Tiny home thread
>>2963607RV without a working engine means no heating, cooling or recharging the batteryso you would have to work around those issues RV also means no insulation so when you do have a heating/cooling set up it'll take more energy maintain a tempcould still be a cheaper option but it needs to be considered
>>2956070tiny home on 5+ acres of private land is cooltiny home in an RV park or your mom's backyard is gay
>>2956070Tiny homes are pure cope.
>>2956070i really don't understand this trend. i build houses and am a pretty good carpenter, i built my uncle a 26x28' pole barn for $8k in materials. that doesn't include doors and windows, but for $20k in materials you could have a 625 sqft house instead of whatever the fuck these tiny homes are. that's a 25x25 square, two 12.5x12.5 bedrooms, a 5x12.5 bath with a wardrobe in it, and then a 12.5x20 living room kitchen combo. if you are ambitious you can do a 6/12 or higher pitch roof and have a loft for either an office or a third bedroom.
>>2964095Some places it would cost 20K just in permits and inspections before you even buy materials.
Chainsaw thread. What chainsaws are you guys using and what things you like or dislike about them? Would you pick a different saw if you would be buying one today? Also do you fix and maintain them yourself or use shop?
>>2962401how about i buy my cock 30 minutes with your bussy for 5 bucks?
>>2961182You can get a plastic handle fiskars for like $150 now, and if you're carrying it around, that's a lot of value.I've never purchased a wooden axe, I just buy an old axe bit and handle it myself. There are a thousand good axe heads just sitting around because the handle broke.
For storm cleanup and general disaster preparedness in the northeast US with a budget of under $500 or so, what's the best saw to get?Looking at used Echo and new Holzfforma, it looks like I could get a 70-something cc Holzfforma but only a 50-something CC Echo. It also looks like there's more Stihl dealers near me than Husqvarna and Echo, would they even work on a clone though?Or should I look at something else entirely? I just have an old random corded Craftsman right now, which obviously has a lot of limitations.
>>2963644Stihl dealers will not work on a clone. Lots won't even sell you parts for them.It's worth it to take your time and watch for a good deal. Unless you are dealing with a lot of very large trees the 50-60cc saws are good. Sharp chain and good technique are better than raw horsepower any day.
>>2935829Dewalt 20 volt. Had the 60 volt but batteries shit the bed and I haven't gotten around to fixing them. Have used the 20 volt for 10 years now and have used it to cut 90% of the wood I use to heat my home in Northern Saskatchewan.It's slower, but it's super light and amazingly quiet, which is the main appeal for me. And the 60 volt batteries from temu work awesome, giving me 15 minutes each of bucking dry spruce and pine.Picrel slats from local mill you could pick up by the trailer load for free.

The apartment I live in now has a hydronic heating system (baseboard heaters with copper pipes) For the past two years I've been in this apartment I've noticed the heaters are barely warm to the touch and the apartment never reaches the temp on the thermostat. On cold winter nights the apartment barely gets past 63 degrees even though the dial is set to 73.I've told this to my landlord and he just says "the walls arent insulated very well so it will probably be chilly"I looked inside the thermostat and its a 3 wire zone type system, Red, White, Green (Y). I am only getting 12.2V when i test R to GI dont get any amps when I connect R to W. There is a heat actuator dial inside the thermostat from .15A to 1.2A and it may be inproperly set, but without reading any amps I dont know what it should be at. Really my question is: how do I tell the landlord to inspect my thermostat system without telling him I went in there and checked it out already? if I say that its still too cold in the apartment he might dismiss me again, and if I tell him there's something wrong with the voltage he may have have me evicted for fucking with the thermostat.
>>2963755Ask Jeeves how to bleed air out of the loop.
