So post some roller tool boxes you got and opinions.
all bloat and not needed
>>2965595>So post some roller tool boxes you gotwhat good would that do? my tool boxes are from the 80's, except for the one in my house which came from harbor freight.do your own shopping.
snowblower threadim thinking of buying one this year, live in a coastal area with heavy wet snowmy driveway is about 150 feet to the garage but since ive lived here ive just shoveled about 1/6th of it and kept the cars parked up front outsidei know nothing about them other than what im reading online im thinking a 300cc would be ideal maybe a toro, honda looks nice too but a bit $$
>>2960865get a tracked honda. you won't regret>t. proud owner of an HS80
>>2960865even though we seldom get more than 2" of snow here at any given time I've joined the ranks of snowblower owners after I bought this off Marketplace for $401990 Craftsman track snowblower, didn't run, cleaned the carb and now it runs like a champ... now just waiting for snow...
>>2960865You want a 2-stage machine if really wet sow. Even then it will load up and need the plunger. Also, 8HP minimum, more is better. Spray the auger & chute with PAM cooking spray, helps to keep snow from loading up. I bought a Troy-Bilt one several years ago, great machine. x
>>2965726I'd heard that Honda was getting out of the lawnmower/snowblower business though?
It's a neat contraption but not as easy to use as you'd think. Definitely better for your back than a hand shovel though.I have a 280cc I got for cheap cause it wouldn't start. Turns out the previous owner just left it sitting over the summer, I cleaned out the carb and it was good to go. Make sure you empty out the fuel system when you store it or you'll have to clean the carb at the start of the season. On my model taking the carb off and cleaning it didn't take too long. Maybe a couple hours with some basic sockets and a couple pieces of wire to clean out the jets.
I am building a bed loft that will render the existence of this ceiling fan impractical. There'll be ~45" between the deck of the loft and the ceiling. Are there any good low-profile (less than ~6" depth) options to replace it with that don't have external moving parts but still have an internal fan to maintain some circulation up at the top of the room? Any other suggestions of neat fixtures that would suit the situation? Or should I just put in a little basic dome light and figure out something else for air circulation?
>>2963372actual lol
>>2963371Keep the existing fan. Build a small skirt around it (attached to ceiling) to guard blade tips. The skirt will have to stand off fromthe ceiling to allow air flow.Think ducted fan.
>>2966169No
It's happening again.How is it possible that a furnace will not produce heat unless the filter is pulled out at least a couple inches? The furnace is not new, we did not have this problem years ago until a certain point, and apparently if you push the filter all the way in, it produces heat for only like a couple hours, and then stops doing so, leading us to pull the filter out to get it working again, and it only happens when it's really cold outside. Not moderately cold, it has to be "really cold", I guess in the mid 20s or less.Why does it only work briefly instead of not at all? Why the does the filter have to be pulled out, to get a runtime of more than like 2 hours? And why does it stop? Seriously, this makes no sense at all. Is there any furnace in the entire world besides ours that does this?
>>2965858Because "pleats" are too hard to say, even though you can see that I know what pleats are by my previous usage of the word...Are you the definition of "lolworthy"?
>>2965615>How about we start with this: When you say "5 inch", across which axis is it?>>Because I know what a "pleats per inch (or any other size)" measurement is, but there is nothing on a regular residential furnace filter that is anywhere near 5 inches in size. It's all either too big or too small, and I can't say I've seen one anything like how you describe, and you've never even said "per" anything.https://www.amazon.com/FilterBuy-20x25x5-Pleated-Replacement-Honeywell/dp/B00NVF51ZK

How is this genre of home kit?
>>2963184The reason the 2v Tritons got a bad rap was the thermostats would go out but still show varying temps without turning on the cooling system so they'd overheat and blow headsI have one with over 300k on it and it won't fucking die
>>2965097also no one wants to try and carry a big screen TV down the stairs while trying not to look suspicious, it's a great deterent
>>2962395>>2963497I spent 11 years living in a "mother in law" apartment behind and downhill from my family's house, which could only be accessed by going down two flights of outdoor stairs from street level - painted concrete for the bottom half and wood for the upper half. Never had an issue all that time and then 3 days before we sold the house and moved out there was some light rain and the instant I stepped out onto the concrete I went ass over elbows and landed hard with my knee right into one of the step edges, didn't break anything but I was hobbling for the next week and had a visible bruise for a month after that.
