This weekend we replaced our WiFi Video Doorbell with a Reolink PoE model (I love PoE!). Also got a nice escutcheon and made a custom mount for the camera, fits our 'modern Arts and Crafts' home style. It all works and looks great, good camera and picture, clean install, very reliable signal, and one less WiFi device! So for this thread:* New Reolink PoE Video Doorbell * New custom escutcheon * New splice boxes … but wait there’s more … A bit of a DIY here too, including:* Extend an abandon CAT 5 cable with a splice to a CAT 6 pigtail, and terminate the other end on the patch panel (got a half dozen of these splice kits for other similar projects). * Used a RJ45 shorting plug I built a while back to check continuity and resistance on older wires and splices. * Drill through the escutcheon’s metal plate and slate for the CAT 6 cable. I had never drilled slate before, it’s much softer than I expected, a masonry bit made short work of it. * Cut and paint a backing board to get the camera away from the wall a bit, improving the viewing angle. * Mount it all to the wall, and add it to our camera stable in the (Blue Iris) NVR. The splice ... ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/eStEnWyAhtkkZIog0IZU.png) The tester ... ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/dSlJsmJRagKAqNQakUZa.png) ... almost there ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/LFSMmAbMOu0GFmmTbdUJ.png) ... all done! ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/D0RVxNDHzXyXLVfocpDo.png) Welcome!

My latest purchase...a trip to Costa Mesa, California to join my wife after she wrapped up working costumes/wardrobe for the Disney touring version of Aladdin. My gypsy is done travelling for a while, so...Disneyland, sunsets off the left coast, and some drives up and down the coast to come! A good purchase. Hopefully whale watching and a drive down to Laguna tomorrow for some amazing food with an ocean view. ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/ByRQoJreyObbnJtUwpN0.png) ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/gILfiQglFVmcSynfAcvI.png) Of course, the gypsy already has plans to work at home on the Cincinnati Opera a week after she's home. She just loves her work! Mark

I've been wanting/needing a worthy bike work stand for awhile now, so after a complete debacle purchase from my local REI of an entry level Park Tool repair/work stand, REI.com has made good on a bad customer experience and offered me a substantial deal/discount on the top line portable team issue repair stand, Park Tool PRS-25. I'll be using it for repairs/upgrades/washing of my titanium Litespeed bikes. www.parktool.com/en-us/product/team-issue-repair-stand-prs-25?category=Portable![](https://www.parktool.com/assets/img/product/_productDetail/PRS-25_003.jpg)

View AttachmentI was running 4 of the 6SN7 GTB, then I seen one reviewer dude was running the I believe the stock tubes on the left side and the GTB on the right, but you are doing the opposite, I find it better now with the stock tubes on the left and GTB's on the right, man this is getting confusing lol I'll snap a pic when I get home to show you how mine are plugged in ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)

View AttachmentI currently have the JJ 6SN7 on the left and the Baldwin 6SN7 GTB on the right View AttachmentYou have it correct... but there is nothing wrong in swapping them and see which you prefer. I found the left pair affected bass and the right side affected the soundstage, vocals and highs. If I remember correctly, my preference was GEs or Tungsol on the left with the Baldwins and ultimately the Treasures on the right. Just remember, it all depends on your preference and let your ears decide that. My 2 channel journey with details of my tube rolling can be found here... good luck and have fun... any questions, feel free to send me a PM. emotivalounge.proboards.com/thread/57382/heading-back-2-channel

We never put a roof vent in the garage, I’ve regretted it when working there on hot summer days, but now we have a couple cats living in the attic there, so … a solar roof vent! ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/LtBWgWlWmTkTRJDcNafr.png) Thanks dad! ![](//storage.proboards.com/1381179/thumbnailer/CIN0yqkKPcTLadABGIFy.png)

View AttachmentThanks dad! View AttachmentInteresting. I’ve never seen one like that. I had a “Quiet Cool” system in my last house that worked quite well. Although it wasn’t quiet.
