I love helping people with projects and repairs ! My father spent years teaching me to fix everything from houses to cars to computers. He gave me a good beginning. Please let me give you a good beginning. I've had many jobs and much experience. Maybe we can learn together. Thank you dad !
If things get REALLY bad, one could put up a 1/2 wave homemade antenna and ride the skip, talking (or more likely listening) across the state or across the Atlantic. SSB would be better, of course, but even 4 watt CBs can talk for a LIONG ways when the atmospherics are right. 4 watt (or 12) radios are a lot easier to power from a solar charger than a 100 watt monster!
It’s basically a mirror image or a story line but if I may ask why wouldn’t you take the wire and create the whole image of underneath the cabinet? So that you could just trace it?
Sorry for the late reply ! The dip switches are in a black plastic box that are apart from the GENIE main unit. That plastic box is the actual radio receiver and it has the dip switches inside. The dip switches set the code combinations.
@@vincentsfixit2188 Yes! I found it. I was able to program a keypad door opener. The weird thing is, the keypad will only open the door but not close it. Any idea why that is? It's not a deal breaker since I can close the door with the wall mounted button inside the garage.
@@90sNick_Pinesal Not sure why the keypad will open and not close the door. If the keypad is factory original and not an aftermarket model it should send the right codes for opening and closing the door. Maybe double check the model of the keypad ? Or see if there are other settings in the keypad - switches that may need to be set.
You can always attach a small chain to the wood barricade and one of the metal hooks. Or drill a hole in the wood and drill a hole in the metal hook. Put a metal rod through the hole. Now they have to work harder to figure out why they can't pull off the barricade.
Hey man - think outside the box. You can always attach a small chain to the wood barricade and one of the metal hooks. Or drill a hole in the wood and drill a hole in the metal hook. Put a metal rod through the hole. Now they have to work harder to figure out why they can't pull off the barricade. I have other solutions but they may put holes in the person trying to pull off the barricade as well as put holes in the walls and doors.
You learn to make an informal tool or reference. If a sheet of paper is 8 1/2 X 11 inches in size that can be used as an informal ruler to measure the size of an object.
Always think of security as adding layers. The more an intruder needs to do, the less likely an attack will be successful. Even if you are armed, somebody kicking on your door and not able to open it will give you more time to react.
Always think of security as adding layers. The more that an intruder needs to do to break in, the less likely they will be successful. There are plenty of other homes that have weaker security - they will choose to break into those.
The Midland 75-784 is an older handheld CB. If you get one at a good price and it works, I say go for it. Hook up an external magnetic mount antenna on your car to get good range. Or use a small base station antenna when you're at home. If that 75-784 has a microphone jack, you can use an external microphone too. No need to hold the CB , just hold the mic.
Hi there, I have a genie model 850 that looks very similar to yours, though it’s slightly different. I‘ e long ago lost the opener and wondered if I could purchase a universal, but they all talk about “reset” buttons and I’m not seeing one… maybe mines just too old? Still works great with the button by the door… should probably oil the chain though.
Hello, yes consider oiling the chain with a small amount of oil. Too much and it will attract dust and dirt. Please search google for Genie GT90 remote and you will find some online suppliers. I make no money for this referral, but look here for possibly useful information - dooropenersandmore.com/genie-gt90-compatible-visor-remote-control
I apologize for the late reply. I believe the Genie 850 garage door opener is old enough that your much newer Homelink system in your car will not work with it.
Thank you for the question ! I just tried using the BSIDE X1 to detect a live HOT wire (black color) that was located behind two layers of gypsum wallboard (sheet rock) . The X1 on the high sensitivity mode was NOT able to detect the HOT wire. But the X1 was able to detect the same HOT wire at a distance of 1 inch from the right of the HOT terminal on an electrical outlet. The outlet had a plastic faceplate. I tried the same test but on a 220 volt AC outlet for an electric clothes dryer. The outlet faceplate was made of steel. The X1 failed to detect any voltage on the HOT terminal unless I pushed the sensor tip directly into the socket for the HOT terminal. I thought that the higher 220 voltage would be easier to detect. I was wrong. Perhaps the steel faceplate was better at blocking the energy field of the 220 volt hot terminal than the hot terminal of the 120 volt outlet which had a plastic faceplate. So the X1 works fine at detecting voltage on the HOT terminal if you bring the X1 close to it.
Thank you for your review. I just fired up my Blackstone grill recently for the first time. There are so many issues with it that I don’t recommend anyone buy it. First, on a windy day, your grill is basically useless. Only the center heats up. I had placed a plastic container on the side shelf which melted from the wind causing the burner flames to spread, I almost burnt my hand grabbing the container. This grill is intended to be used outdoors but only when there is no wind or if you spend more money buying wind guards which is ridiculous. The air fryer fan makes a loud rattling sound, so loud that it is unbearable and disrespectful towards your neighbours. The hinges on the lids are simply one cheap screw which bends and won’t last. The grill cover which must be purchased separately is heavy duty, however, is at least 1 foot too short and exposes the bottom shelf which quickly fills up under the rain. Why is there no drain holes on the bottom shelf and how cheap is Blackstone for selling you an expensive cover that only goes down half the grill?
Yes water accumulates on the bottom shelf because it is flat and the shelf does not have drain holes. You can buy rolls of clear plastic sheet and tape them or staple them together to make a cover for the griddle. Or find a grill cover that fits. The griddle is ordinary steel. It will rust if exposed to rain or salt air. Because all of these outdoor grills and griddles cost hundreds of dollars, It is best to protect your investment. Protection from rust is important. I shall be posting a video in the near future about rust prevention for outdoor items such as this griddle. Rust prevention is not just about painting !
@@vincentsfixit2188 Thank you Vincent. Such poor conception. I just bought the 28 in air fryer model and haven't seasoned it yet. Very dissapointed with the bottom shelf drainage, also, wind management is non existant for an outdoor product and I assume once you cook supper you need to let it cool overnight before covering it and if it rains then welcome rust.
@@arakafafian I tell you the truth, if the griddle was made of stainless steel, any parts that come in contact with heat and the acids in food will eventually rust or have stain marks. Of course the griddle has only regular mild steel which is absolutely prone to rust. Manufacturers only put a thin coat of paint on outdoor items such as the griddle. It is not worth complaining about the thin paint because all manufacturers do it. The key is to seal parts of the griddle that are likely to rust, therefore limiting rust from occurring. We cannot prevent all rust, but we can limit the amount of rust. I think of the example of a car. The bottom will always have some normal rust but as long as the metal body of the car has no rust then the car will last a long time. I am testing some safe common chemicals that will possibly be in a future video about rust prevention. I do not want to promise more than I can deliver, so I test ideas first.
