assuming this is eastern europe/western asia, you own this apartment? what are the monthly costs associated with owning this place and not living there? this would be unthinkable in the united states; apartments are rental-only and have a constantly rising monthly cost which is very expensive. condominiums are the equivalent of "owned apartments" and are also terribly expensive due to the mortgage payment on the unit, as well as home owners association fees and taxes and such.

>Also, there's /plant/ on an. I think they like house plants more
Thank you very much; I will look there. The plant looked fine but just with very stumpy leaves because I had removed all the limp ends. Unfortunately, I just looked at it again and loads of it seemed to have started rotting at the base, so it might be ogre. I have removed the obvious root-rot parts, but that means there's a much smaller plant in soil which is now likely to contain far too much water. I'm so bad at this ;_;
>>
>>2998433
No, you can keep him in there for now. Maybe when it's like twice the height. But you can't tell ultimately by the size of the plant, it's the root system. If the roots are congested then it's time, but that plant is too small yet to have such a root system

anyone here ever tried the overseeding method for lawn transition? while i enjoy grass and don't mind its regular upkeep, my yard is full of 3 different kinds of shit grass + clover with moss in multiple areas. was looking at earthwise seeds (or related products) as a solution over the heavy labor process of removing it all and replacing with either sod or reseed. they make it sound like its little work and you just throw out their special seeds TM over the course of a few years but i'm aware of the labor needed in thatching and reseeding. i've been slowly removing areas as part of smaller annual projects but still have a large area to maintain. currently installing a irrigation system and shit is all torn up so come sept-ish i plan on doing a heavy thatch and reseed

So in have an unfinished room in my basement and I am struggling determining how to layout the space. It’s a 19x15 foot room with 3 additional 5x9 rooms attached on the south end, utilities, bathroom and electrical. Currently it is concrete slab and the wall parallel to the doorframe coming off the steps is used as a storage wall with Adam’s racking. Any ideas on how to finish this space? The drawing is crude and not entirely to scale but the measurements are accurate. I would greatly appreciate any ideas!
>>
What do you mean by "ideas on how to finish the space"?
Are you asking from a design perspective (ideas on what the space would be used for, or how to configure the space) or are you asking for advice on how to physically finish out a space (what materials to use, how to install them, etc.)?

If it's the prior, do you have a need for any specific type of room? Like do you want an additional bedroom, or a game room, or an office? Or are you just looking at an unfinished space and want to finish it out but don't know what you want the room to be?
>>
>>2998195
Some kind of walk-in-closet would be nice, but I think it's gonna only take like half of the unfinished area. Way to have a "buffer" between bathroom/washrooms and the rest of the area. I also think a game room is a nice addition like anon above.

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.

The only way I see "high resistance = increased current" is if resistance is in reference to the mechanical resistance within/against a motor. In which case, a motor encountering mechanical resistance, and/or having failing parts that are making it grind against itself would potentially cause a circuit to be overloaded. The problem, though, is that microwaves pretty much only have two moving parts: the turntable, and the fan.

so this is kind of unique and i cant seem to find anything online about this specifically. im sewing long pile (2") faux fur that has a knit backing. it is terribly succeptible to fraying, particularly while machine sewing it or manipulating it once cut because there is so much bulk on its right side. id like to try and prevent this fraying (particularly for a few stitches through non-fabric/very thick materials) to preserve strength. so far my only thoughts are to either sew on a tape backing out of a woven fabric to take in some of the tension from the stitches, or to use a fusible hem tape to "glue" the raw edge into position before machine sewing it. do any of you have experience with this? im planning on testing this out later this week, but if anyone has any wisdom about preventing knit fabrics from fraying id love to hear it.

call Real Estate agent (old broad) about house.

"any records on septic system?"

"I don't have that, and I don't know if seller has anything, but it probably wont pass because its so old".

"Did you know lots of septic companies will do a basic inspection etc when they come out to give a FREE BID on repairs including a whole new system if needed???....but they might not do all that just for some Looky Lou maybe Buyer, but would surely do that for any current Home Owner???".

blah, blah, blah....some stuff about City Required Point of sale that can be gotten around if you claim its vacant.

listing says ".....this home move-in ready...."

