This is my setup so far!

Things might change in the future but so far, I’m pretty happy with it!

Before anyone says anything I know a lot of the items I got were a bit extra and that cheaper alternatives are available but, this is one “big” tax splurge/birthday present!

I'm going to do my best to keep this up to date as things develop!

Cage/Perches

C&C Outdoor Large Cat Cage Enclosure - 4/5

So far I love this cage! With the set up pictured above, I actually ended up with extra panels to expand further in the future.

This cage offers a lot of versatility and would be great for odd shaped spaces or tight spaces that might require a little bit more creativity!

As far as durability goes, I would say that is pretty average for a C&C cage. With that being said... USE THE ZIP TIES! Or invest in additional wire cage supports or else the first time you move it... it will fall apart!

Pros

Weight - Light weight, easy to move and and tare down!

Price Point - Affordable and way cheaper than traditional bird cages of the same size!

Versatility/Customization - This is a build your own cage set! You can go wild and pretty much do whatever you want!

Add-ons - Because this is a C&C cage there are a lot of options for expansions and a lot of add-ons (ramps, doors, patios, etc) that can be bough!

Cons

Durability - So long as your using extra supports the durability isn't an issues. Without the supports... this is going to fall apart the first time you move it!

Bar Spacing - The bar spacing on this is large! 1.65" (4.1 cm). Because of the bar spacing your going to need to get a 2" Fender Washer in order to attach most standard bird accessories. An easy fix but something to be aware of!

Cleaning - Because this cages relies on joints there are plastic pieces that jut into the cage and run the risk of being pooped on. If they are pooped on... You will have to take apart a large chunk of the cage and remove the joint to clean it... It's a pain in the ass.

Corrugated Plastic Cage Liner Base 3/5

This works just as intended! It keeps what it needs to in and what it needs to out! It can be laid flat, and folded for storage if need be.

Pros

It works! Keeps poop and seed inside!

Cleaning - Easy to wipe down and poop doesn't seem to stick to the surface! Water and weatherproof is also a plus!

Cons

Price Point - I, admittedly, did not do my research before purchasing this base! This could have easily been made for about half the price from a local hardware or craft store with a sheet of Corrugated Plastic and either some hot glue or, if I wanted to get fancy, some Plastic Chicago Screws.

Cleaning - While the outside is easy enough to clean, corrugated plastic is hallow-ish on the insides and is IMPOSSIBLE to clean! To avoid dust build up you can use a length Rubber Edge Trim along the top! Make sure you check the with of your Corrugated Plastic before buying any trim.

Perch 4/5

It's a perch, it do what it do. Nothing super exciting.

Pros

It works as intended!

Cons

The shorter perch was NOT pink, lol. Not important to most people but it is important to notes that its defiantly more orange.

Lining/Hammock - 5/5 (I'm bias because I made them, lol!

The lining is simply two pieces of Anti-Pill Plush Fleece sewn to size! Anit-pill fleece is stain resistant, easy to clean and soft to the touch!

Pros

Price Point - Much cheaper then pre-made linings!

Reusable - Simply wash and reuse! No reoccurring monthly expense for something like puppy pads!

Customizable - Make them any color or all the colors!

Easy to Make - For real! Sewing a full bottom lining takes me about 30 mins from start to finish! If sewing isn't your think you could do it tie blanket style or simply cut a piece of fabric to size and call it good!

Food/Water

3 in 1 Cat Bowl - 5/5

I love this this feeder! Not only is it super cute but, it allows you to lock the bowls in place, preventing them form moving. The angled sides of the bowl also really help to keep seed where it should be! This is super easy to clean and the fact that it has two bowls and a gravity feed water dispenser makes it perfect for pigeons!

Pros

One stop shop - because of the two bowls and the separate water dish this works great for offering see, grit and water all separate!

Bowl Position - This feeder has a star shaped grid in the bottom that allows you to change the position of the bowls. This allows you to turn the bowl so the raised edge is facing the water dish preventing water from getting into your grit and feed!

