It will vary on the silcock like everyone says. if you have an idea of what you want, go to the manufacturer's website and they'll have installation instructions that say how big of a hole you need. I installed a Prier at my brother's house and it required a 1" hole. I bought another model...

I have 2 LED lights over each garage door. I have them on a smart switch that keeps them on from dusk to dawn. I have some outdoor cameras and I realized that if I keep the lights on dusk to dawn, the camera doesn't go into night vision mode and I get full color videos all night long.

I work in telecommunications but more on the commercial side. Take a look at this https://www.fs.com/products/70402.html. Unless you have plans for using up all 6 strands, I would just run a pair of fiber and a pull string for later. If it were my house I would ditch the media converters and...

I am using a ZAP Butler. It is super quiet. Setup was a breeze, I had it up and running in 45 minutes. Measure the distance between the end of the jackshaft and the wall. I was considering the Liftmaster 8500 but there was no way it was going to fit without some modifications. The ZAP is...

I have fixed cellular as a backup connection at my home. I have a phone that it tethered via usb to my ASUS router. If my cable connection goes down, the cellular connection kicks in and when the cable connection comes back up the cellular connection goes back to standby mode. I've done fixed...

+1 for the Toro CCR series for a single stage. I've had a CCR2450 close to 20 years now. I picked up the CCR2000 and CCR3650 on craigslist for the cheap last year. Parts are readily available for these machines. When the machine has trouble cleaning the street, its my queue to get a new...

I got my C2 and C3 as well. The handles are all beat up but the cutting edge looks almost new.

I just checked my ebay account and there are tracking numbers now for the cutters.

Luckily I don't have this problem but a friend of mine took a brown paper bag, filled it with plastic bags and hung it on his house. He said it supposedly kept all the bees away, they seem to see the paper bag as a huge wasps nest and stay away.

I have a few of those sockets. Purchased the sizes I needed separately on ebay. Didn't know they came in a set at the time. I usually just use a regular 3/8" ratchet to loosen the plug and then just use the socket to remove the plug the rest of the way. I like it better than a traditional socket...

I am using the Ubiquiti mFi pieces in my house. It can be a little more complicated than other systems but I feel like you can do more.

At $99 I still think of it as a great deal. That's comes up to $8.25 a month, compared to the $6.58 a month that would equal to the $79 rate. Amazon has movies and shows like netflix, which is $7.99 a month or $96 a year. Granted it doesn't have as big of a selection as netflix but there is...

I have a Hilti PD5 and absolutely love it. Pricey I know but I purchased it when Home Depot was clearing out their in-store hilti and stacked it up with a coupon to score it for $50.

A have installed my fair share of surveillance systems over the past few year and I am just now getting to installing one for my own home. For cable, I only pull cat5 now. If the cameras use POE, I will just crimp on a rj45 and call it a day. For cameras with bnc connector, they make converters...
