I think it may depend on who you are using for DNS. It is not our DNS inside our complex, as I cannot get to it outside our complex either. I cannot log on over there even if I go to it via IP...

I cannot get to TBN today. Instead, I get this link:

DNS issues, perhaps?

Yeah, the amortization table is a real eye opener. On our first house the payments were about $250 per month for 30 years. That's 250 X 12 for a total of $3000.00 per year. Then you take 3000 X 30...

<font color="blue"> So does all this mean you're close to building </font color>

I think so. Time is right. Kids are out of day care so that means we can afford a mortgage(think I'm joking?...

When we first got married, our first house cost $20,000.00. All I remember is we had to pay 3 points to get the loan down to 12.5%! /forums/images/icons/shocked.gif We borrowed $18,000.00. If we...

<font color="blue"> I missed the picture where you actually had caught a mole. Which one is that?</font color>

Out of respect for the dead, I didn't take that photo.

Hey, great description. Thanks. I just can't seem to pull the plunger handle up far enough to get the latch latched. If there were some foot tabs or some way to hold it down with my feet while I...

Here's a link to some pictures of mole traps and setting them. I hope this helps those of us with mole troubles.

And this final picture is of grandpa's mole trap. I call it the Victor Plunger O Death trap. This is in the set position. Imagine the spikes over the tunnel and the trigger pan in the heel depression...

This is a picture of the Nash choker loop trap in the set position. Imagine that the loops are under ground and the trigger pan is in a depression made by my heel. The tunnel would pass through both...

This is a picture of the Nash choker loop trap in the sprung position.

Picture #10 shows an orange safety flag so someone doesn't mow over it or walk into it, etc... Also, If you have pets, dogs in particular, put a bucket or large plastice flower pot over it so the...

Picture #9 show the trap installed and the safety hook i the off position. At this point, the trap is ready and armed. If the mole comes from the left or right side of this picture, it will go...

Picture #8 shows me using the setting bars to push the trap in over the tunnel. I have rotated the trap 180 degrees so that the downslope of the trigger pan matches the downslope of my heelprint. I...

Picture #7 shows the trigger rod slipped into the trigger pan and the safety hook latched over the top of the trap. This is so that if you set it off while installing it into the tunnel, it won't cut...

In picture #6 I have squeezed the setting bars together to spring load the trap. At this point it takes a pretty good grip to hold the setting bars together. If you let it go, the trigger rod can...

Picture #5 shows the trap in the tripped condition, setting bars installed, safety hook off and the long rod is the trigger locking rod, which will hold the trap in the set postion later. This photo...

In picture #4 I have used a trowel to cut a slice across the tunnel on both sides of the trap.

In picture #3 you can see that my big feet make just the right impression to fit the trap over the tunnel.

In picture number 2 I stomp my heel into the tunnel. If I was prospecting for moles, I'd do this in several places along the tunnel. If it pops back up in 24-48 hours, it is an active tunnel. Since I...

There have been several discussions here and on TBN recently regarding moles and mole traps. Here's some pictures of the Victor Out O Sight mole trap and how to set it.

The first picture is of a...

Well, ain't that a hoot! The house I was describing is almost featured in today's South Bend Tribune. His dad's house is the feature home, and he lives right behind them. Both awsome houses.

Smarthome has many Leviton products that are X10 compatible. They are supposed to have a better 'feel' than the lower cost X10 branded switches.

I was at a house that had a big screen TV built...

This is probably a no brainer, but if you decide to build in your TV or entertainment center, try to leave an access for the wiring behind all the stuff. A rear door to an entertainment section is...

Rob,
Have you looked at the more expensive(read nicer with more features) X10 controls from Leviton? The "scene" lighting capabilites are nice and they are supposed to have a 'real' feel to the...
