As a Semi-pro dot connector, I do sometimes miss a connection. I feel some of the value of this video is for the world - to see, that people do exist on social media who admit being human. I don't like unanswered questions, even though they are the most common type. While I still could be wrong and completely innocent, I think I unpacked a riddle. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions LLC

Stay tuned for the next video if you want to see the answer of "Why." © 2024 Del Hollow Productions

Fair notice! This video was not planned and not intended for novices. And, I don’t know how many people need a package (heat) sealer. But, to try to make it interesting to a wider audience, I thought I’d speak to other than “band sealer” options. Most, if not all, of which are cheaper. And, there was a huge afterthought (as a video inclusion) that doubles the length where we nerd-out a little bit. You get to see this function twice (once in segment 1 and again in segment 2). PLEASE NOTE: The dial adjustment is set to “just operational” mode which says it’s 2 minutes. This knock-off is way, way, way off. Omron specs say for the timer: (Time range: 0.5 to 10 min) Accuracy of operating time, ±1% FS max. (0.5 s range: ±1%±10 ms max.) *1. Setting error ±10%±50 ms FS max. Note: The video has been recorded at 1.2x playback speed. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions LLC Links: • Omron H3Y series https://www.ia.omron.com/products/family/196/specification.html • https://us.idec.com/idec-us/en/USD/Relays-%26-Timers/Relays/RH-Power-Relay/c/RH_Series • Omron MY2N-GS series https://www.ia.omron.com/products/family/3440/lineup.html

The short version of this is we just got snowed in here in Tennessee and I said I might make some bread bowls. Never made chili to go with them but I have two bags of flour I need to used so here they are. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

Don’t know what Many Bogs are? Watch the show. It is the end of the year and the next several are likely to be very harsh. While I stay on my own much of the time and so, have very little “social drinking” – this is the designated driver time of the season where everyone – exercises common sense and responsible actions. As explained in the video, I and not a Jello Shot kinda guy. But in mass gatherings of family and friends, with fun and games – we have a few. Will it prevent the girls from cheating at Pictionary? Probably not. But safety systems are in place to see everyone makes it home safely. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

This is a review of a pair of solar parking lot lights from Amazon. Most of the offerings there look strikingly similar. These are pole, sq-post or wall mount. I replaced a Harbour Freight lamp that failed. Video includes a brief wildlife clip. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

This may take longer than it should, but I think it is better than a simple “unboxing.” The box couldn’t get much more basic. I am trying something that, in my application, couldn’t hurt to try but probably won’t make much of a difference. I did do something which should help maximize battery life. If you watch this, see if you pick up on it. Again, at worst, it can’t hurt. I do show something pretty typical in these sort of things. I hope the design on these are more robust. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

With online content I think there are two main divisions: one entertainment and two information. This is much more of the latter. Here I demonstrate something anomalous in eufy’s app and hardware. Specifically, the HomeBase 2, eufy cam 2c, and 2c Pro. Not always is a problem real, occasionally manufactures do a poor job of explaining HOW something is DESIGNED and INTENDED to function. When we consumers expect something else – it appears broken. Perhaps this is the case. Perhaps not. But a quick search online suggests that – real or perceived, eufy has a few problems they should look into. Because whether on the manufacturer’s end or our the consumer’s end – meeting realistic expectations matters. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

For better or worse, when I switched to Android 13 from a 2015 circa phone – the app failed badly. So I shot a video. But before I could release it – they sent a base station update and that fixed quite a few issues. Still, it appears they have a few things that be they consumer confusion on how the system works or actual bugs, here are some of my observations. I don’t think it’s just me reading some community posts. But you be the judge. For me, I still think eufy is a leader in the industry. But I would like to see some improvements. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

You know the expression – “When you rob Peter to pay Paul…?” There’s more difference between a live camera and an event driven than you might first think. Before-we-buyers want to kick the tires so to speak, but in the world of consumer-grade wireless cameras influencers seem to get different results than we do. Always showing the sunny side of life. Most watch for information not entertainment. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

This is a companion video for S13E29 that dealt with system architectures. What this does is look specifically at the non-solocam architecture and how separate alarming (and other features) can be implemented. In the next video we will do a deep dive into some of the surveillance product these generate around the hollow. Remember, to avoid disappointments we must have reasonable expectations; we must understand the tradeoffs when we rob Peter to pay Paul. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

