I haven't ridden a regular 250 in a long time, so it's hard to compare at the moment, but I plan on doing a shoot out come spring time. What I can tell you is I hated it the first time I rode it. It seems like engine conversions require some heavy suspension tuning. Once I got that dialed in...

I like your place. I tend to be excessive in everything I do, but I have to admit a place like yours is more than enough for the kind of work we do. Back in 2011 I rode a 250F and was getting bored with the sport. Then I took out my old 125 and started having fun again. I sold both bikes and...

This sounds right to me. The fact that you find puddles even when it's not raining makes me think it's more of a condensation problem than drainage. I too doubt the lacking vapor barrier is the problem. My suggestion would be to rule out a condensation problem first by controlling the humidity...

I am in Canada. I ordered the candle from the shop's website.

Here's a little update. The drywall/mud guys are coming next week to finish up the basement, and they'll be doing the garage at the same time, so I'm rushing to get things done right now. These last few days I've been busy getting the walls ready, routing AV wiring, and fixing the vapour...

Here's how I'd do it: remove all grease and grime with soapy water soda blasting would restore the original finish. Depending on what finish you're looking for, you can polish it with wheel polish.

I've done my in-the-works garage in Sketchup For those interested, the link to my build is in my signature.

You are right, I didn't give any info on it. It's a Stelpro Dragon, 5000W ceiling fan heater. It has a heating element wrapped around a fan that recirculates the warm air near the ceiling through the room. It's expensive, but it's well worth the price...

Only if you update your Can-Am build thread on MQ :beer:

I'd be wary of electric construction heaters for long-term heating as they are known to catch fire when used intensively. I'm not familiar with what's available in the US, but I've been using this: http://us.stelpro.com/web_items/web_att_details.asp?attid=V%C2%B6%C2%B5%C2%A4%E2%80%A0%2Ftqmw it...

That's how I do it too. Works very well.

The shed will be coming some day that's for sure. Yesterday while the baby was sleeping I worked a bit in the garage. Mounted up some plywood for the upper cabinets (not done yet) Electrical work is coming along nicely. My brother is coming back tomorrow to finish the job. Nothing new...

The picture you posted looked a lot like the King Canada 20-gal. http://www.kingcanada.com/Products.htm?CD=178&ID=850 The recommended cleaners are listed there. They also state a 12-gal solvent capacity.

Little update: the toolbox came in yesterday. The blue is the actual color of the handles, not a protective film.

Feel free to use my idea, and share your progress so others can use yours! I need to drill a hole through the slab for the sink, I will just make it a bit larger and pass a hard line for the compressor through there at the same time. The heaviest thing I will need to move up and down the stairs...

We purchased this garage in the spring of 2011. It is 22x26 with a basement and attached house. Ground level has a 9' ceiling, and basement is just under 7'. Before moving in, we had a local contractor install a polyurea floor coating for the ground level. Things were set up on the cheap, but...

I happen to live in a place where the climate goes from very cold to very hot (-30C to +35C) throughout the year. Moist cure is not necessary most of the time, but does help increase bearing capacity and crack resistance. I've worked on many projects and those that had the best quality concrete...

I got a Mastercraft Maximum tool chest. I was eyeing it for quite a while and planned on buying it, and it went on sale for 55% off.

This is a slab on grade poured at ground level, right? In this case, if you have sand underneath, I wouldn't worry about it.

+1 on attic trusses. If you're doing the I-beam thing, you can use steel joists for minimal loss of space in the attic. Also, depending on where you relocate, you may need to build your foundation deeper in the ground to protect from freezing. In that case, you should consider a structural slab...
