    Anybody else having rodents (squirrels, rats, etc.) nesting underhood and/or chewing on wiring?

    I have had this problem with pests stealing my insulation from under the hood too. I finally put out a couple of cheapie cams set to IR a couple of months ago to see what was going on at night. What I have viewed has been surprising, informative, interesting and sometimes comical. Then I started...

    Thanks, ron351 Also, I didn't make it back with the measurement of the siding the other day. It looks like 3/4" at the thick points. Thanks everyone for your help!

    Corner Mount Bracket Installation Best Practice Advice Request

    Thanks, Tinman. I didn't know. No bracket for me today. Santa forgot us again. Life is tough on The Island of Misfit Toys. :( Didn't measure the siding as planned. Winter weather issues instead. Tomorrow.

    Thanks, Alaska! Your outdoor plywood suggestion gives me an idea that will work for strength, without providing support from the inside.

    Corner Mount Bracket Installation Best Practice Advice Request

    Hi Tony, those are all the right questions for sure. I don't have all the answers. I was waiting to have the bracket in hand before settling on a final plan and was mostly wondering here about general practices or things to avoid. It's dark and raining now so I am lazy and will go outside...

    Corner Mount Bracket Installation Best Practice Advice Request

    It was supposed to arrive today and is delayed until tomorrow. I don't know if it comes with any hardware to attach it and now I only have until tomorrow to hit the store if needed before the holiday. This made me finally think to ask for recommendations on the best way to anchor it (supporting...

    B54PRO-Z4E first impression

    Yes, I have been learning my lessons here. I still have not been able to participate in testing in a wanted way. Still haven't had time to mount a camera. They remain in a window. But tonight I learned of a cancellation in my schedule. I might be able to steal a few hours for a little fun.

    iphone can still be tracked even when off

    Faraday bags for all! I had my tailor make me up 3 suits with Faraday construction, just in case. But seriously, oh, what a world... what a world. smh edit: Duh! I didn't see the button to continue the story. My bad. It was informative and I came on too strong.

    New Camera time?

    ^^^^^ That If you can't find a replacement and since it's useless anyway, I would try to gently polish away whatever that stuff is and the scratches. Similar to headlight cover restoration. Kind of looks like the a coating was separating, unless that is build up from water. Then however you...

    Tail Scale VPN

    I was game to try Tailscale but now I'm not sure. It seems that I need to create an account using my Apple, Google, etc. ID to use their apps and services. Then I will be connected through their servers which are collecting data from my usage. Am I correct? I thought I would ask here to be sure...

    Thanks for confirming that for me, that is what I took from the earlier discussion about this. With Andy's explanation above, I was wondering also about the "official" recommendation.
