We’re looking at options. Only 170k on the 2018 Odyssey so plenty of life left. She can take the Maverick to work and I’ll gladly drive the Odyssey to its grave. FML when I saw the price of new minivans….looking forward to starting a new thread. ‘Minivan or SUV’

It's been a long time since I sent a message...no response at all and no indication the seller even read my message. Plus it's about 1/2 price of anything comparable. I've seen 6x12 trailers for lower prices than 5x10 or 5x8 trailers. 5x8 is my preferred, 5x10 is next. 6x12 is huge (friend...

I had the pleasure of replacing my wife's Oddysey battery in the fun -10C weather we had a few weeks ago....do not recommend. Especially since the battery requires the intake to be taken out to get access to it. Her car died a handful of times during this winter season and I can't always be...

What's 'Standing seam'? Don't think I ever heard that term before. EDIT: N/M just found it...I like this style. Probably can put this atop the existing shingles on the roof.

I'd say my roof is WAY easier to work on than yours. Much smaller, and less of an angle to work up there. If I can figure out a way to get the first / second layer on at the higher part...I can do the rest from the top and my plan was to install a tie-off (or 3) right at the top, so I can...

17k!? wow...my neighbour had his shingled roof replaced last year for 8k, which is the way I was leaning. I've done multiple roof shingle replacements before with my dad...but on single story bungalows, so while fall from height was a concern...I'll take a 12ft fall over a 20ft fall any day.

This is exactly what I'm looking for...minimum need is 4x8.

Damn….tempting tempting tempting https://www.facebook.com/share/1BaU2czJy1/ Someone buy this before I do

OH boy...house accidentally demolished in 2018 by a contractor...guy is still waiting for his money... https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/video/2026/01/10/man-speaks-out-after-contractor-mistakenly-demolishes-his-familys-house/

FBMP is getting worse and worse with scammers infiltrating it. I sell and buy on it but fairly low dollar value goods (except motorcycles). For that type of item…I’d just go to the closest specialist card / collector shop and get the low ball offer, ask for more, and come to a number that...

It’s simple…marketing. ‘Premium’ product = premium pricing.

Yes that’s correct. Poland is: metal > shingles > clay > ‘rubber’ Don’t think I’ve ever seen concrete tile. There’s a few houses on our streets with metal roofs and the bonus was that they literally just put them atop the shingles without removing the old cladding. Then there’s the one house...

Funny because in Poland metal roofs are the standard….shingled roofs are the premium….and rubber roofs are the big deal for the ballers nowadays over there.

I’ve got all the tools in the house here with my dad. It’s the fear of heights that keeps me from doing it.

I was looking at a metal roof, but at 2-3x the cost of shingles…the math doesn’t work for me. He’ll if it wasn’t for the 20ft drop on the top half of the house I’d just do it myself….but I’m scared of heights. Keep us posted if you get quotes as I’m curious if 2-3 times is real or just smoke...
