DIY Automatic Chicken Coop Door
I installed an automatic chicken coop door controlled by a timer. This design uses all 12V devices. The linear actuator has an automatic shutoff switch when it is fully extended or fully retracted, and draws a maximum of 3A. I used a 12V 4A power supply to power the system.

How To Make Your Own Natural Tick Spray For the Yard
In this video I show you how to make your own non-toxic (to humans) tick spray. This spray will both repel and kill ticks. I make and apply this spray once a year and have reduced my tick sightings from multiple per day to less than 10/year.
The ingredients are cedar oil, and diatomaceous earth. I use about 8oz of cedar oil and about 2 cups of DE for 1 gallon of spray.

How to Make Your Own Tick Tubes
In this video I show you how to make your own tick tubes for tick prevention.
The white-footed mouse is the #1 vector for ticks. The ticks attach themselves to the mouse, stay attached for their blood meal, and then fall off and reproduce. The goal of the tick tube is to provide the mice with some bedding that is toxic to ticks.
Here is the equation for dilution:
(Desired Amount * Desired Concentration) / Current Concentration = Amount of current concentration to add to desired concentration.
D% * D(amount) / C% = C(amount)
If you want 1% permethrin in 1 quart of water that would be:
0.01 * 32oz / 0.1 = 3.2 ounces of 10% permethrin
So anywhere between 1.6 and 3.2 ounces should be sufficient.

The exact programming cable I used in this video is no longer available. The Cheaper Programming cable below is a close comparison. Some people have had problems with the cheaper cables. This seems to be due to Windows blacklisting certain cable drivers. If you are using Windows you may want to consider buying the more expensive FTDI programming cable. If you are using Linux the cheaper programming cable should work fine.
