We have traveled back and forth across Canada and all over the place in between, in both summer and winter, with our 2 dogs in the back of our truck. We ALWAYS get a canopy for this very reason. No sense taking up a perfectly good seat with a dog that isn't comfy sitting on a seat anyway. As...

Ditto on Tapcons. Get the 1/4" hex head ones, they torque in better, make sure you get a nice thick one too. Depending on your design the fasteners will be in a shear failure mode. The best design is like the photo above where you provide a cantilever, that way the top fastener is in tension and...

There should be a spot on the AC unit to attach a drain hose to so it doesn't drip on you.

We used Ultravic roofing from Vic-west. They have lots of tips on their website. http://www.vicwest.com/en/residential/products/steel-roofing/ultravic dunno if you can get it where you are, we bought it through Home Despot, came with all the little bits & pieces we needed. My bro in law and I...

I would go with the Picquick too. Full sized bits so you can use them in a drill if need be, the bits are held tightly in the handle and you get the 6 most common bit you need.

Given recent events, I would have to say: the "I got drunk and put 9 .40S&W rounds through the side of the garage but don't get in $hit" tool

My opinion is that the Robertson KILLS. So, 'tever! Cool Beans!!!

If Philips was designed to cam out how come so many Philips fasteners have been stripped out in their homes? That Ford thing is crazy. Makes sense though, Ford was like today's Wal-Mart. "Don't want to party with me? Well, I will make you suffer"!

Hook up with Mr. Robertson, brah. Better than torx. We call the end of that screw a wood biter helps the screw get a good grab early. Robertson bit hangs onto a screw much better than a torx.

I always figured the Torx would be a driver that would not have a long life. Even smaller angles than a Philips always made me think it would be weaker.

Ok, What do we think. I know not many yankees know what a Robertson screw is, except for the guys who had to deal with every single crate I ever sent to the US. What do we think. My big deal is how much better the Robertson hangs on to the driver on it's own before you have placed it against...

Ditto on the chalk line. One tip tho, the cheap chalk that comes with them is junk, the circular saw blows it all away, get some good semi permanent chalk.

Sounded like you were waiting for a month at a time for each new component. Unless it was just a dollars thing. When we did our kitchen it all came in one bunch.

I have a 31x24 and I have 3 8' T12 cold weather, high output double bulbs. http://www.homedepot.ca/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogSearchResultView?D=972619&Ntt=972619&catalogId=10051&langId=-15&storeId=10051&Dx=mode+matchallpartial&Ntx=mode+matchall&recN=0&N=0&Ntk=P_PartNumber I have the 90W...

Sounds like your cabinet supplier needs a pimp slap! We bought a house in Edmonton for $189,500 in 2005, lived there for 15 months, redid the kitchen painted a couple of rooms and sold it for $369,000, OH SNAP!

Nice. Throws a cool light on the doors. Now what you need to to is retro-ize the garage to match with some barn planking and old gas station stuff.

Trusses should be on 24" centres tho, mine were. I would go with 16" anyway for the walls because, as mentioned, it won't cost much more but in most places 16" is code whether 2x4 or 2x6 and all the other building supplies like insulation batts and sheeting work better with 16" c/c.

Anything that burns propane and in a confined space will build up CO. colourless, odorless and 200 times more likely to bind to your hemoglobin than O2. Problem once it does it stays there and won't allow O2 to bind with the hemoglobin and you die. That being said I used a similar heater all...

A couple of tools that you must have: 4' level, 4' t square, carpenter's square, sledgehammer for bumping things into place, survey string with level, 100' tape. Nice to have tool: I can't say how much I love this thing. Normally I am not much of a nail guy, I prefer screws and my 1/4" cordless...

I have one of the ebay weird named chinese ones. It is about 7 gallons. I think it was around $300. I started using regular detergents but did more research and found that the most important feature of ultrasonic solutions is degassed. The dissolved gases in the water make the ultrasonic action...
