US General power strip wall-mounting?

Has anybody had any experience wall mounting the U.S. General power strips? My walls are stucco and I have a sheltered area where I would like to mount one of these bad boys to the wall.

I'm wondering exactly how to go about doing it so it is nice and solid. Is there any way to open it up and screw the back of the body to the wall and then reassemble it?

Yukon 46-in workbench with wood top

I'm considering getting one of these bad boys, but I would love to be able to mount a vise to the top of it. Maybe a 4-inch or a 5-inch. How exactly would y'all recommend I go about doing that? Thank you for any input!

Replacing casters on 42" roll cab

Hey all...

I finally got my nice and shiny 42-inch roll cab, top chest, and end locker.

The only thing is the space in which I want to fit the setup is very tight and it is next to impossible to maneuver it with only one set of steerable wheels.

I went online to their parts finder and I found the swivel casters on a different color roll cab, and a different SKU.... They should still work though, yeah?

My plan is to just jack up one side at a time and undo the fixed casters and replace it with the swivel casters.

Nest Hub not setting reminders

I've seen several complaints about the nest hubs not responding to basic commands. I've been trying to ask mine to set various reminders, and it just acts as though I didn't say anything and it just goes back to the clock display. Are they getting ready to sunset these devices?

Workbench top?

Hey all,

I purchased several of those steel gorilla shelves from Costco, and set them up in my garage. I put one at about workbench height, to use as my work surface. My plan was to cut a piece of 3/4-in plywood to fit in between the upright supports, and use that as my work surface.

Does anybody have any other better ideas, tips, or pointers that might yield a better work surface for me? I'm worried about creeping, and the surface remaining even and stable.

I'm no Craftsman, but I have a basic set of tools, and okay general by knowledge. I just want a general use surface that I can tinker on my RC cars, and just do general household work upon.

PVC fittings?

Pardon me if this might seem like a stupid, newbie question...

Do the threaded fittings PVC to PVC require cement, Teflon tape, or pipe dope or pipe lube?

Or do I just go hand tight, and then use a tool to go another quarter turn?

Garage door vents?

I have a garage with a pretty basic metal door.

I am thinking of installing an attic fan up in the roof, to help pull the hot air out of the garage. I was thinking of installing vents or louvers in the door, to help air flow more easily.

So far online all I've been able to find are vents that go into holes for Windows. My garage door does not have these. Can someone help me find kind of what I am looking for?

Horizon Bio Bidet not getting hot

We got a bio bidet from Costco, and installed it. Overall it works fine, but only the first one second or so of the water is actually warm. After that, it reverts to basically tap temperature. I have the temperature setting on the thermostat set to the highest setting, and it's not making any difference. What are the odds that I got a faulty unit versus I'm doing something wrong?

Old DUI?

We would like to take a cruise that leaves out of Vancouver. My wife has a DUI that is 20+ years old. It was a misdemeanor, and all fines and community service were taken care of. What can we expect at the border?

VLAN?

I have several cameras and a UNVR set up on my main network...I'd like to set them all up on a VLAN for security's sake... How do I go about doing this? Every video I find on YouTube is using an outdated version of Protect and things aren't where they say they are or are named differently. Thanks in advance for your help...

Could anybody with a valid companion certificate do me a small favor?

I'm curious what flight availability from LAX to Honolulu looks like in the last week of March.... Any assistance would be terrific.

I'm a fairly new card holder and I haven't gotten a certificate yet. I'm just curious what kind of availability I can look forward to (or not).
