Spring Cleaning Tips for the Garage and Driveway

Spring represents a time of rebirth and that means it’s time to organize and clean your home.  A big part of spring cleaning involves the garage, the shed, driveway and any other space that gets a lot of use in the warmer months.  Below are a few ideas and tips to help you clean and organize your garage and clean your driveway.

1.) Recruit a friend and the job will seem easier. You could clean and organize your place this weekend and do theirs the following weekend.

 

2.) Be prepared to get rid of unwanted or unused items. Assess how much you have in your garage that you use on a regular basis. Anything covered in dust from last year can probably be packed away.  Also, consider having a yard sale if you have unwanted power or hand tools, as there is always demand for those items.

3.) As you size up what you store in your garage, determine the best way to organize your items. Do you only need to separate small things, like craft materials, jewelry, screws, nuts, bolts, nails and screwdrivers?  A color coded system of storage bins (D1163244) is what’s best.  If you have power tools cluttering your work bench and garage floor, it’s a good idea to install shelving.  Either heavy duty wire shelving (D1101222) or open steel shelving (D1170895) will work depending on how much you have and how heavy it is.

4.) Don’t clean and organize your garage only to have it return to its messy conditions. Ever hear the expression “plan twice, build once?”  Think of organizing your garage like this:  “organize once, reorganize never again.

5.) A pressure washer (D1774621) is not only a good idea for cleaning your siding and patio, but also a method to remove paint and other stains that have accumulated over time on your driveway. Various attachments and cleaners are on the market to help you do a thorough job.  Once you finish, inspect your driveway for cracks.  Is it time to have it resealed?

Essential Outdoor Projects for Spring 2018

Spring is here again, and whether you’re planning to get your house on the market or relax outdoors this season, it’s time to get to work!  According to research from Virginia Tech, upgrading a home’s landscape from average to excellent can raise its overall value by 10 to 12 percent.  The following landscape elements were found to be most important to survey respondents:  design sophistication, plant size and the diversity of plant material type.

If you aren’t selling your home, why not make improvements now to turn that boring backyard into an outdoor lounge?  At Deelat Industrial, we have what you need for projects large and small.

Garden Tools

You’ll want to plant attractive shrubs and beautiful flowers this season, so stock up on the right tools for the job.

With handles made from Ailanthus Altissima, a hard wood originating from China, our shovels and spades are rugged and can handle hours of digging, lifting and moving soil and sand.  Among the other handle materials available are aluminum alloy, aspen wood and birch.

Once the plants are in the ground, it’s time to give them a good look.  In addition to SS Professional Pruning Shears (D1160567), which have aluminum alloy blades, we have long-reach garden scissors (D1155206) for pruning, cutting and trimming those hard to reach plants.

Sprayers

A variety of sprayers are available from Deelat for gardening and outdoor maintenance applications.  With capacities ranging from four to 17 liters, you will be able to store and spray all manner of cleaning and gardening related chemicals.  The spray flow can be adjusted to create a fog spray for fine application on large areas, or a more streamlined spray for stronger application on a specific target.  In addition to manual sprayers, we offer electric pressure washers, which feature rechargeable batteries and come in capacities of 16 or 25 liters.

Pressure Washers

As you finish your gardening projects, you may notice debris on your sidewalk, patio, walkway or brickwork.  And perhaps the siding on your house is looking dingy now that your landscaping is top notch.  With a pressure washer from Deelat, such as the D1774621, you can blast away, comfortable in the knowledge that its nine-horse power gasoline engine and 3000 PSI stream can handle the task.

Solar Garden Lights

Solar powered landscape lights are a wonderful addition to a landscaped yard.  Installing them is easy due to the fact that they are wireless.  Try the short cup design (D1151541), which is made from durable aluminum alloy and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic; or the European-styled D1173514 light, which is constructed out of high quality aluminum.  Both of these 100-lumen LED lights can be mounted on top of brick, concrete or wood structures and screwed into place.

Advantages of Using Police Body Cameras

Police officers and civilians both behave differently when they know they’re being recorded, and that’s one reason among many that video footage used in policing is beneficial.  With the rise of police misconduct in the news, the public might be under the false assumption that officers of the law do not want their actions recorded.  The truth is that officers who follow procedure during arrests — the ‘good cops’ — want video coverage.  Body cameras provide unbiased evidence of what transpires in policing.  They have the power to exonerate the good cops and to condemn the bad ones.

policecamera1

But how do these advantages play out in your role as a cop?  How does this technology function to improve policing?

Resolution

Let’s start with how the footage is rendered.  Body cameras are equipped with sensors that have resolutions as low as 16 and as high as 34, and even at the low end this is adequate to capture an accurate depiction of the events.  Accuracy in evidence gathering is what’s most important.

