Good morning!!!!

Rick, I replaced all the bulbs in my double fixtures around the house and garages with 90w equivalent dimable LEDs last year, no mud daubers or masons, in fact almost no bugs at all. Don’t have to clean those areas between house washings like I use to. I use dimables because mine are set to half power at dark, then go to full power when the beam is broken by movement.

Thanks. Good to know Randy. We also have four of the typical high pressure sodium fixtures. They draw bugs like crazy.



I'm considering replacing them with this 5000 lumen fixture from Sam's Club.

Or maybe this 6000 lumen one.

I just hope the owner keeps a copy of the video to watch so he can still work the lock when he gets older...:laughing:

I agree.
Beautiful work.

Yet another dry day for us, I still have a pile of paperwork to do but this weather is too good to miss being outside. My wife has me down for moving soil and filling holes in the driveway, while I want to get on with collecting wood that should have been split and stacked long ago. Not sure which of those will still be on the list unless I carry on after dark.

Wouldn't take long to get in this with an angle grinder, but thought some of you may like to see this absolutely stunning craftsmanship.Forged and Filed on Vimeo

That is insane... Clock work craftsmanship.

^^^^^^^^^^^ I agree. Awesome precision. And I was amazed by my friend who was/is a clock-smith. Eric thank you for sharing.

They have run into some snags... Both weather and material issues. The projected opening is late this summer / fall. There will be two restaurants when it reopens. One still called the "High Finance", and being a formal type dining area. The other will be more of a business casual atmosphere.

I can see it taking so long, they totally demolished the old and started the new building from scratch. Expensive proposition considering the very limited access to the site.

The history of that place is pretty interesting. It started as a "warming shack" way back when.

My daughter use to sell those pancake security lights when she was in commercial lighting for years, she really liked them, I would think either would be plenty of light. I am thinking about using two of them myself, my daughter told me about 16 to 20 ft height is ideal.

I have 3 of the same lights with plastic housings. Don’t know how long the housings will last. But they are very bright and do not need to warm up to get bright.

You have the LED lights Ron? Do they attract bugs?

Eric, that was quite the contraption. He must have a big secret to keep hidden.

Nothing ingestible
