[TheForge] Shop Communications

[Washington, Aubrey O.]

Don,

My shop is about 90 feet from my house the my cordless house phone works fine.  I don't have a charger unit out in the shop, but that wouldn't be hard to get.   Here is a website that sells various lights and buzzers for telephones:  http://www.tele-movers.com/signaling.htm  You might be able to find something compatible with your cordless house phone.

Aubrey

Looking for some suggestions re telephone shop  communications.

I have a 220, 50 amp buried line to the shop but no  communication line. I
was hoping to do something wireless. I did not mind  digging 20 years ago but
not up to digging again. The shop is 110' from the  house. The shop is small and
very noisy when gas forge and power hammer are  running.

I figured to buy another wireless phone to connect with   my Panasonic KX
TG5776 at the house and put in the shop. I think it will reach  that far ok. Any
suggestions re a wireless hookup that would blink a red light  or provide
amplification or some such thing to let me know the phone is ringing.
Alternatively, some sort of wireless communication system from the house to the  shop so
my wife can call and tell me one of the kids is on the line...or  whatever.
Otherwise she has to make a trip through the mud to the shop.

Thanks for any ideas.

Don Plummer
