hi diy, so, im building a diy shower, it will be used only for a year or so, so it doesn't have to be facy but functional. i need help with the drain layout. in this pic you see basic materials used but in next one ill explain the whole idea and doubt.you can see a :70x70cm shower tray (upside down)the siphon and some pvc for the tube.i need to connect the shower to a 30mm pvc drain but also i need to add a second connection for a washing machine drain, both the shower and the washing machine will share the same drain. next post.
>>2981142>and it needs a P-trapi see one in ops pic
>>2981360?
>>2981420
>>2981438that's a drain assembly
>>2981563its a flask trap, same function as a p trap with almost no footprint
I’m looking for advice on how to mount two levels of IKEA METOD suspension rails on a wall where a very thick drywall layer sits in front of a Porotherm hollow‑brick wall.Wall structure:• Drywall (double gypsum board + metal studs), total thickness ~115 mm• Behind it: load‑bearing Porotherm wall• Two rows of METOD rails needed (upper + lower)• Lower row has some reinforcement, but contractor still suggests anchoring into Porotherm• Upper row has no reinforcement at allMain issue:Because the drywall layer is so deep, drilling reaches far into the wall and I can’t see what happens behind the gypsum board. I want to ensure the rails are safely anchored and able to support kitchen cabinets.Questions:1. What is the safest anchoring method for heavy kitchen cabinets on a thick drywall + hollow‑brick combination?2. How do professionals usually handle cases where the structural wall is far behind the drywall surface?Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Anchors suck for this type of work. The rail looks like a whatever ikea flavored french cleat. I would try predrilling and throwing long pancake head screws. If I could pull them straight back out with about 50 lbs, then it will have to be anchored or toggled. Silicone and PL400 make a pretty permanent combo. I would consider gluing the rail up too. It's not make or break, and it will make demolition worse. Depending on how the cabinets are constructed, you could support the rail with another 1x4. Keep in mind that you probably need to keep that stupid rail linear with a straight edge. Most walls are an ocean. I join cabinets perfectly in the face frame then shim them to fit the waves the framers and drywallers left behind.
My kitchen didn’t come with an exhaust and the microwave recirculating fan isn’t cutting it. Want to run a duct through the ceiling and to the outside but don’t want to cut a hole in my roof. Found this YouTube video and pretty much exactly what I want to do. If the CFM is high enough from the fan, can I have my pipe go up, make a 90 degree in the attic, then another 90 down out of the soffit? Or should I consult an HVAC company. Not sure what kind of issue I could be creating with pressure. https://youtu.be/tDzsOKYaflg?si=hRxAh9AZ1_LHRktB

Chainsaw?I alre have a glass one and a small electric one but should I get a big one?I'm kinda running out of wood on the property also.
>>2974243will electric be there for you when the apocalypse comes?
>>2981258solar panels will probobly be putting out electricity from the sun long after all of the gasoline has gone bad.
>>2974243Depends how long you work for, and where. The big benefit of electric is easy starting, never any issues which the 2 strokes ones always have.However the batteries don't last that long. I have 5 batteries and 2 charging stations for a full day work. You're going to need to swap out every 45 minutes or so, which is similar to the gas powered ones needing to be refueled but the charging time is the problem. On a multi-day job you're not going to be able to keep them all topped up. Also the machines are good but still a bit less powerful than the gas powered ones.>>2975778> chainsaw with a cordAre you retarded or do you live on a postage stamp sized yard. Not to mention the cord getting tangled in the cutoff branches.
>>2974243I would highly rec getting a chinese farmertec, they are stihl reps and are fantastic value for the moneyi personally own the 660 clone and it works like a charm for felling on my property; im felling 30"+ trees though, so if you have 12-24" logs/trees etc. you probably should get something smaller as the 660 will kill you
>>2981432>after all of the gasoline has gone bad.I hate this retarded meme.Gasoline can soak up moisture, but it doesn’t go “bad” without moisture. All “bad” gasoline is, is gasoline that’s absorbed some fucking water in it, enough desiccants or treating it will probably let you store/reuse it even after it’s filled with moisture. The only concern with the water is steam damage in the pistons/injectors.
or "whore stories" if you have any.butt mostly "deals gone bad" and how RE Agents fucked someone, or you, and how The Process generally sucks ass and should be fed into a wood chipper.I need these examples, and I figure this is best place even though not technically DIY, I'm doing a project that needs this info from mostly a DIY friendly perspective, not a Trophy Wife perspective.Thx in advance, when my Project's true nature reveals itself you will like it.Bascially, right now, I need examples to show a few people how the existing "Process" needs to mostly end and be replaced with new regime.