>>2962911>I drive a Porsche Cayenne SNext time when you go to the store, maybe try looking outside of the women's department for a car.

Ancient thing, its like a shop vac, suddenly started choking hard mid vacuum and released a smell of burning plastic so I turned it off.After letting it cool it turns on but sounds fucked up and it strongly smells of burning after a second or two.Screws are 8 point or 6 point and I got no tools or knowledge to fix things. Could it be something simple to replace like a belt or brushes or is it for chucking in the trash? It had a problem a few months ago where it started to spew out big chunks of dust through a broken filter area which I taped over with some porous filter from a spare aircon thing I cut to act as a filter xD (I can feel it blowing thoigh and no dust comesbout any more). The motor part is probably enclosed in metal anyway? I am a cheapskate and will likely get the screwdrivers to open it in the first place but only if its fixable.https://voca.ro/12NrDTlU0vKb
>>2965174rude
>>2965149Vac motors are relatively easy to replace.
>>2965148Get a security bit set, it's cheap.Take it apart.This is how you gain repair skills.It's already fucked, no risk.
>>2965148Small chance it's brushes. Bigger chance that the wire insulatoin on the motor windings wore through due to vibration or whatever and it shorted out in which case the motor is toasted.
>>2965148>Screws are 8 point or 6 pointWell which is it?Can't you count?

I want to take a photo of myself and age it as accurately as possible to the point where I look 80. A set of photos and I’d be dressed as a creepy old witch. I have never used any of the subscription AI stuff and I’m asking which model is the best for that.
>>2964370Find a young picture of someone who you know is old, use the young picture across a bunch of models and see which one looks closest to how the person looks now
>>2964370I've used FaceApp to see how I'd look, and I looked like a hybrid of both my grandfathers. When i did the female version of me, I looked like my mom when she was younger. Scary.
Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/. And they offer 5 year warranty which is kinda crazy for cheap tools.I have PP screwdrivers with a metal shank and they are surprisingly good but power tools are a different beast.
>>2959318I have a battery sander and cord miter saw and power washer. parkside is perfectly decent for hobbyist/occasional use, obviously won't cut it professional volume/precison, but they're fine for just fucking around at home. The miter saw I have had for 3 years, did a whole home renovation, and it's still going.main downside of parkside for me is that whenever possible the tools are designed to only accept parkside consumable parts (blades etc) which are made of cheap shit metal, so if you're going to use it several times a month, might as well fork out the cash for higher end gear , it's cash your going to spend on extra bits and bobs anyway with parkside. (this is not a problem with drill bits)
>>2964206Yo im the anon that made the thread asking if that psbsap d4 is a good deal. What did you use the drill for in the last year? How does it perform? Any single issue?
>>2964336I think it's a great deal ye. Both this and last year, they ended up being bought out by scalpers (or people who really wanted it, like me) who buy it within an hour of the store opening. I didn't really put it through it's paces but I used it while making my workshop to drill 3mm steel for many hours while putting up OSB and it was fine.
>>2964381Nice, heh I'm also the guy coming in within an hour of opening to snatch it. I got it for 130, I see scalpers selling for 170 now
>>2964206that looks fucking nice. there are adapters that converts the voltagesaliexpress.com/item/1005008748699604.htmlrandom example but some are legit
I am designing a house, based off a kithomeMy girlfriend says she wants to have a lot of kids, so three smaller bedrooms would essentially be boys, girls, toddlersThe concept is that the less used rooms like bathrooms are on the street side of the house, and the house is as far front of the property as possible. This gives a larger backyard with the living room and all bedrooms having glass sliding doors that open directly onto the rear deck into the garden. not sure about that toilet on the left. Bathrooms all have double showers because it's really a cheap thing to do, and allows efficiency in the morningI think the Rumpus would be kind of a computer room for kids to have their games consoles and computers in a space that's still public, but not going to spread noise to the whole house
Half of you are going to call me a horrible person and the other half will inform me that Jewish tax assessors won't allow this without charging me an arm and a leg, but my dream is to have a great big house for my wife and I and my kids live in their own separate little house on the property. Kids are destructive, let them destroy their house. Also, when they grow up, they'll have their own independent living space and will be incredibly grateful for it.
