This stuff works great for spot cleaning and this is good for carpet and cloth interiors all over.
Grab one of these next time you're at WalMart (Aisle 12, near the plastic horse dongs) and do it yourself- you'll save money over a professional detailer; you'll have the hardware to use elsewhere; and most importantly, you won't be that guy who drops off a spew-filled car and expects someone else to take care of it. There are a pile of auto detailing videos on youtube that give good tips and techniques. AmmoNYC and Car Cleaning Guru are where I'd start.
Seriously, why is this still an issue. Please, listen to me and you will never have an item stolen from your garage again..
here are my step to winning this war.
So this would be the easy way to do this, my setup is a little more complex but it works like this.
The wyze cam is in the corner of my garage and can see all doors and windows, when it senses movement the camera sends a notice to Ifttt.com which can then simply turn on the lights and I also have an old radio plugged into the smart switches in the on position and they get blasted with a loud radio.
​
In my case, I use the wyse to fire a trigger to the lights to alternate the light to blink red and blue, but you dont have to be that fancy as lights and loud AM talk radio will scare away most meth heads.
​
So for under $100 you can protect your property while you are away or sleeping.
​
Adding this part, I do not work for Wyze, I only use their products. but making this even easier for people is Wyse also makes lightbulbs and will soon be making switches that can trigger off movement in the camera.
Speaking of dash cam, I highly recommend this one! I've had it two years now and it works great, hot summer days and blistering cold winters. The quality is 1080p, front AND back at 30fps. But don't skimp on the memory card. I got this beauty and haven't had a complaint since my last card, which was cheaper, went out on it. The only issue is it will hold 10 hours of footage. But you see everything in these recordings!

Depending on server location I can be as fast as 220 down and 30 up
I pay for 200 Mbps connection about $85/mo. I usemy own equipment, including modem. That using 5GHz wireless. It's faster when networked.

I won't use Mediacom provided equipment.
Never hit the 2TB cap. Not even close. We stream exclusively and game. Even when the kids are home on holiday.
What is your data plan with Mediacom?
What is your budget for a new router?
Do you own a modem compatible with Mediacom? Or are you looking to buy a modem-router combo?
I’ve been using the ASUS RT-AC68U over the last year. I have it centrally located on the 1st floor. It provides excellent coverage to my basement and 2nd floor.
Note, you’ll need to pair this with a cable modem as it is not a modem-router combo. I pair mine with the NETGEAR CM1000.
I'm on the south side of Marion and have this one from Amazon mounted in my attic and ran to a splitter in the basement for the whole house. It's out of stock at the moment but it works great. From what I read, it is made by the smae people as the more expensive Mohu Sky models and branded for Amazon.
We also subscribe to SlingTV, Netflix, Amazon Prime and MLB.tv. I use SlingTV for ESPN and for Disney for the kids. I also use adfreetime so I can watch the Cardinals on MLB.tv without blackouts. I don't plan on getting cable or satellite ever again unless I move somewhere with terrible internet.
I'm also in the area and need glasses. It appears only the packs aren't sold out if you don't want to break the bank. If there is enough interest maybe I could buy this pack of 10 and then we could all split the cost for whoever is still looking?

Doing a little more research on actual certified vendors to see if that link is legit, but the offer would remain once we found a legit seller on amazon.

Pretty cheap, very useful. It's going to be hard for you to just anecdotally measure. And your property manager is more likely to listen if you send in a problem stating "the fridge is averaging X kwh a day, which is Y kwh over what the manufacturer says is it's normal operating time"
Most places in town with a sauna or pool will run you at least $40 a month. I opted for a cheaper gym membership and bought this portable sauna off Amazon - https://amzn.to/2zqbzsQ. Works really well.
Fake cameras - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=face+security+cameras+outdoor&crid=1LEQNNJ5AUEAL&sprefix=fake+sec%2Caps%2C177&ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_1_8
With some "smile you're on camera" signs. I've done this and no issues in years.
​
But if you are looking for real, just get a set like this (wireless) - https://www.amazon.com/HeimVision-Surveillance-Weatherproof-Detection-Monitoring/dp/B07RKJDK65/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=security+cameras&qid=1566830567&s=gateway&sr=8-4. Would take a couple hours to setup yourself.
I live out by Urbana and we dropped our DirecTV back in August. I picked up this antenna:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WWKZU42
I placed it in my attic and have had great reception with it. I can even pick up several stations from Quad Cities and Des Moines even.
I do have the advantage of living on top of a hill in the country with very few trees around, but I would expect you'd have no problem picking up the main local channels in Cedar Rapids.
I like the fact that it is omni-directional since the antennas in our area are scattered all over the place.
Go with ImOn. Buy this modem in advance for $20 shipped so you aren't paying $10/month rent:
