what did you do around the house today?

[bjstare]

I bought a berm one this fall off amazon. Chose the cheapest option, which for an ~8'x16' was <$200. Came with a squeegee which was nice, since my garage is heated and sealed tighter than a hutterite's asshole, I need to squeegee the melt off out the door. This was the one that I got, which appears to be sold out now, but there's always a few options that I assume all come from the same sweatshop. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0B9RKHTTC?...roduct_details

I got the absorbent "Armour All" brand one from Amazon and it's fine, but recommend adding dehumidifier to garage as well.

Had a busy weekend!

My garburators broke on Friday, so I replaced that on Saturday, then also drilled my granite to add a new water RO system (Black Friday special from Santa to the house).

I built the lady a Coffin for Christmas… just waiting on the hammered iron handles and red velvet for the backing

Looking for garage floor containment mats. Last thread on this was from 2015. Any updates on where to buy from. Berm style or the ones that soak up everything? Thanks

Peavy mart in High river had some, i think 350 for truck size?

[Nufy]

Anyone shop for wire lately ?

I need a bunch pf NMD90 14-2 or 12-2.

Any options other than Home depot / Rona etc for over the counter sales.

I got that one, too. I didn’t realize how much of a pain vacuuming up the water is.

Also, it’ll never lay flat. They come so folded and wrinkled during shipping that you’ll need to tailor your expectations.

I even left it out in the sun for a full day. They also recommend dumping litres of boiling water on it. lol.

Maintenance of them is also a full wash every ~2 weeks to get the dirt off. I’m wondering about the long term quality in a climate like ours.

I can update in a few months see how it’s doing. It is ugly, and a tripping hazard to boot.

[Tik-Tok]

I got mine here, which appears to be identical but cheaper. https://www.vevor.ca/garage-floor-co...p_010893066637

Mine doesn't have a problem laying flat though. You aren't turning your steering wheel on it are you? I also don't wash it every two weeks, lol, it's there to collect the winter crap, I wash it in the spring and tuck it away for summer. Have never tripped on it either.

They sell it by the meter, but what I needed wasn’t in stock.

I didnt do the labour work, but organized calling guy in and watching him work and paying him. Changed out a faded bathroom counter top to builder grade quick and cheapo common and easy off cut small piece new quartz with new sink. For a condo rental, just riding out the wave I read on Beyond condo will be the next boom? And finding that balance still rent seeking for cash flow while not completely looking like a slumlord

To continue with the Home Automation junk I put three new bulbs in my alley fixtures so I can have light out there.

The fixtures are but the bulbs are not. I only have it setup to come on when I need it.

If I need motion sensing I will setup something else.

Im in the process of doing our baby room. Should have paint done this week and hopefully after Christmas will have the flooring done

I found that crackheads on kijiji have the best price. Did my whole garage for half price @Nufy

[TomcoPDR]

New carpets, so nice to roll around on

Bought and assembled this 4x8 ft aluminum trailer to put my sled on.
It folds up, which I love, and tilts.

Added:
- Aluminum decking. Aluminum rivets.
- Sled ski guides.
- Bigger tires with a higher speed rating (originals were 55mph max).
