What about replacing the opener with one that is Wi-Fi enabled? You could probably find a smartphone app that would either close it or at least notify you that it was still open.

For those doing the "center cluster" type approach - do you have a structural center column that you are clustering around? If so, is it a benefit or a hindrance? For those without a center column,...
Hey Andrew, I used to go to that club years ago. Back then, it was still meeting at the home of the widow of one of the late founders.
Mike, I think what you are missing is that Mark was saying that low air consumption tools are fine. Those are things like nailers, staplers, clamps, etc. High air consumption tools are just too...
Here is my trick. Get yourself a bag of powdered drywall texture and instead of mixing it with water, use cheap PVA primer. Mix it the consistency of gravy, then roll that on with a short-nap...
It sounds a lot like where I recently moved from (Bradenton, FL. ). Winter woodworking in a garage is quite pleasant. Summer is absolutely brutal. Be sure and check the HOA rules. Some are so...
That's a decent sized timber rattler for being so far up north. You have far more patience with them than I do. That's what I keep the first two cylinders loaded with snake shot for.
When I read this I got all excited. Then I realized you were talking about "that" bay area. Your bay area is a little far for me to drive.
Go over to the Florida Aquarium. It's a great 1/2 day trip. The Yankees are doing spring training now so you could catch a pre-season game. The beach at Ft. Desoto park is pretty nice. Lots of...
When I wanted to put a box on the tongue of my flatbed tractor-hauler, I went to Lowes and bought a big plastic locking job-box. It is maybe 30" long by 24" wide by 24" high or thereabouts. I...
The best deal on Harbor Freight clamps (that actually work) I've found is their traditional wood clamps. I picked up a pair of the 12" ones a few weeks ago for $4.99 each. To me, they work just as...
How do CFL's handle generator power - i.e. something significantly less than a perfect sine wave?
I generally like what they do except for one thing. They frequently enlarge and enhance a house so much that it no longer fits in the neighborhood. That happend with their house in Tampa.
Let me add my 2cents into the fray. My employer is one of the largest venders of Sales and Use tax software. We provide the software to very large retailers that have to collect and remit sales...
I'm kind of surprised nobody mentioned the obvious answer. If I lived only 1/2 mile from where I work, I would walk to work. Half a mile is only a ten minute walk (at most).
You guys have things a little backwards. Fall is not Daylight Savings Time - summer is. Fall is "regular" time.
The simple way to test this is to try running it with the fuel cap off. If it still dies, then it isn't a vent issue.
There are things that our English brothers simply cannot get over there (dado blades for example). If he really wants something in this category, he may be willing to go to extremes to get it.

Splitting wood redneck style.
Hello, Is this the Sheriff's Office?"
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"I'm calling to report 'bout my neighbor Virgil Smith.... He's hidin'
Marijuana inside his...
If you did a "strip job", maybe you could get that finish and dried stain out without doing much damage. Since you haven't got much to loose, try rubbing it out with a scotchbrite pad soaked with...
I used an HVLP system (cheap Wagner unit that looked like a vacuum cleaner with a spray gun on the end). I sprayed ordinary latex, but had to thin it way down to get it to spray. I swore that if...
Several years ago, one of the grilling shows on TV turned me onto Grape Seed Oil. That stuff is amazing. Do an internet search on it (also try spelling "grapeseed" without the space) and you'll...
If you are using a speedbore bit it will be tough. If you are using a twist bit, I can show you a way - but it will require you to buy an extra long bit.
1. Using a small square (or two) drill a...
It isn't at all like trying for a big jury award just because the insurance companies have big pockets. There is a reason it is called unemployment "benefits". If a worker has been loyal to an...
I was in the same situation as you a little over 16 yrs ago. I decided to go back to school and earn my 2nd bachelors degree. I put in lots of "garbage" applications. Nobody requires you...
