Yup as said earlier, compression fittings, and a tube cutter and a couple flex lines if so inclined

Yup, my aunt had to do the exact same thing! Only she couldn't find a doctor to prescribe the meds here. So she travelled to the U.S. For them... Spent her life savings 40+k but she's alive and doing well. G

There is more profit in treating the disease then curing it..... G

It's cheap junk. No thanks.

So their editable?

Wicked awesome report man!

finally this family has closure as to what happened to their son.

You down with OPP? Yeah you know me!

Awesome report man, those are some nice fish man! G

Sorry, to disagree.... But never use steel stud in a basement with known moisture issues... G

Yup exact same place.

Indian tea is different then what we consider tea.... The tea itself is boiled in the milk, vs water.... And is often very sweet. I personally have had it several times, it's awesome!

In my opinion ( mind you it's only mine) no product applied from the interior of a wall is worth the money. If you are that concerned about seepage it HAS to be dealt with from outside, that mean digging up around the foundation, proper waterproofing installed, new weepers and gravel. Lots of gravel. I did this exact same thing on my first house. I went over kill but I know that basement will never leak a drop so long as it is standing. I pressure washed, parged, tarred, added blue skin and then delta.... Dry as a bone for as long as I owned it..... Over kill? Yes. But I had the stuff laying around.... Might as well.. G

Fat fingers..... Grrrr

I wouldn't lay your sill plate on top of your new subfloor, they need to behave like two seperate systems IMHO. You only tapcon the floor where you feel you need to.... Not 30 tapcons per sheet etc... A few per sheet, and where you know it needs them (shims and to eliminate bounce) should suffice. Your best bet is to install your walls 1" off your brick foundation, incase of moisture/condensation, so the wood will not get mouldy or rot.same goes for your insulation, I recommend Roxal in a basement. The sill plate itself should be on a sill gasket. Again to prevent the plate from rot. The idea is to seal the outside walls from the warm moisture inside the house (which creates the condensation) The tighter you button it up, the better off you will be. G

The OSB of the dry core stuff is different then what you will be able to by in 4x8 sheets, and as Sinker has pointed out, OSB is terrible in wet/damp locations. Plywood also happens to be a lot stronger and durable on a horizontal surface. I am not knocking the dry core products, however there are in my opinion, better and more cost effective routes to go. I have been a contractor for most of my adult life until recently (too hard in the body now due to years of abuse) and I would never steer a fellow member here wrong. The OP could do his whole floor for less then half the cost, and have a superior product to boot. G

Go 1/2" or better, and get plywood, not OSB as stated earlier. As for vapour barrier you would be insane not to install it in a basement. It acts as your thermal break. Meaning the walls are cold, the drywall is warm. Would you rather have a bit of mould of the vapour barrier? Or have wet mouldy drywall? The choice is yours but you would be wasting a crap load of cash, and a ton of effort if you do not use super 6 on those walls. G

Looks like their at it again! Brutal..... Good on the boys and on Ron, for saying enough is enough! G

I found this to be an interesting and informative article. A good Sunday read. http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/topstories/4-reasons-why-feeding-bread-to-ducks-is-stupid-1.3082120 G

No... It won't act as a sill gasket. A sill gasket is just that a gasket, a piece of foam that is compressed by weight/force G

No.... I mean this... http://www.deltams.ca The original dry core just had delta glued to the bottom of the panels. Now they use something else.... But the same results can be achieved by doing as I described above. G

Schmidt. He lost in the end G

Buy a couple rolls of delta.... Add plywood. Some tap cons.... A whole boatload cheaper then dry core. For the exact same thing. Done this many many times. But hey it's your loonies.. G

Might as well shoot all the Bears that do this season after season.... POACHERS!!! I see no problem with this. Spent fish anyway. G

For everyone out there that has difficulty, or anxiety backing up a trailer (seen many posts here about this) it appears Ford has the answer... Check this out. http://www.wired.com/2015/05/ford-makes-backing-trailer-easy-turning-knob/ Now I wonder..... Will that have a knob to remind folks to put in the plug, and to remove the tie downs? Either way pretty cool. "Be a trailer hero" G
