Please gggGary, what is the reason? Is this due to high temperature forming more sulfur acids than a cooler rich flame???
Congratulations DE - a major milestone in a cold climate.
I signed the contract and put down the deposit for my new barn yesterday. Around my area, there are a lot of environmental regs and I have been told that getting through the approval process without a contractor is....unlikely - so I am going to take the easy way on this one.
Cheers, Pete
You know this Pete, but yer old so a reminder can't hurt:
Pictures. We're going to need pictures of the construction of yer new Man Cave.
Very nice sunrise Pete...
Note: A childs toy next to a swimming pool - Be careful. Unless that is your car...
Thanks Paul - we are very pleased and it is so nice and quiet out here although my riding buddies want me to put in a nice 1/2 mile oval around the lot and change all of that.
Does lift that meet building and CCOHS code?Howdy and good afternoon - I hope you are all having a fun day!
Nainie (gramma in Welsh) and I had a ball with two of the daughters in Kitchener and Guelph and the hospitality was superb plus it was great to see our granddaughter again!
The progress on the pole barn has slowed as we wait for approvals from the environuts who have sway over the local area. My contractor is still confident but it may take a while. In the meantime, I investigated the attic of the garage and it is actually about 300 sq.ft.of prime storage. The ceiling is very high however and the access is through one of those hideaway ladders built into the ceiling (you may recall the scene from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation movie where Chevy Chase gets clocked by one of these things).
Anyhow, the other day I went up there and cleaned it all up and in the process,I worked out a cool scheme for an electric winch mounted over the floor “hatchway” - and by golly, I’ve got it nearly done (see photos below). Despite crunching my back again the other day, I have continued to make progress on the garage reno project:
- I got all of the necessary tools and supplies up into the attic to complete the wiring and electric hoist installation;
- I got the threaded black pipe safety railing installed so that the hole in the floor isn’t quite so dangerous (having shamelessly ripped-off the concept from Daughter #3 and her guy who used pipe for the railings in their new home).
Today’s progress:
- got into the wiring and have partially installed a duplex receptacle and a second light fixture up there;
- got the hoist installed on the roof joist;
- made the chain and snap hook rig harness that will attach to the big Rubbermaid totes to the hook on the hoist cable.
This will make getting stuff up and down from the attic a piece of cake - and that will clear much of the floor space in the garage below and allow me to get on with my hobbies. Attached is a video of a test run lifting just a lightweight stool - and it all worked just fine!

Make a stand up platform for the hoist and you can do away with the ladder.
Does lift that meet building and CCOHS code?
To save time I let them both know you want an inspection.
Happy new years Pete.
Any word on the Ontario rally?
I miss sumpin'? You gimped up Pete?Thanks Bob - I’m popping Robaxicets like peanuts and sleeping in my recliner so I’m hopeful that it will calm down.
