Bostitch Palm Nailer Review Brightons Reviews and More 2024-06-07 | This Bostitch Palm Nailer is my new favorite tool - especially because it can drive finished nails - something that few Palm Nailers can do. amzn.to/4bLZnms (Affiliate link)I bought this one because you can change out the tips to hold different size nails.It's my first time using pneumatic tools and it rocks. Here's what I loved and what needs improvement.The palm nailer comes with three tips for different nail types: roofing, common, and finish nails. Handy, but not perfect. The website calls them a standard nose, finish nail nose, large bore nose. I'd call them tips.First issue: the factory-installed tip is tough to remove. The tool provided wasn't enough. I had to use a crescent wrench and a fence post for leverage to unscrew the nose. Once off, switching tips is easy.It comes with a so-called "glove" that's thin and has some useless connectors. Not sure what they were thinking with this.Final downer: It doesn't come with the necessary hose connector. I had to buy an articulated one separately. The downside is it doesn’t fit neatly back into the case, which cracked.Now for the good stuff. The tips are easy to use once the initial removal hurdle is cleared. The roofing nailer tip, though, lacks a magnet unlike the others.For common nails, the built-in magnet holds the nail in place, making the job smoother. I used this a lot for 3-inch galvanized nails—perfect for corners and general use.The finish nail tip is a game-changer. It drives nails below the surface. Super efficient.Overall, for a versatile, powerful tool that handles various nail types, the Bostitch Palm Nailer is a win.0:00 Intro0:34 How to remove the Bostitch Palm Nailer tip (nose?) when it's stuck2:18 Demonstration of Bostitch Palm Nailer with different size nails6:25 Final problem with Bostitch Palm Nailer Kit
How to Flush a Water Heater Tank Brightons Reviews and More 2024-06-04 | If you have sediment in your water heater, this little device will make flushing and draining simple. You can get the Sediment Buster on Amazon amzn.to/3V7NmRg (affiliate link.)Flushing your water heater to remove sediment is a task maintenance task you should do annually (according to some random folks on the Internet.) The timing really depends on how dirty your water heater is - and you can find out by draining off a bit of sediment from the bottom valve. But to really get the sediment out, you need to agitate the water inside the tank.The sediment buster allows you to use a compressor or even a bike pump to push air into your tank from the bottom, mixing up the sediment and allowing it to flow out with the water.In this video, you'll see how much rust came out of my tank.

Start Playing Pickleball with this Pickleball Set (4 balls & 4 paddles) Brightons Reviews and More 2023-08-17 | Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America - to get started all you need is a paddle and a ball (or actually 2-4 paddles and a ball plus a place to play.) This set from Amazon has 4 paddles and 4 balls (two indoor orange balls and two outdoor yellow balls.) This is a great way to start playing the game! Pickleball courts are showing up in communities everywhere. This is an affiliate link and I'll be compensated if you buy: amzn.to/3KGIzSnTo be clear - these are not paddles for advanced players - my regular paddle costs $200. This equipment is for beginners. Once you know what you need in a paddle (weight, grip size, shape, thickness) then you can go on to buy a nicer paddle. But getting an expensive paddle to start is a waste of money. You won't know what is best until you start playing.And once you move up, you can share these paddles with friends.

REVIEW: Portable Carbon Monoxide Detector for Travel: GZAIR SA103 Brightons Reviews and More 2023-07-08 | This portable battery powered CO detector is perfect for travel overseas where carbon monoxide detectors aren't common. Buy it on Amazon: https://pixel.xin/43pJNqhttps://www.gzair.top/product/gzair-travel-carbon-monoxide-detector-sa103-black/This CO detector was given to me to honesty review by GZAIR and I really like it. I'm taking it on my Mexico trip in two weeks. Americans have died in Mexico due to CO poisoning because hotel rooms don't typically have CO detectors and the infrastructure is a bit behind the US.

How TMS Treatment Totally Transformed My Life And Ended My Depression Brightons Reviews and More 2023-05-04 | I was amazed at how quickly TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatment cured my depression. Maybe eliminate is a better word, because I'm still on a low dose of medication. But I'm really happy with the results and experienced no side effects.I've been suffering from MDD Major Depressive Disorder for 20 years and this is the first treatment that has produced consistent and long lasting results. I'm posting this video about 6 months after I recorded this footage and in that time, I've only had one very minor decline in my mood. That is amazing because typically I would have experienced a number of more significant dips in my mood during a 6 month period.I'm not a doctor, and I can't really explain how it works, but I just know it works. I also know that my depression wasn't "bad enough" for insurance to cover this new treatment, but it was the best $4500 I've ever spent!Neustart Psychiatry is in Portland, Salem and Bend Oregon: neustartpsychiatry.comIf you comment down below, please note that I don't check this YouTube channel that often, so my reply may be delayed or non-existant.

How to Remove Google Maps Photos You Posted as a Customer Brightons Reviews and More 2023-03-22 | If you posted a photo or video to a business on Google Maps (AKA Google My Business) you have the ability to delete that photo from the business's profile.You can also use this same method to delete reviews you left for a business, or edit the reviews you wrote.The business owner can request a photo be removed (and there are many videos helping business owners do that) but if the photo doesn't violate Google's terms, I don't know if they will remove it.So as a business owner, you may know the reviewer and can ask them to help. Or you can Google them. But there doesn't seem to be a way to contact them thru Google Maps.
FIXED: Photoshop Brush Outline is Wrong Size (not Caps-Lock fix) Brightons Reviews and More 2023-03-15 | On my Mac, Photoshop was displaying the wrong size cursor for brush tools and erasers. So the edge of the circle is not the same as the place where the brush or eraser actually work. The painting or erasing was always in a smaller area inside the circle.The fix was easy - once I found it. So I'm sharing it in video format here for those following in my footsteps.This is NOT the fix where you change from a cross-hair to a circle by turning off caps lock. This is a different problem. And it's fixed by changing the settings on your Mac System.In Accessibility: Displays, you must set the cursor size to "normal."This is probably only a problem with "older" users as we are more likely to change the cursor size in the system.

