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.

Sorry about your loss Mike. May they rest in peace knowing they were loved.

Def the right call. No point in a new chain without new sprockets at that km range. I'd say you can't go wrong with either OEM or aftermarket from a reputable source.

Mallet to tap it into place. If that doesn’t work, take odd the closest long edge baseboard, get the tool that slots in there and mallet to tap them all 3 in so hopefully that one locks. If that doesn’t work…gotta take em apart.