Cons

Seeds under bowl - Because the bottom of the bowl holder is open if there are seeds under it the bowl becomes difficult to lock into place. Not a big deal but it can be annoying to deal with!

Water riser - The water dish has a white, circle riser that is open in the center. It's not a huge deal, Mango got use to it after his second attempt, and it's totally removable!

Toys/Enrichment

I'll make this part short and sweet, lol!

Mango doesn't care at all about anything but his Brick. Bitches love bricks.

I think i've figured out what my job is now.

i've been at this place for a little over a month and i've got a OK grasp for whats going on. All the other engineers have got one or two big projects that they have been working on for several weeks: large redesigns for existing machines and such.

that is not what im working on. As i am so new, im doing small projects. database is missing pictures. a weld print is bad/ambiguous. a dimension is not called out. A SOP is needed. my 1 bigger project is trying to find a way to fit an airline though a very narrow space, which has been "where in the fuck can i drill a hole and not fuck it up"

what made me see my roll was when someone came up from the floor with a set of prints with red pen on it complaining that they have to modify every part to fit. my boss took it, thanked them, and before they had even made it out the door shouted over to me "hey Lazyeecomet. New project for you. its on the board"

Im the guy they put onto the small low risk projects that need a competent engineer to do them, but they dont want to take away the time from the REAL talent

Example: the plexiglass window kept cracking during install. my job: figure out why the OTHER, smaller plexiglass window does not break and do that for the big one

the small one has rubber washers on it. we cant use them because the screw is smaller. i found the bigger washer on McMaster. i updated the CAD model to include the washer. i made the screw longer so it would work. i ran the prints off for the new part. i told the installers to USE the washer

the installer broke the window anyways. i checked the machine and the metal frame was warped so it was never the bolt head cracking it. it was the bending the entire time. i tell my boss that the frame is so far out of alignment we could fit a washer on the back and be flush and that we should probably have some kind of gasket on the back to fill in the space

he says to put the washers on both sides. i grab longer screws, plonk them down with the installers and tell them the washers go on both sides now, tomorrow i update the CAD and prints again.

but you know what? the day passes really quickly and im learning a lot. with time i may get some bigger projects.

Customer States The Car They Recently Bought Does Not Start

Just Rolled In

0:00 Intro 0:05 "I actually gave a bunch of it to my BG guy to send to their lab for testing and apparently the lab had lost the sample. I suspect the oil was contaminated with something." The technician also mentioned that the customer ended up just scrapping/getting rid of the vehicle as it had a lot of miles on it. 0:25 When the customer installed the LED rock lights using screws, he screwed one underneath the washer fluid reservoir causing it to leak out washer fluid. 0:37 The customer had both rubber pieces/grommets installed on top of the shock when they installed new front shocks. One washer and rubber piece/grommet are supposed to be underneath, and one on top. So when you tighten the nut, it'll hold it in place in the shock tower. 0:44 Belt was incorrectly installed which will cause the water pump to rotate backward. The ribbed part of a serpentine belt should never be directly on a smooth surface of a pulley. 0:56 The technician was never informed on who/what shop installed the new transmission. 1:13 As mentioned the technician thinks that the customer had left the plastic wrap on the fuel pump when they installed it. The technician diagnosed it and just thought it was a bad fuel pump so he removed the old one and found this. 1:26 All of the front-end components on this Astro Van were worn and needed to be replaced. The technician didn't say what the customer ended up doing in regard to their vehicle. 1:38 The customer did not purchase new tires but the technician found a dove behind the front bumper which made his day! He grabbed it and brought it outside. 1:50 The customer's father had screwed screws into the fuel tank when he "repaired" the exhaust. 1:56 Which one do you think it sounds like? 2:12 It needed a valve cover gasket and new plugs/wires. Since it has quite the custom start procedure on this Ford Focus, it's most likely that the customer will install the parts themselves. 2:28 The technician said he could not believe that they wanted that piece of garbage removed. 2:38 No extra info. 2:52 The vehicle has not been back yet to his shop. 3:02 This clip was sent in by a viewer. They didn't mention more information about their vehicle. 3:11 Outro. Thanks for watching!(..)

