    Bolting Down A Safe

    Yes, it's a gun safe. Specifically a Residential Security Container, not a true high security safe. It weighs about 500 lbs. I realize it is possible to compromise the safe with proper tools. My primary goal of having it is to keep the average thief out as well as young children. I would like...

    Solar LED Path Light

    Can anyone recommend reliable solar LED path lights? The multi-packs on Amazon for 40 bucks seem like they will get the job done, but long term reliability in hot/cold temperatures :dunno: Anyone know of a proven product?
