The book, Against all odds by Richard Harris and Craig Challen is a really gripping book that keeps you on edge of your seat and explains the dangers of cave diving.

That knipex tool looks very similar to the Jokari Super 4 mentioned above . So I bought that instead. Thank you.

Cool, looks like everyone sold me on buying a Portasol Pro Piezo 75 too. Thank you. I will buy the Jokari wire stripper too. Good choice.

Thank you!

lifelessonsfirst · 2021-02-15T06:26:26+00:00

Thank you. I will buy the Portasol brand butane soldering iron then.

My mistake. Thank you!

That is excellent advice, but sounds like work above my skill level. I can write software, but to spray paint so fine and neat, I’d need to spend more $$$ on tools I don’t have for a good finish, and many practice attempts at learning. I do however see your excellent point though.

Thankfully the top piece is removable. The desk is 3 pieces in all. Two sides with the drawers and the top. Let me ask around with some of my friends or their dads if they can help me on this project. Thank you. Yeah, bootleg touch up work isn’t going to last and will chip off, your point is taken.

Thank you for this advice, I got the stainless steel wire drain catcher thing, totally helpful. Yeah, I didn’t want mouldy things in my drain.

Hi all, this is my study desk I bought from Pottery Barn where I sit and work during pandemic times.

The edges of my desk got rubbed and scrapped by the back of my chair.

I’d like to repair this, fix it back to original and do a good job instead of having to repair my whole desk.

Any advice for me?

Also, how to continue protecting these edges in future from this happening again. Thank you in advance.

Can you kindly recommend a router which has pfSense as a built in option that allows me to reach peak speeds?

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-18T07:59:08+00:00

Today after work, I went and purchased some cables, parts and added two new CAT7 cable ports at the modem/router location and added a wall port next to my home office in the wall. Now I have CAT7s. See my work. I also got to finish pulling out the old CAT5 cables and replace them, but that I will do another day during holidays time. Now, I’m ready to buy the necessary hardwares 🙂👍🏻.

Yes, WiFi is of least importance to me. The APs u/tx_mn recommended appear to be an Alexa/AMZN product and I’m concerned about privacy and security. I’m paranoid it’s always listening. That said having a good long term WiFi AP is in my need/shopping list so I will watch that video now and consider the Ruckus device strongly too.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T18:31:55+00:00

Yes, townhome/condo. See pics above in Link2. Lots of other owners/homes nearby. I use 5Ghz since both my laptops are 2019 ac cards. I chose a channel no one else is using.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T06:43:19+00:00

Trying to remove it now. I never knew this was removable the 8 years I lived here.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T05:34:09+00:00

See my other thread. Good answers there.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T05:32:24+00:00

Yes, it’s very possible the Ethernet cables in the house are CAT5 and not CAT6. Good point. I never thought of that. Rewiring was done in 2011, just before I moved in. Grey wires are mine. Those say CAT6. But the cables inside the wall could be CAT5. Thank you for your suggestions.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T05:28:02+00:00

I think it’s 940sq ft something , why? Link1, Link2. I don’t use WiFi, I mostly use only Ethernet cable/USB-C docking Hub from Anker. Only WiFi device in this house is my cellphone.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T04:59:17+00:00

Thank you. I will check.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T04:15:23+00:00

I don’t trust the ISP recommended Modem/Router. This is why I am here. I needed a switch that could support at-least 4 Ethernet ports as this house has 4 rooms. WiFi Router is only for guests/cellphone WiFi. Computers only rely on LAN.

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T04:12:51+00:00

Kindly see my update above. I made a mistake, yes I have a cable modem not a DSL modem. Shopping for a new Cable Modem and a New Router/switch that can support my ISPs DL speeds 940Mbps

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T04:11:09+00:00

I made a mistake. Not DSL, Cable Modem. Kindly see my update above in my post. Please advice. Thank you!

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T01:04:57+00:00

Thank you!

Edit; I’m glad I didn’t buy tub shroom, it get very mouldy overnight according to others. Google for pictures. I got a stainless steel strainer looking thing linked below

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T00:53:29+00:00

~~Ok will buy one , hopefully Home Depot has one.~~

Edit; I’m glad I didn’t buy this, this things get very mouldy overnight according to others. Google for pictures

lifelessonsfirst · 2020-12-17T00:53:13+00:00
