ShelterLogic 6x6x6.5 E Series Shed (Gray) Review

ShelterLogic 6x6x6.5 E Series Shed (Gray)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased the Shed In A Box to use in astronomy. I tried several tents and none worked well. Then I discovered Shed In A Box and decided to give it a try. It was a good move. Shed In A Box is made of steel pipes that all fit together easily and they stay that way even when moved. The covering is made of thick and strong plastic that so far has weathered heavy rains and wind. The only problem I see when using this as just a shed to store equipment is that rain can run under the bottom edges and get the ground wet underneath the stored equipment. But in most cases this is not a problem. My use for my Shed In A box is in astronomy. It is just the right size for one person to move. With it fully assembled I can pick it up and move it to where I want. It does a great job protecting me from the elements. When it is very cold I go inside and with my Heater Buddy I am warm and cozy. My telescope is just outside the enclosure with cables running between the two. Shed in a box is easy to assembly. I assembled the whole thing in about 2 hours. Since I move the enclosure each time I observe I had to make some modifications. I added braces across the bottom of both the front and back to maintain the correct size and to make it more rigid. To make it more air tight I modified the way the covering is attached. I am also adding a window in the front so I can see the movement of my telescope when I am inside. This enclosure was designed to be in fixed position with stakes in the ground. But using it as an astronomical hut works great. I can walk into the enclosure and stand up without hitting my head. I am 5 foot 11 inches tall. It will accommodate two observers with their equipment very comfortable. Since I am not using Shed In A Box as it was intended I lowered the rating to 4 because there were modification I had to make to suite my needs. As for using it as a shed to store equipment like lawn mowers, I would give it 5 stars. I also talked to customer service at ShelterLogic and they were quick and very helpful. If you need is just to store garden equipment this is a great choice. In my case the use is different and with some modification it is a great choice for astronomy observing. It is a great buy.

Pet Protector Cord, Clear, Medium Review

I just got these and wheeeew they smell AWFUL! I don't know where they came up with "citrus scent" because it's more like burnt macaroni fart. After I bought them on sale for $11+ I went to Ace hardware to get some electrical tape to fix already nibbled cords and found the same product for $5.99... well, it's not the same since it's black or white and hard plastic instead of clear tube, but it serves the same purpose, won't get bitten through, and doesn't smell like grossness. I have kept one roll (of four) to try but I will return the rest. I feel woozy.

This lampholder dimmer is great. It can be used to replace standard and 3-way lampholder sockets on vitually any table lamp. I doesn't want to be used facing down, only up. It is a simple two-wire conversion. If you know which end of the screwdirver to hold you can convert your lamps to be "infinitely" variable - from very dim to full bright. It will support up to 150 watt incandescent 120-volt bulbs with standard base.

Intermatic WH40 Electric Water Heater Timer, Grey Review

Intermatic WH40 Electric Water Heater Timer, Grey
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Easy to put on a wall, easy to hook up, doesn't make a sound. Important, when you take the insides out to mount, this is done by depressing the spring clip on top, and lift and pull out. Reassembly is reverse, but you have to make sure the side/bottom edges are behind the stops. If your not back and down all the way, the insides will seem loose and the timer will/could make noise, has you may read about in other reviews.
Our timer has not been mounted and running long enough to figure the savings, ours is set to run two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. Our water heater, stays hot all day, every time we use water we got hot water all day and night when it is off mode. I am sure this will show great savings!!

I 4 of these latches installed around out stable. I also have 5 of the Speeco style latches. These ring style ones work, but most of the time if you swing the gate closed, it bounces back open, the Speeco never do this. With the ring style I have to make sure I close it with my hand on it to be sure it latches before the bounce back.
Also this ring style requires you to drill holes in the gate.

Reliance Controls PB30 L14-30 30 Amp Generator Power Cord Inlet Box For Up To 7,500 Watt Generators Review

Reliance Controls PB30 L14-30 30 Amp Generator Power Cord Inlet Box For Up To 7,500 Watt Generators

