u/lizzi00 · 3 pointsr/hamsters

Love her color makes her look like a teeny Syrian! She’s a dwarf so I don’t think I need to say anything about a wheel just don’t go super tiny. Make sure she has a proper size cage. Big cages are the best make sure its atleast 24” length 12” width and 12” height. Clear bins are good for you too see her I’d recommend! Cut holes in her lit so she can breath and can’t escape, either cut 60+ half an inch holes or cut a big square off the lid (if you have a cat or curious dog do the hole lid) do not use pine or cedar bedding. Any paper bedding is good I recommend carefresh (Cheaper on Amazon) do not use mesh wheels!!! Your ham will get hurt and get bumble feet not good. No bathing in water. It’s not necessary but it’s highly recommend to get sand for your hamster to bathe in, she’ll either roll around in it herself or you can hold her and give her a sand bath. I like most plastic wheels, wouldn’t recommend wooden wheels for a dwarf since my friend has a wooden wheel for her ham and he can’t even move it so she had to pay for a plastic one. Chews are good for her teeth so they don’t grow too long. Clip her nails if you can, if you can’t go to a vet when you notice them getting long. Plastic tubes and empty paper tubes are good boredom breakers. Clean the cage fully once a month with a one part water one part vinegar solution and change the bedding monthly. Lastly a hideout so she can scurry away. I’ll leave some links, good luck!

DON'T HINGE IT. Trust me, read, I'll explain.

Here's what you do. Get a good 8' by 4' piece of whatever you want. MDF is fine. Get it with a good finish on it.

Cut two 3 foot wide sections. Now you have two 4' by 3' sections. When placed together, it's a 4' by 6' table which is your bare minimum that you want. Once you mark off your 3' by 6' area (or place a mat down) then you will have 6 inches of space on either side of the playing area for your cards, etc.

On the underside of the table top you are building, secure some bumpers that allow you to line up the table top to the table you are setting it on (screw in some small pieces of wood). I suggest 3 per half, so you can slide the table on or set it on gently. Then secure 2 window locks to secure to two top sections together. The small little flip locks are perfect for this. Now you can lay two separate table toppers on using the bumpers to line them up, then secure them with the window locks. The entire thing will be very snug this way and will NOT shift.

If you want to get fancy (like I did), you can use the remaining 4' by 2' section on the end to have a flip up extra space area. I attached 1 foot sections to each side. So the tabletop sits on the table all the time (for the most part), but I fold the wings down. When I'm using the table, I pull the wings out and they snap into place. Use REALLY good restaurant table hinges for this. The ones that fold into a 1/4 circle when folded up, but then extend into 2 intersecting half circles when extended. I use two for each flap, but 1 is probably good enough if you are only doing 1 foot sections. If you want a bigger table without the flaps, just cut the 8x4 into 2 sections.

Why should you not hinge it? Because a piece of plywood is like 65 pounds. Add hinges, pumpers, and other hardware and you have a gigantic, hinged, 70 pound table topper that is a pain in the arse to pack install, remove, pack away, etc, even with help. It will be nearly impossible alone. Were if you leave them unhinged and just have them connect with window locks, you have 2, smaller, more manageable sized pieces that you just hook together.

window latch: https://www.amazon.com/Prime-Line-Products-2620-Spring-Action/dp/B00DS4D5UM/ref=sr_1_7?keywords=window+latch&qid=1550700170&s=gateway&sr=8-7

table hinges for wings: https://www.amazon.com/Table-Hinge-And-Leaf-Support/dp/B0006L39JC

My table is two 4'x3' segments with 3 bumpers. Connected with the window latches underneath. This makes standard 6'x4' table. Each large segment has a wing that can be pulled out that locks into place. that provides more space for dice, measuring tools, a larger playing area, etc.

It takes 5 minutes top to get it out of the closet, set it up on the table and lock it into place all by myself.

