    Under tile heating mats

    Looking to redo my basement bathroom. I would like to install heat this time under the tile. What’s everyone using these days? Looks like there’s a few varieties, some on Amazon etc, but I’m worried about something failing if it’s cheap crap..

    Camper rental- side gig

    Agreed, we have had a couple older 5th wheels, late 90’s Citation and 05 vanguard. Definitely better built than the new ch!t these days. The unit I’m interested in is 26 ft 09 bumper pull with a decent side slide.

    Camper rental- side gig

    Found a decent deal on a camper, don’t really need one since we built a cabin few years ago. But was thinking it might come in handy when working out of town sometimes and for ball tournaments during the summer. Throwing around the idea of maybe renting out when I’m not using it. Any one have...

    2023 Sled Show in Saskatoon

    Ya I'll probably check it out again. It was a pretty expensive outing for me and my son to go do a couple laps last year and get some beer sticks...Sounds like kids 15 & under get in free, so he makes it in under the wire this year. Need some new gloves this year. And as a Cat guy maybe see...

    Oil Change issues

    Bought a new to me 2019 GMC AT4 from the dealer this year just before Christmas. Noticed after I had it few weeks, probably closer to a month, when I had the hood open to boost a co worker one day. Just happened to see no filler cap on oil fill. Managed to find the cap rattling around up front...

    2005 GMC 1500- Is it worth fixing up??

    I'd say it was worth it! ₩Did all the body work my self. Probably about $500-600 for the replacement corners and slip on rockers. Zip cut out the rust areas and welded in new pieces, epoxy primered then did the raptor. Raptor supplied silver birch to mix in. Colour match raptor liner was around...

    2005 GMC 1500- Is it worth fixing up??

    Funny you mention Lucas, watched a few YouTube videos I figured I’d give it a try. Also did the valve cover mod on the drivers side, and now the smoke at start up has disappeared. Might have to giver a new nickname FIL used to call it “old smokie”. Still have a few things on list to fix, but I...

    2005 GMC 1500- Is it worth fixing up??

    So far the going rate for a wrecker 5.3 engine is $900-1500, when I checked locally. Need to have a better look at the truck this weekend and go from there.

    2005 GMC 1500- Is it worth fixing up??

    It's got a 5.3. Smokes blue most of the time. Burns oil, father in law says it clatters somtimes if you get on the pedal too hard.

    2005 GMC 1500- Is it worth fixing up??

    So my father-in law has bought a new truck and I was throwing the idea of fixing up his 05 Gmc 1500 extended cab for my son. The truck has high km's (300,000). He bought the truck new and used it mostly around the city for his small electrical company before he retired. Body is ok shape i think...

    So I bought a truck for my daughter…..

    Just followed their prep recommendations, Scuff with spec'd sand paper grit, Acid etch primer for any bare metals, adhesion promoter on plastics ( I did the top cap on my front bumper where the fake chrome was starting to peel)

    So I bought a truck for my daughter…..

    Cool project with your kid, FYI the RAptor White is a great match to GM white. Just did my truck's rockers and inside bottom door jambs and did the tailgate that was badly rock chipped. Turned out very nice! Easy to work with and looks great! Got quite a few comments on my truck so far. Highly...

    Let's Talk...... Pressure Washers

    What model of the stihl washer are you guys running? I'm thinking the 130 might be suited for using up at the lake for washing quads and odd jobs at cabin washing siding and decks.
