We're all wondering here if the snow will ever stop.... Snow fall here since November. Total of 271 cm , nearly 9 feet. Yay Toro snowblower!!!

The L1 vs L2 video I posted earlier was the first that I shot in “opengate” which is a resolution even higher than 4K. This is the ideal scenario where you want to edit for both the typical 4K frame (like you see on your TV), but also in vertical mode for social media. YT limits shorts to 3...

I’m in a similar situation, 1800 sq/ft on 2 upper floors and a basement. Lots of retrofits to the point where air quality was a real issue as we tightened the place up. Been gathering IAQ data from all 3 floors for a few years now. Go with 6” if you can and R8 then step down to the 5” at the...

Ah, the joys of living in "truck town". Washed the car for the last video and found this on the bumper. I was trying to figure out what exactly caused this and my brother correctly?? surmised the culprit. Based on height, 100% a truck likely backed into the car in while parked. You can even...

As a guy who has been wrenching on cars for 40 years or so, I’d be happy to go all EV honestly…but the old Highlander is still nice to have around when there’s a foot of snow on the ground. We got close to a foot over the weekend. Crazy. Fuel here is $1.80 per litre, so for you folks south of...

The video I saw today was the proverbial last straw that tickled this camel's back regarding L1 charging at home. I was compelled to shoot this today. 7 minutes to convince you that charging your EV at home using 110V is not efficient at all...

I got a message back from the Joylit amazon seller and got got the reply that the UL listing was E485696 which after some research points to this manufacturer and what looks like the exact product with a different label: https://coxotech.com/products/12mm-24v-960leds-m-pro-cob-led-strip

That’s what I thought when putting epdm roof membrane under racedeck free flow tiles. Working shop with a hoist...EPDM is still fine. Just a pucker or two due to some brake fluid spills. I think the “right” LVP over a smooth slab is worth testing.

Use a floating LVP tile like the HD lifeproof stuff (waterproof) that has a backing. This will prevent slip. Not sure how well it would do with solvents, brake fluid etc. I did this work table from it after seeing how crazy tough it has been in my basement. It is waterproof and has a 30 mil...

Yes, the best solution I see is a metal box integrating driver where the 120V and low voltage are physically separated by internal metal baffles, and the box has drop outs…but if you need one of these for every 96 watts…that’s expensive.

I'm doing some lighting upgrades so cross posting for reference here in case anyone else wants to replicate the project :) I've been experimenting, researching, and trying out LED strips/lighting for a few months now. The LED strips highlighted in this pic are currently 5000K (to match the 4ft...

After a lot of reading/research, I figure I have answered my own question. To comply to code here in Ontario, Canada with 24 volt lighting, there are a quite a few things to consider: 1. The power source for each channel cannot exceed 96 watts (100 VA) as @cybrdyke has already outlined. 2...

Ok so using the Mean Well LVP-100 ( Ok, so I'm thinking the best option is to split the LED strip in two, and use a 96 watt driver per 8.2 foot section. Given that I need 24 volt, constant voltage, what are you liking for drivers/power supplies? It looks like there is one route with a corded...

Thanks very much for taking the time to look this over. I hear you on the whole Amazon thing..it’s pretty easy to “disappear” when you sell literally via a front. The difficulty in finding UL actual listing was another red flag. I had no idea on the 96watt limit, but I’m assuming that has to...

@Platonic Solid and/or @cybrdyke , I'm doing a YT review of this product specifically for garage lighting, namely the JOYLIT 24V COB LED Strip Lights 5000K Daylight White Dual Row 16.4ft (affiliate link). I could not make sense of the UL listing information which I'm hoping you can critique...

Yes, more today. It's getting old this winter, I'll be honest....we've gotten a ton of snow. On the upside, the sun definitely has that spring intensity, and it's above freezing out there. I'd be happier if I was retired and skiiing though as one of our local hills is 20 minutes away. Today...

My daughter called me at 8 am Saturday morning (ya, it was snowing) with the message that the LEAF EV dashboard was lit up like Christmas, and car was not moving. Now the good news is that a dash lit up with pretty much every warning light points to a pretty simple issue. Many don't realize...

You could likely find that exactly with a strong magnet :)

Nice job on that fix. Bathroom exhaust fans are pretty much essential if you want to reduce mold etc. in the bath. A lot of people never remove that grill either to clean up dust etc! It looks like the drywaller may have covered up a junction box in your ceiling? There should be an access...

Shot a bit in the shop over the weekend. The new tool cart/work table worked exactly as hoped...super happy with that project! This one incorporated the new table, using the studio lights, and is the first I think where everything was shot recorded to external harddrives (from plain old...
