Honestly, I couldn't tell you. Whatever was on sale at the time @ Home Depot. Whatever brand it is, it does the job.

Thread revival!
I've recently completed a couple real easy projects around the house. One was a nightstand at my wife's request. I built one for her side of the bed, and I'm currently working on one for my side. Here's the end result....
I wish she would have picked a different color of stain, because it doesn't do the wood grain any justice IMO. Still think it turned out OK though.
Also, when I'm out in the garage on a nice day, I like to have it opened up, including the man door on the back that leads to the back yard. Well my dog also likes to spend time outside, so I figured I would build a gate for the garage opening so I can still leave both doors open while the dog is out back. It's just a single car garage, so I got a 4x8 sheet of lattice and built a cedar frame. Here's what I came up with....
Then I modified it, so it was more of a gate. It's now MUCH easier to pass through.....
It's secured by these eye hooks, which work well enough. I can set it up or remove it in seconds.

Working on Version 4 of my personal weather station.
Same sensors as my version 3, but a bigger display and more friendly microcontroller.
Going to 3D print the enclosure for it.
SD cards to illustrate size.

The self made weather station. I took the easy way out and bought one years ago. It would be much more satisfying to have actually created one. Every completed DIY project comes with huge satisfaction imo.
This is my 4th one. They have gotten progressively smaller. Version 3 is in an electrical box and faceplate. Version 4 will be about 3/4 that size with a 3-D printed shell.
Right now i'm 3D printing a business card stand/base.

I'm curious, is it a Raspberry Pi project? It looks like something I might want to try.
Arduino Pro Mini. I have several Rpi projects in progress as well.

I'm so old, Some of these are still used...

That's quite the collection - I'm trying to decide which one you still use...

The Boric acid. It leaves quite the tingling sensation that lasts for quite some time...!

Not getting a lot of time to work on projects these days but I finally got around to working on a corner in the basement where a pellet stove sits. I'm going to grout and reset the stove tomorrow.

Wall finished and grouted. Tile set. Pellet stove back in place. Still have some trim work to complete but the project is almost complete.

Thanks much. It was just a precursor to a much larger stone wall project that I plan on starting before Christmas.
I built a bit of cedar fence in the past week. 64 linear feet, steel poles, PT stringers. I'll post a pic when I get a new photo hosting website.
