I only have my doorbell camera set up so far. Have had very little spare time because I am extremely busy at work. The doorbell camera is a lot of fun, you can be fifty miles away and see the postman delivering the mail to your mailbox.

Got all four of the Eufy products I listed earlier at a good price with the Prime deals. Will post pics once I have it all set up.

After considering all the recommendations, this is what I have settled on 1) Eufy S340 SoloCam 2) Eufy Floodlight Camera E30 3) Eufy Door Bell Camera 4) Eufy Home Base S380 - I might not get this one now unless it comes on sale. I will buy them during the Amazon Prime Days. I am hoping they...

I will be buying four cameras. Does it matter if I mix and match or should they be all from the same manufacturer? I can see one disadvantage to mixing and matching, needing to have more than one app in my phone.

Found a Eufy solar powered camera, seems like a good deal. Has a 4.4 rating...

I cuurently have wired video cameras which display on a dedicated monitor inside my house. Looking to upgrade during Amazon Prime days which is coming up in a week. 1) I need a motion sensor floodlight camera for my back door. It needs to be bright. 2) A solar powered camera which I am going to...

Thanks, Nukeman. That settles it.

Just checked the rose coloured fuse bodies and they have 16 cast into them. The fuse link is thicker on the rose one. It looks like white body = 8 amp and rose body = 16 amp. 16 is an odd number for a fuse but Beetles were using 8 and 16 amp fuses...

The photo is not clear enough to show the 15/8, but it is cast into the white ceramic body.. I don't know if it is a fuse rating (15 amp or 8 amp) or whether it has nothing to do with the fuse link installed on the ceramic body. Which brings up the question - if not the fuse rating, how do you...

I like the tree, gives some separation of the house from the busy street.

The wall is fine, it looks ok.

Poured concrete wall

I cannot get rid of the tree even if I wanted to. The city wants to preserve its trees and requires you to apply for a permit before any tree removal and will refuse to issue the permit unless there was the danger of the tree falling over or some other compelling reason. The poor shape of the...

What can I do to make my front yard a bit more attractive? I am not into gardening and, being busy with work, have no time for it. Some sort of permeable paving? The tree sheds a lot and the paving should not interfere with sweeping up the yard.

I actually have one of the Nutbusters. They do grip well but the jaws don't open wide enough to grip large bell trims. Just like Knipex pliers, once locked on to a pipe, you can apply force to just the top handle to turn the pipe.

No chance of the Milwaukee Smooth Jaws working on conical trims, stuck or even free.

What is this "two hammer trick" you speak of? Are you referring to just hammering on one of the pipe wrenches with a hammer to break the union loose?

These trims are corroded way beyond strap wrenches or rubber belting. The conical shape is what makes it difficult. Strap wrenches work well on cylindrical objects, not so well on cones. If I push down hard on the pipe wrench, it bites on the cone and spins it off.

I have many pipe wrenches, including a 18in straight, 18 in angled, 2 ft and 3 ft, all Ridgids. The Knipex will be used for bell trims on faucets like the one below. When they are stuck on from corrosion, the trim has to grabbed from the bottom and turned. Channellocks will some times slip and...
