What do you think of butcher block countertops?
>>2967598No they are just not worth the hassle but it takes to maintain them.
Possible retard question here but, why not polyurethane finish? I don't put food directly on my countertops, I have large plastic cutting boards that I prep on anyway, is there any reason I shouldn't glue up some ripped 2x2s to width, biscuit and glue them with waterproof glue, maybe some wood hardener, then polyurethane coat it?
>>2965922I love the look but never again in the kitchen. Too much maintenance. Moisture gets in through the scratches easily.
>>2965922Terrible. I have an island top that's butcher block I hate it.
>>2965922Cheap and okay-ish. True chads use marble or granite.
What's in your go-to problem solving kit and how's it set up?

>>2961247funny thing about Hi-Points..As clunky and ugly as they are, if you were to simply polish the feed ramp with some 400 grit and then lube it with some remoil, as well as keeping it clean, they are both reliable AND accurate.Niggers can't into basic maintenance alhoweverbietthough..Anyway.A good sidearm with a locking holster is a very important tool in some areas.Sure, better to never have to be in those areas, but real life sometimes says otherwise.
i have a metric/standard short/deep 3/8s ratchet set with 5 extensions and two wobbles, one of which is an impact wobble not the shitty universal joint one that comes with the sets.

Not sure if that can happen with ss or chrome, so just looking for some reference point.
>>2972800What kind of filter, does that extend through the wall into a garage or just go straight down into the slab?looking at it I'd just redo ALL the copper pretty much, alternatively you could bust open the wall in the garage and just cut out a small section for a loop.
Does anyone know of any websites that have architechtural plan resources? I want to build a cabin or even geodesic dome on my property, but all the resources I can find are $500 priced glamping airbnb stuff.

I have a 1 year + 27 day old microwave and it's blowing a fuse when I try to use it. I'm not sure what's wrong with it and I'd like to save it from a landfill. It came with a 1 year warranty and warranty expired like 20 days before it broke and the company (Hamilton Beach) refused to service it.I rarely used it and I've used it maybe 20 times to warm up some food over the past year. After I used it last time, it died while cooking in mid-cycle. I could see a flash of light. When I opened it, I saw a blown fuse. It uses those small glass fuses and I had to order them from Amazon.I was hoping it would be as simple as replacing a fuse but obviously that's not the case. Clock and electronics works fine but it immediately blows a fuse when I try to actually cook with it.What's wrong? What can I check? I have a DMM.
>>2958927Hello mate, I'm not goin to go through every reply. But same thing happened to me where the fuse broke. What I did was get an 10A circuit breaker and replaced the fuse with it, and shoved it inside the microwave. Used 2.5mm to go from each end to the fuse terminals. No need for a new fuse if ever blows again.Use you multi to check voltage at terminals too.Aussie licenced electrician
what does it mean if it turns on and off usually but when it stays on it works
Some door switch failure modes will blow the fuse, especially if more than one door switch has failed. They’re triply redundant for a reason. And the switches are maybe the safest and easiest thing to check and one of the cheapest and easiest things to replace.

>>2970232Bees are the airborn equivalent of rats
i bought a copy of this the other day even though i don't have any immediate plans to beekeep
>>2971300>I've got hives hard up against a brick wall>under a low hanging tree>multiple hives in rows with only enough space to stand between them for inspections. >The bees don't careThat's excellent news for me, thanks for your post. I exactly wanted to put a hive either under a low tree or against a wall. I'm going to start with one hive. I found a kit on amazon for about $150, do you think that's a good starter kit? If not, could you suggest one please? Thanks.
>>2971468I doubt you can get everything you need that cheaply. Pic related is the minimum amount of gear I'd recommend to start with. You'll want 2 boxes so you've got a spare ready to go when the bees need it. Would also recommend a full length suit instead of a head-only veil, until you know the temperament of your bees (they're all different) Also if your arm is like that pic you're going to have a hard time lifting a full box of honey frames that can weigh 75lbs...

