Good morning!!!!

Ed
All our cats started with a litter box but migrated to outside. Easy to do. Our Simba uses the doggie door even more than the pups. I too, dislike litter boxes, the smell and the work.

I have a box for the indoor cats, use the proper litter, clean it once a day, change it when it needs it, anywhere from two weeks to a month with my cats. Smell is very little issue if done properly. It痴 like anything else, it doesn稚 need to be any worse than you let it.
If I had a pet door I壇 have coons, possums and goodness knows what else.

Don I have a 3 band Netgear router. R8500 I believe. It does a good job in the house. But not in shop and barn. Added a Netgear N300 extender to these buildings. They work great and cost about $30 on Amazon.

We don't have much snow, but enough to share with you guys that don't get any.

Thanks for sharing L4N. Sometimes I miss scenes like that. But these days I really don't want to see them out my own windows.:shocked::laughing:

What happens if you get your finger in-between the magnet that strong and and metal?

Farmer nailed it. And once the magnet is stuck to something, you'll have a heck of a job prying it off. I put one of those hard drive magnets on the refrigerator door, and couldn't even lift a corner of it. Ended up sliding it to an edge so I could get a finger under it, and it left a big scratch in the paint. I wouldn't hesitate to drag one of those HF floor sweepers through an ash pile, as long as I knew that the fire was out and cold. I might, however, wrap it in plastic to keep the ash out of the mechanism. HF also sells an inexpensive pallet wrap that would be perfect for that job. I don't think I'd enjoy the job of pulling nails off a magnet. I tried that when the concrete contractor left all the nails from his forming on the ground around the driveway. I sure found a LOT of nails, but none of them wanted to let go of the magnet without a tug-o-war.

3 years ago I cracked the left front fender flare on my Jeep and had to replace it. They only come/are sold in pairs, that is a good thing because this morning when I went to get the mail the windrow from the plow was too close to the ditch and in I went ( about 2' deep) and got the mail boxes too. End result, I need the right front flare which I have from 3 years ago, complete with the hardware to install it. A job for the garage on Monday. I would do it myself IF I had a heated shop, but with temps in the single digits my hands wont allow me to do it. It is a good thing I have 4wd or I would be shelling out for the flare and a tow.

With regards to stinking litter boxes, I use baking soda in the bottom and chick starter is the litter. It is cheap and I am cheep, 55 lbs for $17.oo. Instead of Sweet Scoop (wheat) which is a 30lb bag for $40.oo/bag.

You just need duct tape and ty-wraps.

Ron,

How far is the shop and barn from the house ?

IOW: What distance are you covering with that extender ?

I think I'm at around 400' or so up here the shop from the house.

Yeah .... you probably wouldn’t want to do that. Losing a finger might sting a bit?

I’d been looking at all magnets, on Amazon, to make a ”portable” mount to have a video camera on front end loader when using pallet forks, stump bucket, and tree / post puller.

Got the flooring down in the pantry today. Wife thinks it is great so I do too. Not as worried about a litter box smelling an just having to clean it and to many feral cats around here for a doggy door.

Rip, praying for you and your wife and will keep at it.

Drew go over to your neighbors and ask if he has an old junk microwave and get the magnet out of that. Tie it to a stick and

Have a good night. Ed

Ron,

I think I'm at around 400' or so up here the shop from the house.

About 150’ with each. Don’s pool and garage are about the same distance. His tractor barn is about 400’. But he may be looking for more coverage in the house. Costco and Sam’s club have good routers for in-house on sale. Get the most powerful your pocket book will allow.
Going 400’ may require specialized antennas to transmit that far. My main router claims 600’. But the signal does not work good in metal barn or shop. The extenders solved that problem.

Ron, where did you install your extenders? At house or in / near your out buildings? I’ve got same issue here but my shop is probably 1000-1200 ft. from ranch house.

My out building isn't that far away from my wireless router (Netgear R7000), but both it and the house are stucco, and the wire mesh stops radio signals cold. I ended up running CAT6 cable between the two, and using another Netgear R7000 as a repeater. PITA to dig the trench, but there's no speed halving like when using a wireless extender.

I also ditched Netgear's firmware and installed Toastman Tomato. Easy to set up and simple because it drops all the bellz and whistles I'd never need or want.

The extenders are inside the 2 building. My iPhone and iPads work work well with the extenders. I have 5g in the house. It works well while inside. Our house is concrete block. Lucky to get any signal outside.
If I needed to go further. I would do like RNG did. Run hard wire.

I use to stock all those parts, La-Z-Boy sent them to me free of charge to service their customers, I still had a bunch in my building that burned. If you get the model number and contact them, they will often send a replacement part or entire unit. They have lifetime warranties.

Thanks, might give it a shot. Chair is 30 yrs old. if you zoom in, you can see the wear in the notches.

Good evening all. 35F this morning, clear, light wind. About noon sky started to cloud up, wind was blowing 15+ from south, and a high temp of 60F was reached.
