(Part 3) Top products from r/Hamilton

We live in Binbrook & get about 35 stations (this includes some religious stations which we promptly delete). CTV is a pain in the ass to get. Most of the time if we align our antenna to get CTV, we'll have it for a day or two and then it drops out. We've all but given up on that station. We get all the US stations perfectly, so anything we'd want to watch on CTV we can usually get from the US.

The best advice I can give is: Install your antenna outdoors, the higher the better. This makes all the difference in the world.

We're using two stacked antennas, the 8 bay is pointed towards the US & a smaller one pointed towards Toronto. We have a preamp up on the antenna which really seemed to help.

We're also using the Tablo OTA DVR so we can record our shows and pause live TV, the cool thing about this setup means we have only one device plugged into the Antenna and we can watch on several devices. We have the 4 Tuner version, so can watch or record 4 things at a time.

Alternative mic suggestion: Tascam DR-05 and a cheap lavalier mic like this

It's a lot more portable and versatile than the Snowball, but it will require you to sync up audio and video after the fact.

edit: honestly, even just the lav mic would help a lot

The best knives and best prices for knives is on the internet. http://www.amazon.com/New-Swedish-Mil-Mora-Knife/dp/B004TNWD40

I purchased one of these and am quite happy with it - good for noise, storage, came in a small box. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0016BUR7I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Definitely is sketchy. When I use to workout there I got myself one of the Round Padlock that’s used for storage lockers. Lol. Not sure if Crunch or GoodLife is any better in Jackson?

I had one of these too:

Bit on the firm side but a pretty decent mattress for the price (although I got it on sale for $450 or so)

Check TV Fool to see where you should point your antenna. An antenna booster (for indoor or outdoor) might also help.

It’s always a good idea to keep a tick remover on you for walkies too, because they can still bite even if your dog is treated.
I use this one that attaches to my keychain.

If it comes to having to purchase it online there's always eBay and Amazon

I use the vitapur water filter system

That's just a negotiating tactic. This book helped me a lot in this regard: https://www.amazon.ca/Getting-Yes-Negotiating-Agreement-Without/dp/0143118757/ref=pd_bxgy_14_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9WANC3TF7MWSE16221NP

You can buy them at any pet store.

There are a number of motion-activated or remote-activated sprinkers you could get, I believe they were made with your specific problem in mind. Here are some examples from a Google search:

https://www.amazon.com/Pestbye-Powerful-Activated-Sprinkler-Repeller/dp/B004YCUT4W

Set something like this up near your birdfeeder and after a few soakings the cat will probably leave your yard alone.

if all else fails on finding a local supplier you could always turn to amazon for it.

For instant death of roaches, better than bugspray: WD40. the oil covers the roach and ends up suffocating it, faster and with less toxins.

You've got tiny ones, which means that they're nesting in the walls. That whole building is screwed. So either push hard for your room as others mentioned, or leave. There's no middle ground here. You'd do the community a service too if you told us all where it is. If it's this bad, they're not going to change without drastic interference.

I also recommend these: http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Shot-95789-Ultra-Liquid/dp/B001EGMZC0/ref=pd_tcs_compl_lg_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=0P5RM5VSBRVGQRGD2N0V

Found them much better than the solid traps.