WIFI Irrigation Controller: Rachio 3e Brightons Reviews and More 2021-09-20 | I have the Rachio 3e Smart Irrigation Controller installed at my vacation home in Mexico. amzn.to/3nPkxtH (my affiliate link.) I'm able to control 8 zones of drip irrigation from anywhere in the world using the iPhone app. My caretaker uses the Android app. I can control it from the Rachio website. And once in a while I even tell Amazon Alexa to start or stop the irrigation. And the system is all connected via WIFI.The 3e is a more affordable version of the Rachio 3. It can control up to 8 zones. Plus is can control a master valve and can have two sensors. In this video, I review my experience watering my yard.It knows what city I'm located in and will adjust the schedule monthly based on the average weather. And it will skip days when the forecast calls for rain. The Rachio 3 (amzn.to/2VWerw1) has more fine controls though, and I may have purchased that one instead. So do your research to determine which is best for you.It can control any type of irrigation (drip, sprinklers, etc.) But it is a professional solution - it doesn't just control your hoses. This is just the controller and you'll need actuators, etc for your irrigation system. But it should work with many different brands.If you're looking for the best sprinkler controller, the Rachio 3e may be for you.
Email Says Subscription is Renewed Scam Brightons Reviews and More 2021-09-02 | I've been getting emails saying that my Norton subscription will renew in 24 hours if I don't call them to cancel. And they provided a 1-800 number. So I called to see what the scam was. And it's definitely a scam.The guy who answered the phone (from the "cancellation department") was very nice and instructed me to download legitimate software from the Internet. However, installing the software would allow him to control my computer (allegedly so that he could uninstall the software) but clearly he would just install malware on my computer once he had control.I hate scammers like this. This is a rather convincing email because people often sign up for a subscription and want to cancel in the future so when they see this email, they think "oh - I forgot!" Don't fall for the scam. Delete the email.If you get strange charges on your credit card, call your credit card company. Believe it or not, they are on your side and will help you with fake charges.Don't ever allow someone to take control of your computer online unless you are positive it's a legitimate service.

It's easy!
Rover.com House Sitting Gone Bad Brightons Reviews and More 2021-07-30 | Looking for the truth about Rover.com house sitting service? Here's my warning. Check this review of my two bad experiences with their pet sitters. My situation was tame compared to what I've learned after this incident. Do your homework - here's an article to start: cnn.com/2021/07/30/tech/rover-pet-services-app-lost-dead-dogs/index.htmlThere are few bad pet sitting reviews on Rover.com, but if other clients are like us, they are afraid of retaliation from bad people that have had access to our house, know our address and patterns and know our pets. It's not a good idea to leave a bad review.On a recent long weekend trip, we hired a Rover.com house sitter who supposedly had 10 years of experience. Things went sideways before she even showed up when she tried to cancel 2 hours before her shift would start. Then she asked for money upfront. Neighbors reported hearing loud arguments with male voices inside our house. And neighbors told us that she wasn't spending the night like we had agreed on.Luckily our pets were OK when we came home. Our two dogs had pooped and peed all over our 100+ year old hardwood floors because she was there so seldomly. This is unheard of for our dogs. Luckily, the cats could go out their cat door.The previous Rover sitter had a naked hot tub party and another dog in our house. We saw that on a camera (that wasn't on when the second sitter was here.) I highly recommend cameras - just let the sitter know there are cameras. Here's the one I just purchased for any future pet sitting (which will only be with people we know.) amzn.to/3BV0ajzThis is the last time I will trust an online service like Rover.com with my pet's lives.#rover.com

Laser Level Alternative Brightons Reviews and More 2021-06-12 | You don't need to buy an expensive laser level tool. You can just use a plastic tube and some water like my architect is doing at my house in Mexico. amzn.to/3xgAeLV This is a 50 foot line, and note that you can move both ends if you need to move further than your original point. Also, these are affiliate links, so thank you for supporting my YouTube habit.This hose level is more accurate than laser levels, but note that you should keep the water at the same temperature across the entire tube (don't put one end in the sun and the other in the shade as this could impact accuracy.)And this alternative doesn't need any batteries and is nearly impossible to break. Plus it's fun and easy. And it's the best DIY laser level - and works better than the cheap laser levels and outdoors in the sun, it works better than the best laser levels.If you really like gadgets, you could buy this laser level amzn.to/2Tq3gtM, but you'll also need a laser detector to work in bright environments like the Mexican sun (amzn.to/3xiBtKw)
How to Make Words Appear as Spoken in Final Cut Pro Brightons Reviews and More 2021-06-10 | Make words appear on screen by popping up as the speaker says them with this technique in Final Cut Pro X.I haven't found a great method for making words appear exactly when they are spoken, but this method works pretty well for me. As soon as I finished editing this video, I thought "it would make even more sense to play the clip, pressing M when each word starts. Then just line up the keyframes with the marks." Bonus if you read descriptions.I find this method quicker than the method Emilio Takas uses in his video Popup Text Effect in Final Cut Pro X. Instead I use a mask and keyframes to animate the text.Be sure to use two keyframes for each word. One with the previous location and the next frame should have the new location of the mask. If you don't do this, the mask will morph from the last keyframe leading to a crappy look :-(Hopefully this helps you show text on screen while talking - editing with FCPX.
