We have a motion activated sprinkler to deter deer from eating our tomatoes and I’m looking for a timer that will shut off the water flow during the day. The ones I’ve seen at the store seem to only want to water intermittently, instead of completely off/on. Does anyone know of one?
So my home office is in our basement while my wife’s is in a finished attic space. We have a mini split system, but it has to be all heat or all cooling, and many days it’s cold in my office, but hot in my wife’s office....

Our laundry room sink has this bizarre attachment to to the back of the drain line clean out. It would almost seem like it was or is supposed to be a vent. Recently it’s started to give off a foul sewer smell when our washing machine rinses....
Hello all,...
The flippers who installed the plastic shower liner only cut the faucet handle holes big enough for the stems and I need to replace the cartridges. I used a jab saw for one but that sucked, what kind of Dremel bit can I use?
