Think I shot my back out lifting the lawn mower over the side walls… But damn it’s easy to transport things with those walls up! These were the brackets at the top of the list: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BYL68N5C

Whew…good thing it’s all fake money… https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/elon-musk-lost-650-billion-095211905.html

I need to figure a way to make the back end removable safely while maintaining rigidity. Need to put a lawn mower and bunch of gear in there soon, and it will be painful to lift up that high with just my wife helping out. @oioioi recommended me some good brackets to use, but I'm also thinking...

Damn...wish I had seen this before dad built my trailer walls...although would need to check if it fits my folding trailer as it may be very specific to a DK2... https://www.costco.ca/dk2-4-ft.-x-8-ft.-open-rail-kit-.product.4000397892.html So if anyone has a folding trailer...this would be a...

I always debate b/w the 4x4 or 6x6 whenever I'm building something. Leaning toward the 6x6 but not sure if I need to buy the 12ft or 8ft will suffice. Don't need this thing super tall so will do some measurements and then decide. 4ft deep minimum considering the winter frost up there. I'm...

Thanks. We have a similar design (smaller) in the back and it hasn't moved an inch. It's sitting on gravel instead of being dug into the ground for support. This one I'll do a 4ft base. My biggest concern is the 6x6 (or 8x8) rotting over the years and then it's a pain to replace without having...

Very nice! I wasn’t planning on putting a deck floor on it. In all honesty i want to make it large enough (within no permit needed requirements) where I can park the car under it in the winter when we go up. The area currently looks like this… Plan is to go to one extra row / column of...

No. This is around the patio stones I posted a few pages go. If we ever go the slab route, it'll be b/w the posts, but the posts will not be on any concrete deck, only in/above the footers that go 4ft down.

At least no one will steal it.

Help me settle an argument with dad GTAM brain trust... Planning on building a 10x11 or 11x11 gazebo / pergola at the cottage in the fall. Dad opinion: - post MUST be embedded in the concrete footing to be good MP opinion: - post CAN be placed ABOVE the concrete footing on brackets to...

Colour me surprised…. 4/4 battery down to 2/4 after mowing the front, side, and half of rear yard. 2/4 bars left and only place I didn’t mow is under the pool / trampoline.

I'll make sure to call you BEFORE I start my Maverick brakes. Looking online for new rotors + pads this week as I'm feeling a rumble and the front 100% will need to be replaced soon...but I'd rather just do all 4. Wondering whether OEM Ford or aftermarket is the better option. Back to EVs...

I tried to do my Odyssey's rear brakes once...a 2-3hr job ended up taking 8-10hrs, with @GreyGhost driving down from his place to come help me out. I will never forget that man's good nature to help me out.

Ugh that sucks. I've had to rip out a few rows previously where I had a similar issue.

I should really get going on that. Noticing my mobility is falling off a cliff at 46.
