  1. Village Marina will do you good right in Honey, pretty much follow HH road right to the end on the right cant miss it big long narrow parking lot
  2. I got some liquid rubber around if your interested in it
  3. beautiful animal, great deed
  4. any more of those and the georgian bay guides will be jealous LOL nice fish
  5. I had an evinrude that when I changed it would always appear milky, brought it in they pressure tested it passed with flying colours......go figure never had a problem with the lower end but did change the oil religously regardless
  6. LEW, Key to any good repair is the surface prep, make it nice and clean (wirebrush, sandblast or powerwash) and a good polymer repair mortar such as a Sika Top 123 BASF Gelpatch (very good material, Mapei Panitop X will work. Dampen concrete before you patch let surface dry, a good scub coat (slurry coat) and patch. Looks like LEW did a good job, wonder if he wants a job. LOL Bryan
  7. Very nice fish!
  8. boats and citidiots r gone i kinda like HH in the fall........
  9. McNair lost me when he went about asking people at the Odessey and I quote "Do you want my autograph?" and asking "Do you know who I am? Nice fish no doubt.....the rest of it no thanks.
  10. I am a self employed specialty concrete restoration contractor and here is what I would do. You have a couple options to repair the cracks using concrete crack injection and then deal with the drainage of the weepers. Excavate the perimeter of foundation, Option #1 Polyurethane inject the cracks, this will provide you with a flexible watertight seal in the cracks that will move with any future settlement or movement you house will experience Option #2 Epoxy inject the cracks - this repair will bond the cracks back structurally but will not allow for any future settlement or movement of the foundation. The posibility of the wall cracking in other areas or the same areas is a very good possibility as it has no "give" once epoxy injected. Once the cracks are injected, grind the exterior face of the cracks or sandblast and apply Blueskin Primer. Then apply a layer of blueskin over the cracks. Powerwash the entire foundation and apply a waterproofing membrane such as Mel Rool, or spray it with liquid rubber. Replace weepers, install a delta MS drainage board and backfill with 3/4 clear gravel. The photo with the horizontal crack is somewhat disturbing, the wall has basically failed and it begining to probably bow into the basement. The horizontal cracks should be epoxy injected, it can also be reinforced using carbon fibre strips on the interior that essentially will act as rebar and act as a tension member to prevent the inward bow of the wall. The vertical cracks should be injected with polyurethane not epoxy. Honestly I would excavate, new weeping tile, epoxy inject all horizontal cracks, polyurethane inject all vertical cracks, prepare and apply blueskin over all cracks, apply a waterproofing membrane (Liquid rubber) to entire foundation wall exterior (minus the blueskin areas) apply Delta MS drainage board to exterior of the foundation and back fill. Monitor the bowing of the wall inward over a year or so, if it continues look at carbon fibre strengthening of the wall to stop the bowing. The hill is pressing on your foundation which not a good thing as the hill always wants to move downward. Just be aware that the epoxy area maybe crack once again if the wall continues to bow in the future. If it does it can be injected with polyurethane resin from the inside if it leaks again, but with the blueskin it should not. Big job for sure, not going to be cheap if you want it done right. Here is my website, you can see some of the projects I have been involved with. www.advancedconcretesolutions.ca Let me know if you need any other help or information. Bryan
  11. make that exact same dish except with an olive tapenade inside, awesome!!!
  12. Honestly it isnt much, just little spots of mould on some old cabinetry.Remove and throw them into a garbage bin. Tyvek, respirators, neg air, filters, and a good splash down with bleach will kill it. I will be painting the concrete walls of the room with a anti mould coating also. Im just not right up to speed on the how the green book handles it. Sounds like its very straight forward. When I am done that room will be spick and span. Thanks for the help guys. Bryan
  13. I have been asked by a good customer to remove some desks in a reservoir building that have some mould on them. It is not alot of mould but enough that my workers and I will be wearing respirators, tyvek and possible negative air in the room. Is there any other things I should be doing like training or likewaise so I do this according to the OHSA? I will be opening my green book also but just thought Id throw this out there. Is mould abatement regulated as strict as doing asbestos? As far as I know its not but I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing here. Thanks, Bryan
  14. www.trojantackle.ca Dave Dutchak will set you up with the down easters and all the hardware to mount them properly to your boat.
  15. I got a Traegar and a Green Egg, All depends what you want, the Green Egg will do everything for you, smoke at 185 degrees to sear your steaks at 800 degrees. The BGE requires a little more input needed with charcoal and tending to the heat but once the temp is set you are good to go. Bag or two of lump will last you a whole summer for 10 or 12 bucks a bag. BGE will last you a lifetime. Dont be afraid of the price, ceramic does not rot. The Traegar will do a wide variety of stuff, smoke and also cook up to 425 degrees. It is very easy to use basically turn it on and walk away. The pellets can get expensive at 20 bucks a bag, you will burn through almost a bag of pellets doing up a pork shoulder for 14 hours. The Traegar is by far easiest smoker I have ever used. I have had to replace the hotrod, sooner or later it will need parts. I got a cheap $100 electric smoker years ago for a gift.....lasted 3 uses and the element burned out, after that I went with a Traegar and then the BGE, you get what you pay for. I heard the Weber Keg is prone to possible cracking if you bring it up to temp real quick......but I have no first hand knowledge of this. Very similiar to the BGE. A home made fridge smoker looks like fun, but I never went that route Have fun smokin!
  16. I am expanding my business fleet to run a 14 foot tandem enclosed trailer with my 2500 HD in and out of Toronto and the 400 series highways. I know I will be over 4500 kg, do i have to get a CVOR number registered for my business or is annual safety for truck and trailer and a logged walk around sufficient. Thanks, Bryan
  17. Buying from China might be better than buy a canadian made bbq made in Barrie and it being the biggest piece of crap bbq I have ever bought, next bbq I buy is not going to be Canadian made I know that.
  18. cut it with the emails and get the guy on the phone the old fashioned way.......i find thats the only way to get it done sometimes
  19. just a little bit of razzin workwear, how old are you or shall i guess?
  20. How many times have you had to weld the the skid and replace the sliders on that yammie?
  21. LOL guess we will see...........
  22. the yammie is junk, scrap it and buy verado!
  23. Olive lake is a good place, little expensive now, used to be a cheap place when it was Camp Richfeld. Never got skunked on Olive Lake, lots of pike, walleye and huge snallies. Wicksteed is supposed to be good for walleye, but there is a TON of dead heads out there that will ened your day in a hurry, never fished but heard good things about it other than the dayenders.
  24. very cool Dax! yes i do know your name LOL
  25. Polyester resin does not like water.......your kidding right???? I wonder what Ranger boats are made of? If the mat is left unsaturated and exposed to water or chemical it will act as a wick and suck the moisture into the laminate. Its all in the quality of the job you do not the resin. I just hope all the FRP tanks I have lined with fiberglass dont start to fall apart....... Ive used thousands of gallons of fiberglass resins and epoxy resin, never had one that wont resist water and btw a canoe would not be considered immersion service.
