  1. because its got a few rock chips that's bothering me, want to get it back to its pristine condition. will be keeping the same color scheme, maybe adding a little chnage
  2. ignition quoted me roughly 1500 to get it wrapped
  3. I called hyde and they would do it for a grand USD and it would take two days or so the others who said they could do it from kijiji quoted 4 grand! f that!
  4. just wondering if anyone knows where to get an aluminum boat repainted? called a couple shops and they said they only do steel (cars and whatnot) can anyone recommend a shop or a guy who is capable and has done this before. thanks
  5. Do any of you keep a record of your fishing year by year I'm just curious how the 2005 flood affected fishing the year after, 2 years after etc Also if you have noticed any similarities after the 2013 flood.
  6. Very nice pics! I was there a few weeks ago for work surveying sections of highway 3. Of course had a visit to bullocks before I flew out. Food was good but super pricey like everything else I'm Yellowknife
  7. I also recommend Mel from Calgary Bow River Shuttles. After Bow river shuttles moved on he filled the gap nicely. super flexible and awesome to deal with
  8. any species not really going for the fish, just to take out the wife and kid on the boat
  9. Hi guys, Wanted to take my drift boat out on a lake with the wife and daughter, something not too far from Calgary, doesn't have to be a big lake nor a lake with many fish. will be using oars to get out or possibly my outboard motor. Any suggestions?
  10. That one is pretty sweet, doesn't work for my work applications though. A negative feature about that drone is that it can't detect objects in front of it. so say its following you while you are biking and you ride though a tree'd patch it will fly itself into whatever objects are in its way
  11. ok guys im outta town at the moment but I will have the drone and want to take some video footage of anyone flyfishing or on a drift. Anyone interested please pm me. I should be back and ready to film September 3 ish. Evenings work best for me if im not fishing instead!
  12. RedBeard, I would prepare to fish the rest of the season without your sage one
  13. Anyone have one of these? Thinking about getting one but would like to know if it would be worth the hefty cost
  14. your architect will work with a structural engineer. everything will need to be stamped byt an engineer. permits you can pull yourself, you pay a general contractor for his time to help, you can probably save yourself 10 gs easy by doing it yourself, if your organized and know something about building you should be find
  15. hey guys u are all awesome, so much helpful tips.. can anyone recommend a good reasonably priced aeration company. thanks everyone
  16. that's a pretty big job, what I would do to save some cost is hire it all out myself. you need an architect for the design, concrete guys for the pad, will need framers, electicians, etc. I have the majority of those contacts if you wanted to piece it all together. can probably help you or guide you along the way to the best of my abilities
  17. I was wanting to pave it all and turn it into a huge driveway so I have more room for boats that I wanna buy. the commander shut that down right quick. apparently we need a lawn so the daughter can play on it, I guess playing on a new boat is nto good enough
  18. Hey Mike, thanks for the advice. For this killex, do you spot spray or your spraying the whole entire lawn? Can anyone recommend a good company to aerate for next year, and how much does this cost normally? when do you guys normally aerate? and I assume that I can topdress right after aerating? also for seeds that you guys mix in with top dress, what kind do you use? I was looking at the scotts turf builder (expensive but I hear nothing but great review of this product) how many often do you guys reseed? I heard that I would need to do this a couple times during the summer to get a nice thick lawn. as for fertilizing. is there a particular mixture and brand that works better (is stronger) than others? Ricinus: I was planning to take a core this week and what I got for materials below the grass. i think ripping everything up and starting new is out of the question and the budget. I thought top dressing adds thickness to the topsoil? thank you guys all th ehelp, next year we should have a FFC lawn off. everyone post pics and see whos got the best lawn.
  19. Hi guys With this bow closure it's given me some time to think about/plan to get my lawn up to par. I want it to be the nicest lawn in the neighbourhood! I just moved into 20 year old home a month ago and now that the interior renos are coming to a close the lawn needs a lot of work. The previous owner was old so didn't really take care of it. It gets sun all day so it has the potential to really look nice. I understand that getting a lawn thicker, greener and without weeds will be a couple year long project. Any advice on a schedule for fertilizing/aeration/topping/overseeding? What should I use for weed control? There is a tonne of them. I saw some at cad tire but seems like it's spot treatment. If I went that route it would take me two days to finish my front yard. There has gotta be an easier way. What kinda fertilizer should I use? I heard that more nitrogen will get my grass that deep green? Also in my back yard I'm getting sprouts from the neighbours tree. I don't know if it's from the roots sprouting or from seed but it's terrible. Is there any way to prevent this? I'm sure there must be someone who's a pro at tending to their lawn. This is the first time I even thought of doing anything more than mowing and edging it so any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys
  20. don't need water restrictions, how am I gonna wash my car?
