Just looking for some advice on setting up a better home network. Currently I have a cable modem which goes to a Linksys wireless router. All of the wired connections are being used and we have two laptops that can access it. It is using the software that came with it. The software is...

Menards has par30 LEDs for $13. I'm not sure about the quality but for that price, I think I'm going to try some. http://www.menards.com/main/lighting-fans/light-bulbs/led/c-7482.htm

I want to thank Cocoontech and CQC for the Christmas present! I've spent the last week reading everything I could on CQC and it's time to get started trying to install the program onto a computer. I've read so much and watched the videos, I'm thoroughly confused but ready to start learning...

What about some kind of light meter? It wouldn't matter what was making the light appear dimmer to the meter (smoke, fog) you would want the light to be brighter. I couldn't find anything that had any kind of output, they all just had an LCd display when I searched for them....

What about a gas water heater? What could happen if that went dry?

I've got a router attachment for my Dremel.... something like that would help keep it square.

What about just leaving the power turned on to the unit? If you locked the outside shut off box, it would make it harder for one to disconnect it w/o consequences.

I saw a similar thing once too. The volunteer fire station in one town was pretty much at the end of the airport runway. We kept finding the door open and kept blaming somebody until it opened once on the fireman during a meeting and they heard the plane and figured it out.

The built in opener in our minivan is touchy. You have to push the button just right and hold it for about second. It's one of those things....once your used to it it's not a problem. The range is also less than the handheld opener, but it is convenient being built in. I also had to...

Sorry, a little off topic, but hopefully useful--- Sliding doors are about the easiest for someone to force open. While it's about the most low tech way to secure anything, putting a stick/dowel rod in the track will keep someone from sliding it open. Some of the doors are designed to be...

You might also consider sealing the hole where the pipe goes out. That's probably how the cold got in to freeze it.

Thats why you need to take the hoses off, to keep from trapping water in the part of the valve exposed to the cold. Sometimes they still freeze though, at least with the water off, the damage is limited to the water left in the line (until spring when you turn the water back on).
