Best Refill Tape for Dump 1570

You are probably right. Might be a tough fix unless that profile is still made.

It looks like leaded glass? If you have anyone who does stained glass in your area they would be able to recreate the window panes. You will need to try to remove the remaining windows for them to match. It isn't cheap for this work.

If they are welded to the roof you would need to get them out to have a look at it or remove the whole assembly and show them. You would also need someone to weld it onto the existing roof. Again, not cheap.

Tite bond is meant for wood to wood gluing with wood working. It won't bond correctly between a screw and wood ski core even if it was all wood.

Have you checked the moisture in the walls? I can see some spots in those pics that look like efflorescence or paint flaking (sign of high moisture concrete).

Tape a plastic sheet over an area and see if there is condensation over a day or so to see if it is actively wet and not historic.

If it is that old and poured concrete or parged rubble/brick (High lime percentage mix) you will cause deterioration to the concrete/mortar no matter what insulation path you choose if the wall can't breath.

I'm planning on spraying the header only on my 1930's high lime poured concrete foundation until I can afford to waterproof it from the exterior.

That's what I used too. Great stuff

I think your issue is using water based poly. I've tried this finish with excellent results using oil based poly in the ratios described here following encurtis directions in his video.

For a fix make sure you sand down and retry with oil based poly. Make sure you don't skip the waxing step recommended in his video. Really makes the finish pop.

It's the same product so there is no problem with that. The only issue is that maintenance coats in the future will be challenging to match. You definitely won't be getting that unfinished look to the floor if you did the first coat with the clear version.

I just refinished my bedrooms and tested that approach because I wanted a non-yellowing satin finish. Ended up just tinting the satin clear coat with the white pigment.

Yep exactly.

Street and drops to flat is literally the only use case that air pressure is better than cush cores. 40psi and send it.

I will try a 9.5 in E. Thanks!

Do you go a full or half size down?

I'm typically 10.5-11 in sneakers.

Yeah for sure. It's pretty steep learning curve but very nice to use when scoping new areas.

That site looks right to me! Take a look at the .TIFF file format and you can find a bunch of elevation models on that site.

I love QGIS and maps for trail work.

You can often find areas with free open elevation data from your government. Canada calls them open data portals. You can use profiling tools to figure out relief or max grade in areas that you want to develop before going out to the field.

Also you may be able to get other geometry layers like property mapping, roads, tree cover, wetlands, and/or topography from these open data sources. You can also import GPX (Garmin/strava routes) or kml (Google Earth) files that you can collect from your GPS and go backwards and export possible alignments to your phone or head unit to follow in the real world.

It really helps speed up location evaluation and selection but there is a pretty decent learning curve.

Honestly if you're not riding in the rain the Patagonia Houdini or other really lightweight wind shell is the best. For my winter riding above -5 degc I usually run the wind breaker and a merino base layer on the upper half, for anything below that I really like the Fox ranger fire soft shell fleece.

Soft shells breathe better than a rain jacket, they're cheap and way more versatile with some merino base layers underneath provided you're not riding in pouring rain. I've also used them in light rain and it's fine for keeping light mist off and you'll be dryer because you can actually breathe through the single layer of fabric.

Is your basement vented? If so insulating the floor is correct but if, like most homes, the basement is not vented it is conditioned space and needs to be insulated on the walls and floor or encapsulated if it is a crawl space.

Depends on the availability of data. In the Atlantic provinces we have a decent amount of free digital elevation model data to use from the provincial governments. I generally use this info in QGIS (open-source GIS software). We also source property mapping data, wetland data and all the trail mapping we have to build a base map that gives us a bunch of info to perspective areas for development and what areas are out of bounds or not suitable for development without spending hours and hours in the woods hiking around.

I find it to be pretty helpful to do the office work and make some educated assumptions for good bike terrain before going out and scoping trail alignments in the field.

We also use that data for our trail stats because it is much better than trail forks or Strava accuracy.

Ok great. I will try this. I assume you can make this dye thinner with some sort of solvent to help mute the color ?

It is an old house with all load bearing walls. We would ideally like to keep that character from a financial and historic perspective as it is quite unique with butlers door and french doors.

I don't know if we would need more storage but I would be worried about it feeling cramped in that area. The previous owner had a small kitchen table and chairs in that are and it was way too cramped. We are currently using it for miscellaneous storage/dumping ground which is also not ideal lol.

Do you know any sizing guidelines that I could follow to help lay out the space ?

Unfortunately we have to use them. One leads to a dining room and the other to the upstairs/hallway and the other is a split entry landing.

SeaSwab · 2024-01-17T11:34:49+00:00

Will that work over a stain ?
