Get it in while the weather is still nice! Been driving a bit around on my 72v scooter recently but that’s nothing like the hog your riding : D

Just remember to tell the guys to leave room if possible for swing stage access 😀 Lol, sometimes those walkways are right in our way to rig stages.

Using the Bosch 18v cordless caulking gun on this project in Stouffville, Ontario. Love this gun, It lays a really nice bead. Hopefully the IG video I attach works here as this is an example of the bead the gun lays before tooling.

HUGE Congratulations @JimDaddyO !!!

Second day on a new project restoring caulking on cap stones of a 5 floor condo. Today I broke my first window :S Temped glass and it just shattered. Have no clue what caused it.. We have to remove the glass from the railing for access under the caps stones.

Especially with the snowblower. Snowblowers in one application don’t work well in others typically.

We have contemplated that a yard tractor may be what we need. Large lawn, more snow, etc.

I think a trailer that sheet goods would fit in, so at least 4 x 8.

Saw on your Youtube that nice new Ford Truck to tow it with!

I always enjoy the high work, it makes the job that much more interesting. Working on the ground like a parking garage has it’s benefits as well! During Winter guys are stoked if they get a Parking garage job.

I’m surprised to see the stack joints on the brick. Was it originally like that?

This weekend was unpacking more stuff and fixing up the place a litte. Weeds had overgrown in the front, bushes were wild…. Back to work tomorrow to do a Tremco Puma membrane application on a parking garage.

Congrats, this sounds great! Your passion for your work is amazing and I can’t wait to see the new shop!

Finally cooling down a little. This was the hottest year that I can remember, AC was in overdrive!

I’m currently working on parking garage membrane repair. Using a Bosch cup grinder with shroud and Blastrac vacuum for silica collection.

I bet you did a great job and didn’t leave 4-5 inch gaps like the doors I have to caulk, lol. I would have asked you some questions on filling in our gaps in the parking garage doors but almost done now. The spray foam they used was reacting to the sealants and causing it to bubble. T…

Moving into a much bigger place this month and decided to store my tool storage at the shop as well. It was a rough ride accepting my loss of my loved one the past 2 years but I’m ready to move forward and am very positive. Having the tools out of my living space will be a huge mental bonus.

Weird, I just replied about the importance of a water test but can’t find the reply now :S

Water tests are our first thing we do. Make sure to water test low and work high. also it could take an hour or longer of constant soaking to start to see the leak.