>>2965838You are going to die alone, unloved and unmourned.
>>2952422holy shit please get someone who knows what they're doing to help before you fuck this up lmao
>>2965838That dream is rather generous to your kids. Nothing wrong with that though. One of my cousins had his bedroom in the garage, another cousin lived in my uncle's RV. Some kids enjoy that independence.
>>2965838As a former child I would have loved having my own outhouse to bring friends to and basically be a self-contained living area.
explain Septic System to me like I'm a bitch.Shouldn't there be an "Oh fuck" overflow outlet, like before even the first tank, so it can never back up into the house? I've heard of Septics overflowing into house. Is that illegal because your System has to work so you don't spread shit, so having it "sealed" is the way you are forced to have a valid system?I'm thinking if I got a place out in the sticks I'd want to add an RV hook up out from under the house, and I guess I could also add an extra Y so I could connect a hose which could lead to an emergency over-flow gravity fed line.WTF happens if your System is OK, but suddenly under fairly sustained excessive use? Will it most likely drain OK, but "water" not treated and live turd germs into Leach Field, and how bad is that and do people get in trouble for it? Does it start showing up in your neighbors well water and you get sued and a shitty rep?Seems like any well designed system would include that, and into a normally dry pond or covered hole or French Drain or something.I also saw diagram of a "solid state" dosing system that somehow worked without any pumps. IIRC it had a float and valve on a hinge on an angled arm so the valve would stay closed until "water" level well above it, then would open and drop level to well below float level. Seems simple and fool proof. WTF with pump systems. Seems like opening a big valve would be better than some little pump (that will be not just going on fritz but in the shit).
>>2963887>this kind lady called saying her family was on a well for a long time, but for some reason it dried up....only about a week after the county connected their home to the public sewer system. HmmmmmmmSo the public sewer system started pulling from the well?
>>2965241No. Waste water was going into the sewer and not to the leach field and then to the well.
>>2965241>So the public sewer system started pulling from the well?fresh water pipes are pressurized so if there is a leak the fresh water leaks out. Sewer lines are not pressurized and gravity drained so if ther is a leak it wont leak or at least not leak much. Their speptic system and fresh water well was actually hydraulically connected. The pumped groundwater (shower, cooking, drinking, washing) was discharged to the sewer system and back to the groundwater and pulled back into the well. This is not what you want. If it does happen you want the residence time to be long enough such that the natural microbes in the vadose zone and groundwater digest sufficiently any harmful microbes in the water before its pulled back into the drinking water system. The likely got used to all the bacteria like poor people in locations with bad sanitary practices. Since their well drired up soon after their sewer water was taken away by the county sewer system their groundwater supply was insuffient to supply the house. Its amazing how many people have wells and never monitor them for water quality or to run an occasional pump test to confirm proper operation.
>>2965537I'm worried about all this shit (pardon pun) because I'm looking at buying cheap rural house that mostly haven't been lived in for a month or more, or even a few weeks. I'm thinking a few dormant weeks would allow many issues to self-heal, at least enough to pass a quick test of well water pump rate/water quality, and septic.I'm starting to wonder how many cheap rural houses are for sale due to major issues starting to surface that will cost $50K in a couple years, but given some rest the system still passes basic tests.Its not like trying to sue some old Hillbilly who spent all the money a year ago, and is probably semi-nomadic in an RV, would be practical.
>>2965747>I'm worried about all this shit (pardon pun)I think its worth it to investigate any water well used for drinking water or food irrigation if you are going to buy. I would ask for all the records of well drilling, construction, operation, and water quality testing (if they have good records it shows they have a brain and were paying attention and probably doing regular testing and maintenance). Its relatively inexpensive to collect water samples for a suite of analysis to be sure its safe for drinking and irrigation.

>Bosch plans to stop production at two Power Tools plants in Germany by late 2026: Sebnitz in Saxony and Leinfelden-Echterdingen near Stuttgart. About 500–510 jobs are affected. Production will shift into Bosch’s wider network, including Central and Eastern Europe.Rip Bosch, you had a good run.Insane that germany is letting their tool flagship brand stop all production at home and essentially allowing the name brand to die but well I guess it's just symptoms of a wider German manufacturing decline. The brand will be 130 years old next year and will probably end up being sold to some amerimutt kike owned conglomerate, fucking sad.