I coated the entire top with a textured coating of black plastidip (although any kind of spray truck bed liner or flexiseal or whatever would work). I painted the sidelines, and painted very subtle deployment lines. Then I splatter painted with a wire brush to create a colorful cluster of stars. It looks awesome, and any game mat you put on it won't budge at all due to the texture. It's also easy to handle and put away/deploy.

u/Astramancer_ · 5 pointsr/legaladvice

Regarding personal security, window locks are all and good, but be sure to get security film as well. It's surprisingly cheap (dunno how good this brand is, but 30 inches by 6.5 feet for $40)

A good security film goes on clear, or close enough and makes it dramatically more difficult to break the glass. It's not the end-all be-all, of course, but it should buy you more time if he goes full psycho and tries to break in.

And if there's any chance at all that he has a key to your place, rekey. Replacing locks is easy and relatively inexpensive.

u/mr1337 · 7 pointsr/homedefense

Actual bullet-proof glass is expensive and probably has to be professionally installed. Even so, bullets will still go through exterior walls and drywall quite easily.

My first suggestion if you truly fear for your family's safety is to move. I know you said the property has been in the family for a very long time, but you should ask yourself it the property is worth a family member dying - if that's what you really think would happen if you stayed.

My second suggestion if you can't afford the stiff bill for the bulletproof glass - is to add some basic fortification to the home to prevent unauthorized entry. A door jamb reinforcement kit and some window security film will go a long way for preventing access to anyone trying to break in. A firearm (or a few) is a must if allowed in your jurisdiction. Just make sure everyone gets some safety training if they're not familiar with guns. Another thing to look into is a monitored alarm. Dogs are also great deterrents and alerts.

My point here is, it's much more effective use of your money fortifying and securing your home than it is to try to make it bulletproof. Unless you are very wealthy, that is going to break the bank. Go browsing around the subreddit and read some wiki articles to get more ideas on fortification and what other people have done.

u/antarcticgecko · 4 pointsr/homesecurity

I’m no expert, but I have these items and they make me feel a little safer. They’re well reviewed and won’t break the bank. Not sure how management will feel about installing hardware if it’s a rental but they may allow it given that someone broke in.

Additionally, your local police department may run safety seminars about how to secure your home against this sort of thing. Mine does.

And of course Wyze cams which may be good for your peace of mind, $25 each. Be safe.

u/zombienoms · 1 pointr/cosplay

I have no idea what they are specifically or if there's a proper name/designation for them but looking at the picture I offer my best guesstimates as to what you could use as a solution


Clip rings: with these I figure maybe a small incision along the collar line that you stick them through so the clip "mouth" faces out (instead of the back part that's the V which could be hidden inside the coat or lining)

I know you said you didn't think it was a zipper but looking at the picture I think maybe you could use one? though you could take off the zipper slide
So just in case you go that way

In the world of zippers I also found these top pieces (which seem to be clips for the bottom/top of zippers to act as stoppers)
Size option A
Size option B These seem like you could get use out of them, they come in packs of 10 so buy a bunch and then I think you could clip them on tightly to the fabric)

Since all the things are silver you could I'm use just weather/paint them a bit to get the match to the brass/gold in the picture. Like I said I have no solid idea of what they are but best estimate as to how you could do it this is what I offer

u/ares_god_of_pie · 2 pointsr/baseballcards

Thanks!

The display doesn't get any direct (or really, indirect) exposure to sunlight. There's a window facing the case, but it's always completely blocked with cellular blinds, so no sunlight.

I just now did a bit of research after you asked, and it does seem like there is still some longterm risk with other indirect sources of UV light. This article is pretty informative:

https://www.cardboardconnection.com/ultra-pro-uv-protection-guide

One option seems to be the UV rated holders. But for graded cards in slabs, the UV protected holders obv won't work, so perhaps something like this could work as well:

https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Protection-Window-Film-Wide/dp/B004JAW3KW

Any ideas or insight on how we can better protect from light exposure?

u/yacht_boy · 5 pointsr/HomeImprovement

If the ceiling is dry and firm (not wet, no soft spots), you should be able to just put up new drywall right over it, then paint it. There are lots of videos on youtube. If the ceiling is wet you need to rip it out and stop the leaks from the roof, then put up new drywall and paint.

