    Security camera installation ... suggestions?

    Didnt read all the replies but I'd suggest that whatever you pick, hook up the main power source to a backup battery incase of an outage! Another thing to consider is to have the footage back up to a second source such as a private server (there are "consumer" servers you can buy and set up on...

    Wasp Control

    a few summers ago I noticed wasps flying into our roof from a loose tile. I went to home depot and bought a "wasp spray" and just went crazy inside the hole they were flying in and out of. Havent seen any since that day!

    Drywall thickness

    The wall I want to start on first has plywood walls that I want to replace with Drywall. It would be nice to be able to hammer in hooks anywhere but for me, nailing them into studs are not an issue. Our garage has an open ceiling and we plan on leaving it as is as we use the space for...