Oh, and the LONG, steep dirt drive way is so rutted you need to park on the street and hike 50yrds and don't try that at night or after rain....so it sounds like that needs to be addressed to even think about getting any septic work done.

I figure the Agent dropping the ball will probably cost their client $20K on a $100K asking, or about 4x the total RE Agent commissions. :)

prob is its "in city limits" and a long narrow steep RUTTED driveway with no doubt Karens on either side.

No pics of driveway, and of course no estimates on what it would cost to fix it.

Tells me is likely:
1)big stinking problem with Permits and has to be "done right" at great expense, and likely an ongoing expense.
2)It has to be fixed before even thinking about installing new septic, and fixing the SLOW city water problem and fixing the back up well.
3)fairly narrow road at base of driveway and doesn't look like much "street parking" if any.
4)Likely the Karen neighbors would rather the 5 acre "in town" parcel remain un-occupied for their dogs and cats to shit in.

No gold panning thread. AZ / Cali / NV / Alaska get in here. Drop your wisdom.

In some areas the locals are resentful of new wilderness designations because they have driven on those roads for years only for them to be closed by some DC bureaucrats. They form "shovel brigades" in order to maintain the trails by themselves. The Forest Service field staff has been cut thin over the years and in many places it is impossible for them to enforce the wilderness designation. At one such place in Nevada, the local field office is visited once every two weeks by a ranger who hardly ever goes out on the "closed" road.
The locals are guarded in their attitude, which goes something like if you didn't help clear the trail, then stay the fuck out. They think that their illegal claims are their property and would definitely get aggressive if an outsider came poking around.
I'm always armed with at least a sidearm when in back country, but I wouldn't go panning gravels at a site that was obviously being worked.

Any recs for a really durable 5" freestyle frame? I was gonna get the Era 5, but the shipping is like 50 bucks on top of the frame itself being pretty pricy. I wouldn't normally care if I didn't think I was gonna lose this entire build on a roof before long.
>>
>>3000404
Why stress durability in something you think you're going to lose quickly? Wouldn't it be better to build confidence on something you already have or a cheap quad you'd be less upset about losing? Your use case and stated requirements don't match.
>>
>>2999108
The question is how willing you are to build and what your goal is.

Do you wish for speed? If that is the case, then a wing is best suited for you. Crash Test Hobby make ones that are virtually indestructible. There are other brands too, so do not be worried with shopping around, however, Crash Test Hobby wings are the most respected, at least in the United States.

If you wish for maneuverability, then you need a profile model made from EPP foam. There are a variety of brands, but West Michigan Park Flyers and RA Cores sell some budget oriented stuff, while Hacker Model, RC Factory and VA Models make some higher end models. Try to find one about 32" (or 800mm) in wingspan. There are other brands too, but these five are the most well known in the United States.

If you wish for fighter pilot LARP, then Toughjets make durable models in the shape of a F-14, F-15 and F-35. Your options are limited and I would discourage you from getting a model made from EPO or EPS foam, let alone wood or fiberglass. Frankly you are missing little and I would further steer you away from ducted fan models, the average ducted fan modeller tends to have more confidence than skill and usually winds up doing something completely and utterly retarded. I have had to take cover behind things from this crowd.

FPV leaves you with models such as the ZOHD drift and Finwing Penguin.

Lastly, if you are not prepared for something to build from parts and wish for turnkey readiness, then get something simple. Hobbyking has the Bixler, Dynam has the Hawksky, Banana Hobby sells the Sky Surfer, Multiplex has the EasyStar, the list goes on, but please tell the folks on this thread what it is before purchasing it. The second model is usually where the dumbest of purchasing mistake happen, not the first.

You think farmers have time to post shit up during farming season? We have real bad drought here, not much water to irrigate with, and I have been having to supplement feed my cattle this summer out of my stockpile of hay. My first cutting of hay this year was depressing, I dumped right at $30k in fertilizer on shit and been hitting it with pump water and 2nd cutting so far looks much better, but i only have so much pump water before it's all used up for the season. Fuck, this summer sucks balls. They keep talking about this Monsoon season the El Nino is supposed to bring in, but it better hurry the fuck up... Probably ought to sort off some pairs and sell them to get my herd numbers down so I can have enough feed to keep the rest of them through the winter.
