Youtube is probably the best resource. There's a lot of great channels out there with how to's and everything you need to know about woodworking. Here are some of the main ones I've been following for a few years now....in no particular order. 731 Woodworks, Bent's Woodworking & More, Bourbon Mot...

I was more so asking about pulling 800 ft of cable through the conduit....I've used a trencher before so I'm not too concerned about that. Can it be done by hand or do you need to get some sort of mechanical puller?...

[quote]Unless there is a huge price jump somewhere in the count of strands, do at least 12 if not 24 strand and get some patch panels. Running it in conduit makes this less of an issue but if anything gets direct buried, have as many spare and unused fibers as you can.[/quote] Just so I understan...

[quote]OP - If any existing switches have SFP ports, those can be used in place of media converters. All that matters is that the SFP modules on either end of any 1 fiber match. You can have a module at 1 end plugged in to a SFP port in a media converter and at the other end a module plugged in to a...

Thanks for comments...much appreciated. I'm thinking I'll need 6 media converters and 3 separate lines of fiber as well as an ethernet switch. The long line would be 800 ft in conduit, and the other two lines would be around 300-400 ft....probably in conduit but might direct bury. If you or someone ...

This will probably be a long post so bear with me. Our ISP wanted an obscene amount of money to run service to our house. So instead, we had them put the service in a outbuilding at the bottom of our hill. We currently have power in the outbuilding along with Spectrum's modem/router. Right now we ar...

We just had a NG 20kw Kohler installed last November. Our house is about 2800 square ft and the ac is a similar size. The connections are right by the unit and we spent 12k all in. Turns on within 10 seconds of the power going out. It's great....

My porch ceiling is tongue and groove pine that needs refinished. I'm painstakingly sanding it down to prep it for a clear coat. Any recommendations on what I should use?
