Essentially I live in a small townhome and a rash of buglarys have started to happen. The neighbor at the end of my street house was broken into. He now has gotten a buglary alarm from sloman’s sheid with all the services. I am kind of under the impression based on what I’ve heard that the police kind of come real late anyway. I notice you can purchase the diy type of kits. The home monitoring services are real cheap some are 8.95 a month. I was also curious about just doing a camera setup get like 5 cameras and put them all over the place outside and record with a DVR (digital video recorder) in the attic. The cameras are real cheap on ebay. Anybody had any experience with these systems….. Really is it all worth it….

I read that stepper motors from old tape drives or dot-matrix printers are low rpm and good for making wind turbines, but I can’t find either of those for the life of me. Are there any other common household items that would have a suitable motor to use as a wind power generator?

If getting it profesionally done, what is a good price? If doing it myself, what do I need to know that the instructions on the bag won’t tell you?

I am planning my wedding, but don’t have a huge budget to work with. I would like to save money in some areas so that I can put more money towards the bigger necessities. Does anyone have any good suggestions to save money or resources that can point me in the right direction?

HI there, I can use your tips on how you get your house ready for winter, I live in rainy OR where it is just about to turn from over 100 degrees to rain all winter, please tell me what I might need to do . I know I need to clean out gutters and is this true:
___ Close foundation vents. If you have opened your foundation vents for the summer to allow accumulated moisture to escape, now’s the time to close them up again.

We’re somewhat handy around the house. My husband has installed a ceiling fan in the past… Is installing a programmable thermostat doable for the weekend handyman? Any specialized tools or knowledge required? We have a digital thermostat installed already, it’s just not programmable.

I am thinking of buying an old house, but I hate the ugly carpet in the living room. I really would prefer not to have carpet because I have a cat and carpet and hairballs just don’t mix. lol I’m pretty handy around the house for a girl, so I’m open to suggestions for a new floor – even off the wall, tree-hugger stuff. Thanks!