Does anyone practice an artistic craft such as glass art, wood carving, ceramics, painting little objects, and so on? What do you do and what are the most satisfying things you've done in it? Advice for people who want to get started?
>>2980924what does that mean? I assume it's a type of cheese based on the pic
I'm learning hot glassworking. Here's my latest thing.

I bought a 1992 Transporter. It was used by some tv company in the 90s and then abandoned.There are fucklodes of work. I want to repaint the van with a roller after fixing all the rust. I noticed that there is a fuckton of putty on both sides above the door rail. Everywhere else on the body there's just paint.Is this normal or am I about to find out major issues underneath? I have my fingers crossed that Volkswagen did this on purpose for some weird reason. I mean this looks like the only coat of paint.Do I have to remove all of the body filler (which could be 50% of the car) or do I just find the spot where it won't come off anymore and then apply new filler?
>>2981270If you wanna go full hawg strip the bondo all off and do proper body work. If not then chip/flake/peel it back to the point it is properly adhered and not full of rust behind it and then acid etch the exposed rust off and reapply as thin of a layer as you can of fiber reinforced filler to get it close to level, then apply regular filler for the last little bit to bring it up level. Use a long flat sanding block and aggressive sandpaper to block it down flat again then fill pinholes with spot putty and hit with some primer surfacer and d/a sand smooth to prep for paint.
>>2981273I have no idea why you decided to be an asshole all over this threadWhat pisses me off more than anything is people who get pissed off when someone isn't an expert in what they personally happen to be an expert in.I'm a theoretical physicist but I don't go around getting pissed off about how everyone is an IQ 60 moron these days and couldn't solve a first degree equation. And that's a real problem. Knowing how to paint cars isn't something that a human being absolutely has to know how to do. Most people don't.Fuck you and go back to /b/ or something. I see assholes like you day in day out contributing fuck all to threads, just coming in to gasp at OP not knowing how to do some ultra specific thing.
>>2981270Hate to say it, but I'm betting you have rust under most of that body mud.Suck it up, and try flaking away the putty around that exposed area. I bet you find more of the same corrosion..But if you get lucky you can use Anon 2981291's suggestion, and just feather and fill the affected area.As to paint with a roller?You can, I've painted more than a few beater cars with tractor paint and a roller. It looks ... "Okay". Still better than the friend of mine who used a straw broom to paint a trailer. Best of luck with the ride, OP.
>>2981270You’re going to need to strip off that body filler.Bondo is made of polystyrene dust and resin, so you can soften it with a heat gun if necessary.As one anon said, acid etch off the rust.Then apply a coat or two of zinc primer.You can actually get primers with a heavy build to sand later if need be.… if you want to put that much money/time into it.How’s the engine? If it’s still good then maybe worth it.
>>2981301>>2981306OP here. Thank you. Old vans are super sought after in my country, for many reasons. I got this one for cheap because it had been sitting in a barn for 20 years, interior covered in shit, exterior all rusty as you can see.But the engine is good. Has little mileage on it. This van has the longer wheel base and two sliding doors which is one of the most desireable configurations.It has no emission bullshit like AdBlue, particulate trap or EGR. Just a 2.4 liter diesel engine. No modern comforts, absolutely none. That's what I love about this van. It's great for someone who wants to do all the repairs himself.But yeah the exterior is super rough and replacing parts is more my thing. In the past I've fixed small rust problems with Rust Converter and Hammerite. But it's not enough.Tomorrow I'll take an angle grinder and clean off the rust to see what I'm dealing with.

Dear /diy/,I am not commonly writing here but I know there are many tech-buffs when it comes to handicrafts lurking around.My question is as follows: I want to learn technical drawing. Are there any good resources on the matter?>tl;dr: Please give me resources to learn technical drawing from beginner to advanced level on your own.
>>2979291You can shove that piece of metal up your ass
>>2979923thanks.read it.well...i am 31 years old now and just am amazed by the technical drawings in general. they are the most precise, they are super easy to comprehend and i want to learn it.we are in the age of computer, but the age of free information is kind of closing. there are certain websites. there are certain books. there is still some kind of connectivity by internet. but it turned... shallow.well... usa did more things good. thanks for your insights on the matter. despite being a bit rough. i am a bit rough myself.
>>2979227I'll second Giesecke. I have the 4th edition (1958). Used to be a thrift store staple when every engineer took drafting. Maybe it still is. You can probably skip everything after the sketching chapter (chapter 5 in mine) unless you want to be a draftsman or CAD designer. Then Henning Nelms, Thinking With a Pencil.
