Home Security and Air Conditioning Units

We have a simple solution for those of you that live in areas where thieves have been targeting HVAC coils for the copper.

It's a simple part that goes on the return gas side of the coil and monitors the pressure on the line. If someone messes with the line it sends a signal to the alarm panel. This part will work with all alarm panels on the market and will tie into your existing system.

    Hi Yair, ...»

    Yes, it has become a issue over the last few years. We have seen an up-tick in the amount of theft in all copper coming out of home. With the coil of a household A/C unit having 30 to 100 lbs of copper and 5 to 10 lbs of lead it has been a target.

Grow Succulents in Upcycled Jar

mother's day project.

Just put some rocks at the bottle for drainage, then add cactus soil, then separate and arrange your suculents and fill in the empty spots with more soil. Water lightly. Super easy!

These were all gifts, but for the one I kept I didn't even paint it, I liked the look of the clear glass with the rocks and soil showing.

    pencil in the dirt and if it comes out with a bunch of dirt on it then I do't water. If the dirt is dry and needs water then the pencil does not have dirt on it or any wet spots. The other trick is to add a layer of small pebbles on the bottom so any left over water will not soak the plants.
