DIY How to Install DEFIANT Brand Bright Outdoor Motion Detector LED Lights
Amazon link: https://amzn.to/2LIfadC
These DEFIANT brand motion security lights are incredibly easy to install. They were around $50 each at Home Depot. They really made this install very simple and they are soooo bright that it hurts your eyes to look at them. I was very pleased with the ease of installation as well as results and functionality of them serving their purpose well. Be sure to turn off the power to the circuit before working on any of this. A voltage tester is always a good thing to have around. Reminder to check the batteries and on/off function of your voltage tester before using. After you get your old outdoor light off the wall and unwired, you'll need to also remove the threaded piece of flat bar/sheet metal bracket as the new LED motion sensor light has it's own unique piece with an inset threaded center oriface that needs to be installed. The same original two screws can typically be used if need be. If the old ones are worn than be sure to replace them. A lot of times they make these screws stainless steel whereas a lot of times in the past they were galvanized. Even though they are galvanized they still get corroded and sometimes very bad.
Once you get the bracket and back plastic holder plate installed be sure the wiring is run through hole. Now the next step is the one that I really like. There's only one screw for the ground wire but then there's some set screws for the black and white wires. The kit comes with a little red flathead screwdriver. I wish they would have made the handle on it a little fatter and the screwdriver a little longer as it's almost too tiny to handle. Regardless, the back plate has two set screws that secure the wires. Secure the wires and tighten the set screws and give the wires a tug to make sure they are secure. If the wires are loose this can be catastrophic due to an electrical fire to be sure you are mindful and focused on what you are doing.
Once the wires are secure and screwed in, now it's time to snap on and screw in the front main body section of the fixture.
Aside from being a semi-serious creative outlet, this DIY Technician Youtube channel serves many purposes. It acts as somewhat of a historical log or portfolio of past work. It also allows me to make a tiny amount of money with both Adsense and Amazon. The tiny Amazon profits come from you clicking through my link provided (such as this one: https://amzn.to/2JZqIqW) and then either ordering the item or ordering another item after clicking the amazon link. I know the experts recommend staying in a certain niche, and I'd say I do that for the most part, however, I don't like to put self imposed limits on what I post. It stays more interesting for me this way. I take great pleasure in fixing things as well as trying new foods, helping others, and visiting new places. I really appreciate and enjoy the education that youtube has to offer. It's still amazing to me how you can learn how to do almost anything with just a few clicks and some watch time. Almost all of the videos I post are not just for the purposes of posting videos, they are documentation of activities and fixes I was going to do regardless. So I figured that since I'm performing these tasks anyway, might as well have fun making some videos and maybe make a nickel or two. Blog: https://the-avant-garden.blogspot.com

DIY Install & Unbox Dummy Home Security Camera -Wali Electric Brand
Wali electric brand dummy security cameras ordered off of amazon. This step by step tutorial takes you through unboxing and simple installation. These dummy security cameras look real and can assist you in your home security plan acting as a deterrent for potential thieves. These professional looking dummy security cameras can be installed in less than 5 minutes. Its a good idea to install them in a manner that is high enough so they are out of reach. The AA batteries that they require to make the red blinking LED keep blinking are not included with each assembly and must be purchased by you separately. You will need an electric or cordless drill to secure it to the wall as well as three screws. I used some 1.5” drywall screws. Overall these dummy cameras alone won’t necessarily deter all potential thieves however when used in conjunction with bright motion detector lights, secure windows and security doors they can be an integral part of maybe making the thieves think about picking an easier location.

Deco Gear "Chef" Rapid Electric Portable Stainless Party Ice Maker- Unbo...
This great little portable Electric "Chef" Deco Gear Brand Party Ice Maker has been amazingly easy to unbox and set up. The video shows how easy it is to unbox this unit and quickly make some ice. To get right down to it, it has been one of the easiest appliances to "assemble" and use that I've ever purchased. It does everything it said it would and actually efficiently and quickly makes ice. It always makes us, as consumers, happy when the contraption you buy does exactly what it says without fail or disappointment.
We use quite a bit of ice around our house for our drinks and our smoothies.
As far as simplicity and ease of use, I would recommend this electric ice maker to anyone who is in the market for one. I will update this description and post down the road to follow up how it stands the test of time. If it breaks tomorrow I'll update this at the beginning of the description. So if you are reading this and there is nothing saying differently at the very beginning of this description, than it has been running full time and still going.
One of the nice functions of this thing is that as the ice slightly melts after being made it slowly drips back down into the reservoir which makes it so all of your ice doesn't stick together. You always have the small or larger piece of ice that this machine makes.
In the video I demonstrate what the assembly guide recommends, and that's making sure that the reservoir plug on the bottom is plugged in. I really didn't need to tighten it up anymore as it was already tight. I guess there's a chance that is came loose during shipping, however, you'll know it right away it it's loose because you may get a little water out the bottom
Here's the amazon link to it: https://amzn.to/2Xi0ByC
