    How to run cat 5e outdoor rated cable along a fence?

    I think this is really a case of "what you see is what you get", don't think you have many options other than some type of conduit, or some type of staple. One thing I'd say is be careful about any cables that are low to the ground, or come out of the ground - weedwhackers will do a job on...

    Spray Foam Insulation makes house not able to be sold

    Just keep in mind with spray foam, wiring or plumbing later can get "interesting". I'm not doing it for that very reason.

    Waterproofing camera junction boxes

    I know this is an old thread, but thought I'd post a reply for anyone reading it, looking for a solution. I had the same question and experience as the O.P., I designed a TPU gasket for my installation, and someone here was good (great) enough to 3d print it for me. I am going to try to attach...

    Anyone out there tried these Wago connectors?

    I've used them on several houses doing lighting in ceilings. No problem at all, easy to use, been about 5 years, not had the first problem. They do make you wonder though, as the contacts just kind of "clip on". I'll keep using them, at least until I have a problem.......

    1/4-20 adapter?

    1/4-20 is a pretty common bolt size. Maybe find someone with a welder, have them spot weld it on to something with something substantial that will let you mount it how you like? Use some long bolts through a flange that has the bolt welded to it or something like that?

    Good job on all that! Don't forget to rotate or treat the water though.

    Where did the rifle come from?

    Drop 'em a line, tell them "Hey, the gun turned up!!" If they are like some of my locals, they'll probably say "Well, we can't really do anything about it right now". I've called about several small crimes in progress over the years, and they didn't even respond - dispatcher said they were...

    I'm looking for someone who can print tpu for a gasket "experiment"...

    I have some use for a custom gasket using the PFA130E junction boxes. I wanted to see if there is someone here with a 3d printer who prints TPU, and would be interested in printing a sample / one off so that I can test it, and if it works out make the files available here for other people. I...

    I've gone down the genealogy rabbit hole

    You've probably already been there, but check out findagrave.com With the information, as well as pictures - there is a lot of good information and piecing together you can do too. Also for anyone who cares, Family Treemaker is coming out with a new version soon. I think today is the last day...

    Does the PFA200W work with IPC-T54IR-ZE camera?

    Does the PFA200W work with IPC-T54IR-ZE camera? I'd like to get some sun and rain protection for this camera, and this looks like it might be ideal. Thanks a lot.

    The neighbors who ask....

    Personally, I think the best route with questions is "I'm sorry, but I really can't discuss anything related to my security precautions". It can bite you in the ass in a lot of ways, not just the one that you are experiencing right now.