You know the expression – “When you rob Peter to pay Paul…?” Well, this is another unusual video. I’ve made it because a brother had been wanting to add video around the house. At some point you just have to say “Wow, I had no clue how many different companies there are slinging home security products out there.” In my case, just yesterday, in FB, I had I think 17 adverts in a row for either security products or services. What makes this video different is that I’m not talking up (or down) any specific product but the “How, when and why” the overall system design constrains operation. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

Disasters happen just that quick. Yes, they are that simple but can you do it? It makes you wonder why contractors charge so much and still don’t do a great job. How long does it take and what tools are needed? © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

Here’s a video collection of post-job tips. Some are old from way-back, some are new like pre-mix grout and laser levels. Times do change and much of it – never will. I have not done a tile job in a while, and if it wasn’t for this economy being a train wreck, I would have hired it done. It’s so much easier. But at the same time, I admit that I am particular. Nobody will care as much about how your home job turns out more than you.. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

Here’s a short video designed to help people get a straight row. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

So you might be thinking that you are up for putting in your own backsplash. Well, there are different types of materials that can make it a challenge for first timers and DIYers but these thin ceramic subway tiles and similar, are pretty easy to work with and you may not need an expensive wet saw or rental. So, in this video (it’s a little longer than most of these online videos – but hopefully, time passes quickly and it’s complete. If you found this useful, please consider giving a like and subscribing. I truly aspire for a different kind of video content. And you know, we live in a world where people want a job to look like the craftsman has had 20 years experience, yet won’t watch a 15 minute video… © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

Do I need to seal my ceramic tile? Yes? No? Maybe, maybe not? Watch and see if this is sensible to you. Comment if you learned something new. If you did, please consider giving a like and subscribing. I truly aspire for a different kind of video content. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

You can try this Quick Tip at home. It’s so simple yet I have never seen anyone do it but me. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

Don't try this at home. You could damage your cabinets or have tile that won't stay where you put them. You can also search the internet for a tile adhesive suitable for the job (if one exists); however, such a product may still require prep to the cabinet surface. Not everything you see on Social Media such as YouTube or on Gnome and Hardin TV is actually a grand idea. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

When I look at YouTube, I see countless Gnome and Hardin TV style videos. Rarely do I see things with long term thought. Makes sense yeah? Many people are in business to result in construction that fosters future work and the completion of current work by what’s convenient and expeditious to them. Because, everyone knows – “Time is Money.” Here, I ran into a situation where a sub may have genuinely not known any other way. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

I perused the web looking for “How Tos” on built-in microwaves. Quite a wide variety actually; however, most fixate on swapping one out with scant details on planning, electrical and virtually no admission when something doesn’t go as planned. Designing a kitchen - especially in this economy of supply chain shortages, long cabinet delays and labour shortages - can really let the obvious slip up on you. You won’t believe this – but, it got done. Remember, it’s not a race. Due to something within, I actually dropped a few steps that are self-evident in order to show the surprises. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions Note: this replaces the original post as it had a title error. I'd fire my video editor but he's going through a lot right now and I'm cheap (it's my mistake y'all).

It can be easy and then you can discover complications in your remodel project. Don't make this mistake in yours. © 2023 Del Hollow Productions

This is not like any other "how to" your oven I promise. It contains information which I have never before seen shared - ANYWHERE! If you are facing an install in a virgin cabinet and have never installed a wall oven - this is a must.

There is a difference between totally being a case of the blind leading the blind - and being honest with a post. Even the best, of which I have no claim, do have parts/supplies and situations than try their souls. People are fast to tell you of their successes - and s l o w... to tell you about when things don't go smoothly. I still have no clue why this was such a fight. I know my eyes don't see as well as they used to and with two bad knees, they aren't alone. No. No excuses. But also, no understanding of what caused this to fail - nor.... why it fought me so hard going back in. But, I don't like to be beaten. You only lose if you quit. I think this is good for folks to be reminded of, most especially new home owners. There is so much you can do. And always watch out for Gremlins. They do exist - just don't get the bastages wet! © 2023 Del Hollow Productions