>>2964040Thats so crappy... i get the basic operation, im just 95% on what goes where and how it signals the boiler/valves and whatnot. If it only switches on/off forheat or no heat, i bet a somewhat big neodymium magnet could hold that switch open all the time without breaking the houses thing.If you bleed out any amount of air you need to fill the system too... Maybe its automatic in a big system like that i dont know, i only manage my own system.Look at thiscrappy fucking mechanical timer/thermostat that was installed here when i moved in, an absolute joke today. Ezpz shunt valve motor and wireless house unit runs laps around it now.

>>2964091>>2964126Now I'm wondering: Where do I get my hands on an IMX585? The Ali sites only have a shitty IP-Camera with a proprietary board that absolutely sucks ass, other than that there's big ass systems for astro-photography that cost like 500 bucks.I want something like this: https://radxa.com/products/accessories/camera4k/ just with an IMX585.
>>2964015Just corp shit.
>>2964091Rock Pis you are using are on RK3399 which is horribly inefficient and heats like a motherfucker. Switch to something on the newer RK3588, it's much faster and runs cooler. I used Orange Pi 5 and it has three CSI ports too. Also has NPU if you want to fiddle with AI on the camera feed.
>>2964136Yeah, I've pivoted to the Rock 5 (B+ or T, not sure yet), they also have the 3588(J):https://radxa.com/products/rock5/5t/>Also has NPU if you want to fiddle with AI on the camera feed.That's the plan, I want to use OpenCV to blur faces.
is this worth it? should i just get a new one?
>>2963992>Get me off this ride.You know some guy's wife bought those as a Christmas present for her grill master... My wife is pretty stoked about the frying pan spatulas though, so overall it was definitely worth it.
>>2963992Oh and don't forget you can put that on your 3 month payment plan through amazon... It's only like $25 a month that way! Way more affordable than $60 all at once! We're all doomed aren't we?
>>2963997>My wife is pretty stoked about the frying pan spatulas thoughI have a stainless non-stick one but it's got a big bonded heat distribution thing on the bottom that would make it far too thick for a spatula and apparently you can't remove it without effectively destroying the pan
>>2964005Yeah I cut into one of those too but it was deep walled and looked retarded so it ended up going to the scrap yard... Also the stainless itself wasn't that thick, which makes sense because of it was thick it would cost a ton and be completely overkill.

What is the largest, heaviest, or just plain most ridiculous/absurd thing you've ever had shipped to your place that was DIY related? With some of these free shipping deals you can find online there's not really a reason not to order ridiculous crap and have it sent to your doorstep. I've ordered a 6x26 mill from Harbor Freight, a couple engine short blocks off e-bay. Eight 18.4-38 tractor tires at one time and several other sets of rear tractor tires 4 at a time. My old man bought a 2 post lift, tire machine, and log splitter from Northern tool as well as a couple of bandsaws from Grizzly and a box and pan brake from Enco. Most of the big stuff comes on a freight truck, but the smaller stuff is a lot of times just your standard UPS or Fedex driver. Have ordered quite a few sets of 4 pickup tires. Sometimes 3 or 4 sets at a time. Those always came Fedex. Had the UPS man deliver five 1/2" thick SSQA plates. Bet he loved me for that. Ammo is always heavy as hell, as well as steel and lead bought off the internet. Might have just outdone myself this time though. Just ordered twenty-two 235/85/16 load range F trailer tires from Wal-mart.com... Might have to give that poor bastard a Christmas tip.
A lot of times when we purchase something particularly large we have to arrange shipping ourselves and freight quotes are absurd. Old man drove 600 miles to pick up a dozen 24ft portable working-lot panels for cattle before. Probably the largest thing we've had shipped was a $1200 Amazon tire machine. For whatever god forsaken reason none of the tire shops around us will do implement tires, and we were tired of wrestling them with tire spoons. Split the cost with with the old man, and to my mild surprise it works really well.
>>2963957>For whatever god forsaken reason none of the tire shops around us will do implement tiresThat is absolutely retarded. The tire shops around here probably pay most of their bills on implement tires alone. I still do 99% of my own tires. Once in awhile I'll call in a mobile guy to tackle some retarded shit. Rim clamp machines work amazingly well. Here's an ancient pic of mine. I've gotten pretty damn good with the spoons and a slide hammer bead breaker though too.
