    Need a clever gate latch idea-

    These or ones very similar to these. Allows you to open and swing the gate either way as mentioned. Since dogs don’t have opposable thumbs they can’t grab and lift the tabs and swing the gate at the same time. They are pretty strong although a little bulky.

    Drinking water storage ideas.

    All it takes is a tornado in the right place, a hurricane, earthquake, wildfire, etc. The situations happen. It is better to be prepared since given the situation, FEMA and even the local governments may not be able to respond appropriately for several days. No part of this world is safe from...

    Quality explosion proof exhaust fan

    Even with an exhaust fan pushing air from the inside out, you still have air ingress from the outside coming in to replace that which was pushed out. Put some filters on it.

    Quality explosion proof exhaust fan

    Use a fan outside to push fresh air into the garage and then out through an exit vent. This gives you many options on type of fan you can use and it is not in the middle of those flammable vapors.

    Does anyone pay for a monthly home warranty service?

    For somethings it is worth it. They covered an evaporator coil ($1k+) once for me. A few other minor things. I cut them loose after a fiasco over a hot water heater. They wouldn’t let the local guy source a tall narrow unit like the one that went out so I would have had to rip out and...

    Powering a 12v whinch from 120v

    Granted, but those little 7AH and 12AH batteries can put out enough amps to start a V8...but a SLA or starting battery (like what you have in your car/truck would be sufficient. When not being used keeping it on a battery tender should work well.
