scubado Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Back to the extension cord topic. The best place around here is Menards. They have good sales or rebates before Halloween and better deals around Thanksgiving. Their regular price is still better than most places with their 'sales'.As an added note, Buying extension cords at Menards is cheaper than buying the SPT wire and plugs. But, with SPT wire you can make custom length and cut down on bulk when making multi wire runs. The 6-15' extension cords are 2 wire SPT wire. The 20' and above are three wire with a jacket adding unnessary bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Meant to add in my previous post I buy a lot of my extension cords (even though they are indoor rated, they do work just fine outside with a little careful planning), anyway I usually buy mine at Wal-Mart, they are 6' and they can be had in white or brown. I paid .96¢ each for them there.I also sometimes (not always) cut off the triple tap end and put in a single female end in it's place. I rarely have more than one item plugged into an extension cord, unless it's a motor, for example my 3 animated wire deer, all motors would be plugged into one extension cord with a triple tap and then directly to the ~AC~ outlet. I just control the light strings on them seperately with an LOR Controller. And allow the motors to run constantly.Anyway they aren't bad for .96¢ each at Wal-Mart and they held up just fine under the Florida rains and at the time, a sprinkler system. No GFCI trips or any other issues using them.NOTE: this was the Wal-Mart price (.96¢) in my area in 2010, prices are subject to change at anytime with or without notice!

Although sometimes I have used photo's I've found on other sites that said they were "free for website or public use", only to find out they stole them and cropped the info out of them! I guess that's so they don't get caught, but I always keep a link back to where I find photo's when that scenario happens. Only had it happen twice because I had no way of knowing where they got the photo from initially. And I told the owners where to go find where I got the photo from, only one requested I remove the photo's, which I did, the other allowed their use once they knew I didn't just heist them from their site when I gave them the offenders link that did!Seems some folks have absolutely no morals at all anymore.

George Simmons Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I wonder if his website threat statement means he's going to have to file a complaint against himself. What a buffoon... BTW - There's a mini trees on carpeting picture that I've seen before also.Dwayne - Don said it well. Intelligent questions will usually be answered helpfully by at least one person. (Might not always be the person you expect, but that's another story.) Having said that, it serves new people well to at least give the search option a try every now and then. It doesn't always return answers to the exact question you're asking, but then again, it often does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