If the walls are wet all the time, you need to figure out how to fix that. If they put masonry waterproofing on the outside, you could try to put more of that on the outside. You can also look for any cracks that might let water in and try to seal them up, or look for roof leaks. And look for where the water goes when it rains - you want the water to go away from the house, so you might need to work on drainage or other issues. If it is just condensation, you can run an air conditioner or dehumidifer to help with that.

You need to train your dog so she isn't freaking out when you aren't around. Look up "separation anxiety" for tips. Otherwise, put some bars over the inside of the the window so she can't break it.

For the walls, once you figure out the moisture issues you can decide what to do. You might just be able to put a nice bright white paint over the existing surface. Adding some baseboard might dress it up a little bit.

Also, put a nice light fixture in the ceiling and some bright light bulbs in it with a dimmer switch. That will help a lot. You can also get some floor or table lamps for softer light.

Good luck and have fun!

u/ArizonaLad · 8 pointsr/HomeImprovement

This is just from an old renovator. Please take it for what it's worth.....

I have nothing but the highest respect for the eggheads at UMASS Amherst, but real world installations will almost certainly fall below the targeted goals.

I have opened up more walls with blown-in insulation than I can count, and in every single instance there was a void at the top due to settling. Some of the voids were between a foot and two feet wide. Now maybe the 4.5 pound per cubic foot density will alleviate that, but I personally doubt it. None of the installers that I've ever met weigh the product as it gets blown into a cavity. And they don't use a flexible rod to mechanically pack the product down. They get paid by the job, not the hour. They blow and go.

The lofty goals of increased air sealing, zero settling, and better sound control is nice, but in reality will not be easily done, nor will it be measurable. All it takes for a poor air seal is for an interior outlet to not have an envelop around it, especially if it is opposite an exterior outlet. There are special electrical boxes to address this issue, but you don't have any:

http://www.alliedmoulded.com/go/energy

you can seal them with spray foam:

http://www.coupons4lv.com/uploads/1/6/6/4/1664982/9637161_orig.jpg

you can use foam gaskets:

https://www.amazon.com/Duck-283333-Sealers-Variety-Decorative/dp/B0040JH21W

You should also caulk along the seams of the sheetrock where it meets the other walls, the floor, and the ceiling. The floor joints are the worst culprit. I've had some that were so bad the wind whistling through would blow out a candle.

To get to zero settling, I see no way to accomplish that without mechanical compaction. Areas that often get less densely packed are the parts of the void below the electrical wiring. A dam can be created between the sheetrock and 12/2, giving the impression that the void is filled. Yet it is mostly air under the wiring. Sometimes you need to force it past the electrical cable with something rigid, like a thin fiberglass pole.

And there are WAY better options for sound control than blown-in. Try a few experiments with your fake wall with no insulation, loose fill, and dense packed. There will not be a great difference.

In short, doing the best you can is your goal. The lofty goals of the UMASS experts are nice, but not likely achievable in the real world.

u/7thAndGreenhill · 3 pointsr/homeowners

Visible camera's are a good deterrent but not a guarantee. A hoody and bowed head are all anyone needs to ensure their face is hidden on video.

I live near a methadone clinic. Unfortunately we have a lot of break-ins in our neighborhood. Addicts don't follow typical logic so we used several things to secure our property.

We use Xfinity home for our security. I didn't want a DIY as I wanted a system that is monitored and will call the police directly. I only have them monitoring our doors and windows. However, I think SimpliSafe is just as good and will likely switch to them after our 2 year deal with Xfinity expires.

I have my own cameras with Zmodo (you can buy on Amazon). For $49/year per camera I get 24/7 recording and cloud storage for up to 7 days. The cameras only require a power source.

We have 100 watt exterior lights on 24/7. This is probably the most effective and has kept our cars safer than our neighbors without lights.

We have a set of windows in the backyard to our basement that were vulnerable. So we added window bars from Amazon. If someone smashes the window, they'll still have to work to get in.

u/bebetta · 2 pointsr/Pets

This removable screen did the trick for me. You can leave a cat-sized gap to one side and use clear plastic as a flap. I found a thick, clear, flexible plastic at a home store for a couple of dollars. I sliced that into strips and hung them from the top of a frame made from a thin wood strip (you could use a yardstick for that). The edges of the screen are wood, so tacking my extra frame to the side was easy. The strips hang like the flaps at a car wash, slightly overlapping.

