Hibernating Menace!

This is ridiculous. Page 2: ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWING! four bullet points. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DROWING! five bullet points. ! DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION! seven bullet points (bleeding on to page 3). Oddly, hair dryers are not called outContinue reading “Hibernating Menace!”

HOAs

Want to guess where the HOA boundary ends? To be fair, I also have a beige house.

O Deer

I knew I should have bought a K-bar when they were on sale at Amazon. But, no, I think to myself, I think, “whatever would I use it for?”

Trench First

I highly recommend getting any desired trenching work done before doing anything else to one’s yard. We’re getting our power lines buried because we want a second floor deck. As the power lines exist, they would either take off your head or electrocute you when you walked across the deck. The trench was dug, conduitContinue reading “Trench First”

Alpha Unit – Breezeway

“Unit A” became “Unit Alpha” has become “Alpha Unit”. I’m working on a unit patch, but I suck at digital art, so it’s taking a while. Meanwhile, the breezeway is the next remodeling target. It’s an odd space. It’s the entrance to the house with the screen door a mere 12 feet from the actualContinue reading “Alpha Unit – Breezeway”

Splicing LED Strips

I ordered yet another set of these. This time Bluetooth LED Lights Strips 32.8ft with APP Control, Music Sync Waterproof Flexible RGB Color Changing LED Strips Lights for Bedroom Room,LED Neon Tap. I knew I didn’t want Bluetooth, but that is much cheaper than WiFi and I really wanted the “waterproof” strips to splice intoContinue reading “Splicing LED Strips”

Dinosaur Park

It’s an interesting WPA project on a hill in the middle of town. You cannot go through this hill; you must go around. This leads to a number of strange routes from “here” to “there”. The view from the top is panoramic: The view looking the other way is much the same, the hill beingContinue reading “Dinosaur Park”

Our Fleet Farm has Gagh! How cool is that? The bag is $11.99.

Garage Victory!

At least I’m so declaring. The LED saga continues and the $1000 floor is not all that I would have hoped for that price, but it is ready for use. Judge for yourself. Before and After: It still needs a new door (steel frame, big smoked glass window, keypad entry), a new overhead door (insulated,Continue reading “Garage Victory!”

LED Strips

There must be a “all you need to know” guide out there somewhere. Heck, even Rule 34 postings might be helpful at this point. The biggest problem is that none of this stuff seems to have names or product standards. It’s all just word-salad badly translated from Chinese. I ordered two different products, on purpose,Continue reading “LED Strips”
