    How did you get gigabit for $40/mo? I thought my $70/mo was good...

    The Real Fried Chicken Thread

    I super like Howlin' Rays.  Rooster Republic is kind of in the general ballpark but not as good.

    Mesh Wifi System

    I'm genuinely curious, for those with gigabit and have every room wired, why bother with a mesh network when most of the heavy traffic is on devices that are hard wired (PoE security cameras, computers, Roku, etc).  I don't know if I need a faster download than 300 Mbps on my wireless devices...

    Tesla Model 3

    All great points. Don't discount Chevy either, they have a pretty cool car (but so bizarre looking) at the price point.  I realize they're totally different market segments but I gave some serious thought to driving around in a Bolt instead of the Model 3 for a little bit after test driving...

    Tesla Model 3

    Even if Tesla isn't around, a major player will buy their tech.  That's why I pulled the trigger.  As for build quality it's the best of the American manufacturers by a wide margin and honestly service has been pretty great so far.  There's less complexity in the ICE so there's not much for me...

    How to clean outdoor patio tiles

    I use a leaf blower and blow all the dust off first.  Then from there, I put a film sheet of water and use a giant squeegee like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/Unger-22-in-Moss-Rubber-Floor-Squeegee-with-Polypropylene-961350/203177376 And wring out all the water.  I try to wash it every few...

    Recommendation for security camera installer

    PM me, I have a friend that will install pro sumer grade stuff that goes up to 4K and can do all kinds of fancy image processing on the fly.  Using my DVR I have about 3.5 months of feeds that I can look back on and it only records based upon certain conditions (a threshold is crossed a certain...

    Security Camera Options and Installers?

    I have a friend who consults for security systems using hikvision cameras and I use a 3MP one.  The motion detection is infinitely better than a Ring's and I use an NVR with a RAID 0 (data redundancy) drive to record about 3 weeks worth of data. If anyone's interested, feel free to hit me up or...

    Ants inside house

    Does nobody garden and use diatomaceous earth?  It's great for other bugs too...  And it's OK for human ingestion in most varieties.

    Tankless Water Heater - Annual Maintenance Contractor Recommendation Needed

    This has been a great thread, just curious if any of you are doing this https://youtu.be/8DM0zpuycuw It's basically cleaning the fan/exhaust because bugs get stuck over time.

    Recommendations for landscaping companies

    Like Paris, I can't recommend Sean from Savannascapes enough.  His guys will be done by Saturday and they are top notch.  There was a hiccup (due to the El Dorado stone supplier discontinuing the stone I wanted and not telling us and shorting us on the amount of stone supplied) and we switched...

    Landscaping Recommendations

    Surprised nobody has talked about Sean of Savanascapes.  He's finishing this Friday or Sat for my backyard and I have nothing but good things to say.  He came very competitively priced, used superior materials and was very easy to get a hold of throughout the whole process (the design...

    My Residence 4 is just short of 2800 square feet.  Lot size is around 4500 sq feet, yard is small but the distance to the neighboring houses is decent.  The HOA takes care of the front yard water/plants etc. akkord you'll know it's my house if it looks like a Subaru dealership.  We have two...
