If you haven't already mutilated your cat, get a dog and train it to piss on the cat anytime the cat tries to piss anywhere but the litterbox.

>>2978288
So do dogs, they can literally provide services well enough to get licenses and jobs, they can be trained to sniff out the most expensive substances on earth if you actually care for them and take the time to train them instead of ignoring them to play on your phone.

OP that's normal behavior for male cats during the mating season. it's how they mark territory and announce their presence for female bitches. ofc western fags always neuter and spay their cats like a ritual, so they wouldn't know the intricacies of raising a horny tom.
just spray water on him when he does it, let him go outside for prolonged periods, and have some understanding while your buddy goes through that phase. don't reduce his water intake if you value his life. kidney stones can be fatal and he's only got few years to live and fuck.
>>
>>2976885
If the litter box isn't filthy and the house isn't a mess and the cat is fixed. Then none of this should be happening. If it is your cat is fucked. Put it outside forever.

If the animal is shit then drop it off at the pound and try again. Every big city is euthanizing a hundred cats a day. I am sure one of those would be a better pet.

This is Cooper. He likes sleeping in on his bed in the garage, naps on his bed in the shop, and borking at all the other dogs in the county while riding on my flatbed pickups. Sometimes he scares the shit out of sketchy people walking in town when I get up close and he borks suddenly and loudly. He also likes to help find baby calves hidden on the prairie. He's a good boi. Possibly the best boi ever...

I'm with a community preparedness group and thinking about getting a few extra reciprocating saws to pass out to volunteers for storm/disaster cleanup that aren't trained on and can't be trusted with chainsaws.

Does this make sense? What kind of saw would you hand to a random who isn't used to doing work so they don't hurt themselves?
>>
No, they're ass for anything bigger than a broomstick.

Just have some capable guys using the saws and have them rest of them dragging shit out of the way after it's cut up. One guy on a saw can cut enough stuff to make enough work for 3-4 people in a situation like that
>>
>>2981384
this is how it works if you work for a tree cutting service, experts climb and cut and groundies drag and clean.

I was thinking if some people with recips were handling limbing, it would free up chainsaw users to get the bucking out of the way faster.

>>2981384
>No, they're ass for anything bigger than a broomstick.
A cordless sawzall with a Diablo pruning blade makes quick work of anything 4-5" or less in diameter. Hell I actually prefer one over a chainsaw for cutting old railroad ties, because a chainsaw will dull fast with all that grit and dirt.

The right blade makes a huge difference. Those pruning blades are carbide tipped and have a very aggressive tooth on them. Every other wood blade I've ever tried sucks in comparison.

The vast majority of the Stihl's I work on are still carbed, and externally adjustable. The only electronic one I've encountered were on concrete/ demo saws. The "Intelli-Carb" is still an analog carb.

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.

i had the day off, so i took my dad's broken radio apart to try and fix it. thought anons might appreciate it, since this thing is literally older than me.

anyway the station doesn't change at all when the knob is turned (even though the frequency indicator on the front side moves normally). the pulley string seems to be intact, but i'm clueless to why the station remains unchanged.

can some radio guru point me in the right heading.

I bit the bullet on one of these new tekton tool rolls mid february and have been using it around the farm for a month now. $210 for the XL was steep but I'm pretty happy with it. Our equipment "fleet" is 6 tractors, a dozen or so implements, 3 stock trailers, two flat deck trailers, 2 bumper pull utility trailers, hydraulic dump trailer, 2 hay wagons, 3 older model pickups as designated "farm trucks", a c65 chevy dump truck, an international 9400 towpig, and an old skytrak telehandler. Something needs fucked with at least once every god damn week. Sometimes a lot of shit needs fucked with all at once and it sucks bigly. I've got the roll stuffed full and it handles just about every task I do without needing to drive to the workshop and grab other shit. I leave it + two wrench rolls, a few blowmold socket sets w/ cordless impact and a few larger hammers/prybars in the floorboard of the truck i drive most. I've gone through about 5 different amazon/harbor freight bags in the past few years so hoping this will hold out a very long time.

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?

>>
>>2981270
If 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.

I have no idea why you decided to be an asshole all over this thread
What 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.
>>
>>2981270
Hate 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.
>>
>>2981270
You’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.

OP 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.

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.
