You're a better man than I, Gunga Din. Keep us posted on how it works.

Smart Watering is based on things like soil type, sun exposure, vegetation, slope, etc. These are parameters you input. I couldn't/didn't want to answer the questions so I just set the thing up like any other timer. I might revisit this feature. Weather Sense just receives local weather info...

I'm pretty sure that 30amp surge protector you linked is 110v. RV 240v is 50 amp and will have 4 connectors.

Perhaps this LINKY

I'm old. Don't mind me.

OK. That's what the "DJ" stands for. Duh.

When my daughter was in elementary school, the battle back then was because of D'Nealian Handwriting. Not nearly as dumb as that New Math video shit, I still believe the real reason for introducing it to kids was to drive a wedge between children and their parents. There was an argument every...

Yeah, that one. I'd have bought it but it wasn't available when I bought mine last year. I tried to do the smart water programming but it was just too tedious and I really didn't know the answers to some of the questions it was asking about soil type and drainage, so as long as I was just...

RIP Richard Cole, Last WWII Doolittle Raider, Dies in Texas Retired Lt. Col. Richard "Dick" Cole, the last of the 80 Doolittle Tokyo Raiders who carried out the daring U.S. attack on Japan during World War II, died Tuesday at a military hospital in Texas. He was 103. The Raiders launched...

I have the 12 station Orbit B-Hyve, the indoor/outdoor version like in your link. They now have an indoor only version that has no knobs or buttons. It's just a smooth white flat hunk of plastic. The reason I mention that is because I have never used the knob/buttons on mine. It's just so much...

How do you keep from kneeing yourself in the chin when you pedal?

Good luck getting that through the door.

Also, neither thinset or grout is waterproof.

Get a roofer and make sure he is licensed and insured. When that handyman falls off your roof, he will own you.

Edit:to add quote.

Little automotive lightbulbs are 12v. U GUN DIE.

Maybe I missed it, but why are you removing the insulation and why couldn't it have been vacuumed out instead?

Get one of these to remove the hair in your drain. Your septic is probably OK. Really, just be aware of what you send down the drain. No feminine hygiene stuff, no anti-biotics, try not to use too much bleach. If the system is sized properly you should be fine. I personally think those products...

In AZ I have a neighbor lady that used to complain that her water heater didn't work as well in the winter. She based this on the fact that in winter she had to turn the shower handle farther in the hot direction than she would in the summer months to achieve the same useable setting. What...

I used to watch Forensic Files on Netflix at night while in bed just to fall asleep. They have like 7-8 seasons and it's just mindless doze off material but by the end of season 2 you've figured out the plot for every episode that involves a dead wife. The husband did it. Whether he hired...

Another $30 will get you 2 new thermostats. Don't forget the anode rod, if you have/need one.

Saw it today. I'm kind of a WW1 buff and I thought going in, a 99 minute film isn't going to work. I was wrong. That's why Peter Jackson gets the big bucks. It's not about the whole war. It's about the experience of a British infantry soldier and as he explains, that soldier could have been...

That's a pretty valuable pistol to be using as a hammer.

^This. Pretty normal.

^Thank you for rescuing that guy from those cruel little bowls they keep them in.

I've peed in a wetsuit.

I haven't looked in a while, but once upon a time they used to sell weighs to wrap around air line to help hold it down. I used to try to use objects like rocks or rocking sunken ships to hold airline. Suction cups work great for a while. Then invariably they get brittle and fail. They are my...

I had a hard disk fail a couple of years ago. It held the photos of a trip my family took to the British Isles for my daughter's HS graduation. There was a bunch of other stuff on it too, but those were really important and likely lost forever. I was especially bummed now because I got a new...

Did you take a finger census when he stopped?

Booby traps are a big enough deal around here that there was a story on the local radio station yesterday where the Chief of Police said please don't do it because you might be liable if someone gets hurt.

I think a chopsaw would be better for shelving or crown molding. Lots of cross cutting when doing those projects. That’s what chop saws do best.

I'll see that and raise you one.

Removing the texture is hard after it has been painted, which it most likely has. You can try applying more with a large 10" or greater knife in thin skim coats each one filling the valleys a little more each time. Stop when you get to a point you like. Use drywall mud (joint compound) and thin...

My plumbing is pex. But this is an issue with any kind of pipe material.

If the shower runs are not too long you might benefit by doing the sink(s). Hard to say. On the other hand, drywall is easy to repair. Cut your hole with an oscillating tool and the section will slip right back in. Just a little mud and paint and you're done. I also don't think going tankless...

I'm thinking it wouldn't work as well as it does on a trunk line system like in my house but it would work. You would be pumping hot water to the manifold and on to the fixture that had the valve. I don't think the individual long runs to other fixtures would benefit beyond having hot water in...
