I bought the Ring system to try it out. Today I did a test. I put the range extender in the front of my shop (100 ft away from the base) and then put a sensor on the back door of the shop (150ft +/-) and everything seems to work. I’m actually going to use one of the standard ring door/window...

Is this in addition to their security monitoring? I am under the impression that if you do their security monitoring you get unlimited cameras? (I may be wrong, I will go back and study the fine print)

Less than 100 feet distance between the two. They share the same street address. Mesh wi-fi covers house and workshop and it is hardwired.

Is anyone using a Ring or Simplisafe security system on both your house and detached shop? I'm about to replace my current security system and wanted to incorporate the workshop into the system. Was wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions?

The covered box is right next to the above ground box. I’m pretty sure it is not electrical, as it was put in at the same time and I remember the AT&T guys working in it.

Can anybody recommend a 50m cable on Amazon? I’m searching and not sure exactly what to buy? Please provide a link if you can. Thanks

Good advice. Thank you. Still not sure whether I should use indoor/outdoor or direct-burial in the conduit? Anybody know if this cable would work? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01I2EJWR2/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_fUp7FbEWTH1XV

Need to buy 50m of Fiber to connect garage -Advice Needed I’ve read about every fiber-related thread on here and this what I think I need. Suggestions and advice will be totally appreciated. I’m going to run 1 1/4” gray electrical conduit between he buildings. They are approx 90 feet apart...

This is interesting paint. Where do you buy yours? I bought new shelf wire racks so the actual shelf beams I’m painting shouldn’t take too much of a beating.

Good point. I need to start using the shelves soon, so need them to dry fairly quickly. Anybody ever used the tractor paint and hardener at Tractor Supply? https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/majic-catalyst-hardener-clear-half-1-2-pint

I’m putting these old pallet rack shelves in the new workshop and I want to freshen them up a bit. What’s a good paint that you can brush on and will look pretty good? They’re in okay shape, I’m going to Scotchbrite them and paint. Probably going to paint them black or gray. Could use spray...

Hello, I just put this 600+lb Quincy on a 4x5 concrete slab I had poured behind my workshop. Now I need to shelter it and I wanted to get some ideas. I live in an area where we have brutal summers but pretty mild the rest of the year, so it needs some air ventilation. I would like some...

Hello, I’m having driveways poured this week and started thinking that maybe I should have a small foundation poured for my compressor to put a small shed on the back of my garage. I live in an area where it gets really hot in the summer. It not too cold in the winter. Anybody have photos or...

Hello, During electrical rough-in we ran 6 gauge wire through the back wall of the new workshop to eventually be able to weld outside or power a compressor. (I will probably build a compressor shed on the back of the building) I didn't get a chance to talk to the electricians and they are...
