    Big Maxx 50000 BTU Ontario

    I'm not in Ontario (I'm in Alberta), but Princess Auto stocks the Mr. Heater 4" vertical vent kit (PA SKU 8164899) for $150, or you can order that same kit from Home Depot online and have it shipped to home or closest store. Same deal with Home Hardware out here: takes a couple days to ship to...

    Need timer switch for fireplace

    Looks like a 30-minute timer is model FD30MWC. I have found other models with longer and shorter time intervals on this Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00004W4WX/?tag=atomicindus08-20 I searched 'mechanical bathroom timer' and got results from Woods, Maxxima, Intermatic, and a couple...

    Siding Question

    I've used a Pop© rivet or stainless steel self-tapping (i.e. sheetmetal) screw. They have held fine through 5 years of Canadian temperature fluctuations from -30C to +30C (-22F to 86F) without buckling. Lots of guys will balk at this, but I'm just sharing with you what's worked for me, was...

    Getting "Homelink" to work for all garage door openers

    My 2008 GMC Sierra has no problems working with both an older Genie opener from about 2000 and also a newer Liftmaster from 2014. I'd suggest first clearing all of the stored codes on the truck's Universal Home Remote (UHR) by doing this: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the same...

    Good quality low pressure tire inflators

    I've used Moroso Racing and Longacre Racing gauges for my drag slicks. The gauges are 0 to 15 PSI and are graduated in 1/2-pound increments...

    That user made one post, 2 and a half years ago, and hasn't logged in since. I think your chances of getting a reply are slim to none, and slim's left town :lol_hitti

    Thermostat Location

    Here is some 18/5 -- more than what you need, but might be an option in case you want to change/upgrade systems later: http://www.homedepot.ca/product/18-5-lvt-brown-ft4-228m-75ft/981370 Here is some 18/2 if you're doing heat only...

    Install vapour barrier before I heat in Orangeville?

    This is likely the easiest and least expensive route to go. And yes, it's true that 2 coats of oil-based paint function as a >1 perm barrier. But, depending on the amount of money you have or how handy you are, this would be the time to take down the existing drywall to be sure it is insulated...
