Crackhead checks if my Jeep's doors are locked
A gate with childproof lock would likely be sufficient. He is simply an opportunist. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk- mcapeed

Its not just chip shortage, its a supply shortage of virtually everything :(
All the shortages, going without, lockdowns, high prices and isolation are worth it. This is how governments “protect” us from a pandemic. When it it subsides naturally, they will claim their policies were effective and the right thing to do. Stay tuned for future rights infringements by... -
Yard Work
All my neighbors are terrific. On one side his lawn service leaves about 6’ un mowed each visit. It gets pretty long and ugly. I explained the location of the property line to the lawn crew a few times and the crew changes so it doesn’t get cut. The solution is quite simple, I cut it now. Not...- mcapeed

This "chip" shortage is frustrating
Looking at the video one may think that China is on the attack……then I see the “file” video noted at the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Weather Stations
I agree. Hind sight being 20 20, I wish I bought a Davis. I’ve been thru two Netatmo’s and an Accurite in 6 hrs. Accurite didn’t even last a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Weather Stations
I use a Netatmo weather station. Not as expensive as Davis and not as cheap as accurite. I ran across them when involved with a smart sprinkler controller manufacturer who was dependent on weather data for for water conservation. The indoor unit measures co2 and may have saved my dogs lives... -

Water Pump - Rain barrel solution
All the pumps I deal with are 240 volt with much higher capacity than needed for a rain barrel system. I see lots of Munro pumps doing well. Smallest 120 volt one they make is 3/4 hp and runs about $$350 you search suppliers. Little giant makes decent stuff too. With such limited usage a no... -
Buying bulk cable: where and what brands?
Home Depot caries a decent variety! I bought my cat 6 Smithwire cable there and prices were competitive last December. May be a different story now but worth checking. Had it in stock too so no shipping or waiting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- mcapeed

Neighbor "i didn't break your window"
Be careful out there: In a 2015 report, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) stated that nearly 82,000 people suffered injuries related to lawn mowers and lawn tractors, many of them children. A small dose of common sense ( i.e. do NOT defeat safety guards) goes a long way. If...- mcapeed

Water Pump - Rain barrel solution
Some things to think about: 1) How to turn it on. Switch may be easiest 2) Pressure. You will need at least 45 psi to run sprinkler 3) Centrifugal is better and less prone to failure than diaphragm. And better with dirty water. 4) With sufficient pressure there is no need for tank…..it adds to... -
Weed Eater and Zip Tie's....
Buy a quality commercial grade weed wacker and you won’t have these problems. Line lasts a long time, is cheap and easy to re spool. Also starts by 3rd pull every time. I use Stihl gas powered lawn equip. My blower, edger and weed wacker are all over a dozen years old and they are very... -

May need advice: digging trench for retaining wall. I'm out of ideas other than manual labor
Consider leaving the post in ( cut off above grade) and build your footing over/around them if you can. Otherwise soak them good with a hose and use the suggested mini excavator. You can also use a chain and a jack to pull them. Harbor freight sells the tools and they are cheap vs all the time... -

Low Voltage Lighting for Landscap
I don’t use timer on my outdoor lights, got tired of resetting with the change in daylight hours. The simple solution is a Kasa outdoor wi-fi plug. I set it to come on 30 minutes after sunset and go off 30 minutes before sunrise. You can set it up any way you want. It adjusts daily and I don’t... -
Weather station suggestions
As has been said, you get what you pay for. AcuRite tends to have a short life. Less than a year in my case. I have a NetAtmo weather station and it lasted 6 hrs. They sell different modules for indoor, outdoor, rain, wind etc. The rain gage on my first unit was accurate compared to my... -
Does bacon grease on dog poop really work?
If the person is crazy I’m not sure I would do anything to elicit a negative response from her. Poop in your yard is easy to deal with. Damaging your property or pets is a whole new ballgame. A friendly “hello”, “ cute pooch” and hand her a poop bag and kindly ask her to pick it up. She... -
Pandemic threat? Anyone else concerned?
It’s a matter of trust. Moderna has never created a vaccine. J&J and Pfizer have developed drugs that caused harm and have paid/been fined millions of dollars. They were drugs that went through the full FDA approval process and still caused harm. Covid 19 vaccinations have not been through the... -
Reaction to Shingles vaccine
My grandmother had shingles on her face. Not only was it extremely painful, it looked like somebody took a blow torch to her face. Nerve damage and pain that lasted for almost a year. My understanding is the older one gets, the greater the chance of getting shingles. I need to get the... -

Natural Gas Generators
Actually there was a gas shortage. ERCOT turned off power to the Permian Basin which is a large source of natural gas. If you want reliability propane may be the better choice. During hurricanes I have read about homes losing natural gas. Propane could be vulnerable too but if the tank is... -

Natural Gas Generators
As far as dual fuel portable models go, is there anything quiet and portable beyond the Champion? Looks like the max is around 3,500 watts for the Champion. I like the dual fuel but I don’t like the small gas tank. The plan would be to have a propane tank at home for backup purposes and use... -
Snow in Houston
Not sure where those charts came from but my understanding is an increased demand due to low temps is exceeding a reduced supply due to low temps. Much of the wind power is down due to icing and natural gas prices on the spot market last Friday increased 32,000%......that isn’t a typo. Low...
