Hard to wax poetic over hoses, but this is a nice, sturdy lightweight hose that doesn’t kink. Read more »

I needed to spray a 4X8 ft. section of ceiling I replaced and had to match the existing popcorn ceiling. Purchased Homax texture and used the Power Tex to do this. After mixing the popcorn, I took a piece of scrap drywall to practice on. It took one swipe and the texture was perfect. Do recommend you do a test spray each time you use a new batch of texture. The second batch I made up, I thought I had just right, but when I test sprayed, it was too thin and ran down the drywall scrap. You cannot tell where the repair is, it matched up perfectly. You can control the amount you are spraying and I sprayed three light coats to slowly match the existing ceiling. The Tex is the ticket for small repairs or spraying small rooms. It does get a little heavy spraying extended times so doing an entire house would be tough and slow. Haven’t tried other textures, but the Power Tex made a job I thought I might need a pro to do very easy. Did I mention it is too easy to clean? well it is. Read more »

We got ours from the local Lowes, and it came in an open box. The excuse Lowes had was that there is a lot of store theft for these products so they un-box them (?) to upper shelves! Vain as it sounds, I have always wanted these. – It can be a hassle to walk in the door with a ton of grocery bags and then have to fumble for keys. – Esp. with two large puppies clamoring to get in before you. – It is so convenient to be able to give a ‘guest code’ to friends, workers, and of course – guests You can always delete/alter the guest code later with ease. – You don’t have to get up in the middle of the night to answer the door for your spouse when they fly into town (no, he doesn’t always carry his keys and yes, he forgets/looses them quite often) I designed my door around this lock. We were thinking about replacing the front entry doors and instead, I decided I would just give a lick of paint to the door and install new hardware, this one included. It was not hard to convince my husband – $3k vs less than $300 was an easy sell Here is a pic – and no, the blue is not as gaudy as this picture makes it out to be :p So go ahead – get one, it is a beauty! Note: I would say still have a spare key somewhere outside. I have heard the battery lives a long long time, but I always keep a key with my trusty neighbours. Read more »

I wanted a ladder that gave me the versatility of the Little Giant, but without the high $$$. I’ll admit, this ladder is a little bit heavy and could be slightly difficult for some to lug around, but other than the weight, it’s a great ladder. It’s very sturdy and high quality. Everyone who has come by my house and seen the ladder has remarked on how it’s exactly what they need as well. I think I should get some kind of commission from Werner! I would recommend this to anyone. Read more »