I installed laminate flooring on an uneven mortar surface. Walking on the floor feels and sounds like shit, but my other family members say it’s fine and that I’m just exaggerating. Is laminate supposed to sound this shitty even with proper subfloor? I am so bummed out.
>>29701912/2 I want to add that the mortar bed has dips because of the ceramic I demo’d. I don’t even know what to do anymore. I just want to know if it’s gonna last for at least 5 years without major problems.
>>2970197Yes, has padding
>>2970191This is why you use self-leveling compound first. But it will probably settle, if no one else is complaining, just let it be. It's not likely to fail just because of this, obviously depending on just how much variation you have.
I have the same issue in my hallway. I didn't level the subfloor at all there and the pieces are always gaping apart after a few months. I'm just going to glue them all together but not down.
it'll get a little less rigid and settle down some over the next few months.this will possibly coincide with some gaps showing up, but its whatever.
My 10 year old electric water heater has some visible rust on the bottom, pic-related. I still get plenty of hot water though. Is a sudden rupture with 50 gallons of water on the floor a very real possibility? Should I get it replaced ASAP?
>>2969115>I sent the pic to chatgptAnd you got a reddit answer.As the anon said it's not the tank. Also, replace it when you see water on the floor. It won't explode.
>>2969115What the fuck makes you think chatgpt would know? Most plumbing is experience based, either learned by doing or in person apprenticeship. It cant even have enough training data to have a coherent answer.
>>2969115>I'm not sure what you mean by "that's not the tank"That's just the outside shell, the part that actually holds the water is inside and there's a layer of insulation between the inside tank and the outside shell.
>>2969115If you had a leak, anon, it would be pushing out at house pressure, usually 45-50 psi. It would quickly soak the insulation and pool at the bottom. The rust would be around the seam. As another anon said, looks more like you have a leaking bottom element.
i saw a single wide trailer get the walls blown out from one of those explodingwent over there and looted the guys playstation 2 and got a copy of crashed warped, was pretty neat.

>>2974028I ended up going for the HGLRC in both sizes. Despite using the same chip, the GepRC unit does connect faster, but also costs more. If I was just grabbing one I'd probably have picked up the GepRC, but for multiple... 40 seconds longer to get going won't kill me.>>2974183>$500That's a strong friggin' friendship. I hope you do something fun with it.
>>2974024I've got a few of the Flywoo Nano units. As long as you get it more than an inch from the flight controller, it should perform decently. Managed a 7 sat lock in 30 sec yesterday. Not the best, but certainly acceptable.

>>2972194No, that's not a problem.
Governmental systems always get corrupted to benefit special interest groups. In this case contractors. You’ll is, it’s an argument you can’t win, so your best bet is to do what you know to be right but hide your work from all prying eyes. You never know when some city official may drive by and take notice, or some Karen will report you just because she can.

>>2963212I've got a DeWalt cordless trim, I fucking love it. Fits on the same plunge base as the corded one, and uses the same fantastic dial adjust as the bigger 1.25hp corded one.My dad bought a Bosch corded trim as his first one. It works, but I hate the adjustment mechanism it has, it's finicky. The tiny footplate on it's harder to handle than the nice big extended squared plate on the DW.

I just had some wallpaper installed and it came out great. I was cleaning up the room that night and accidentally made a small tear in the wallpaper.Is it possible for a wallpaper installer to patch an area? Or replace a single sheet of the wall?

>>2972347Yeah those amazon chink companies have notoriously shitty image creators for their products.
>>2972346If you buy this, it the image is a 1:1 size of the product you'll get.
>>2972367Well that's good because I have kernels of corn the size of your fist... Kek!I've been toying around with the idea of getting one of those pelletizer grinders for making food pellets for livestock. Probably not actually practical but could be fun...
>>2972127Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-1SzpZPmlY&t=281s
>>2972376I bought a meat grinder off the internet once. Stupid me didn't really think to look at the dimensions because I've only ever seen them be a standard size. When it got here it looked like a toy. You could make grind up a half a chicken breast at a time. I considered it a lesson learned and threw it away.
