  1. this is a awesome find...I have been fishing this area for 10years and have never seen it until this weekend., It looks like something crashed right out of a star wars movie..lol I know its interesting enough to ask you fine folks.. Bonus points if someone knows where this is..lol https://goo.gl/photos/tgaEpHoVGxo2ojcP9 https://goo.gl/photos/dAPEEVP5woRXgPZL9
  2. Cant wait to see the end result! I love that crib idea..
  3. got it done! Wow what a nut buster that was! https://goo.gl/photos/FR6V6JCDuTMT3KKc7
  4. How close are you Cliff? Im 2 lift locks down from Seymour! We should be up Friday around 2 to 4 pm..Stop by for a brew and a gander if you want..Let me know and Ill PM you my cell #
  5. LMAO I hear ya loud n clear.. I only wish someone had of given me this advice 20 years ago when you could get a rustic cabin on the lake of bays for 80k....Now its a different story.. half a million for a run down shack. I have come to terms with the fact that ill never have a get away unless I do it this way. Having said that ill tell you about our park.. Its a good one.. A keeper if you will. The owner is top notch, he really is.. Even though hes a stinkin Argos fan. lol..3k a year for waterfront and a large double lot as well some of the best multi species fishing in all of Ontario. We pay our own hydro but water garbage pickup and sewage pump-out is included. They have a great rec hall for the kids and do a TON of events for the kids..He does have a 20 year rule but once grandfathered in you could keep it standing a 100 years if you want.. Just anyone new to the park cant bring anything in over 20 years. Back to the dock now...lol I think im just going to go with the sched 80 2 inch pipe pounded into the river bed. we have decided to go 5 x 16 with a deck to the existing stairs..Thanks for all your input folks.. its much appreciated . Will post pics when its finished..Heading up this weeknd to get it done
  6. With the land owners permission I could draw a permit. However I highly doubt he drew any permits for any of the docks there..He didnt seem to think it was an issue .. so now the question remains.. I fI do decide to go ahead and pound posts and the ministry sees that who do they go after? Me or the landowner who gave me permission?
  7. I like this idea alot actually..Seems like it would be much easier
  8. Those tote holders are a great idea..unfortunately it wont work in my river application. The river bed drops from nothing to 8 feet 5 feet from shore
  9. to give you fine folks an good idea this is what im up against.. this spring was about the worst I have seen it in 10 plus years.. This is the 12 to 15 year old dock i currently use (neighbors) they are from Chicago and only come up once or twice a year..lol https://photos.app.goo.gl/5veMjmqOtygCQRhy1
  10. Awesome guys..Great advice. Im of the opinion that its better to beg forgiveness then to ask permission..Here's the deal.. Its in a trailer park. The park owner says go ahead, or he can build it for me for a fee..Thats good enough for me. All his docks have posts pounded into the ground. .As for ice I have NEVER seen ice here.. never...The beauty part of this spot is it moves year round. From the boat launch all the way up to my dock I could boat year round..So Ice is not going to be an issue. The reason i chose 48 inches is because my old dock was 32 inches..I may actually bump it up to 60 inches but no more then that. My only real concern is water flow in the spring and debris like tree branches. As I had said earlier id be happy to get 10 years out of this dock. The dock i currently use is 12 to 15 ish..and its only 32 inches by 15 feet..So regardless of what I decide to do I have to keep in mind the park owns the land and I could be gone at any point.. Hence the low budget. If this were my land id blow the budget clean out of the water lol
  11. Whats thicker schedule 40 or schedule 80? I bought 8 of these things for the dock. http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/stationary-dock-inside-corner-leg-holder-1-8-in-0792635p.html#srp
  12. This is the dock I currently use. I have since upgraded boats. The spot in the background with the massive rocks is my spot......Fun eh... https://photos.app.goo.gl/Qd9PT5NFoww5qFMb2
  13. Im sure pounding posts in the river is not an issue..There are 30 docks down stream from me all built the same. As for lumber I was going to use the new pressure treated lumber. I was told it was ok as long as the dock is not going to be in the water. This dock will be14 inches above the water as the gunnel of my boat is at least that high above the water line. We plan to leave at least 2 feet of pipe above the dock surface so it can be loosened off and lifted even higher every fall.I don't plan on taking it out every year.. this is a once and done type dock..I hope to get at least 10 years out of it.. Our one neighbor has a floating dock and I constantly watch him struggle to walk or sit on it.. then when the fall comes he has to beg us friendly neighbors to help him drag it out..I towed it down stream with my boat and used the winch on my trailer to pull it up on the trailer and to high ground..I dont want anything to do with that. Basically this dock will be 16 feet long and 4 feet wide. I want to be able to sit on it and have a cold brew while fishing and listening to tunes. Oh the life!
