inFound a faster way to mount keypads on drywall, took 2 hours off a job
Two hours off a job sounds great until I remember how many of those self tappers strip out when you hit a stud behind the drywall. I tried them once on a remodel and spent more time cursing than the toggle bolts would've cost me. Plus that thin drywall you're dealing with, those anchors bite hard at first but they can crack the face paper if you breath on them wrong. Toggle bolts are a pain but they never let go, and I'm not convinced saving an hour beats coming back to fix a sagging keypad in six months.

inAm I the only one who thinks the 'it was all a dream' endings are actually fine sometimes?
Find the pattern in life and fiction both, sometimes the twist is the only honest way to show how little control anyone really has.

inThat $60 'chicken tractor' kit turned out to be a total scam
Man, that's rough, and sadly not surprising. Those kits are built for looks, not for actually keeping anything alive out here. I've built two from pallets now, just screw them together and tack on some hardware cloth instead of chicken wire, and they've lasted through a few winters and a couple of determined coons.