P.S. What's scarier than knowing that those ICE vehicles are on the road or  knowing that the owners are behind the wheel!? It's good that there are technical inspections in Europe and part of such junk is no longer allowed on the road...

How to Properly Change Your 5W30 Engine Oil: A Step-by-Step Guide

Maintaining your vehicle's engine oil is critical to ensuring its longevity and optimal performance. Properly changing your 5W30 engine oil not only enhances engine efficiency but also prevents wear and tear. Follow this comprehensive guide for a step-by-step approach to changing your engine oil correctly.

What You’ll Need Before Starting

Before getting started, gather the following tools and materials to make the oil-changing process smooth and hassle-free:

5W30 Engine Oil (check your car’s manual for the required quantity)

Oil Filter (ensure compatibility with your vehicle)

Oil Filter Wrench

Socket Wrench or Spanner

Drain Pan

Funnel

Gloves and Safety Goggles

Shop Towels or Rags

Car Jack and Jack Stands or Ramps

Step 1: Prepare Your Vehicle

Park Safely: Ensure the vehicle is parked on a flat surface and engage the parking brake.

Warm the Engine: Start the engine and let it run for 5–10 minutes. Warm oil drains more easily. Turn off the engine before proceeding.

Raise the Vehicle: Use a jack to lift the car and secure it with jack stands. Alternatively, drive the vehicle onto ramps for better access to the underside.

Step 2: Locate the Drain Plug and Oil Filter

Consult Your Owner’s Manual: Find the exact location of the oil drain plug and filter.

Position the Drain Pan: Place the pan directly beneath the drain plug to catch the used oil.

Step 3: Drain the Old Oil

Loosen the Drain Plug: Using a socket wrench, slowly unscrew the drain plug counterclockwise. Be cautious as the oil may be hot.

Allow the Oil to Drain: Let all the old oil drain into the pan. This process may take several minutes.

Remove the Oil Filter: Use an oil filter wrench to unscrew the old filter. Be prepared for additional oil to spill.

Step 4: Replace the Oil Filter

Lubricate the New Filter’s Gasket: Apply a small amount of fresh 5W30 oil to the rubber gasket on the new filter.

Install the New Filter: Screw the filter onto the engine by hand until snug, then tighten it an additional ¾ turn. Avoid over-tightening.

Step 5: Install the Drain Plug

Inspect the Drain Plug: Check for damage and clean it thoroughly. Replace the washer if necessary.

Reinstall the Plug: Securely tighten the drain plug using a socket wrench, but do not over-tighten, as this can strip the threads.

Step 6: Add Fresh 5W30 Engine Oil

Locate the Oil Fill Cap: It’s usually marked with an oil can symbol. Remove the cap.

Pour the Oil: Using a funnel, pour the recommended amount of 5W30 engine oil into the engine.

Check the Level: After adding oil, use the dipstick to check the oil level. Add more if necessary, ensuring not to overfill.

Step 7: Start the Engine and Check for Leaks

Start the Vehicle: Run the engine for a couple of minutes and observe for any oil leaks around the drain plug or oil filter.

Turn Off the Engine: Allow the oil to settle for a few minutes.

Recheck the Oil Level: Use the dipstick to ensure the oil is at the correct level. Add more if needed.

Step 8: Dispose of Used Oil Properly

Transfer the Oil: Pour the used oil from the drain pan into a sealed container.

Recycle the Oil: Take the used oil and filter to a local recycling center or auto shop that accepts oil waste.

Pro Tips for Changing Your 5W30 Engine Oil

Use Quality Oil: Always purchase high-quality 5W30 oil from reputable brands to ensure optimal performance.

Stick to Your Maintenance Schedule: Regular oil changes, as recommended by your vehicle’s manufacturer, are essential.

Inspect While You’re Underneath: Check for leaks or other visible issues with your vehicle while the oil is draining.

How Often Should You Change 5W30 Engine Oil?

