  1. Lol I thought the same, hoping for a Anaheim Tampa final I'd be happy to see either win, though NYR would be good too, the window is shrinking for them though hopefully they don't turn into a vancouver
  2. Quoted on the 2lb spray foam, started at $800 and a few were $900, not sure if its worth it as roxul would be about $200 plus poly and was also looking into a rigid board on the wall then roxul in the joists.. but I do like it as a product for sure so I'll need to talk to my brother and have his input as its his house as well
  3. Yeah I'd like to do that if I could, first need to see how my fix thus far has worked when we get some rain, as it stands ripping up a 7 year old driveway isn't too enticing. So far its been dry since I filled with hydraulic cement then went over it with some long life waterproof caulking I sprayed the hell out of it for half an hour and not a drop anywhere so that's a nice feeling so far
  4. That was my thoughts,on spacing and insulation. I will be using a sill gasket for sure and on my exterior walls bluwood from Lowes, who also happen to sell delta so bonus haha. I'm also in the process of getting some quotes for 2lb spray foam but I do know it will be quite a bit more expensive than the roxul option Any thoughts on blue seal I was thinking of using it to stop any moisture from entering http://m.homedepot.ca/product/ProductDetails.aspx?productid=967088&lang=en
  5. They handled that well, I'd have told them off lol
  6. What width would you suggest? 3/8"? Another question, I've been looking at different options in terms of insulation and have found a couple places saying below grade basements should not have vapour barrier as it inhibits mold and gives any moisture a spot to condense onto from that standpoint I would think I shouldn't be vapour barriering the basement?
  7. Have never heard of that before. I'll have to check out turkstra they are listed as a supplier, any idea on cost for the 220 square footage? Also would this be suitable to run all the way to the wall and then use as a sill gasket for under the studs so if in the event that there ends up being some moisture behind the wall it is able to ventilate?
  8. Also I should add when demoing there was minimal moisture except in one spot which has been patched with a long life waterproof caulking
  9. The moisture problem has seemingly been fixed by proper caulking along my driveway where it meets the house, hoping for some real rain so I can test it with the addition of my hose lol I've had it soaked for 35 mins without a drip, but I like the idea of being able to level without losing headroom as I only have 79" and if I have to do a subfloor to get carpet why not get the air gap for proper breathing for the foundation
  10. LOL
  11. Anyone have any experience with it? I like the idea but am not sold on it at $6.50 per tile... Will be for a basement, about 220 square feet will be needed for the bedroom area (the remainder stays unfinished concrete) would need it for the area from the structural beam to the wall and from the post to the wall
  12. That's a hog! I wonder what he did with it, mount or eat lol
  13. I wonder who babs is gonna have on either side of him on the bench for assistant coaches?
  14. I'm excited to see whats going to happen, exciting times to be a leaf fan and with Babcock I'm sure there will be a myriad of talented players that will want the opportunity to play under him as a leaf and I'm sure the culture in the dressing room will be changed as well on the ice
  15. Dinner on Sunday.. Cedar planked salmon with a brown sugar spice rub on it.. Had it on for 30 mins was moist and tasted like candy from the brown sugar caramelizing
  16. Nice catch, great day to be out I bet
  17. Ah kijiji is the worst for that, people flake all the time so when you're actually wanting to buy whatever the item is sellers generally don't take reservations. Had a similar experience last year with a phone I was going to get for my sister, called the guy at lunch said I would be there around 6:00 as I was coming from Winona to Brantford after work so I drive out there go to the house and say I'm here for the phone and he tells me he sold it at 2:00 and didn't bother calling me. I almost punched him in the face, instead he got an earful from me
  18. A good brand in terms of availability in parts would be York, carrier or trane,( I have a Payne which is basically a carrier) Lennox has a nice product but we have sometimes had issues with getting parts in a timely manner, York is also going through some re engineering or something as they've put all of their economisers for certain sizes of their predator series rooftops on hold and won't ship any out until they figure out the engineering behind it
  19. Those prices are high wow. the actual price on the ac and furnace would be under $2000 as a business buying it, I just installed a horizontally mounted furnace plus coil and condenser the cost on it was $1700
  20. Lol nice report sweet fish as usual!
  21. I'd stay away from Goodman, have some quality issues other than that all are a good quality.. If you're going to be in the house for a considerable amount of time I would look at a dual stage furnace you'll save a ton in gas, one of my co workers had a $50 gas bill this past winter when mine was $130 and I have a 6 year old high eff. Given my house is older by about 40 years lol
  22. If it were my house I'd replace both you'll see a nice energy savings
  23. How old is your existing furnace and is it a mid or high efficiency?
  24. Rennie is a decent operation, I had a buddy from school used to work there
  25. Wooooowweeeeeee! Tampa's got their foot on Montreal's throat!
