Having a 880 Ft2 (80m2) garage with raw but smooth concrete floor we want to freshen up in a lighter color and also make easier to clean going forward.

But what is easiest for 'amateurs' to use for getting a professional and durable result?

And if using two-component primer and top-coats, is it possible to cut it up into more sub-projects, so we do not need to coat the entire full floor in one go? But like making each layer in maybe 2-3 goes instead.

We also have plenty of time for it to harden up between layers and putting our stored back in. Aka we have also alternative space to store stuff, so in no rush to do it all in aka 24h turnaround. :o)

So what solution/compounds would you suggest we go for please?
And what about the flakes? More is better to get a homogeneous color/flaky result? And the excess of flakes can just be brushed/wiped off before pouring on the final top coat?

Instead of paying excessive amounts for a 'bespoke noname camera' you get in a bundle deal with a bird nest, would any of the standard 3k or 4k solar powered Tapo cameras be able to do the same or better please? A critical success factor will of course be if the Tapo camera can indeed focus on something just a few inches away inside the nest box.

Don't know if somebody here in the group please could answer to that or maybe make a quick test on how close up one of their Tapo solar powered cameras can focus? Not any specs typically listed anywhere, as for security functions, its often more a question about how far awy a distance it can still capture the images well. :o)

If able to use a std security camera kit like those from Tapo would bring many benefits versus those you can get via special wildlife/nature product sellers. Where you are often blocked to staying with their special apps and recording options. While if using Tapo, the live feed and recordings could be forwarded to any device you want on your home network. 👍

PS: Some of the birdbox nest kits you can buy online look to sell them with something that looks very much like the Arlo Ultra2 compact cameras, though they have no name/labels on them. Reason why I wondered if maybe the Tapo could be set up for something like this, or maybe the lens specs needs to be really special for this to work at all?

If priority is performance and build quality?

The individual specs of which CPU, size of RAM, SSD etc of course has also big impact, but if setting these 'all equal', how would you then rate the laptop series against each other? And is there really a base for having so many variants or will we see some being pulled from market in coming years?

Like the legacy names like Inspiron, Latitude, and Precision are all phased out I guess?

So what about the following and how do they stack up?

• XPS (or is this actually already obsolete?)
• Dell Pro
• Dell Pro Essential
• Dell Pro Max
• Dell Pro Precision
• Dell Pro Education
• Alienware

I know his income has dropped off a cliff and he has also spent considerable amounts on recovery treatments from the best folks and places in this world.

But it has just been 7 months since he ruptured his Achilles. Doesn't this sound like just way too early to start playing the tour again? Thought exactly that starting out with substantial pull on it too early would risk it to become wobbly for life and his explosive physical playstyle appears much reliant on that?

Not to mention the worry about a repeat rupture... 😬

His team also talks about this Hamburg tournament is perfect as prepping for his Grand Slam-comeback for the French Open. That is 24th May till 7th June. Fingers crossed they are all good and we will see him back in shape.

Like 5-6 cameras around the perimeter to cover all entry points with minimum 2 overlaying cameras covering each other, live central storage of the video material.

The newer solar powered WiFi enabled cameras look very handy to set up with minimum trouble with having to pull cables all around. We have ability for UPS supply to keep our central wifi and server system running for a few hours even if electricity is cut, so if the cameras otherwise keeps transmitting, it should work no matter.

But is their video quality sufficient? Do they provide sufficient clarity also at night time? Does it help to set up additional IR light projectors to support them more?

I am enticed by the prospects of getting the functionality without the obligation for ongoing presciptions to making it work. We have local security company on call and also neighborhood that reacts quickly if any alarms go off, which is all set in the house already. So main thing is for the video recording of the surroundings and the culprits if any comes onto property uninvited.

Been having a few pools in past decades and now looking to construct a new.

So here a decisive question: At what level do you find it best to place the pool pump, sensors, salt chlorinator, heat pump etc please?

There can be listed various pros/cons for each scenario, so just wondering if some have much more importance than others?

Aka placing the pump just below the waterline appears to aid it for less strain to circulate the water overall and it is also a great help to avoid the hassle to having to prime the pump and the tubes if/when it has been running empty/start of season. Had one of my previous pools where it was quite (too) long tubes to/from the pool and with the pump sitting 3 feet above water level, it was tedious to get all the skimmer tubes and pump lines primed and emptied for air to get the whole system running properly again.

But what other factors like this are important to consider?

EDIT: This question is for in-ground pools!
