    What type of flooring?

    I was talking with a friend yesterday. He's building a new house and had this type of floor put down. Of course he hasn't moved in yet and time will tell, but he (and I) have seen it in showhomes and it looks ok. My friend says it's less expensive than Racedeck. However, no matter the cost, if...

    What type of flooring?

    Bought a new (to me) house with a triple car garage. The concrete floor is in fairly good shape (it's only 8 years old). I want to cover the floor, however, we live in a (very) northern climate. (Saskatoon, Saskatchwean - also home of E-tec) In winter the cars are always dripping snow, slush...

    What's on your walls? Neat storage ideas!

    Here's something I've been thinking about doing in a storage room in our basement that I want to turn into an office. It's quite a long room, so we could still use a portion of the end of it as storage: http://www.wikihow.com/Build-a-Hidden-Door-Bookshelf

    Nesting birds?

    I used plastic owls - didn't work. The best thing I used was called "Tacky Toes". It should be available at better garden and agricultural stores. It comes in a tube - you use a caulking gun to apply it. It is really just sticky stuff you put right on the area where the birds congregate. They...

    tool list

    My Gawd, if only wife approval was that easy!!! LOL. For the miter saw: make it a dual bevel sliding miter saw. Makes it much more versatile than a regular miter saw. Also, a miter saw stand and roller stands for the longer stock. Corded and cordless drills/drivers. The more power the better...

    Picky A$$hole or what?

    Hey guys, no need to loose your mind over this. Aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhhhh I hate that. That's the problem with lazy people and spellcheckers. The word is "lose". I don't know how many times I've seen it spelled "loose" and it's clear the author was too lazy to check their grammar as opposed...

    newbie from cold Canada

    Hey all, We've had our house for 18 years but have now outgrown it so the family has bought a larger home with a triple car garage. Whereas our old house has a double garage, it is a fairly small one and I couldn't do much in it. My new garage is completely finished inside including a natural...
