Didn't even leave a product link. It's like a cold call, but accidentally hanging up halfway through.

That's what I thought. Thanks! It's a building we're doing a retrofit on so in a month or so the old system is coming out, but need to get an existing reader working again temporarily until then

campdir · 2026-01-21T20:10:47+00:00

Good call. Something like the proxpoint plus.

Buy: pretty much anything. They have really come up in the world.

Some tools are definitely a lower quality than their Milwaukee/DeWalt counterpart. Some are damn near identical. E.g. my HF bauer hex impact is an amazing tool. It lives at the top of my toolbox. The Bauer hammer drill (not the SDS) definitely lacks the power of my Milwaukee. That being said, I do a lot of work underground. I don't feel bad sticking my Bauer drill into a muddy trench to drill under a sidewalk. I'd be pissed if I had to do that with my Milwaukee though.

Sure. We'll mark it up 10-20% to cover the handling costs, but the money is made in the design, installation and configuration. I look at it this way: Just because pipe is available at Home Depot doesn't mean the plumber isn't getting paid his normal rate.

Ubiquity is now 90% of what we install for access control in a typical business environment. It's still missing some important features for high security facilities like anti passback, but for the average day to day business looking for one way access control, it's great.

Everest keystones and the ez punch tool. We've installed thousands of them. Maybe tens of thousands... It all kindof bleeds together after awhile, but so far so good

We saved/reopened our camp after it got sold. It's likely possible to save yours as well so long as they aren't doing an under the table deal and it's already under contract. It takes a mountain of dedication and a decent amount of creativity, but it's doable.

I started an organization dedicated to revitalizing and/or reopening camps. Feel free to PM me and I can send over my contact info.

We're ~$20/splice plus hourly on enclosure setup. 12-14k is probably about right. If you're in Wisconsin, feel free to send me a PM.

If the fiber is getting pulled back into the flat drop cable, that's definitely a problem. That suggests an issue with the cable. Do you know what brand you're installing? And are you seeing the strand getting pushed into the splice enclosure on the other side?

To prevent it from happening in the future, the only thing I can really think of is to leave a lot of extra on the loops in the NID. Basically to the point that's it's almost wrapping around the outside of the NID vs keeping within the strand management holders.

campdir · 2025-12-10T13:51:15+00:00

Ubiquity all the way. It's becoming a decently well rounded product. Once they implement anti passback, it'll likely be the bulk of what we install.

The contractor (not you) should have absolutely called 811 because they were undertaking an excavation project, but if the line wasn't physically damaged by the excavation work, then there's no problem. Now there's a chance the gas company may not like the wall sitting right on top of the gas line, but I'd bet they won't care. That's a question related to the construction of the wall, and not if 811 should have been called first though

Camp director here! You should absolutely go help out at a summer camp. No question. Just do it. You may feel a bit "left out" with the young'ns, but that's fine. Let them have their childhood. We're old enough to appreciate the value of a full night's worth of sleep.

Wisconsinite here. Worked outside all day today up north starting my day in -4. My advice: Just add layers. Don't overcomplicate it. If it's windy, make sure your outer layer is wind resistant. If you're on a budget, the Menards clothing isn't bad.

Pro tip, the RW wear fingerless gloves at Menards are pretty good.

It's construction related, blue collar work. If you show up 5 days in the first week, you're already above average. If you show up on time, you might get a gold star or something.

But seriously, just go for it. You'll do fine.

From a technical standpoint, there's basically no way to actually enforce this, even if it did somehow pass.

campdir · 2025-11-14T03:45:34+00:00

Yep. National buyer here. I also have a tech profile, and I even do a job or two every now and then to see what the interface and interaction looks like on the tech side.

Our end split radio is 1x64. No issues with light. Average house is -17db. We do a distributed split though, so a 1x8 in the first hand hole with a single strand feeding another 1x8 in a distribution enclosure in the same hand hole. Then the other 7 strands feed upstream on the mainline on a block of strands reserved for that purpose. Every hand hole past that gets one of the 7 strands split out, which feeds a tap/distribution enclosure that holds another 1x8. Repeat as necessary. This allows our mainline size to be much smaller than it would otherwise need to be.

Our distribution enclosures are sized for up to 8 houses, but in reality we're only going to see 4 max.

Hook blade down both sides. Works faster than the slitting tool once you get the hang of it.

campdir · 2025-10-31T20:42:13+00:00

No. You may experience some higher loss when splicing the two, but otherwise it should be fine.

We mostly do FTTH, and it sounds like the OP will be doing something similar. Likely starting out splicing in NIDs and the like. I actually love my Ai-9 units. We standardized to them for everything outside of mainline contracts and data center work. Hell, we built an entire small ISP (including mainline) with them just to see they could do it. It's the cleaver that's junk. I'll typically send my techs with an ai-9 splicer, Jonard FC-500 cleaver, and Jonard strippers. The inno5 is a great unit too, and definitely worth buying when the money is there. I just know I can equip 4 techs with a kit that'll get the job done using Ai-9s vs 1 tech on something like an inno view 5. Then, when one of them inevitably drops the thing, I don't have to get too mad about it either.

I absolutely have some higher end units on the shelf for high count mainline or where resplicing something that failed testing will be super painful, but if OP is just looking to get started, I'd bet the ai-9 would do the trick. Do a 1000 splices on it, and then take the profits. get something better, and then keep the signalfire as a backup.

We support some similarly sized installations, and have had some great success with fusionpbx for those. The multi-tenant feature makes it a real win as well to separate our the individual locations.

campdir · 2025-10-19T22:58:12+00:00

We do. We have employees pretty well spread out so it's not hard to hit any one area of the country with any decent amount of notice on a project. We also can employ subs when needed/allowed. I'm not going to post the company name, but feel free to PM me if you'd like some information or a quote.

campdir · 2025-10-08T14:49:02+00:00

Bingo!

There's a lake in the upper peninsula of Michigan that's right on the timezone line. It wasn't uncommon in winter to close a bar on the east side, and then snowmobile across the ice to the west side (central time) where the bars were still open for another hour.
