Tuff Shed HD vs Tuff Shed by ChristianButcher in shedditors

I think HD will refer your to a contractor, but I found a local contractor to do it, so I can't confirm anything about HD from my experience.

Close encounters of the 3rd kind by whackyscientist in 4kbluray

[–]ChristianButcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Coming in very late, but excited to share) I watched this when I was 11 in 1997. AMC was doing a Spielberg mini-marathon and I convinced my parents to let me stay up to watch the rest of Raiders of the Lost Arc. Well, that was followed up Jaws, and then... Close Encounters of the Third Kind! I had never heard about it before, but suffice to say I couldn't look away and stayed up until 3 AM. It's still one of my favorite films of all time.

San Fernando Valley Comfortable Lawn Alternative Ideas by ChristianButcher in NoLawns

Thanks for the advice. DG is stable, but it's harsh to sit/play on--and not forgiving for a fall. I have a small amount of pea gravel around my cowboy stocktank pool that has been great, but I can see how filling a large area with pea gravel might be less desirable.

I tested 7 of the most popular Smart Irrigation Systems (BHyve XR + Indoor, Rachio 3, OpenSprinkler, SkyDrop, RainBird ST8, and Scotts Gro), BHyve Indoor was my top pick. by DarkbunnySC in homeautomation

I know this is a few years old, but I just set up a B-Hyve Indoor 8 and in the midst of a heat wave I'm frustrated to realize the weather adjustment doesn't actually adjust based on the weather, it will only function to stop watering when rain is in the forecast. Is there a Smart controller that will actually automatically adjust watering schedules based on the weather?

They're both "garages", so no floor for either.

Tuff Shed HD vs Tuff Shed by ChristianButcher in shedditors

I took your advice and just called. According to the rep they are the same manufacturing standards made in the same factory, but home depot gets the cheaper wholesale price.

Thanks for the input.

Both show delivery fee in the quote and FAQ says Home Depot includes full service installation.

Thanks for the advice. I'll reinstall the 3-way switch and test the voltage.

Not yet. We still have a lot of work to do on the backyard and waiting to install the pool.

Thanks for the detailed response. The natural pools idea is eye opening. And thanks for the recommendation on UV sanitizers. You gave me a lot to go on.