The frequency of oil changes depends on factors such as driving conditions, vehicle make, and the type of oil used. Most manufacturers recommend changing oil every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, but always consult your vehicle’s manual for specific guidance.

Why Is Changing Engine Oil Important?

Prevents Engine Wear: Fresh oil reduces friction and protects engine components.

Enhances Fuel Efficiency: Clean oil helps the engine run smoothly, improving fuel economy.

Removes Contaminants: Over time, engine oil accumulates dirt, debris, and sludge that can damage the engine.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-Tightening the Oil Filter: This can damage the gasket and cause leaks.

Using the Wrong Oil Type: Always use oil that meets your vehicle’s specifications.

Neglecting the Oil Level Check: Too much or too little oil can harm the engine.

By following this guide, you can ensure your vehicle runs smoothly and efficiently. Proper oil changes are a critical part of car maintenance, and doing it yourself saves both time and money.

The ultimate guide to a longer washing machine life

In every household comes one of the most essential and important appliances-that is, your washing machine. One saves considerable time, labor, and effort in doing laundry with a washing machine. However, being like any appliance, your washer will definitely have to undergo regular care and attention to ensure longevity and maximum capability. This is the ultimate guide on practical tips and expert advice that will help in extending the lifespan of your washing machine and enable it to run well.

1. Select a suitable place

The most influencing factor to make an impact on the lifespan of your washing machine is going to be the place. There are a few essential points, which have been explained below:

It needs to be supported by a stiff, flat surface so that vibrations caused by operating the machine may not be overly intense.

Moisture seepage: it should be placed in such a location whereby it is moisture-free as high chances of forming rust and interfering with the proper working of interior parts.

The space around: the washing machine must be appropriately ventilated since it will then provide adequate and smooth air currents devoid of overheating.

2. Suitable Detergent

Select the right kind of detergent in order to maintain a healthy washing machine.

HE Detergents-If you have HE washer machines, use HE detergents because normal detergents form too much suds that will eat into your machine gradually.

Do not Overload Detergent: Use the recommended amount of detergent from the manufacturer. Too much detergent can cause residue in the drum and hoses which may lead to clogs and odors.

3. Do Not Overload the Machine

Overloading your washing machine can apply pressure on the motor, drum, and bearings, hence shortening its lifespan. Always follow the guideline from your manufacturer regarding the load capacity. A family with children would definitely require washing machines of higher capacities, in case these appliances are used constantly.

4. Clean the Machine Regularly

Regular cleaning prevents the aggregation of dirt and detergent residue on the interior with mildew; this may sometimes affect the way your washing machine performs. It is cleaned out as follows.

Drum Cleaning- Run an empty hot water cycle with a cup of white vinegar or a particular washing machine cleaner so that it eradicates buildup, odors etc.

Filter cleaning- Always check to clean the lint filter regularly to ensure it is not blocked.

Door Seal: Rub the rubber gasket at the door after every wash to scrape off moisture that could accumulate and cause mold.

5. Check and Replace Hoses

Hoses are part of your washing machine, and broken or old hoses can cause leakages and water damage.

Check regularly: check the hoses for cracks, bulges, or leaks every three months.

Change them after 3-5 years even if they look good

Use High-quality Hoses: They are made from braided stainless steel and can therefore last longer for a long period with added reliability and durability

6. Don't overuse the fabric softener

Too much fabric softener can leave residues in your washing machine and in your clothes. Alternatively, use white vinegar as a natural alternative.

7. Dry the Machine

Excess moisture trapped inside the washing machine can cause mold and unpleasant smells. After every wash:

Let the Door Stand Open: Allow the door or lid of the drum to be open for natural air gush.

Wipe Dry: Clean the drum, door seal, and the detergent dispenser with a clean cloth,

8. Balance Your Load

Too much vibration caused by an unbalanced load can damage the machine. Clothes must be evenly spread in the drum and heavy items such as blankets not washed with lighter garments. Most modern machines have a load-balancing feature, but it is still good practice to spread things properly.

