    Anyone have any experience with Tactacam security cameras?

    Our circumstances are very similar to yours. After a lot of research we chose Defender 360. It has worked very well, and would recommend it. We also use their game cams on property not requiring immediate notification, again excellent quality. The monthly service fee is reasonable considering...

    Shop towels sustainability

    Pre soak rags in detergent soap/water in 5 gallon buckets with lids. Put buckets in back of truck and drive around a couple days prior to wash day. I bought a nice washing machine at auction for $5.00 as it was in basement and no one wanted to move it out. Dedicated to shop rags or shop towels...

    What did you do "IN" your garage today?

    Since it was too much of a winter storm in these parts to work outside, I retired to the shop, cleaned off a section of shelf over my work bench, that had accumulated a bunch of **** no longer needed, placed framed photos of my wife, son, daughter, leaving enough space for grand kids. Sometime I...

    Mounting a Vise to a Work bench

    “I would rather not drill holes in it to fit a vise” - but let me show you my amazon shopping list. Sounds like you are seeking validation to spend money on plates that are bolted to the bench. Personally, I have utilized the scrap board or scrap plate with HD C clamps. Never had a issue, we...

    Country flags in garage

    We fly our USA flag from the flagpole out in the driveway. Put it up every morning and take her down every evening. It’s your garage! Folk who are offended by what’s on the walls of my shop just don’t visit much. I am ok with that!

    Help ME make offer on a Dayton 60 gallon

    With its age, I would also be concerned about the tank. Who knows when and how often it was drained. I would pass. To many makes and models available today to chance one that might be ok, or a total waste.

    Lighting problem

    I have been chasing the same problem for some time. I went the route of replacing the ballast units in a couple of the lights, that did seem to help those two lights, but I have found that the problem is related to the degree of humidity in the air. Use of a dehumidifier and more use of AC has...
