HOW TO: PRIVACY SCREEN for BALCONY using Faux Ivy Privacy Screens

I got some Faux Ivy privacy screens ( https://amzn.to/3OHSPJP), so I can add some privacy to my balcony as well as hide the ugly white metal rails. With summer here, I wanted to clean up and get my porch and patio ready for guests!

My concrete patio looks grey. I been wanting to make it more green. In addition I wanted to cover up the white metal railings and add more privacy from my neighbors. Another benefit of adding Faux Ivy privacy screens ( https://amzn.to/3OHSPJP) was the added shade from the sun to reduce heat on the patio balcony.

The Faux Ivy privacy screens ( https://amzn.to/3OHSPJP) expanded to 4 x 8 ft panel but can also contract down. The trellis is made of wood sticks and mine had some flowers to make it look different than just green leaves.

I hung my panel with a S hook and then used the provided nylon zip ties to secure it to my railing. I am planning to get another set to place on both sides of the fence to make it denser and so it will cover the railing on both sides.

Overall Faux Ivy privacy screens ( https://amzn.to/3OHSPJP) is a good fast solution to add privacy to the balcony so when I have tea or exercise it its a little more private. I also enjoy the cooling effect from the shade.

About a week ago, my Uniden Radar detector ( https://amzn.to/3HrCaGK ) power cord which uses a RJ11 connector broke off. I used Loctite FUN-TAK Mounting Putty ( https://amzn.to/3qnzy5N ) for temporary fixes for my plastic parts such as to hold connectors together, such as for my RJ11 connector with a missing tab. It held the connector in place for about 3 days without issue and was easy to remove.

Its time to remove the temporary fix and replace the broken RJ11 telephone connector ( https://amzn.to/3zaQmAK ) for my radar detector.
My trusty crimp tool ( https://amzn.to/3Huow5H ) does both RJ45 / RJ11 connectors and i have been using it to fix network plugs as well.

For RJ11 jacks have 4 pin connectors and is pretty simple to figure out.
Just write down the order of the color cable or take a photo for reference.
I use the crimper tools sharp cutters to score the housing and cut the ends off for a straight even cut of the wires. It comes out aligned and ready. Just pull off the scored cable housing and sort the colored wires.

Slide the wires into the new connector plug and crimp using the crimping tool to seat all the wires. Overall it only takes about 20-30 seconds. The most important part is checking the wire color order. Lastly check the cable to make sure it works .Now my Uniden Radar detector ( https://amzn.to/3HrCaGK ) and it powers up!

Overall its good to know how to fix and replace broken RJ11 and RJ45 connectors for many applications for the home or car repair as many cables now use for data and power connections.

I got the Bergan TURBO-SCRATCHER Cat Toy ( https://amzn.to/3przliB ) ten years ago since our cats were kittens. This toy is basically a weighted ball in a circular track and 10 YEARS LATER it still spins and works! We will review this cat toy and go over some tips for your cats.

Bergan TURBO-SCRATCHER Cat Toy ( https://amzn.to/3przliB ) is made of very durable plastic. There is a refillable cardboard scratch pad in the center. Refills ( https://amzn.to/3pt4EJG ) our cats use up one refill every year as they also have other vertical scratching posts. If this was there only scratching station i would believe it will last about 3 to 6 months, before a refill was needed.

Tips on how to use the Bergan TURBO-SCRATCHER Cat Toy ( https://amzn.to/3przliB ) with your cat. NEVER take the ball out of the track, if you do, dont let the cat see it. It takes away the magic and mystic of the ball from the cats. Instead spin it around and add a piece of packaging paper over it to hide the ball while it spins. The cats love the hide and seek nature of the ball.

Overall Bergan TURBO-SCRATCHER Cat Toy ( https://amzn.to/3przliB ) is one of the favorite toy of our cats and other cats. Its a very good cat toy for gifting and to pass on, as it has easily lasted over tens years. Its extremely durable and easy to clean if needed.
