Exterior residential wall construction is receiving more attention these
days, especially in areas now prone to dangerous weather conditions.

Sensing Opportunities: Pros and Cons of PIR and Microwave Approaches
Lighting the great outdoors requires a bit more thought now than it did a
couple decades ago. The goal used to be simply packing as many lumens
as possible into a landscape fixture. That was the entire point.
Photocell sensors might have been used to ensure lights didn’t stay on
during daylight hours, but keeping outdoor space fully illuminated –
even when no humans were around – was seen as a key safety measure.

This Ain’t Your Great Aunt Betty’s Room Radiator!
Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty's two-story farmhouse was a haven for my
brother and me during our childhood. While it didn't boast modern
amenities, the old-fashioned radiators under each window ensured a cozy
warmth throughout the house. These radiators were a blessing during cold
winters, providing a spot to dry our snow-soaked gloves.

When All You Have is a Hammer…
Yeah, I’m sure you know the saying — “When all you have is a hammer,
everything looks like a nail.” And I’d imagine you probably chuckled,
just a little anyway. A friend of mine gave his small boy a hammer for
his birthday. And the kid beat on everything, all day long, when Tommy
was at work… including the gas meter in the yard.

Guess What? Fuses Still Matter
Up until three years ago, I lived with a couple small boxes of spare
fuses that sat on top of the water heater in the basement, ready to be
drawn from should the rare combination of, say, the toaster and
microwave operating at the same time happen to shut down power to the
kitchen.
