It was a while back, I ordered these on Amazon. Of course they are no longer available but there a lot of suitable alternatives. With one of these, I'll get 6 to 9 months of runtime before it needs a recharge. The Arduino will go through its measurements, send data, then go to sleep until the...

Like @slodat , I went with Homeseer a few years back. I use it to integrate my cameras running on BlueIris, and a few Zwave switches in the house. I have a few automations, like controlling the front driveway lights to turn on at dusk and off at 11. And if the driveway camera senses motion...

What a timely post. I've been dealing with pretty much the same issue, but with a different furnace. Its a Frigidaire (Nordyne) 95%.My furnace does pull air in from the outside. Problem started in the fall, and has been intermittent since then. Furnace repair crew who installed it originally...

I bought a used one from a reburb/reseller just over a year ago. Its 10 years old but the acrylic looks brand new. I had a leak when first filling it up, the repair guy said that most leaks occur after a move. I had another leak in the summer that I fixed, it was pretty involved as it was on...

Thanks Zeke! Here's a few more photos of the installed assembly. I tacked it to the side of the table, with the top sitting just under the table surface. I plan to fit a small plate to cover the assembly and extend the table top, and make it look a little more 'finished'. The hitch mount has...

This weekend I got into building the hitch style attachment for the table. With most tables, this would involve welding a heavy piece of tube to one of the table ends, and call it a day. My table has doors on the front, so a vise in the hitch would interfere with the door opening. Plus, the...

I did not know that - thanks. I'll look into adding a gfci breaker to cover all the outlets. Yes, that's the one I have, but its not large enough to cover the drywall gap. There is a link there that has the 'goof' plate so I will look into that one. Thanks again. Thanks, when I replace the...

As the title states, I have several octagon boxes in my garage ceiling that I have converted from a bulb receptacle to a 120v plug in receptacle (for plug in LED lights). The plates I have however, are the galvanized metal ones which only cover the edge of the box, and are too small to cover...

Looking great! are you going to horizontal strap the walls to lay the T&G vertical?

Are there any data caps? That's usually the one limitation if using wifi cameras and wanting to access them away from your property. But most cameras are very flexible in what the camera sends to the internet, and when. Aside from that, there's no reason any of those cameras would not work...

Well, I started with a new grinder disk then switched to a cutoff wheel when I got close. It came off much easier than I thought! Only damage is the one weld in the second photo. Got a little closer into the vise base than I cared for, and when it pried free, it looks like part of the cast edge...

Thanks guys, great advice. I'll give it a go and report back.

Hello GJ, I picked up a metal rolling workbench a few years ago, and its been a great welding table and has lots of storage for my welding stuff. It also has a nice Starret 923 attached to the top of it. I guess to make sure no one ran away with the vise, the PO ran 3 beads along the base to...

hmm i'd be checking from the panel to the unit for loose wire connections.

Hi OP, beautiful kitchen! Not sure, have you looked into Epoxy / polyurethane coatings instead of a penetrating sealer? These are much more durable and spill friendly than the sealers. I used a sealer / wax on my kitchen counters ~10 years ago. I also made a bar top but finished the top in a...

I think this would work, and to help it even more you could also install a water flow restrictor in the shower head. This will limit the overall water demand from the small supply pipe when the shower is on and the toilet is flushed, which in turn will reduce the pressure drop. Of course you...

What's the market like in your area for selling your shed as used? Probably cost prohibitive because of the move, but this way you can start from scratch and build what you really want.

Nice build OP. I grew up with wood fired saunas and have comprimised now with an electric in the house (which I love). I really like the back window in the sauna side, most of the time there's only a very small window and it can be very dark during a daytime sauna. I assume there will be a...

I've used this in the past to paint some bike parts for my son. Great coverage and not splotchy. https://www.tenaquip.com/product/rust-oleum-industrial-choice-1600-system-multi-purpose-enamel-green-aerosol-can-1632830-kq488?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqsHbmLyN-wIVjDizAB1vJAUjEAQYAiABEgLWv_D_BwE

I wonder if you installed a small pressure tank (with an air bladder) in the cabin, would it help maintain pressure?