9. Regular Maintenance

Preventative maintenance can significantly extend the life of your washing machine. Some of the essentials include:

Check Loose Parts: Loosen screws and other parts, then tighten them appropriately.

Be watchful on performance: An unusual noise or vibration, and the appearance of error codes, indicates a problem

Service Annually: Schedule for an annual professional service to ensure that the machine remains in the best condition

10. Minimize Short Cycle Runs

Quick cycles are really convenient, but too many cycles overwork the motor of your washing machine. Use quick cycles for clothes when they are almost clean and use full cycles for big or dirty loads.

11. Protect Your Machine from Power Surge

Your washing machine can have a potential electronic component that may be damaged by this power surge, so be all set with this through a power surge protector, or uninterruptible power supply, to continuously protect the home appliance from volt fluctuations.

12. Replace All Worn Out Parts Right Away

If you feel that there is some old or broken part in your washing machine, such as the door seal, belts, or bearings. You should replace it to avoid further damaging the part.

You will get perfect work from original replacement parts.

13. Manufacturer's Instructions

With each new washing machine, a user guide is given with information about special care and usage recommendations. It should be read through to avoid most frequent problems and to keep the appliance running at optimal performance.

14. Quality of water

Water hardness will result in mineral deposit build-up inside your washing machine, and this, naturally, will slowly but surely strip it off its prime functionality. If you live in a region known to have hard water:

Conclusion

Having a good caring attitude towards the washing machine raises its life-span; however if well taken care of and taken care of it will increase money due to consumption in less amounts of repair, or even reduced energy bills. All these really practical tips guide you on how to care for a washing machine, ensuring longevity and better performance. A little maintenance will go a long way in protecting what was invested in or make laundry the least stressful act and if the issues still persists then you need to have a washing machine repairs from technicians . Happy washing!

Know When to Service Your Samsung Washer with These Tell-tale Signs

When your Samsung washing machine starts acting up, it’s easy to overlook the issue or assume that it's just a minor glitch. However, ignoring the warning signs can lead to bigger, more costly problems down the line. Knowing when to service your Samsung washer can save you time, money, and frustration. In this blog post, we’ll highlight the tell-tale signs that your washer needs a service check so you can keep it running smoothly for years to come.

Samsung Washing Machine Service in Coimbatore

1. Unusual Noises During Operation

One of the most common signs that your Samsung washer may need servicing is when it starts making strange noises during its cycle. While it’s normal to hear some sounds while the washer is working, loud, grinding, or banging noises can indicate that something is wrong.

Unusual sounds could be caused by several issues, including:

Loose or damaged parts: Bearings, belts, or other internal components may be worn out or loose.

Clogged pump: A clogged drain pump can cause grinding sounds as the washer struggles to empty water.

Unbalanced load: A washer that is out of balance can produce loud thumping noises as it spins.

If your washer is consistently making strange noises, it’s time to have a technician inspect the machine to prevent further damage.

2. Water Leaks

Water pooling around your Samsung washer after a wash cycle is another major red flag.

Worn-out door seals: Over time, rubber seals and gaskets on the door or drum may degrade, allowing water to escape.

Loose hoses: If the water supply or drain hoses are loose or cracked, they could be causing leaks during the cycle.

Clogged drain pump: A clogged pump can also lead to water backing up and leaking out of the washer.

If you notice water leaking around your washer, it’s crucial to turn off the appliance and disconnect it from the power and water sources immediately. Leaving it in operation could cause water damage to the surrounding area and the washer itself. A technician can assess the cause of the leak and replace or repair the affected parts.

3. Washer Fails to Start or Complete a Cycle

If your Samsung washer isn’t starting or completing its cycles, it’s a strong indication that something is wrong. The most common causes of this issue include:

Power supply issues: Check if the washer is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn’t been tripped. If everything looks fine and the washer still doesn’t start, the issue may be internal.

Faulty door latch: Samsung washers are equipped with a door latch that prevents the machine from starting if it’s not securely closed. If this latch is malfunctioning, the washer won’t operate.

