The postings on this site are my own and don’t necessarily represent Harris’ position or opinion.

Programming Languages I know:

  • C
  • C++
  • C#
  • Java
  • Perl
  • PHP

I have experience working with mySQL and SQL Server DB (2005 & 2008 & Mobile). I have done some Windows CE development on Windows CE 5 and working with ActiveSync.

I'm not an expert in any of the above languages but I am aware of some of the nuances.

I have been using computers since I was 12. I started programming with BASIC gleaned from books in the library.

comment Why don't people use rigid or spray foam insulation in attics?
@Compro01: In Florida at the Lowes Home Improvement Store, you buy $200 worth of celluose and you get the machine for free. It sprays through a big hose about the size the hoses used for cleaning your car. You just spray.. no skill needed. It's not complex at all and it is cheaper. You can return any unused portion and the cost goes does to $100 or less depending on how much you need. Home Depot has a similar deal.

You missed the machines you can rent that spray recycled paper or other materials for insulation. That is totally within DIY and doesn't require any PPE at all except maybe a respirator.

comment What are some at-home options for pest control?
I have been using Demon-WP for outside and inside spraying along with MaxForce granules for my ant problem. It has been working pretty good. I have maybe spent $30-40 for entire year treatment. I used to pay $45 every other month. I have saved $230 for the entire year as long as I don't need anymore treatment chemicals.

comment How do I fix my double tapped outside electric panel?
I dunno. Neither of us are electricians so I just know what my home inspector told me :)

comment How do I fix my double tapped outside electric panel?
Double tap came up during my home inspection in November. It's against the code and an electrician has to remove the extra tap. The reason is because the terminals are designed for one tap and the extra one may come loose, causing an arc.

@mikes: So you can't use these for masonry? Not with the anchors?
