Lighted Yard
I have some solar yard lights. Can I charge the batteries in a charger on a cloudy day?
I already do this, it’s fine.
After a few years the batteries will wear out and need to be replaced; also some chargers just don’t work as well as others. They’re made pretty cheaply nowadays. Try mixing up the batteries to see if it’s the battries or the charging units that are causing the lights to not charge properly.
After a real recharge, thye REALLY glow brightly! It’s fun!

How to shop for outdoor lighting fixtures?
<!– @page { size: 8.5in 11in; margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>
The use of proper outdoor lighting fixtures is required to accomplish all these tasks. The primary thing to decide is whether you want the outdoor light to help you see while you are outside or whether you want the light for security purposes. Post lights can be placed on the route to your front door to help illuminate the foot path for safety or you can place wall mounted or hanging lights by your door. Both these options will light up the yard, thus offering the comfort of security.
In case the light is being sited in an area that will be exposed to the elements, a weatherproof fixture will make a good choice for the durability factor. Most outdoor lighting fixtures are exposed to the elements and therefore come with different protective materials to protect the bulb and remain resistant to the various elements that they are exposed to. Also remember that such fixtures are supposed to last for several years so extra care has to be taken to make the right choice.
Proper care should also be taken to ensure that the outdoor lighting fixtures coordinate with the overall theme and décor of the space where they will be deployed, as this would add aesthetically to the charm of the house. A contemporary home should have a modern fixture while a country home would suit a rustic look.
However do not be carried away by the looks of the fixture alone, make sure that the lighting you choose is providing the required light in the area where it is installed. In case some area is not lighted properly, then you might need to install another fixture. Always remember that having too much light is just as bad as having too little light.
A good way to check for the reliability of outdoor lighting fixtures and bathroom light fixtures is to ask for recommendations from friends, family and neighbors. They would be able to make suggestions of a few retailers who stock such fixtures and you can then check out the websites of these retailers and read through user reviews before finally making up your mind.

Can I used roundup around those covered electrical boxes in my yard?
They’re in my front yard, they covered, but a pain in the ass to mow around, and I have to weed eat. It’s a mixture of grass and weeds. Also there is a light pole in my yard, can I use round up around that too so grass won’t grow and I don’t have to use the weed eatter?
Sure! Electrical companies do it to keep the weeds down around the poles. Just put it on what you want to die.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