I'm sure there are other ways to make one of these work, depending on the size of the screen you order and the width of your window.

*The plastic I found was a clear sink liner, so it has enough weight and cling to usually fall back flush without leaving large gaps. I think something more lightweight would move too much in a breeze. I also have a super-small, but powerful metal-bladed fan clipped to the window frame to blow away mosquitoes and gnats if they approach the window. It does a remarkably good job of keeping them out.

u/pooinetopantelonimoo · 1 pointr/Green

No problem, I'm happy to help, ambiguous packaging like this really annoys me.

EDIT:
OK I think I've solved this,

I looked on amazon.com and found curtain rings matching your pictures here It looks like they are nickel plated, and according to the Agency for toxic substances and Disease
>"The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that nickel metal may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen and that nickel compounds are known human carcinogens"

So in conclusion it appears that these rings are nickel plated and that since they are a moving part (i.e. curtains drawn repeatedly) there is a potential of creating Nickle dust which is considered by the OEHHA to be a carcinogen (which is why it has the warning).

My opinion on this matter is that you should return them or throw them away and get some wood or steel ones.

Thank you for the Gold whoever gave me it!

u/KatelynFit · 4 pointsr/TropicalWeather

I know of two, purchasable options that exist:

​

Security window film on the inside of windows - won't stop glass from breaking, but will control glass particles and could prevent something like a branch breaking all the way through the glass: https://www.amazon.com/Security-Window-Film-Wide-Roll/dp/B004LDBPY2

​

Hurricane clips exist, which let you place plywood in the window casing without drilling (not an option on all window types, but pretty great if it works for your space): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014PYV0P0/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_AlBADbHFM1CCB

u/hesiii · 4 pointsr/Ultralight

Given that this is an UL forum, we might mention that in addition to costing a fraction of the manufacturer footprint, a footprint made of polycryo or tyvek will weigh a fraction as much. You can buy a polycryo sheet for less than $10 that will give enough material for two footprints at less than 2oz each. That compares to the Passage 2 manufacturer footprint at $30 and 8.2 oz. ( https://www.amazon.com/Shrink-Window-Insulation-Picture-Windows/dp/B00PCHY4VM ) People in this forum are generally in favor of paying more money to get less weight, not paying more to have more weight. ;)

These things are not rocket science. All you "need" (and you probably don't really need that) is a rectangular sheet that you place under your tent. Done. People have gone entire thru-hikes (i.e., over 100 nights) with a single polycryo groundsheet. Why would you bother using something heavier? Grommets and use of rainfly on its own is potentially a reason, but (1) few people ever do that, the people purchasing a tent are not usually the people who also like sleeping without an inner-tent to protect them from bugs and critters, and (2) a polycryo sheet is so cheap you might as well have one for the vast majority of your trips when you're using both inner-tent and rainfly. Or, just go without a groundsheet at all; the floors in most tents are strong enough by themselves -- unless you're often camping on sharp rocks or needled plants -- and even then repairing a small poke through is not a big deal.

u/drnick5 · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

As many have said, you need to find out here the drafts are coming form, walking around the house with incense is a great idea as someone else posted.

I know you said you have all new windows, but check around the window sills. Its very possible the window itself is fine, but it wasn't sealed properly when installed.

Check all of your electrical outlets and power switches. something like these Outlet Sealers would probably help. they are cheap and easy to install. I installed them in my house and noticed a difference in how draft it felt.

u/SainguinKrist · 2 pointsr/Construction

I have an Allway glass scraper, I've been using it for everything since I've got it.

Cleaning putty knives, cleaning plasterweld off tile, paint off glass, whatever. It's pretty damn nice. Just don't make any sharp turns with it and you're solid.

