Sorry to hear about your Dad.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the glues used in plywood. You would get more toxins through your finishes, flooring and upholstery. Many moons ago I was heavily involved in the green building movement that analyzed pretty much everything considered “green” in building materials. We found that...

As mentioned above. I have been playing with this for years. You can use foam core panels to create divider walls etc . I used cut offs from door and window cut outs to construct the base for a seating area. Honeycomb panels can be used to create wet room enclosures, bed platforms etc. I do not...

I have been experimenting with a lot of lightweight alternative sheet goods for cabinet construction. The problem with all of them is the density to retain screws and other hardware. Think about screws that need to hold drawer guides in place. Yes, you could use rivnuts but that requires extra...

As a cabinetmaker by trade, I recommend marine plywood. It’s really not that heavy. You can get 4x8 sheets in many different decors/veneers. My favourite is black walnut. Very durable, stunning grain and not as UV sensitive as Cherry, Birch or Maple. It will allow you to use standard furniture...

There we go again…. Not getting down that rabbit hole this time.

Interesting…. We were invited recently to someone’s home for a meal in the US. Yes, we ate of paper plates! We (all Canadians) were a bit surprised by that. As I said earlier this practice is VERY rare in Canada.

Hey everyone, The last couple of years I noticed an increase in “overlanders” using disposable kitchenware like plates, cups and cutlery. I have been trying to figure out why. Is it because you want to safe water (washing dishes), you forgot your gear at home and picked this stuff up at the...

It’s fully outfitted.

Like every year, the show is getting bigger and bigger. Also some nice improvements like paving of most of the fairgrounds to reduce the dust. One thing that actually blew me away is the amount of Generators running in the camping area. Because everyone is camping so close to each other, the...

Don’t mention the R word! LOL 3 years ago we had snow ….

Almost ready to leave my home base on Vancouver Island to head south to Arizona. Who else going? What are you bringing? Who is coming from where? Can't wait to hang out at the campground with like minded people!

We had the pleasure hosting Chris and Julie for a couple days. True explorers and adventurers! The challenges and difficulties they encountered high up in the Arctic are impressive. Tons of knowledge gained to make EV vehicles better. I have seen videos of them doing some extreme off roading...

Congrats to the new owners!

We love our 2019 transit cab chassis camper. Non eco boost. At times a bit gutless but reliable. Can be serviced anywhere across NA. Try that with a Sprinter and it's sensitive emission system. The MB looks better, hands down. In daily life and operating cost, the transit wins.

We (and our partners across North America) have several VIP customers. It's VERY important for us and hopefully other business owners, to keep things confidential. If you have ever "exposed" yourself on Insta or FB you probably know first hand how rude, selfentiteld and opinionated some people...

I don't blame them being private. Thumbs up!

Will do. I’m away on business but try to remember when I’m back.

The install was pretty simple with the exception that you need roughly 16" of depth to house the ceramic core. I also payed extra attention to "weatherproof" it on a moving vehicle. The electrical also made me scratch my head a bit as I'm not an electrician.... At then I figured it out and...
