Our OOMA Has Paid For Itself And Our High Speed Internet In Only 6 Months

Gate and Fence

Some time back we bought an OOMA, which is a device that allows you to make free phone calls in the US. This is not like MagicJack or Vonage. With the OOMA there are no fees, like the the other name brand voice over IP solutions. Oh sure, you can upgrade for a fee, by adding features such as a second line, but the basic OOMA service is free. When we bought this device we estimated that in 6 months it would have paid not only for itself, but also for our high speed Internet. And here we are, about 6 months later, and the OOMA has done this and more. The OOMA also paid for our long distance, as long distance calling is free!

The Phone Bill Used to have one but haven't for months...

How did it pay for our high speed Internet? Phone alone would have been about $30-35 a month in the Florence area. "How can we beat that?" we thought. Well, we did just that. We found a promo deal with Charter, for our cable Internet, offering two years of service for $33 a month. That $33 included the rent for our cable modem, at $3 a month.


Fence Design And Ground Slope...

Fence Slope Design

If your land slopes where you plan to build a fence, how you slope the fence or if you slope the fence makes a difference on the overall look and design. We hope these sketches help you with your fence design challenges. Note how the fence appears at the top and also how it performs at the bottom. Also take note of how much dirt you might have to move with each version. Graphics drawn with Inkscape...

Woodmaster Planer, Molder, Rip Saw and Drum Sander...

Woodmaster Planer, Molder, Rip Saw and Drum Sander

In the smaller shop having one tool that can plane (surface) wood, drum sand, rip and make molding seems almost like something "to good to be true" yet the Woodmaster is a production machine that does these tasks with relative ease. The planer will require optional accessories to add some features.

"We like this tool for it's professional production capabilities"

"We wanted a real time web page that we could go to that showed us all the earthquake info we needed for our area, where we did not have to hunt around. No time for hunting during an emergency."


A Weather Glass Is An Age Old Barometer

Weather Glass An Age Old Barometer

I took a picture of our weather glass this morning. Later, in the day, our weather glass let us know by the water coming up and out the spout that we needed to batten down the hatches as a storm was coming. Sure enough, as I write this, the storm is here. Having been around for almost four centuries the weather glass has endured the test of time. A simple device, but one enjoyed around the world because of it's ability to predict storms and changes in weather. Also known as a Goethe Barometer they can be beautifully designed and crafted, easy to use and a fun conversation piece helping to make this a timeless gift.

Although Evangelista Torricelli is universally credited with inventing the barometer in 1643, historical documentation also suggests Gasparo Berti, an Italian mathematician and astronomer, unintentionally built a water barometer sometime between 1640 and 1643. - The Wikipedia

"We have had ours for a number of years and always enjoy checking the water level to see what kind of weather is coming..."