In addition, an optimal resolution will allow you to make the most of the camera’s 140-degree wide angle lens.  If something is happening in the periphery of the camera or at a distance, that resolution will allow you to zoom in and inspect the footage in close detail.  This could present the evidence that breaks a case open.

Being able to capture snapshots while video is recording is a plus when an officer has the intention of photographing someone or something.  It’s handy to have this camera at your disposal.

Storage Capacity

One concern with body cameras could be the belief that they impede policing, but that fear is quickly allayed when you hold one: they are less than 6 oz and fit comfortably in the hand.  But would an officer have to break from his routine to repeatedly upload content from his camera or switch to a fresh camera during a shift?

With storage capacities of 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes, this isn’t likely.  On the smaller side, the 16g unit records up to five hours of footage, and on larger side of the spectrum, the 64g records up to nine hours.

File Transfer

The data collected by the body camera is kept secure by data protection software.  Furthermore, the video files are password protected in-camera.  Once a shift is over, the data from the unit can be transferred via a USB cable to computer (body cameras are available in Windows or Mac formats).  This technology helps to maintain the integrity of the footage.

Charging

The police body camera docking station serves as a central hub for charging police body cameras and for data uploading.  The station, which can hold up to eight cameras, charges them to full capacity in four hours.

Tips for Organizing your Home or Business in 2018

New resolutions for the year ahead can be a useful way of making meaningful changes in your life. But there is no point setting goals that you know you won’t be able to achieve. With that in mind, here are a few ideas to help you get organized in 2018, both at home and in the workplace.

Master Your Storage

While plenty of people have made attempts to ditch physical documents all together, in reality this isn’t practical in a domestic or a commercial setting. So if your filing cabinets are overflowing and your shelving is not up to the task, it’s time for a change!

 

Investing in more storage is an obvious solution, and one which will help you stay on top of your filing for the next 12 months. But it can also be useful to optimize your existing resources and make sure that you are not hanging on to older documents or products unnecessarily.

Now is a great time to begin spring cleaning early. Even if a little hard work is required, you’ll be happy in the long run. You might even get into the habit of assessing your storage needs more regularly, which will make things easier over time.

 

Streamline Security

Peace of mind is priceless, but a lack of protection can leave you fretting about your premises when you are elsewhere. Nothing can leave you feeling more helpless and disorganized than having to deal with the aftermath of a burglary.

 

The good news is that with modern security camera solutions, it has never been easier to monitor a home or business around the clock. High resolution censors, night vision recording and remote feed access are all par for the course these days.

It could even be the right time to snap up a new DVR which can capture footage from your existing security camera setup and make it easier to review and store in one place. Tying up loose ends before they trip you up is the best way to work.

 

Get Tooled Up

Putting off completing those little jobs that build up over the course of a year can leave you will a long list of things that need to be fixed. And the temptation to ignore them for another 12 months will be greater if you don’t have access to the right tools.

Tips to prepare holiday decorations outside of your home

It’s that time of year again when we all feel the need to celebrate the holiday season by covering our house in as many festive lights and decorations as possible, channeling our inner Clark Griswold. Of course, you don’t need to go to National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation lengths to make your home look good.

It’s probably better for your sanity if you do scale it back from covering the entire building in lights to ensure you don’t have a sky high electricity bill once the new year roles around. There are lots of ways you can get the outside of your house ready for Christmas, so here’s a few great tips!

Let there be (solar) lights!

There aren’t many more festive sights than beautiful displays of decorative lights outside your home at Christmas time, so make sure you don’t miss out. If you are concerned about the cost towards your bank account and also the planet for using more electricity, why not make the switch to solar Christmas lights this year? They look just as festive and come in all shapes, sizes, colors and styles, so you can get your holiday house looking the best it ever has, all thanks to the power of the sun.

Get ready to battle the snow

It’s not just about making your home look pretty of course, there is also the winter weather to think about. There are many things you can do to take control of your property even when the weather outside is frightful, from buying snow melting mats for your driveway to investing in a salt spreader plow if you have a lot of land you want to make safe from slippery icy patches. If you really want to show the snow who’s boss, you can even get a snow blower or outdoor de-icing cables.

Use your garden as decoration

Of course, while you’re thinking of how to decorate the outdoor spaces of your home, don’t forget that you already have some amazing decorative elements out there – namely your garden and the plants and bushes within it. So make sure you utilize them by decorating them with baubles and tinsel and of course lights, which don’t necessarily have to be Christmas lights. They can be any kind as long as they accentuate the great things about your garden.
