Re: Need help identifying light bulbs.
I have two objections to large photos ... When the width is too great, I have to scroll to see the whole thing and to read the text on the page. Frequently the file size is too big resulting in long load times and excessive data usage. My browser (Firefox) has the capability of showing "image info" and sometimes I see photos with "width=640" and a file size of greater than 50 Mega-Bytes. 1492's app covers both of the above concerns. In addition it allows you to set a link to the full sized image just in case it is desirable to display more detail. Try it here: Click For Full-Size Image.676Views0likes0CommentsRe: house drapes open or closed while away?
Drapes open or closed - it helps to have a timer with a random program. These Intermatic Night Sentry® timers will do the job very nicely: In wall: Table top: Disclaimer: I was the Chief Test Equipment Engineer at Intermatic when we acquired the Night Sentry Division from Dynascan® in the early 1980s.638Views0likes0CommentsRe: Wire Brush wires left on Grill after Cleaning!

After heating to 350+° the grill is sterile anyway. Just brush the ash off of it with a paper towel soaked in cooking oil just before using.

I have factory installed double pane windows (part of the Arctic package) and they are good to around 0°F. Below that temperature, I use two layers of ¼" bubble wrap with the bubbles against bubbles. This allows light in while providing privacy and insulation.813Views0likes0CommentsRe: Freezer to cold
Now that you have a thermometer as everyone told you you need, the temperature in your freezer should be very close to Zero°F and the temperature in the fridge should be between 33°F and 38°F. BTW - Milk will stay fresh for about 6 weeks when stored at 33°F.514Views0likes0CommentsRe: Sometimes I Think I'm A Hoarder!
I carry more than one hammer: Claw hammer Framing hammer Ball peen hammer Lather's hammer 5 pound sledge hammer (short handle) 12 pound sledge hammer (long handle) Gotta have the right tool for the job. BTW - the Lather's hammer doubles as a hatchet.244Views0likes0CommentsRe: managing those 50 Amp cords

Neoprene (synthetic rubber) is flexible down to -20°F. So If I want to manage it easier , I should look for a Neoprene Cord. .?? Close … As far as I know, there is no one making these cords for RVs. Go to Home Depot or Menard's and buy the Neoprene insulated/jacketed wire and the connectors and make your own cord. The wire is easy to identify; it smells like new tires.320Views0likes0Comments
