Where’s the update? March has come and gone!

Every year for the last 2-3 years or so, and it’s getting worse. I see some of em today near our trees but those bastards will multiple 1000x. I just accept them.

No raised towers. Just the standard rubber blocks which are flat and too large to mate with the jack points. Hockey pucks would work. I'll pick up some lift pucks and try the perpendicular method.

It’s actually too short for the Maverick and Odyssey. Difference is that Maverick has an exposed continuous seam so there’s somewhere to lift. Odyssey has cutouts for lift points so I’d need a raise to lift those spots specifically but perpendicular may work. Maverick is mostly weight in the...

My only regret with my current house in Mississauga is going with a side split. Never again. Not sure what the hell we were thinking, but no full basement, hard to go in either direction with big dollars. If it wasn't for the area we love...I'd be moving in a heartbeat. Unfortunately with...

Would be awesome to raise it, but I don't think it's worth the effort / money for such a small space. The more I think about it and plan around it, the less likely it seems that it's worth the effort here. I'll need to re-measure as I can't remember if the 77" was my already calculating in...

Just met up with a realtor friend of ours this evening. Said the market is effectively dead for the most part. Only movement is for houses that are priced according to current climate. Anything still listed in post COVID price isn’t moving. She’s said she’s super busy with leases though.

Tire swap day at the MP household! Great toy I bought myself recently helped out immensely. Now to gather some courage and swap out that suspension… Also I wish the QuickJack was more versatile. It’s great and all, but can’t do the Odyssey and Maverick because of the access to the seam on...

It’s a great idea but the problem is parents that aren’t clear with their plans. One month - they’re selling Next month - they’re keeping Next month - they’re selling Next month - they’re keeping And on and on and on. I’m not putting any money into it unless a plan forward is created and...

Never considered the entry from outside between the two. Was thinking of removing one of the bedrooms, expanding the washroom, and building stairs between the two floors. This is current entrance….

4 egress windows already there. The 77” height is rather low, but it’s a cottage and not a full on house.

That’s a def option. Was thinking of how to link the two. Upstairs is old and dated and if parents decide to pass it along I’d like to expand it for our family (and guests). Building up or out is gonna be expensive and not worth it. Making basement livable may be an option. Selling and...

recommendation on how to make this a living space. Full size dimensions are : 28ft x 25ft x 77” (LxWxH). It’s the cottage basement and doesn’t have an entryway from the house and is currently just storage. Figure it may be much cheaper to remove one of the bedrooms upstairs and build a...

Always read that the VFR1200 is worse than the 800 if almost every way. My buddy had one a while back and liked his so I guess it all comes down to personal preference and comfort. Apparently these also have fairly low range for a sport touring.

Ya...maybe it's just because it was my first time working on doors and the track saw system. I need to learn more, dad has so many tools...so so many...that I will most likely inherit them with time and I probably don't know how to use 50% of them.
