I was building a cabin without intention of it being a full-time living space, but now circumstances have changed and I'm probably going to be living in it full-time. I am now trying to squeeze storage space out of anywhere I can find it, and it occurred to me that I could use the "crawl space" under the floor to build a number of really big drawers. I can probably figure out how to build the boxes themselves, but the problem I have is making the slides.The ground is ungraded so they have to be hanging, can't ride on anything in the ground.I'm thinking of only letting the drawers come out a little bit less than halfway, so that the other half is always under the rails, and leverage is minimized. I also think that using gate hardware is the way to go.I don't know anything about building gates though. Or huge-ass drawers for that matter, so now I'm at a loss about how to actually proceed. cantilever gate rollers look like a good solution, but how many should there be and where should they go? Is there another type of hardware that you'd recommend?
>>2988401If you're only pulling them out halfway anyway, then just put some rollers on them and give them board "rails" to roll in. Or steel if you want srs bsns stuff.
>>2988406what kind of rollers would you recommend?
Careful doing this... floor joist systems are designed to a maximum load capacity, typically 40 lbs/sqft for residential living areas per building code. This accounts for a maximum load of occupants, appliances, furniture, etc.If you now add a bunch of huge drawers suspended from the underside of the floor platform and filled with stuff, you may start getting close to the load limit, or exceed it, causing your floor to start feeling like a trampoline or potentially even collapse.If you're going to do this, you should really try to figure out some way to bear that weight on the ground rather than the floor platform. Unless you sized out the joist sizes & spacing to a rating far more than was required by code.
Anything stored under there has to be OK with moisture/humidity since it's essentially outside.
>House was made in the 50s>The previous owner was absolute shit tier handyman, there was things in the house literally held together with fishing line>these old stairs are covered in weak tile that was also cut poorly and glued poorly, looks badAny idea on what to do considering what these stairs look like? IMO they don't look like they were originally meant to be bare wood, but the tile doesn't look good and I want it to go.
Tile can look fine if done right.
apologies for the shitty rotation in the OPHere is what it looks like undernearth the tiles
Remove tile, sand down to bare wood, apply stain and finish.
>finally buy some land>bare land 30min from townits fun and all but ok, i have $1000usd to spend to be able to shit there. how do I build a toilet for that cheap? I was thinking a vault toilet like a campsite but idk how long they last between pumping also idk if I want to dig that much dirt out.can I just like dig a cesspit 300ft away from the main area and just run a turd pipe over to it and have it dump into the pit?
>>2986036Get a used IBC for $100 and worry about disposal when it’s full. They can be buried if done right and you only have to haul them once every 250 gallons. Disposal companies will take them, for a fee, but probably less than the septic vacuum guy charges. Camping people just take a porta potty they empty every few days
shit in a bucket, and pour it inot the gas station toilet on your way home.

>>2986471Well the 480V stuff is fun as I’m learning. 120V residential is a little spark if you short something. 480V gives you a nice pop and welded those connectors to the contactor instantly.

Just finished building this guitar pedal. The enclosure is CNC'd from a solid piece of walnut, and the decorations are CNC engraved into 2mm copper. The orange and green are vitreous enamel, which is glass powder mixed with water and applied like paint, then fired in a kiln. Shoved a bunch of huge Vishay Dale RN60 mil spec resistors in there for good measure. Would love to see some other builds, or even other enamel work if anyone is doing that kind of thing.
>>2988597Ah I see, makes sense. I'll admit I partly went with the Vishays because of the aesthetic.>>2988605Thank you thank you, I was hoping that detail would turn out well and the Gavitt wire did not disappoint
>>2988583What kind of pedal is it?
>>2988671This one is a delay - more specifically the circuit is the Seabed Delay from PedalPCB, which is a PT2399 based delay. Very nice sounding analog-style delay.
>>2988583Gorgeous. The patina you'll get on the copper will be interesting. I don't quite get the mil-spec resistor and cloth wire aesthetic but I'm not a guitarist either.It's got me thinking for sure. For a one-off is it remotely economical to order out a CNC'ed enclosure these days? or is it really something you should already have invested in as a hobby?
>>2988681I'm also curious about any future patina - I put a coating of Renaissance Wax on the copper pieces which I've had good results with on my copper/enamel jewelry pieces. Definitely seems to ward off fingerprints and the typical darker patina that shows up within a few months if the wax isn't on there.I'm honestly not sure about getting someone else to CNC an enclosure, in my cursory searches I couldn't really find anyone who would do a one-off out of walnut. Maybe if you had a local shop and could provide the materials? Certainly might be cheaper than buying a CNC machine, but I will say that the Genmitsu has been an incredible value for the price
Power stationsGeneratorsPower generation.No meme no larp.I just bought a Dabson 2048 over a generator as a power solution for outages.I did this because I don't know what the future price or access of gas will be. I live rurally and have very little power needs. The most I would need power for is to power a brooder plate or keep a fridge on.I can cook with propane and wood and I heat my home with wood. I plan on getting a solar panel to charge the power station in the event of weeks or months long power outages.Is there anything I'm missing or didn't think about or reasons why a power station is dumb? I have had several generators in the past and when you really need them there is always something wrong with it or you gotta go get fuel so I got a power station instead hoping it better serves my needs.Keep a fridgeCharge a phonePlug in my fan on my fireplaceLightThat's about all I'd need it for. I got the idea because in the past I used DeWalt batteries attached to an inverter to keep a brooder on during an outage.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>2986727The idea is to have excess so I can eventually go fully automated green house and maybe even power a water pump for the pond outside.
>>2986733Well it's fine for that. I don't see the price outside US, in my experience full kits are usually somewhat overpriced and I'd usually prefer an all-in-one solar inverter, but it's probably alright as is. Ecoworthy batteries usually don't have bad reviews, either. The one thing you won't be reliably running from this is a well pump for watering, if you wanted that, you'd need at least twice as big an inverter.
>>2986726Op here. Hijack away. Im good now. I ended up getting a second station cause I work really rurally. A Anker c1000. I can't complain, it's what I wanted. A car battery sized 120v.I use the dabbsson as a ups on my router, fridge, etc.
>>2986735Nah. We've got plumbing that can run to the greenhouse. More just filtration decorative waterfall with like a foot or two of vertical. I think I can get away with a little 900gph pump that's only 45W.
>>2982119>I have had several generators in the past and when you really need them there is always something wrong with it or you gotta go get fuelYou should try doing maintenance
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.
>>2988522How do you discharge? do you just connect the screw driver to ground and touch the cap's terminals?
>>2988540Normally you discharge through a high-value resistor using a screwdriver with an electrically insulated handle and a wire with alligator clips on either end. Clip one end of the wire to the screwdriver shaft and the other to a resistor that is firmly connected to ground.
>>2988545and then touch the screwdriver to the cap terminals.
>>2988540>>2988545As he said already but make sure the screwdriver has the right rating 2500v rating should be fine for most miscrowave caps and make sure you got a good connection to ground, and also this is just a rule for high voltage don't touch stuff with both your hands if you are discharging the cap use one hand only

