    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Continued on my 2-month saga with Blink support on why the cam and doorbell won't record clips on the USB stick. Done a few things again expecting different results. I think the module is bad. Seems to be infected with the Energizer Bunny virus and won't install a Mini2 cam. Miss checking on...

    Shouldnt rat poison be around the outside of the shop? Not in the inside?

    Back in the day: 1950s, we had a fox terrier. In those days there was no garbage collection on the south side of Chicago, so the apts had 55 gal barrels in the ally to put garbage in and burn. Any way I used to take the dog down the line of barrels, lift the barrel and many times a rat would...

    What Would You do? Bathroom Remodel = Hot tub BANG!

    No help for your but brought back memories. Remodeling bath and RnR cast iron tub while adding shower. Myself, my 2 boys and a neighbor carried the tub from the room into the hallway requiring a turn of the tub. Then down the hallway to some 8 or so stairs down to the door. The door was...

    ? Pressure relief valve on outdoor spigot leaking

    strictly speaking you are supposed screw in the set screw so that the backflow preventer cannot be easily removed. But don't tell anybody that I don't do that.

    What wall mount opener are you using on your high lift door?

    My door saga! Enjoy! Kaiser Door in Tucson installed it on 12/11/2023. Worked great. When it closed it seemed to stop momentarily just above the floor then go all the way down. This is one of those occasional failures that has stumped the visiting techs so need engineering support (see...

    I hate mices

    When we lived in northern UT, in fall I would run a trap line of mouse snap traps baited with peanut butter around the house. The house had brick veneer and the gap between bricks at the soffit allowed the mice to get in the attic. We could hear them at night moving around. First tried Dcon...

    Wiring when upgrading from typical garage door opener to direct drive

    For mine we used the ceiling electrical outlet for the LED that comes with the LM. For the control wires we spliced more wires to the ones for the center mount opener and ran them over to the track and then to the opener. Used little wire hangers like this that I had on hand to secure the...

    I have a blink from last black Friday. Blink has 30 day cloud storage but you have to pay after that. But local storage is available using a USB stick inserted in the Sync module. You could not have continuous monitoring (runs on batteries) but would have to take periodic snapshots as needed...

    Insulated Garage door - do I need new springs?

    Or one rod and vice grips. When he installed my LM jackshaft he used the vice grips to hold the shaft in place before removing the rod for another turn. Of course my door had plenty of space above the shaft to rest the grips against.

    Between 705 & 1200 SQ/FT My Wyoming Dream Garage and Shop

    Lived in Kemmerer (where I married my late wife) for a while where they used coal dust instead of sand on the snow-covered roads in town. Also found out that the snow didn't melt, just wears out from blowing back and forth. Nothing like driving at 30 below with frozen shocks or during a ground...