>>2963929this one looked pretty silly to me when it showed up. came from pennsylvania all the way to the left coast on ltl freight about a week before yellow inc foldedfree shipping on ebay from a truck wrecker yard
>>2964025Nice, what'd you have to give for that bad boy? I should probably put something like that on my service truck. What kind of hydraulic flow does it take to run it?
>>2964122i think like $1700 circa 2021i wasnt very impressed with it. it was an overdriven 4 cyl recip and 6 months after i sold the truck the guy that bought it came and asked about it because it had locked upnot sure on the pump size. it was a good sized load sense that would run that compressor at rated 1350 rpm = 11gpm @ 1100 engine rpmhttps://fleettruck.net/products/american-eagle-30p-30-cfm-hydraulic-drive-single-stage-air-compressor
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?
>>2963787What do you mean "5 inch filter"? Cause it's not 5 inches thick, and it's not 5 inches long or wide, either.I haven't bought a single filter in my life, personally, but if this is actually a real thing and not a typo, then that's a retarded system of measurement and the person who invented that should repent, because he's definitely going to hell for forcing us to use something this ridiculous and misleading.
>>2963868What kind of furnace is it? Some furnaces actually take a fiberglass filter in the airbox because the purpose is to trap big particles and keep hair and shit out of the blower motor, not air quality. If you want an air filter, you are typically meant to put them in the air vents into the rooms themselves. If I had to guess about what's happening, the box isn't getting enough airflow over the extended runtime and it's shutting down the heat cycle.
>>2963903>What kind of furnace is it?Carrier Performance 93 from 2004.
>>2963868>What do you mean "5 inch filter"?I just meant thicker ones have better airflow, not worse. 2" thick has better airflow than 1", etc.This is such because they are accordion style, so a 5" slat has way more surface area for the air to pass through than a 1" one.And, you don't want a small particle filter (Merv 11, in your case), as they restrict airflow too muchFor air filtration, look into box fan + filter setups. There is an active thread on them.
>>2964004That's nonsense, speak English!
Hello best friends, its me the guy who asked if I should become a concrete plant manager 2 months ago. I am now. I promise I will send you guys only the hottest loads already going off slightly wetter than you ordered,1 hour late with 200 dough balls in them.
>>2964087Yeah idk I see it all of the time so I have a pretty good understanding of how it works. I wouldnt pour my own house but a driveway or a patio or something fuck it. But yeah I've been on COD jobs where the customer clearly has no idea what they're doing (even if they framed and graveled it up very well) and then you have to judge how much of their pride you'll hurt in front of their family if you start making suggestions that show they dont have a clue. Some people are receptive, most have something to prove and want to suffer. Takes a little finesse to tease out which situation you're dealing with without hurting anyone's pride. But those kinds of jobs at least where I live are super rare.
>>2964102Yeah the forming and prep work is all easy and can be done at a leisurely pace if your life allows but once the concrete truck is there it's like a timer is on and you need to get it out of the truck, screeded level, bull floated and finished within a certain amount of time or you just threw away thousands of dollars. And screeding, floating and finishing are all difficult tasks that require experience to be done correctly. Maybe you're more patient that the truck drives i have to deal with ha ha.
>>2964106I'm one of the best. That mus is good for at least three hours as long as you tell the driver to keep if workable its fine. The min problem is people thinking anything actually gets poured at a real 5, it never happens. Its going to be realistically a 7 or 8. Wet it up to the point you can actually move that shit around, get 2 or 3 yards out, screed it and move on. After spray some water on if and float it then brush it if you want. The trucks have plenty of water even if it takes you two hours but keep it workable. Nobody pours a 4 unless its a hand curb or steps in a footing and nobody pours an actual 5 for anything else ever. I see mud get tested every single day, the slumps that get functionally utilized arent what you think. Even big commercial jobs that order a 7 with water reduced will put another 20 gallons on 10 yards.
