  1. GBfisher is 100% right...I worked for Empire homes a few years ago. All I did was Tarion work. The problem were having today is these bigger builders are using sub trades for this type of work. They would think nothing to swap n skimp to save a few pennies. Been there done that had to deal with the miserable homeowners to get the t-shirt. Truse me insulation issues are NOT just a thing of the 70's. I do referal work for 2 different insulation comapnys. I go in remove garage ceilings and prep for the insulation. when insulation is complete I return and reboard. And yes you wll want all your duct work foamed over too! Again good luck
  2. Hi there.. I didnt read any other responses on this issue yet so im sorry if it has already been said. You need to cut a hole in the drywall of garage ceiling to determine what the issue is. Insulating your garage door will do nothing. I do these rooms over garages all the time.in fact im on my 4th this week alone. I have seen all the builders tricks. Im almost willing to bet they used r28 pink insulation with the vapor barrior insalled on the wrong side of the insulation.There will also no doubt not be any tuck tape on the seams of the vapor barrior.I have seen where the builders actually use your hard earned $ to heat the cavity between the floor joists to the drywall. Of course that wont work and all that does is waste energy, no matter how you heat. There also may be 1/2 pound foam. If its foam and white and you are able to make a snow ball like thing its no good. That foam is an "open cell" foam and air will travel right thru it. The only way (in my mind) is to remove all drywall and any insulation (including the 1/2 pound) on the ceiling and have Insta Insulation in to apply aprox 3 to 4 inches of 2lb "closed cell" foam. The nice thing about the 2lb foam is it is a vapor barrior.It may cost you a couple thousand dollars but you will never have a cold room above again. Please feel free to PMme if you wish further information. Hope this info helps! Now to go back and read past posts! Good luck to all with cold rooms over garages. There realy is only one way to fix them.
  3. Awesome. Another 40 bux, go figure. My son is in the navy cadets and he recived a military id card to get over the border..They went over to Buffalo last summer to go on a navy battle ship of some sort. anyway I think id rather stay here in Canada where the beer is semi cheap. As far as this hockey tourny, this is by far my favorite next to the olympics.These kids can fly! Canada has a solid defence this year. Offence on the other hand.....Yikes. Im not liking what im seeing roster wise, so far.
  4. If you found him on a referal then he more then likely gets most of his work on referal. A contractor like this wouldnt want to risk his business with an unhappy customer..Talk it over with him and see what he says. If he is a respectfull guy he will look after you.I know I would anyway.
  5. Ya im in the same boat Don..I guess I should stop dragging my heals on the pasport deal. What are these special licences you can get to go across the border? I see the commercials on TV. Nexus or whatever thier called. Anybody?

  12. I actually thught it was a horrible game. We were in the mancave watchin. All I have to say is thank god for darts n beer. Other wise that game would have been turned off. I wonder how many leaf fans switched it off only to find out they won this AM...lol Good work Toronto! I love it when we beat the caps!
