Thanks! I’ve never cleaned a carb before but will keep this up one. Clean it up, and keep it as a spare.

Think I need to replace the carb on an old mower….barely runs like it’s starving for fuel. The motorcycle lift is getting more use now as a work table than it did as a motorcycle lift. Now if only the Amazon driver would show up….any minute now…any minute…

I won't mix threads here, but this is a direct failure of the justice system. Catch and release isn't the fault of the cops (most times), but the judges that allow leniency for this type of behaviour. Just goes to show...riders were doing nothing wrong at all, and could've been both killed in...

Wow nice! Thanks for the additional info! Currently seeing rental prices in the $200-300/day range for micro/mini excavators with bucket. The trencher is also an option just need to reach out to a few but the only ones I found had a 36" trencher. Locates ordered this morning, but the next...

My biggest concern is dealing with the roots of 2 very tall (70-100ft) trees.

Agreed. How a utility is treated is dictated by the owner of said utility. Whether hydro, telecommunication, gas, or water...each utility has their own standards, rules, and requirements for installation. Don't adhere to their requirements...oops...no utility for you. I'm on the hunt for the...

It looked like a car was coming off the highway and crossed the median into oncoming traffic right in front of the riders... That's what I gathered from the comments in the post where I pulled the video from. Allegedly a drunk driver.

Too bad. I find the Volvo offerings with Polestar some of the nicest vehicles on the road.

150ft at approx 42” deep. 36” is cable depth on 6” of sand….which in Wasaga is basically the soil so they’ll accept 36” as long as there’s no rocks / sharp objects at that depth.

Requirements: Maybe I'll throw a GTAM bbq and trench digging party in Wasaga...

Got an initial quote of 4k for trenching for the upgrade to electrical service at the cottage. Thought I was going to puke... 36in trench for approx 120-150ft (need to route around some trees). Any other recommendations? I can buy a trencher for that price from what I'm seeing online. Can...

Damn...

Thanks @Gary and @GreyGhost ... you're both right. I can just add the last row/column to make it slightly larger and then build up the gazebo / pergola around it. And if it shifts...well it'll be empty b/w the posts so I can take care of it at that time.

We have the Yardistry 11x13 at home and really like it. Honestly with the price of wood...may be cheaper to buy a ready made one instead of building one. However, they thin aluminum roof of the Yardistry concerns me for Wasaga winters as snow load can get up there pretty quickly if not...

Good timing for all this shed / gazebo talk along with leveling paver area a few pages back. Got this hot mess at the cottage that is effectively unusable in the heat / rain / any weather besides overcast. There was a tree that gave lots of shade, but that tree split in half so we had to cut it...
