    Neighbor busts camera

    Was the camera facing her property? I have several outdoor cameras, none facing the neighbors. On a commercial installation that I service we had an outdoor bullet camera #HFW5241E mounted at 12' on a block wall. The building landlord in a drunken state on a ladder with a hammer whaled at it...

    Home Window Tinting and UV Screens

    Andersen is not the problem its the installer that is getting rich. We have a 120" wide x 48" tall bow window. We installed this new in 1984 when we built the home. We used a home window tinting kit that did a great job of reducing the suns rays but the the window looked cloudy when looking out...

    Yes grounding the mask is important. Add a ground clamp to the mask, then run a piece of #12 or #10 solid wire to your existing ground rod for the home. Your not likley to find bare wire under a #8 size so figure in time the insulation on the #12 or #10 THHN ground will will peal off. With a...

    Short mast needed for Ethernet between buildings

    If I was doing this I would be looking at a stick (10ft) of 1.5 heavy wall conduit, RSC. Its galvanized and will handle the stress. I'm going to assume you will be using a figure 8 cable with a messenger support cable? A good electrical supply house can set you up with the right stuff. Conduit...

    Mr. Bunny vs a pair of Fox/Coyote? He lived another day.

    Foxes for sure. I have a ton of squires in our yard, They are constantly eating up the vegetables in the garden, durning the growing season. I started feeding the foxes one or two nights a week, Strangly the squire population has dwindled greatly in recent months. Yes I know feeding the foxes...

    The making of a hard working man

    Good video, loved it. Brought back found memories of my youth. I was city boy, cut lawns in the summer and shoveled snow in the winter. Of course gas was .23 cents a gallon back then too.

    Ring camera captures catalytic converter theft at gunpoint in Bellevue

    My guess is the family of the man crushed under the car will likely sue the car owner saying its the car owners fault he was crushed. Its just the way it works these days.

    Delivery Drivers Are So Lazy (Video)

    Now a days with the employment pool being so shallow the shiping companies are happy to get anyone to just show up for work. On several occasions I have packages at my door for neighbors and my stuff at the neighbors door. I just look at the email confirmation and walk around the neighborhood to...

    UPS Wasn't enough, now I'll never lose camera footage

    Not 100% sure but I was told most home solar will not operate unless the utility voltage is present? On the gen installation I'm not crazy to see the gas line blocking access to the electrical conduit body. Otherwise nice set up we'll being the beer to your place for refrigeration.

    Well That Was Close!

    Hey its not his fault the township placed the sign in the the wrong spot. Locally in our township they added a reminder sign saying a rolling thru a stop will cost you $140.00. Works for me, I always stop now.

    Solar - Who's got it?

    I hope you are looking at a purchased solar systems and not a lease. Some of these deals make it very difficult to sell you home later. Buyer beware there are a lot of shady deals out there.

    Depending on the width of the concrete and your desire to have a cable on the other side it can be done. I recent tunneled two 4" PVC drain pipes under a 48" wide sidewalk. All in all it took us about 2 hours with two of us working at it,. Start with a hole dug about 2' x 2' x 2' deep on each...

    Wow, that is some scary stuff. I'd like to be on the other side of the door with one shotgun shell for em both. Shame on the carpenter that installed the door. The door held up in the frame but not the install.

    Darn, I hate Groundhogs!

    I bagged a few with my have a heart trap. Took em to work with where there is plenty of natural wooded area and no vegetable gardens to raid. Squirrels are another problem for me in the garden. One summer I traped and relocated twenty one to the office. Then last year a hawk moved in the...

    Video Of Blower Being Stolen From My Gardeners Truck

    It would be nice to have the name and address associated with the license plate and post the video on neighbor watch with the address. May have em think twice before the next action. If it was me I be willing to return the goods to have you take it down. Our laws protect the bad guys more than...

    Comment by 'Sparky19053' in media 'Five cat six cables in the three fourths inch conduit'

    That's why electrcians call it PVC, pipe very crowded. You'll play hell if you ever try to replace one line. For the sake of a few bucks use 1 or 1 1/4" and leave a pull line for growth. If you want to follow the NEC use no more that 360 degrees of bends in a run before hitting a junction box...