Defective control board: A malfunctioning control board may cause the washer to get stuck in one cycle or fail to start altogether.

If your washer won’t start or complete its cycle, a technician will need to perform a diagnostic check to pinpoint the issue and restore proper functionality.

4. Clothes Not Getting Clean

If you’ve noticed that your clothes are coming out of the washer still dirty, there may be an issue with the washer’s cleaning mechanism. Some possible causes include:

Clogged detergent dispenser: A clogged dispenser can prevent detergent from being distributed evenly during the wash cycle, leaving your clothes dirty.

Overloading the washer: Putting too many clothes in the washer can prevent proper agitation and spinning, leaving clothes improperly cleaned.

Faulty agitator or drum: If the agitator (the part that helps move clothes around during washing) is broken or not functioning properly, it can prevent your clothes from getting clean.

If the problem persists after you’ve tried adjusting the load size and detergent use, it’s time to call in a professional to inspect the washer.

5. Washer Shakes or Vibrates Excessively

Excessive shaking or vibrating during the spin cycle is a sign that your Samsung washer may need service. Some reasons for this include:

Unbalanced load: If your washer is off-balance due to an uneven load, it may shake and vibrate more than usual.

Damaged shock absorbers or suspension springs: These components are designed to absorb the vibrations and keep the washer stable during operation. If they’re broken, the washer may shake uncontrollably.

Uneven floor surface: A washer placed on an uneven surface may not sit properly, causing it to vibrate during the spin cycle.

If the excessive shaking persists even after adjusting the load, it’s a good idea to have a technician check for worn-out shock absorbers or other underlying issues.

6. Error Codes Displaying on the Screen

Samsung washers are equipped with error codes to alert you of specific issues. These codes can be helpful in diagnosing the problem. If you notice an error code on your washer’s display, refer to your user manual or look up the code online to identify the issue.

Some common Samsung washer error codes include:

UE or unbalanced load error: This code typically appears when the washer detects an unbalanced load.

LC or leakage error: This error indicates that water has leaked from the washer.

4E or water supply error: This code means that the washer is having trouble filling with water.

If you see an error code, it’s best to consult with a technician, especially if the issue isn’t easily fixable on your own.

7. Strong Odors or Mildew Smell

A strong, unpleasant odor or mildew smell coming from your Samsung washer is a sign that there is mold or mildew buildup inside the drum or other components. This can occur when the washer is not properly dried out or if there’s a buildup of detergent and debris in the drum or hoses.

To resolve this issue, try running a cleaning cycle using a washer cleaner or a vinegar solution. If the smell persists or is accompanied by visible mold or mildew, a professional cleaning may be necessary to thoroughly clean the internal components of the washer.

Conclusion

Your Samsung washer is an essential appliance that can make laundry day much easier, but it’s not immune to wear and tear. If you notice any of these tell-tale signs—unusual noises, water leaks, failure to start, dirty clothes, excessive shaking, error codes, or strong odors—it’s time to call in a professional to service your washer. Taking action early can help prevent more serious issues down the line, ensuring that your washer runs efficiently for years to come.

Remember, regular maintenance and prompt repairs are key to keeping your Samsung washer in top condition. Don't wait until the problem becomes worse—take action as soon as you spot any of these signs!

How to Find Winter-Ready Used Cars for Sale in Ontario

Looking for a car that can handle Ontario's snowy roads and icy temperatures? Finding a winter-ready used car doesn’t have to feel like a daunting task. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a first-time buyer, these tips will make the search easier and maybe even a little fun. So grab a coffee, bundle up, and let’s dive into how to find the perfect winter-ready used car for your needs. And if you're in the area, make sure to visit a trusted used car dealer in Hamilton to kickstart your journey.

1. Look for Cars with All-Wheel or Four-Wheel Drive

When it comes to winter roads, all-wheel drive (AWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD) are game-changers. These systems provide better traction and stability on slippery surfaces, making them ideal for Ontario’s snowy conditions. While test-driving, ask about the car’s drivetrain to see if it meets your needs. Many SUVs and crossovers come with AWD as a standard or optional feature, so prioritize these vehicles for winter readiness.