>>2964118I made some typos but I think the message is clear enough, I need to go to sleep but I can check this thread tomorrow
>>2964097This. I'm just a hack farmer, but hell at least do 5 or 6" >>2964102I don't claim to know what I'm doing and will take any and all advise from the concrete truck guy at any time. Some of em even hop in and help from time to time, not expected, but damn well appreciated. I'm too old, fat and out of shape to mess with concrete much. It absolutely fucks me up. I'm really not all that fat either, but I have zero flexibility and everything hurts.

>>2964046Very interesting. I didn't use Ham Study for mine: I just read the boring ass book then memorized the questions and answers.
>>2964058Ham Study is free and the same concept as memorizing the book plus it keeps track of your progress and offers practice tests. From my experience when you're batting 80% on those, you're ready for a real test.The FCC Commercial tests are about as hard as the General test (minus the first element which is Tech tier). You pay $25-50 to a COLEM (VEC) for testing and the FCC's $35 per license. The license is good for life and tied to your same FCC FRN.Just throwing it out there. I kind of felt sad after getting my Extra that there weren't any more FCC tests. Turns out there are. I've picked up a few commercial licenses and have a few to go.
>>2964046What do I get outof it except bragging rights and an additional credential? I don't use radars nor care about repairing or maintaining the radios listed in the part that requires the license? Am I missing something like being able to use frequencies outside the ham band without consequence and a required business license?

So, together with a friend, we have decided to make our own console for fun and giggles. This surely is an undertaking but this is an idea we were considering for a long time and as we got more and more experienced with circuits, embedded programming, 3d printing and stuff like that, I feel like it would be finally in our reach.I never really looked at other people's similar projects, I have no idea what I'm doing honestly, but I can write code and I can use google so I think we will figure it out and get there eventually.I will post our progress in this thread.
I've finished all the graphical primitives, sprites and friend has finished text related functions. Which means all the graphical API got finished(except for one function). That is not all of the graphics related functionality though, there is still bunch of registers that can alter how things are drawn, but they can wait for later.With majority of pico8 api implemented I can start running games. Friend's game worked on first try and so does all the carts I wrote so far. However only in the emulator. If I try to run anything but basic carts on the esp I quickly run out of stack or heap or both. This calls for refactor and optimizations, and that's what I will focus on right now.>>2959096>>2959100Thanks. I will try to do something similar to include d-pad in final version too. It will be much better suited for pico8 games than an analog.
>>2961131lol rust
>>2961139Can't blame them, it's easier
Well, we got a problem. While I took some time to clean things up, refactor the code and fix some things that never worked before(eg backtraces) I figured out that the crashes I was getting on the real hardware were caused by strange psram corruption. Eventually I realised I configured it wrong, but even after changing it from quad to octal(which fixed size detection which was broken) more and more weird things started happening. Sometimes the probe couldn't connect to the board, even if I managed to flash it 90% of time it just gets stuck in rom bootloader, sometimes it just seemingly halts when I try to add the memory region to its dedicated allocator. I am suspecting some hardware issue since I did run it wrongly configured for a good while and fucked up connecting it some time ago drawing too much power through gpio. But I also don't see why would it manifest like that, it might as well be problem with probe software or compiler miscompilation or something with my code or even usb port. Either way I ordered another dev kit and will have to test various set ups in both Rust and maybe C++-IDF and try to nail down the actual cause.
>>2964080>Well, we got a problem.I think you need more breadboards and longer wires.

I melted down a bunch of abs plastic thingies from Optima batteries (they always come with like 5 sets of adapters with each battery) in a coffee can on a turkey roaster burner. Tried pouring ingots into a muffin pan but they would freeze on the surface and then crack and bubble out... I'm guessing I need to put it in some kind of compressible sealed mold to get actual decent quality plastic stock out of it.