Amazon link for one if that's allowed:

EDIT: Kinda funny to see Goof Off here today, I spent the better part of my afternoon cleaning up after the other maintenance crew's sloppy work. They stained a floor and then painted the ceiling, getting paint everywhere. Fun stuff.

u/RikerOmega3 · 3 pointsr/DesignMyRoom

ditch the curtain and do something like this on the window

Its really simple if you get a window kit. You clean the window, spray it down with soapy water, then peel the clear film off the back of the window film (think peeling the white paper off sticky velcro) then use the squeegy to flatten out all the bubbles

You don't need a curtain by using this, and nobody can see it. Right away this will make the room feel larger cus you don't have a dark curtain in the way.

My next suggestion would be to find a crafty person who can sew and have them hem a shower curtain so it doesn't drag the floor.

The register in the floor could be replaced with a decorative metal version in stainless steel...and it would end up looking like a drain.

As for color, I think a nice light blue grey would work.

u/hadtoomuchtodream · 1 pointr/longbeach

Did the thief actually break the window glass? There's stuff you can get called security film to protect glass windows.

One thing I do is use a bar of some sort that makes it so my windows can't open, like this.

My heart really goes out to you, and I know how violated something like this can make you feel. I highly recommend speaking with a counselor or therapist. Also see if any friends would be willing to stay with you at your apartment to help you feel safe and get some sleep.

u/raskus · 7 pointsr/homedefense

Honestly, it is completely unreasonable for the landlord to expect you to live with this. The situation creates risk around the clock. Risk to your person (especially when sleeping), your belongings, and your sense of security. I don't know where you are, but in my state there are very specific laws about how many/what types of locks must be on entry doors. Violation of these laws is actually considered justification for terminating the lease (in my state). Please look into your local rental laws. I know it can be uncomfortable pushing for your rights with a landlord, but this one is important. If she is unwilling to fix something so obviously inconvenient/dangerous, what will she do when the roof starts leaking or the heat stops working?

That being said, these exist. They are a minimal solution. However, as you seem to have an unreasonable landlord, I would caution you not to drill any holes yourself. You do not want to be on the hook for a botched job or a hole on the exterior of the door if/when she gets around to reversing it. Good luck OP, I hope you can get this worked out.

u/Heatherdoesstuff · 1 pointr/BabyBumps

I am so sorry! We had a break in right after we closed on our house. Thankfully we hadn’t moved much in, but I totally understand that feeling of being violated.

We got ADT and Ring doorbell and flood lights. We’ve been very happy with ADT, we installed Ring ourselves.

We also got window and door bullies that I highly recommend. Links below:

If you are just leaving the window open, and you don't have built in screen windows, try something like this -an adjustable window screen. Just make sure there are no gaps for them to crawl in. Be sure to check around for any other possible cracks or gaps they come thru and you should be ok.

I bought these and even though I only have 2 out of the three windows covered, I have been sleeping better. I don't know how dark it gets because my bathroom doesn't have a door so I get light coming through there. Only big issue I have is that my room gets really hot now if I keep my door closed. It might be better when I finally get the last window covered.

Then add the following physical security measures. use a door like this https://www.homedepot.com/p/32-in-x-80-in-6-Panel-Primed-Premium-Steel-Front-Door-Slab-THDJW166100315/202036384 for all exterior doors , just measure your door and order the correct size. Then add this lock https://www.amazon.com/Medeco-11TR50319-Residential-Restricted-Different/dp/B00E3FJQSA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524545911&sr=8-1&keywords=medeco+maxum+11603 and this frame reinforcement https://www.amazon.com/gp/huc/view.html?ie=UTF8&newItems=C2ae929ab-95e4-41e5-9003-f5dfdccf8fa0%2C1 with 3 inch security screws. Then repeat on your bedroom , and possibly your en suite bathroom. Add Window film like this https://www.amazon.com/S8MC-Window-Security-Safety-Clear/dp/B00FRLJU0I/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1525334252&sr=8-5&keywords=bdf+film if you can afford it.

There is UV window film like this one. Every year as summer rolls around and I feel like I'm being steamed alive I reconsider buying some ...

u/Exaskryz · 0 pointsr/LifeProTips

You can go one step further. There are small portable/external (for lack of a better word) window screens that you can put a laptop on to elevate it and give even better ventilation underneath.