>>2979652i wanna learn those sick freehand perspective drawings which are simultaneously 2d and 3d
>>2979178>>2981196As in technical drawing by hand? It's not super hard. I learned it in middle school in the late 90s. It's mainly a matter of understanding space and perspective and working cleanly. The latter was the harder part for me.
Is there anyway to make a body mod that allows you to feel radio waves from a distance?
Duct tape a radio to your head. Problem solved
>>2979832This led to the finding of Spies in The US
>>2976702>stick a radio up your ass.That would never fit though
>>2980349how do you know..
>>2976703A vibrator connected to a crystal radio?
General tipsFreeze your superglue. It keeps it from drying out
>>2980483I just put it in the fridge, no need for freezing
>>2980483Store your paint cans upside down
>>2981025>Store your paint cans upside downDo you ever get any catastrophic leakage like from the cans getting warm and popping the lids off enough for them to seep badly all over your shelves? Makes sense that it would keep the solvents from evaporating out upwards.
>>2981028I've got a small leakage right after storing the can upside down, but it usually stops after one day or so.But my paint cans are not stored in a place where it gets very hot. So... I don't know
>>2980483Works with tubes of caulk and all sorts of sealants as well.Also wire nuts work great for covering an opened tube of caulk.And if you need to discharge a capacitor, lay a gecko across the terminals to short it out.
Can anyone tell what these are?
>>2975694Not a single bed bug, in two weeks.I think it's mites
looks like a dust mite, which if the Magnification is 100xbut if your wool blanket is old it could cause some allergy issues
>>2973509the toilet (in this country at least)
>>2979289>but if your wool blanket is old it could cause some allergy issuesExplain. Because of the wool itself or because of the mites?
>>2973497Jews. Exterminate them.
how do you clean this ? I tried scrubbing the fuck out of it and it's not coming off
>>2969983my old tub kind of looked the same and i just had a brillo pad and i would just press and scrub with my foot when i was showering and over time it cleaned up
mr clean magic eraser
>>2970979All these mad lads telling you to polish it are going to get you kilt, anon.You'll slip and rekt your shit beyond return.Don't die in the tub.
>>2976257that was horrible
Lysol Power toilet bowl cleaner, the kind with 10% hydrochloric acid. It's not very dangerous but wear gloves and eye protection. The same properties that make the stuff so effective on toilet bowl scale also disintegrates soap scum on contact.
Are these a meme? Are they ok to live in? Are they meant to last?Thinking about buying some land and having one of these shipped to me. How fleeced do you get paying someone else to put it together?I worked for a guy who built these but I only lasted like 2 weeks on the job before getting hurt so I didn't get to see much of the process.
they are awesome for cold dry environments. any humidity or constant rain and they suck. that's pretty much it.
>>2979756Yeah when I first started working for that guy it was the first time I ever used a skill saw, much less the huge one to cut the logs, so all of my cuts were crooked and the logs didn't really fit together. The owner just went behind me filling up all the gaps with this glue stuff with a grim expression on his face.
>>2977953they are very good to live in but not done in a mcmansion style with american roofing standards. you will get leaks and the logs will rot. buildt it in one stretch with no angles or fancy design elements on the roof.
>>2980938what about this
Wonder how many that are built now are just normal stick frame buildings with log planes used as siding?
How do I get the fart smell out of my couch? My mom had a friend over and she had to go to the store quickly. Was hoping I could hook up with this gilf and put some moves on her especially since I had just showered. But then she sat next to me on the couch was was like "this couch smells kind of musty". I played it cool and said "yeah I've been drilling farts into this bad boy all day". She looked grossed out and just stood up and went into the kitchen. She'll probably be back at some point and I want another shot how do I get my couch smelling good I sprayed it with some axe body spray but now my mom's pissed and says it smells bad. How do I get it really fresh?
>>2979562Ozone machine
>>2979977All the other advice here is bullshit. Ozone machine. Seal up the room, throw all the pets out of it, fire up the ozone machine and let it run for an hour or two. Then hold your breath, run in the room and open all the windows and then run out again and shut the door behind you. Leave it to air out for an hour. Nothing in that entire room will smell like anything at all after that.Even better if you can shove the couch in a walk in closet or van before gassing it to increase the penetration. $50 on Amazon
>>2979562>Couch smells like fartsit's not farts. couches do not retain fart smells.
>>2979567Nah bro I do it all the time
>>2979978My mom sat in the car with the ozone machine going. She was in there for like 15 minutes. What happened to hey?