Pro Tip: Don’t just rely on the label. Make sure to test the AWD or 4WD system to ensure it’s in good working condition.

2. Check for Winter Tires

A car isn’t truly winter-ready without proper tires. Winter tires have special tread designs and rubber compounds that stay flexible in freezing temperatures, giving you better control on snowy and icy roads.

If the car doesn’t already come with winter tires, use this as a bargaining chip. Many sellers or dealers are willing to throw in a set of winter tires to sweeten the deal—especially if you’re buying from a used car dealer in Hamilton who understands the local weather challenges.

Pro Tip: Check the tire tread depth and condition to ensure they’ll last through the season.

3. Opt for Heated Features

When it’s minus 20 degrees outside, heated seats can feel like the greatest invention ever. Heated steering wheels, mirrors, and even windshield wipers can make winter driving much more comfortable. These features are often overlooked when shopping for a used car, but they’re a lifesaver during Ontario’s cold months.

If you’re buying from a dealership, don’t hesitate to ask about these upgrades or look for models that already have them installed.

4. Consider Remote Start

Picture this: You wake up on a freezing morning, and instead of sitting in an icebox, your car is already warm and toasty. Remote start isn’t just a luxury; it’s practically a necessity in Ontario winters. Many newer used cars come equipped with this feature, but if it’s not included, ask if the dealer can install it for you.

Pro Tip: Double-check the remote start system to ensure it works reliably before making your purchase.

5. Research Vehicle History Reports

A vehicle’s past can tell you a lot about its future. Request a vehicle history report to check for signs of neglect or damage, especially rust—a common issue in Ontario due to road salt. Look for cars that have been well-maintained and regularly serviced, as they’re more likely to handle winter conditions without hiccups.

Pro Tip: Buying from a reputable used car dealer in Cambridge often comes with the bonus of certified pre-owned options, which usually include detailed inspection reports.

Test the Battery and Fluids

Cold weather can wreak havoc on car batteries, so make sure to test the battery during your inspection. Look for signs of wear or corrosion and ask about its age. A battery older than three years might not survive the winter without issues.

Also, check the car’s fluids—especially antifreeze and windshield washer fluid. A winter-ready car should have fluids that can withstand freezing temperatures. If anything seems off, bring it up with the dealer or seller.

Think About Storage Space

Winter driving often means lugging around extra gear—snow brushes, emergency kits, and maybe even skis or snowboards. Make sure the car you choose has enough storage space to accommodate all your winter essentials. SUVs and crossovers typically shine in this department, but even some sedans have spacious trunks that can get the job done.

Can you install metal roofing directly on plywood?

Yes, metal roofing in aurora can be installed directly on plywood, but there are essential steps to ensure a durable and functional roof. Here's what you need to know:

1. Prepare the Plywood

Check for Condition: Ensure the plywood is in good condition—free of rot, warping, or damage.

Thickness: Use at least 5/8-inch thick plywood for adequate support.

Clean Surface: Remove debris and ensure the surface is dry and clean.

2. Add a Moisture Barrier

Install Underlayment: A waterproof underlayment, such as synthetic roofing underlayment or felt paper, is critical. It provides a layer of moisture protection between the metal roof and the plywood.

Overlap Layers: Overlap each row of underlayment to prevent water seepage.

3. Use Furring Strips (Optional)

Enhance Ventilation: While not mandatory, attaching furring strips (wood or metal battens) between the plywood and the metal roofing can create an air gap. This improves ventilation and prevents condensation, which can damage the plywood over time.

Secure Strips: Attach strips perpendicular to the roof slope using appropriate screws.

4. Install the Metal Panels

Fasten Securely: Use screws designed for metal roofing with rubber washers to ensure a tight seal.

Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Align and fasten panels according to the manufacturer’s specifications for overlap and screw placement.

Seal Edges: Use metal flashing and closures to seal edges and joints.
