    CAT6 direct bury cmx cable - 500' minimum?

    I should add that my main breaker panel for the house will be located in the garage one 16” stud bay from where my Comm cabling will enter via the 1” pvc. I will also be crossing over/above my main service entrance from my xfmr pole to my meter on the shop. That service is nearly 3’ deep in 2”...

    CAT6 direct bury cmx cable - 500' minimum?

    Thanks men. And really appreciate the offer from tyromeo55. Pretty sure I‘ve decided on fiber. A couple folks on here have and are helping me out via PM. How temperature sensitive are the gizmos you connect the fiber to that allows you to transition to the CAT6? Can I make that transition...

    CAT6 direct bury cmx cable - 500' minimum?

    Thanks. Fiber not out of the question but I’d be lost trying to figure out what gear to buy to make it hold hands with the CAT6 once in the house and shop. I am just to the point of getting a little understanding of how this network stuff works, with the connecting of the cable from modem to...

    CAT6 direct bury cmx cable - 500' minimum?

    First time shopper for this and I don't know much about it, but looking for direct bury CAT6. Anything under 500' looks like a terminated length? Custom as they say.... Where can I source a 250' or 100' roll of CAT6 direct bury? Good cable, not junk. Thanks

    metal buildings

    Well they may be, but I'll believe my buddy Steven before I believe google. LOL It very well coud have been that whoever erected his building just refused to install them. Maybe didn't want to go through the hassle or expense of whatever extra was required at that time. But I do distinctly...

    Buying a new Sub Compact Utility Tractor

    I'm here to tell you(and living proof) that a sub compact will piss you off in the woods. MAIN reason - no ground clearance. I have two JD's. 2014 1025R 2009 3520 I have 9 acres, 100' pines and mixed hardwoods, about 2 1/2 acres cleared for house and shop. 600' of rock road. I worked the...

    metal buildings

    Better check with your insurance outfit ... Buddy of mine in Santa Fe, TX built a new 40x60 around 8 yrs ago. I asked him why he didn't have the ridge vents like my shop and he said new code don't allow them anymore. Hurricane / windstorm code.

    Internet and Comm cables from shop to house

    Don’t follow your talk about outbuildings. The video pausing is likely from a sucky ISP. We use fire sticks. What do you mean hard wire is DEAD to end devices ??? I was schooled years ago that a hard wire connection from modem to my compooter or tv will ALWAYS be better. I still maintain...

    Internet and Comm cables from shop to house

    I got no problem doing fiber between shop and house as long as the cable is terminated. I suspect the equipment it connects to may differ from running cat6 end to end. But that is not my question, questions. Thanks

    Internet and Comm cables from shop to house

    Thank you much. It's now game time for the house wiring. Electrician supposed to start this week. What I'm still unclear on is ---- most all of it really. LOL I need a wiring diagram / schematic for dummies. LOL The cat 6 cables I need to run from a central location in the house, which is...

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    Sorry to all for my confusion. I got it straight now. I had a two bulb floodlight on my old shop like BillK mentioned above but it wasn't very reliable for motion detection. Either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. But it was kinda slick how it operated. It had no photocell. Single pole...

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    My bad man. I didn't explain myself right. Another senior moment. My old man always said work through it before ya open your mouth. LOL I pretty much got lost when I started looking at lights and most had all these bells and whistles -- motion sensor & photocell. Thanks, my mistake for...

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    Thanks fellas. Think I got it sorted out with a couple options. Some don’t understand or I didn’t explain it right. I do not want the dusk to dawn to operate every night, probably not use it more than use it. We live in the woods, surrounded by National Forest, there’s bugs, and a lot of them...

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    Sparky! Yeah man, that’s what my simple mind was thinking but don’t know where to look to find a light and SPDT 120v switch all in the same box. I wired my shop but I ain’t wiring this house. 1 switch— Switch position down= off sw position up= on sw position center= photocell

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    please explain how uncomplicated that would be. A switch for on/off, a switch for the relay to energize the photocell, ? :dunno: I ain’t Tommy Edison.

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    Have to read more about a timer, the ones I’ve used in the past required you jack with them too much when you turn them off and on. Im not going to rely on the internet to operate anything of mine when I’m gone. Thanks

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    I did not see if this switch allows the dusk to dawn feature to be turned off and on as needed. ? I want the option to disable the dusk to dawn one day and enable the next day without a bunch of programming. Thanks

    Switched flood lights with on/off/photocell

    No savvy? If you are asking me I don’t want the lights on if it ain’t dark.