10", 15", or 18" high on this particular amazon listing so you can fit it to your laptop's size.

Looks like they are pretty readily available at a wide variety of places.

You don't have to permanently install something.

I have a cat and I hate getting bitten by insects since half my arm swells up, and I like having no screens in windows otherwise (sticking my head out), so I just picked up a few of http://www.amazon.com/Thermwell-Products-AWS1537-15x21-37-Screen/dp/B002SBEG1S/

My cat isn't really interested in them because it's a small opening (and usually covered by blinds too), but it's big enough that there's decent airflow. The only improvement I'd make is maybe gluing some kind of strip on the top edge because there may be a small gap between the window and the frame.

You can't prevent a cat from ripping the mesh and getting out, but otherwise it's not too bad.

u/SolusOpes · 5 pointsr/preppers

Buy clear Security film from Amazon.

Remove when you leave.

The stuff on Amazon isn't the most amazing stuff. But it's still quite good. But since you rent there's no point in having the top shelf stuff professionally installed.

u/AbsolutelyPink · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Yep, they can be removed. If you're strong, you lift the door up and out.

One way to prevent this is pin locks https://www.amazon.com/55201-Window-Guard-Sliding-Windows/dp/B0036UFTVQ/ref=asc_df_B0036UFTVQ/

u/sepiolida · 1 pointr/Goldfish

We used this to get paint off the sides of our tank (it was a craigslist purchase, think it was originally for glo-fish as it came with neon plastic plants & blue light and all sides but the front were painted black) and it was really effective.

u/SuperAlloy · 3 pointsr/boston

Socket sealers (in addition to child safety plugs) work really well on any outlets that happen to be on exterior walls.

u/snow_leopard77 · 8 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

If you don't want to bother with sunscreen and you're concerned about aging, it's not a bad idea to buy a UV-blocking window film just for that one window. They're fairly cheap and easy to put on. Amazon even sells a roll for $30.

u/McFeely_Smackup · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Yes, you can buy window film that's like what they use to tint car windows, but is completely clear and blocks UV.

What was the wrench for?

I would need a drill for the screw holes into the window sash...

Anyway, it also helps to have a second pair of hands.

When I did use A/C or put one in for someone else I would put these things.

Takes some of weight of bracket and window sill and resists somebody trying to open the window.


And in fairness to the OP not everyone is handy. We all have different experiences, interests and thing we are proficient in.

u/Yago20 · 2 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Yes, there is! I used to be subscribed to a subreddit for home Security and I'll be damned if I can find it from my mobile. A quick Amazon search found this.

u/CryptoMaximalist · 0 pointsr/videos

Not all entryways have windows, such as apartment buildings. Windows and doorwalls can also have security film to hold together like windshields https://www.amazon.com/Security-Window-Film-Wide-Roll/dp/B004LDBPY2 You could also of course install bars over the window or door if needed

Lastly, there are glass break alarms via sensors on the glass or sonic sensors which detect the sound. These are a solid deterrent

u/sgtsnyder88 · 1 pointr/homedefense

Well, security in general doesn't have to be expensive. For example you can get some window track clamps ( https://www.amazon.com/Lot-Pcs-Sliding-Window-Lock/dp/B00K7IGKV8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480886129&sr=8-2&keywords=window+lock ) for pretty cheap and that's at least something.


And that configuration wouldn't be out of the question, but typically the door and frame are made of the same material because they're purchased and installed together at the same time.

u/KEMiKAL_NSF · 3 pointsr/homesecurity

https://www.amazon.com/Security-Window-Film-Wide-Roll/dp/B004LDBPY2

Get yourself some window security film. My buddy who used to be a thief said it is the best cheapest most obvious thing that people never think of.

u/Ristake · 1 pointr/hometheater

Do you care about them being cloth or on a curtain rod?

