    Security measures for your garage

    +1 on keeping the $$ stuff out of view. My $$ tools (bosch, milwaukee, etc) are in a built in cabinet i made with solid core doors (to match the house) wuth a keypad style deadbolt lock. Yeah its all wood construction with a steel angle that the deadbolt penetrates, but all the useful tools to...

    Security Camera layout

    I do. It's a QNAP 4 bay, each loaded with 4TB WD Red drives, (8TB storage with full redundant backup). But honestly, I think i would prefer a dedicated NVR. The NAS has 4 camera licenses included, and I can expand that, but i'm not sure it has the capacity for the frame rate/resolution on a...

    Security Camera layout

    Budget: will $2,500 get it done? I'm not looking to spend crazy $$ to eek out a 5% performance gain but have no problem spending if it's justified. My wife is shopping for Wolf ranges currently so yeah... if it nickles and dimes another $1k I won't lose any sleep over it. I would very much...

    Security Camera layout

    I didn't want to **** up Penright's thread, so starting my own. This house layout seems simple enough, but we have this huge covered front porch and i'm not sure how to approach getting adequate coverage. Not sure I want to dive head first into a blue iris setup, but something with a really...

    I can't find a decent garden hose nozzle.

    That setup looked awesome but they are impossible to find anymore :( I ordered the stainless steel Bon Aire, will report back on how it works. I'll try it on my typical household 1/2" hose bib, and a 1" irrigation line (pre-regulator), fed by a 50' 3/4" hose.

    How to prevent draft from side exit bathroom fan?

    Yup. I recently installed a ducted fan in the attic with (3) 6" ducts going to the ceiling in our master bath. 1 duct in the toilet room, 2 in the main bathroom with the shower/tub, etc. 400cfm and all you hear is a little airflow, fan is suspended (not hard mounted to studs) and is as close...

    I can't find a decent garden hose nozzle.

    Bump :D Anyone who likes the griots "ultimate" nozzle, I discovered they are available under a few different brands, in a billion sizes and features. 3/4" Garden Hose is the smallest size. If you have a 1"+ irrigation line before the pressure regulator, they have some big stuff that will put...

    Picked up a cpuple of these LED usb rechargeable flashlights. Little spendy at $70 but a damn nice light. Loving the M18 mitre saw as well. Crazy thing, when i went to return the first one at HD they only had the saw on the reciept. It came with a second 9.0 battery in another separate...

    Anyone have the m18 mitre saw? Im not so sure i want a tool that big on battery power. HD has the mitre saw with (2) 9.0 batteries for the same price as the 12" bosch axial glide sliding compound saw. Or 10" bosch for $549. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk

    Post tension foundations - What do you think about this design?

    2 or 4 post lift? If you go 4 post then just don't bother bolting it down. My house is post-tension and it's great in most respects but definitely has some shortcomings. The obvious being you need to X-Ray the damn thing if you want to drill a hole in it. :willy_nil Want redesign the kitchen...

    Put on your Engineer Hats and Gather 'Round

    Get in touch with the engineer that originally designed the structure and let them add it on. You're way outside the scope of a safe simple add-on in my opinion. That 30' span will require hanging a big chunk of steel and preferably be supported by steel posts or concrete columns independent of...
