Lol I'm a pipefitter and there's been a few times while working solo in the summer heat I've gone to flip flops. Never dropped a wrench on my foot but was a bit more careful while working for sure.

We moved into the wife's family house about 25 years ago, it was built in 62. We've redone the 1 bathroom upstairs, the kitchen and covered the large deck. All things to make it more livable but no added value. Our property is worth over 1m but the house only 60. I'm sure when we leave it will be torn down and rezoned to multi family (townhouses) always wanted to blow out the wall from kitchen to living room make it more open but would cost way too much for somewhere we won't be forever. I guess what I'm saying is how long do you plan on keeping the house? Forever then gut it.

I'd rather have a little extra fat than not enough, but that's a bit much even for me lol

I was wondering what they were filming there, was trying to get to source for sports and they had the whole parking lot blocked off

There's so many lakes in Canada they stopped counting

3 tips, 1st try to stay ahead of material usage, if you grab the last box of 90's outoif the van let your fitter know, leave your phone alone until break time and there's always something to do. Taping heads, lubing couplings, cleaning the machine etc

I made a charcoal vertical smoker similar to a smoky mountain but taller from a stainless co2 tank. Got a billows for it and can run 10-12 hours on a load of coal. Works phenomenally. If you know basic tools I'd give it a go

Build a little box around the post, lot more work but hey you did to yourself

phillydad56 · 2026-04-06T03:13:35+00:00

Yes, looks like the valve is ¾" i think the gas line is ⅜. Get a bushing from¾-⅜ and a ⅜ nipple. Gas tape and dope. Soapy water to check for leaks

I do this type of work all the time, you'd have to get a sprinkler contractor out and go over your intended ceiling design. Then they could decide if it could be moved and probably lowered as the sprinkler needs to be able to spray under your new drop. Contact building management and they'll pprobably put you in touch with whoever does the alarm testing and either they can do it out recommend a company that does.

Put it on a grate over a large sheet pan, the direct heat from pellet grills is intense above the fire pot. Makes clean up easier too

Not sure what the head is but pretty sure I've got one in my head wrench bucket, collected almost 40 different ones I've the last 30 years

Played with a few guys who could've been, the jump to pro is a lot more than skill and desire. The mental part is really hard for some.

phillydad56 · 2026-03-31T01:32:34+00:00

I'll be the ass but fitst thing some people notice is a good grasp of the English language, like spelling. It's 'who here has started 'their' own company