Could always go vinyl

https://www.amazon.com/BlackoutEZ-Window-Cover-Large-Black-x/dp/B006S65GAE

They also do custom sizes https://blackoutez.com/Custom-Size-Window-Blackout-Shades

u/LolaBleu · 41 pointsr/TooAfraidToAsk

Definitely take the precautions that others are recommending. And invest in some window locks and a door wedge alarm.

u/genericwhitemale72 · 5 pointsr/autism

You can buy these locks that prevent the window from being opened wide enough for someone to fit through:

u/I-love-big-kitties · 12 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

If you're really paranoid about the sun, you can always put on a clear UV film on your skylight so you can still enjoy it. There are lots of them available, the one I linked to is just the first one that popped up.

u/sirsnafu · 13 pointsr/homeowners

There could be poorly insulated power sockets and light switches that are allowing air to move through the walls. These are little insulated pads that you put behind your light switch plates/sockets and it may help, at the very least you'll have fewer spots for drafts.

http://www.amazon.com/Duck-283333-Sealers-Variety-Decorative/dp/B0040JH21W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1419703715&sr=8-1&keywords=light+switch+insulation

That is just one brand but it gets the idea across. Your local hardware store will have more options.

u/Zirillian · 1 pointr/gpumining

These work well for me as a barrier in my window. Not sure how good it would be at capturing the dust you describe, but I have a giant 20" house fan as an exhaust pulling heat from the rig out of my house, and air flows through it just fine.

Looks like it does. You'd have to find a corresponding site from the UK, but it exists.

u/Yortisme · 2 pointsr/funkopop

I found this on Amazon.

u/Ender06 · 21 pointsr/tifu

I used to do maintenance at a couple medium sized hotels, get a big bag of DE (diatomaceous earth) and a squirt bottle thing (usually comes in a kit with the DE if you're getting a bed bug kit) and spray it EVERYWHERE in every nook and cranny (bed, couch, cushions, corners of floors/carpet/walls), also spray in your car, everywhere, make the cops who pull you over think you're a coke dealer with parkinsons.

Run all of your clothes and couch cushion covers ect in HOT water. And dry on HIGH heat. Bed bugs don't deal well with heat, granted your clothes may shrink...

I've spoken to many pest control people (guests will bring them in) we take a nuke everything/salted earth approach to confirmed reports of bedbugs. They will usually hide near wherever they are going to feed. So bed, couch, etc, anywhere you might be sitting for a long period of time.

They normally don't move from wherever they set up their home (a particular corner of the bed frame etc) until they get crowded out.
Depending on which side your neighbor is, line the common wall with DE as a precaution, also if you do share a common wall with her unit, get those outlet/switch cover gaskets and install them under the coverplates. (I woulnd't spray DE into the outlet boxes, DE itself isn't conductive, but it will pull moisture out of the air, and become conductive overtime).

u/daydreamingofsleep · 16 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

Situation sucks. Be sure to advise your landlord that your screen and blinds need repaired, and that the neighbor was the one who damaged them. Landlord should hassle him about it. Also, call the cops every time something happens. I know it seems like an annoyance, but this guy needs a history so the cops will be more aggressive.

Consider a camera like the Logitech circle 2 (costs a bit to purchase, but you don’t have to pay a monthly subscription fee.) It can be put in a window looking outside, so he’d have to bust the window to break the camera.

Also, if you want to be able to crack your windows a tad without worrying about creeper pulling them open more, get some of these.

u/castor281 · 2 pointsr/DIY

This is a similar idea if you can find the exact size you need.

If not they can make one with a heavy black cloth cut to fit inside the window frame with velcro on the window frame so it's removable.

u/tazer84 · 1 pointr/DIY

Why not use a sliding door rail with a lock?

u/penguincandy · 3 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Have you added insulation to the outlets and light switches? These little gaskets are cheap and they reduced our power bill by about 10%. Paid for itself the first month. https://www.amazon.com/Duck-Sealers-Variety-Decorative-283333/dp/B0040JH21W/

u/Cake_is_not_a_lie · 3 pointsr/amiibo

Plastic tends to yellow over time, you might consider buying a UV light resistant film to put on the glass so that the plastic doesn't yellow.

Get some 3M window film. like this. It makes it much harder for windows to be broken and accessible. Think of a car's windshield, and how it spiderwebs, but stays together.