Reliance Controls PB30 L14-30 30 Amp Generator Power Cord Inlet Box
Product Review:
This Reliance Power Inlet Box is excellent quality. It has easily removable knockouts on the back and sides; ½" or 3/4". Since it was to be mounted on a cinder-block wall, I used PVC conduit from the back of the box through the wall, and ran 10/3 (w/ground) from the Inlet Box to a 30-amp 240 volt receptacle on the home's interior. (See Customer Images.)
Three Tapcon 3/16" x 1 3/4" masonry screws securely attach the box to a cinder block wall. Once mounted, there is a 1/8" air gap between the back of the box and the wall; that air gap allows the unit to dry-out after rain. The gap also allows the cover assembly to be easily slipped over the box frame and be secured with the single stainless steel screw shown in the photo. Do NOT caulk where the box meets the wall or the cover won't be removable. DO caulk where the wire or conduit goes through the wall, to prevent insect and water infiltration.
The unit's screw-down wiring connectors tightly hold 10-gage (or 8-gage) wires.
The integral hinged receptacle door acts as a rain guard when the receptacle is in use, and when it isn't, seals the inside from weather, bugs, and dirt.
Excellent product!Product Use:
Consumers typically use portable generators to power their homes in one of three ways.
1. The least expensive and most common method is to simply run long extension cords through open windows or doors directly to where power is needed inside the home.
2. The best (and costliest) approach is to connect the generator's output power to a "transfer switch"; a device that switches electrical circuits between main power (i.e., from a utility company) and a backup generator. These switches can be automatic, monitoring incoming power from the utility and switching to a backup when the utility power goes out, or manual which requires you to physically make the changeover. Whole-house permanently installed (e.g., natural gas) generators utilize automatic switches, while portable gasoline-powered generators commonly employ a manual cut-over switch. This Power Cord Inlet Box is often used with a manual transfer switch.
3. An intermediate approach avoids running cords through windows or doors and the high cost of installing a transfer switch. It requires one or more 110v and/or 240v Power Inlet Boxes mounted on the dwelling's exterior, directly wired through the wall to receptacles in the dwelling's interior, with no connection to house wiring. From those interior (generator-powered) receptacles, extension cords go where the power is needed.
I chose the intermediate approach.
During a power outage, our generator is wheeled into place and three cords are run from the generator to the house, as follows. Takes under 10 minutes to set up.
- A 30-Amp L14-30 240v Generator Power Cord connects to a Reliance Controls PB30 L14-30 30 Amp Generator Power Cord Inlet Box (product being reviewed)
- Two 20-amp (12-gage) 120v cords connect to Leviton 5278-CWP 120v Power Inlet Receptacles
- A grounding cord is connected.

I purchased this product to use primarily at home and when traveling. Even when staying at 5 star hotels there always seems to be one mosiquito in the room. This net works great, but the only drawback is that it acts as an insulator. You might have to sleep with the AC on if you are in a hot humid climate. I have never been bitten when using the net tent;)

Got this pump when they installed our pool in 2000. Pump still works but the coating on electrical cord on top of pump is coming off and a safety issue. I was curious about the reviews that said their pump lasted a winter. We use several pumps for our construction company & no pump will last if it is allowed to freeze. These pumps are meant to be placed in the water & cover pumped off & then pump taken out. That is how we used ours in the winter & as I stated it lasted 8 years.

Hex Multi Fence, 3' x 25' Review

Hex Multi Fence, 3' x 25'
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I live in mole country - I've killed 13 so far this year (May 6,'07), 23 last year, and 19 the year before. I install the fencing 8 or so inches below ground and up along the sides to above the surface in flower beds to keep moles completely out. For tomatoes, string beans, etc, I cage the roots. Moles seem to avoid corn, but not until the stalks are full size.
Before, moles dug through bearing tomato plants and killed them, buried grafts on new bareroot roses, pushed new plants out of the ground, and otherwise tore up flower beds. Now, they can't get in. I just laid a bed of bricks under our garden arbor, but first I laid this poultry fence several inches under it - neighbors put in a beautiful brick patio several years ago but finally took it out because the moles ruined it.
The fencing cuts easily with scissors and can be folded into corners when digging straight sides and square corners. The material won't rust out like metal poultry wire.
One caveat: gophers chew through it easily, so get rid of them ASAP.

This is an excellent product. It was easy to install and easy to use.

With this switch panel, that unhappy outcome is impossible. I strongly recomend this product.

This is great epoxy, but you have to have everything out, and be quick about it; it hardens within about 2 minutes after you expose it to air. Don't be alarmed when it gets quite hot (I wasn't expecting that, even though the directions warned about it). It also helps to submerge the packet in warm water for a few minutes to soften it up before you mix the two compounds (the manual tells you to do that, too).
I used it to repair my tub about 6 weeks ago, and it's holding strong.