Told Ms. Bitch the waitress that in 5 seconds I was going to take a piss in the bathroom or in my pants, “right here in front of you.” She told me to go outside, I looked her in the face and just unloaded right there. Best piss I ever took. They were free company pants anyway. She called the cops and they told her she should’ve let me use the bathroom. That was of my happiest moments. It’s the little things in this life, ya know?And yes we did. Only black chick I’ve ever banged, actually.

Hi /diyi'm building an allsky camera and I'd like it to be fully power autonomous.I bought a 100W Dokio solar panel which seems to be working fine.I tried loading a lead battery: no problem.I draw something like 0,6A during the night, therefore the battery discharges.The issue is whn the battery is below 10,7V, it should cut the load and wait for the sun to reload it.During the night, the controler didn't stop and I found the battery at 7V this morning (yes I know, it's screwed)Do you guys have any experience with these cheap solar controler? Why does mine didn't stop?
>>2988648>>2988647discharge stop is 10,7Vdischarge reconnect is 12,6Vfloat voltage is 13,7VI concur with your diagnosis, chinked. Indeed the solar controler looks pretty cheap. Thanks for the link. The solar panel seems to output a great deal of power though.The "powmr" manager looks pretty neet. What I'd like to do is monitor voltage/current from all the sources/loads. These devices doesn't seem to provide any measurement. Do you know any of these controler that might offer measure and communication protocol that I'd plug into the RPi?One issue is that ground voltage is not common with load/battery ground therefore if I make something with an ESP32 like you suggested, I'll need a differential comparator circuit, and shunt for current probing. Any tips on these kind of circuit?>>2988648It should draw something like 10mA for the controller. Thanks for your insight.
>>2988655>One issue is that ground voltage is not common with load/battery groundI mean ground voltage from solar panel isn't common to ground from load and battery ground, the 2 later are common.
>>2988655>communication protocolLook around aliexpress, if it exists, it will be there. But I'd assume the ones with comms, usually modbus, are gonna be a fair amount more expensive, and more targeted for large systems, i.e. not going to measure 10-50mA currents accurately.>Any tips on these kind of circuit?Just don't make them, buy everything as modules on aliexpress. They have current shunts and voltage sensor boards for any given voltage/amp range for cents. >>2988656Your solar panel doesn't matter really, the main things you need monitored are battery voltage and battery current. Also you could replace the entire solar charge controller with the esp32, then you could do whatever you want. You just need some fancy MOSFET to handle the peak current, one mosfet/npn for switching, bunch of fuses, one blocking diode. But it's a lot of work for nothing if you just want the camera to work, for that, all you need is a working charge controller.
>>2988657thanks for the down to earth & quick advice.I'm making a python program on the RPi to log the battery voltage and try to change the controller parameters if it might help.clear skies to you

Tell me courses or books or videos to learn how to solder pleasePleasePLEASE I BEG YOU
>>2988158I want to learn as a hobby. In like 4th grade me and my dad got a kit to make a small radio transmitter. It was fun. So it's probably good for other hobbies.
>>2988158I worked in an electronics factory for a short while this year, did soldering pretty much full time. It's fun. Though I got kicked out again because the factory is not competitive with this kind of work in Western Europe and they had to scale down shortly after I got hired.I think I would like welding a bit more too, welding is a skill that can be applied in many DIY projects too. Maybe I'll take that up.
>>2988158If you do manly shit its handy as hell. For example, and can save you a lot of time and money. Welding leaf springs and axle mounts on trailers come to mind. Welding nuts on broken bolts. flip houses bro, i bet you buy new stuff and hate fun and welded diffs so it doesnt matter
>>2988312Oh I LOVE fun and DIY projects, it’s just that my fun and DIY projects may differ greatly from everyone else on here and isn’t blue board material.
