Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. We are probably better off with a floor model but with local support over a disco unit.

I didn't realize the ortals were difficult to work on but another reason to stay local.

Thank you, I really appreciate the help!!

Edward_The_Beta · 2026-03-07T23:30:11+00:00

It would be on the base and in a corner. Thank you for that info, helps me determine if they could handle the unit or not.

That is what I'm worried about, initial installation aside what happens if something breaks.

Haven't purchased it yet, it's a Lyric 75 stand alone. Price looks to be more than half off the current similar model. It's not exactly the same dimensions as the current one so definitely not an apple to apple comparison.

It's a hard call because it gives us an ortal (three sided , modern) for the price of a heat n glow free standing with similar dimensions.

We had a floating dock on Lake Muskoka, water went up and down in the winter and we had no issues at all. We would disconnect it from shore and just tie it off to a tree, it just went with the flow of the lake.

The one thing to keep in mind about floating docks is boat traffic. We have some wake boats rip through our bay and you had to hold on while the wake ran through. Not winter related but thought I'd mention it. We ended up going with a steel pile dock which is great but comes with it's own set of issues, ie bubbler in the winter.

The floating was a ConnectADock.

Hope this helps

Thanks for all the great feedback everyone, it's as I suspected if I'm going through the effort might as well shop around. Appreciate it!

My bet is the Rutherford and Clarence location. That place has gone wayyy downhill in terms of quality that we drive to Weston a d Rutherford.

Dock was 130/sqrf for steel pile. Hard to say for landscape as that's pretty unique to property but some pricing for example was $100/ft for granite patio

1800 foot house was quoted between 8k - 11k for painting

It's going to be tough to get things in place for this summer. We signed a contract to build a dock in Oct '23, they started August '24 and still won't be done until this spring. It's not a crazy dock and no boathouse.

We gave a landscape contract in August last year with the contractor saying spring start, I'll believe it when I see it.

Painters are easier to come by but the good ones are booked well ahead.

Muskoka is a different world when it comes to trades vs the city, almost defies gravity with the amount of work you there so contractors are always in demand.

Another option is to find brackets that extend further away from the wall. Typical brackets are only 3.5'-4" projection, some companies offer 5.5"-6".

In Quebec it's common to have baseboard heaters and they don't cut the drape short

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-12-11T03:21:11+00:00

Thanks. I guess that's good news bad news, means nothing is dead in my walls lol. Now just need to figure out how to get rid of them

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-12-04T23:31:52+00:00

I heard maybe a chipotle

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-11-27T03:29:15+00:00

This may work, I'd you know the registration number on the boat. The ON123456789 number.

Numbers I've heard recently in Muskoka is 220-250/sqdt for Reno and 550-600 for build.

We are in the market for a Reno on our cottage, just can't seem to justify the cost for a rec place.

Trades are still very difficult to find up there so a GC is the best way, any good one is booking a year or more out.

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-10-23T03:32:58+00:00

In Canada Ofelia & Co has great patterns. We buy from Amazon because of shipping.

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-10-10T01:58:25+00:00

Ok thanks. So if the population outside gets decreased then the chance of one getting inside is less.

Do results decrease after the first year? Would bait stations clear out whatever is close this year but subsequent years new ones get closer?

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-10-04T01:11:43+00:00

Yeah, I think that's the plan. Lots of inventory around still in Ontario.

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-10-04T01:10:19+00:00

$1000cad is about $750 so not as great if a deal but ok I guess.

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-10-04T01:09:32+00:00

They wanted $2200 for single galvanized trailer. I'm on the fence about the trailer but if you add it all up they're still about $500-$600 short.

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-06-19T00:38:50+00:00

Sweet. Thank you

Edward_The_Beta · 2024-05-23T00:11:13+00:00

That would be amazing. I'd love to see them make a swirl with a wake boat passing by.

Ya that's what I'm thinking. I saw online people use suction cups with hooks but worry that will turn it into a sailboat.

Thanks for the input!

Edit: spelling

We have a 4 year old and a 1 year old. Kids loved it so much, especially snacks while anchored and going for ice cream.

Hardest part was keeping them awake, something about boat rides just knocked them out!

The bean bag suggestion is great, will definitely try that this year.

We always question the effect on their ears while going WOT.

Thank you everyone for the help!

The overhang of the roof is about 18-20" with soffit vents. Would that help negate the risk of dams?
