New England B.S. Thread

NH has a maple weekend where all the sugar shacks are pretty much open houses. You can get a list online. The problem is that the dates are usually early in the season and they only have the light sap. I have gotten lucky by asking the proprietors if they have any from last years batch.

 

Mostly Grade B gets sold in bulk to companies, for things that say 'made with real maple syrup' on the label.

Of course, it's been renamed, too. Now I think you'd see it under Grade A, Dark Color Strong Flavor or Robust Flavor or something like that.

 

Anyone who has installed an OEM roof rack...did you use silicone during install or installed as is?

 

As is, no issues in the 5 years it's been on there knock on wood

 

I did when installing one on my landcruiser. It fixed a small leak that would come down by the dead pedal in heavy rain.

 

right on...figure there's only 10 holes (?) so a small bead in each should suffice right? shouldn't need any more than that

 

Yes I did. Just a dab in each hole.

 

Any of you guys know anyone that does small carpentry/siding work? Some of the break metal on my house got damaged during the wind yesterday. I don’t have a metal break or a ladder tall enough to fix it myself.

 

I used a light swipe on the threads of the bolts closer to the bolt heads when I installed mine.

 

Anyone know DC Carpentry out of Framingham? Home advisor sent them my way

 

That’s what she said

 

None used and so far no problems.

 

Hey @surfandturf and I know there are a few others. I am out in WMASS and looking for some fluid film on Truck and 4runner. When is the next meet up/how much do you guys usually do them for? Found some people on facebook around here and i was blown away by pricing, one guy wants $400 a car!

 

Drum is like 50 bucks and a sprayer is about 50, probably cheaper. So it annually anyway its be worth the investment to diy.

Wool wax doesn't smell of death by the way

 

How is the mess from application? I picturing oily stuff everywhere. I hate cleaning up from my spray paint guns, so hesitant to get in on this. Wool Wax is actually what I would prefer after reading a few guys on here comments about it.

 

I know he does at least once a year.....fall season. He was asking $40 per vehicle. He does a great job too.

 

Hoping a spring job is coming out soon! I thought I saw a post where he was saying there would be another coming up.

 

Cool. I will watch for it. We could caravan down, if you want.
Thinking maybe I should invest in a compressor and gun for the Berkshire county folk.
Just wish I had the place to do it.
John has the process down.

 

I don't have much for concrete or indoor, but I do have two huge parking lots, I'd be more than happy to host if you apply. We do have one section that is paved and can fit like 3-5 cars. Could rotate onto that. Or just into the dirt and it disappears with a little rain....

 

Had a friend down the road that would hit me up when he was doing his. He has moved out of the area though.
