-28c when we arrived in Griffith, the three Polarii started up no issues.  Two on battery....and mine, old school pull start...I live in Brampton so pull start is the only way:). We went of a little ride today and all systems go for a big ride tomorrow. Conditions good considering it is early season. 

ReneX hope you get that ETEC 800 running. As Johnny said....made in Jamaica.  When are Doo going to put a recoil on those ETEC absolutely retarded....forget the emergency pull cord on clutch bs. Just put a recoil on the motor and suck it up.

I was told the recoils on the 800etecs don’t last long they get rattled to pcs apparently and won’t work when you need them any way ! My 1200 has never not started after sitting in cold crank slow but always fired my bros etec cranked but started and stalled was told it was shitty fuel freezing in injectors ?

Correct. At least it wasn't a piston as I left my tow rope at home.

How many rides do you get from a used Ptek motor? 

Now that you have one in I would say your on borrowed time already !

Soup should know better then running not safe ice !  Lol

Pex is typically spaced based on the ID of the tubing.  If you went 12" spacing you must be using 3/4" tubing.  Thats a good size for a slab but a little big for a subfloor with grout.  I'm not an expert by any means but I have a little experience helping others install infloor heat.  I've laid about 100,000' of tubing over the years.  

I ran fintube in my joists.  Bubblefoil Reflectix and R13 acoustic insulation in every floor joist.   No grout.  Recovery time is instant.  The floors heat up in 5 minutes after the tstat calls for heat.  Fintube is cheap and transfers heat well. It's very unconventional but it fucntions very well.   I am a professional solderer.   Thousands of solder joints and no leaks. 

We would always use 1/2 pex and would run 3 rows spaced at 6” around exterior perimeter and then switch to 12” rows in field and would not run any loop longer then 300 ft before staring a new loop

Got a hypothetical question for anyone from the OFSC.

Say a member club of the OFSC decides it,s got nobody left that wants to run the club, and the present club executive decides to put the clubhouse up for sale, who actually gets the money from the sale ?

And say several members way back when put hundreds of hours each into building the beautiful log clubhouse, and knowing that it was volunteered time, do any of them get re-imbursed for all of the sweat equity they put into building it, and now it,s gone, forever ?

I,m sure, in the near future, as the aging members decide they have had enough, we are going to see more and more of this type of stuff happening. 

Anyone seen this happen somewhere else in Ontario, and know for sure what happens to the money from the sale of the building and the land ?

I know the local clubs don,t own the groomers, so no problem with that going to the OFSC, and re-directed somewhere else.

If said clubhouse was sold while the club still existed then the club fold or threw in the towel the district would then take over said clubs accounts so if said clubhouse money was in there then would in turn get club house money,  but let’s dirty the pool and say the club still operating sells clubhouse and decides to reimburse said volunteers for there time then it would be done.  Once club “folds” all assets would then become districts assets form what I have been told and heard. I have not heard of any clubs owning land but I am not privy to all club matters either !  Some clubhouses are built on land owned by a land owner and in contract to have clubhouse there it either needs removed or said landowner gets ownership of building

we have a heat pump at our cottage and propane furnace. I found the heat pump was a waste of time when it got cold last winter.

it does a great job cooling in summer though.

Exactly why geo is really the best option for our climate and a heat pump with gas furncae is always a pain as you cant run both together cause the gas portion is always upstream of heat pump coil but with a electric the heat pump coil is usually always upstream of electric banks so you can run heat oump then run electric to bump the temperature more coukd never run gas at same time as heat pump 

Adding a heat pump to a an existing air handler should be a relatively easy task asking as air handler is in decent shape,  if you have the land and coin for it Geo would be my option it gives far more heat fro  the heat pump and air source isn't the greatest option for our climate ( to much defrost time)
