New Hot Water Tank.

New Hot Water Tank.

Keep the big cardboard box it came in. Use it for when doing oil changes under the car. That’s what I did. No mess.

[Laffs]

^^^hopefully not because the old one popped?

Top rusted out, looks like the shut off was leaking in to the pipe wrap for a long time and rusted through. Found it during a cleaning, no water on the ground but a hole in the top ain't good. 2 hours from finding the hole to going grabbing a new one at the store and installed and running is my new high score.

[Scrape]

I bought a new daily watch for work. It is a Save the Ocean Special edition with an ion finish. I bought an OEM silicone strap to make things more comfortable as I didn’t want to wear out the ion finishing on the metal strap.

Some sauce for the 4 sp Toploader in the 69. It can be a little crunchy from 1st to 2nd so trying some fresh oil.

David Kee is the go to expert on these Toploader transmissions and suggests staying with Dino oil instead of synthetic.

Was a gift from my MIL because she knew I had a red Mustang

[5.4MarkVIII]

Spendy day this day.

Picked up a used 6.0 Ls motor and transmission for the Jeep project

Motor was located around the corner from Princess auto so also for the Jeep project we picked up a rotisserie (that’s been a long time want)
Also got a new welding rated extension cord.

Wife wants to learn to weld so she got her own welding helmet.

And they have a kit to add a sand blaster attachment to the pressure washer. Gonna give it a try and see how it does compared to just the sandblaster. Would be nice to not have the dust mess.

Oh and some anti vibration pads for the compressor.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Huge thanks to a member for the pm to notify me that the rotisserie that I just bought Sunday came on sale today.

Just got almost $700 back.

[redo75]

No problem, I like "saving" money too.

[xeninworx]

My brother traded in his 2019 Mazda3 for a new CX5 but didn’t like it so he traded that one for the CX50. This is a GT non turbo model. I love the wide body look of this thing! Also love what Mazda does for the turn signals now. They pulse rather than ON/OFF.

Real world problems, with weight loss my sledding clothes no longer fit. At the sled show today with Ross n bought a new jacket, pants n x tra pair of gloves. Love the FXR stuff. If your shopping sledding clothes, Royal Distributing have some spectacular sled show deals on over the weekend.

Got this dash cam back in July during Amazon prime day. It was $200 but with discount and a coupon it was $93. Forward and cabin cam. Cabin cam is to record what’s happening behind me as I didn’t want to put another camera on the back window and run a long ass wire to the front cam. Camera came with a 64gb sd card even though it advertised that it didn’t come with a card. Also uses USB C when it advertised mini USB.

Since my cigarette plug is always on, I didn’t want the cam to drain the battery. So I found a OBD2 power plug that has an on/off switch. When off, only turns on when the car is on. When on, puts the camera in surveillance mode which is great if I leave the car in a parking lot.

Tucked the cable as best I could.

Kicked the ever price increasing rental mig bottle to the curb and bought one locally. Bottle itself was way less than I thought and refills are no where close to what we'd previously paid. Thanks to the folks at BLOWIT in Scarb. If your looking they carry from tiny to huge and yes will refill your bottle.

Got my last bottle at a party supply place, also in Scarborough. Great service and price.

Not too sure on prices since I don't need refills maybe yearly, but the old TCS, now Peavey Mart is closest to me. I get them when on sale.

[ZR]

^ FYI to everyone on battery chargers.
A battery charger and a battery tender (unless charger has auto tender option) are not the same thing. For storage over the winter, battery should be fully charged then put on a tender for the winter. A trickle charger left on over the winter is not your batteries best friend. In the same breath, a tender is not made to charge a dead battery.

[mavrrrick]

Yup…. Bought this for charging, have battery tender for maintaining.

^ Interested to hear how you make out cost wise.

Hoping it won’t be too bad. R50 in the ceiling and R12 in the walls. Two walls are common with the house.

Plan is to keep the garage around 9 or 10 and warm it to 15 on wrenching days. I also have a 15000 btu propane heater I can use to help warm it up.

Of course my first hydro bill might change that plan. Lol

New hybrid furnace/heatpump.

Replaced the 25 y/o A/C and furnace with a new hybrid system, taking advantage of the rebate program.
New outdoor unit is so much quieter. Indoor unit switches to gas if the heatpump can’t keep up.

That's what we got almost 2 years ago. Only been a few times that the gas backup kicked in since then and only in January. The outside unit is below our walkout deck and it's so much quieter out there during the summer versus the central A/C unit it replaced....much more pleasant when using the deck in the summer.

That's what we did at our cottage. We installed the same heat pump, but with ductless headunits indoors. Put the outdoor unit under the cottage. Way quieter, cleaner looking, well protected, etc.

Question about this. Assuming lots of air flow was already a consideration. Shaded unit in summer will cool better and more efficient. Would it not also be true that in winter when the unit is pulling heat from out doors would you not want as much sun exposure as possible?

Not sure if that kind of thermal differential would make a difference with these units?

Nice car, not sure on where value falls though.

[RedSN]

It’s not solar powered, it doesn’t rely on solar radiant heat. In heat mode, the outdoor unit is acting as the evaporator.
There might be some thermal efficiency gained by direct sunlight in the winter, but during the summer, the opposite would be true when it reverses and the outdoor unit in the sun is operating as the condenser. And seeing that the cottage is 3 seasons, I’d rather have the cooling efficiency during the summer.

I’m sure a mechanical engineer could explain it better.

i know its not solar powered. lol but thermal efficacy is a thing with fridges, assumed it might be the same here. since most peoples worry is efficacy in the cold winter figured that might be a factor in the decision to cover. three season use makes perfect sense though.

Roush serialized car or dealer build? Roush cars don't hold value like Saleen's do but generally a good clean serialized car with documentation is worth a few G's more than a similar GT. Documentation is key, otherwise its just a modded GT value wise.

Price also depends on things like mileage/condition/options/etc like any other mustang.

When i pull up the vin it pulls up a GT ... which works wonders when I go to register the car to pay taxes lol
Car's got 88k on it, 2 previous owners, the lady's husband who owned it passed away...we're back and forth with offers and are about $2000 apart.

All Roush cars are VIN'd as GTs. Does it have a Roush serial number under hood and door jamb and does it have paperwork?

Congrats to him! That is awesome to hear. It is actually called graphene coating. It is supposedly more durable than the traditional SiO2 coatings but I personally have not tried it. SiO2 (Aka Ceramic) is next level to a polymer sealant. Durability and resistant to chemicals is improved compared to waxes and sealants. Give it a try.:stickpoke:

Worked great. Our iPhones, 64gb and 128gb, were running out of storage. Didn’t want to upgrade to newer phones with more storage. This USB can hold both pics and vids of our phones.

Really easy to use. Download their app, plug in the device in your phone, pick what you want to transfer and transfer it over. The more you transfer the longer it takes obviously. Then take the device and plug it into your laptop or computer and save on there.

Absolute must mod is to properly silicone the edges. And then run a vacuum to keep a negative pressure in the chamber. Also look into a gravity feed mod too if you have the space underneath. It takes those PA units up a major level in operation and means you can run less sand than in side so you lose less on clean outs.
You can make one with a standard gun and some plumbing parts. I think it was under $100 to do it to my larger PA unit.