  14. If he caught it legally then he is within his right to do so.. Not my cup of tea but who am I to criticize..
  15. Does this work? https://photos.app.goo.gl/MCQypeYj6tOfUiFX2
  16. Hello OFCers how are ya all.? I want to build a small dock at my trailer in the Trent river..The water can be high and fast at times..The dock i want to build is going to be built and suspended above the water with pipes pounded in the riverbed. I was wondering what type of pipe I can use? Galv is stupid expensive fence posts are too weak in my opinion. I can get 1.9 inch schedule 40 pipe for 26 bucks for 10 feet. This is looking like the best option to me. The wife and I both agree a floating dock is not for us so this is the method were going to go with..Im looking for any advise or pointers as I have never done this before. Perhaps you fine folk can come up with some ideas.... How can I share pics now with this photobucket nonsense ?
  17. So after some research I found this news out...Covenant is the new exodus. Look up how to install covenant kodi on google https://github.com/Colossal1/repository.colossus/blob/master/repository.colossus/repository.colossus-999.999.2.zip
  18. Is anyone else having issues again? The only thing left working is exodus and its frustrating me to no end....again.....Watch 3 min ov video them it buffers for 10 minutes..My WIFi is running at over 100mbps and my android box is hardwired to the modem..How is everyone else making out?
  19. It was atleast 10 years old..Im sure it was ethanol but you cant complain about 10 years...
  20. Brilliant! Thanks guys...worked like a charm..Ha to thing I spent 4 hours lastnight messing around with this thing..Did it in under 45 seconds...LMAO. Cliff Ill be in Campbellford in 3 weeks on Vacation..Not to far from you my man...
  21. I heard there was a HUGE joint OPP MNR blitz on Rice lake 2 weekends ago..They were actually warning people on the local news on the radio.
  22. I have a Jonserd chainsaw. 16 inch bar. anyway ts time for new fuel lines...I remove the covers and primer then the carb. now its time to install new lines..lol ya right. The big line in the back went in real nicely..Now the small one in the front. What a nightmare..I have the line cut on a nice 45 and the tube lubed up with some wd-40 and it wont go thru. Is there a trick? There has gotta be.. Any advice would be awesome.. I'm almost at the point of hiring someone soon lol ... I wonder if there is some sort of tool that I can buy or borrow..
  23. I joined all things streaming. i have lots to learn to understand what they are saying...lol I did look up Peter Carcione and enjoyed his videos. He is very easy to follow..I only wish I had his internet speeds...lol had to pause and wait a few time for mine to catch up .. Anyway I ended up deleting Kodi from my andriod box. Reinstalled new 17.3 and watched how Peter installed a build..Easy peasy lemon squeazy . I decided to install team ZT Kryptikz build.. man is that slick..My box has never worked better! Thanks for the help guys!
  24. see thats where im lost...I bought this darn thing loaded..I have no clue how to do what you just said...however I have a good basic idea of how it works..I assume krypton is a different version then jarvis? if so how do I wipe the current version off my android box and reinstall a new one?
