“Gear provider didn’t give us the correct cables for the transmitters, luckily one of the crew carries an obscene amount of adapters. This is legit, had to play around with it a bit but we eventually got it to work!”

Reblog from my other Tumblr, Home Inspection Nightmares, which reposts the This Old House feature in an easily navigable format. Because the best way to feel better about yourself and your abilities is to look at some of those examples and realize that somebody either a) thought it was a good idea, or b) got paid to do that.

I’m really interested in seeing what kind of technology is behind these glowing stones and how long they’ll last.
Found it! It’s a product called Starpath from a UK company called Pro-Teq. No details on durability or how long the UV-absorbing materials will last.
Man, I wish this was around nine years ago when I was in grad school. It would have made on of my outdoor lighting projects much more feasible.
