>Flat roof>Felt on the flat roof>Flat roof with felt on it>Felted flat roof>In the Fucking United Kingdom (UK)Why, seriously, do we put up with ineptitude at this scale? These things perish within 5 years MAX and literally no-one seems to replace them proactively as required. They fail without warning and leak into everything below, in literally the rainiest, wettest, clungiest, dampest country with the biggest mould problem on the globe as a direct result of insufficient weatherproofing. It's MADNESS how they still contruct flat roofs over something pitched. It's just laziness. I've had to gut out so many of these fuckers and corrugate over new carcassing timber because everything underneath was sodden and fuckedclown country. not a serious country
>>2935563i've been getting fucked by the king's thing longer than you've been able to use an angle grinder
>>2935509>The roof will rot in 6 monthsAnd a flat roof won't? Doing a proper apexed roof, not like a nigger, will last orders of magnitude longer than a felted/EDPM flat roof.
For years, people did what was popular. That’s all it took. Take conservatories, for example. I don’t think there’s another country on the planet where these are still popular other than the UK and Ireland. Flat roofs were the same, the building trade popularised them in the 50s-70s for public buildings and commercial properties and it went from there. For years it was a case of every extension, every annex and every kitchen rework having a flat roof involved in some wayWe are now into rendering and resin drives. Every single person I know with one of these, or both, has some drama down the line. It’s just fashion and if you avoid it you’ll do alright
>>2935509>mixers are fucking retarded and lameDo you guys shit outside as well just like those "new british" fellows?
>>2936027Another fantastic example of where popular ≠ good. Moreso that popular = convenient for the people who know how to do it or can (barely) be fucked to do it. I just don't understand how anyone thought flat roofs were a bright idea in the most dismally rainy country
What you Hee-Haws think about enclosing a typical Covered Front Porch to create a Mud Room, as well as extra semi-insulated layer or Sally Port?I'm thinking make it solid painted plywood about Wainscot high, then big sheets of plexiglass or even shit like this, on upward lifting butt-hinges so they could be opened and also still serve as rain/sun shield, or be closed like butt-hinge door basically tight.Seems like a no-brainer but I don't see anyone doing it.

Couple sticks to prop open. Also, knock hole in soffit for lights and lite storage.
Yeah, it would also have normal door(s).BTW, WTF is Code as far as steps and that 18" drop without a railing. Seems like lot of drunks and old fucks would being going hard face down off that, and the cinder block steps like like ankle twisters.I'd probably make the Wainscot about ass-high and build a deck with full wrap around steps, so besides the door(s) if the hatches were open you could step out on the deck by swinging legs over Wainscot or use top of Wainscot as bench.

Well folks I have to say this has been absolutely awful. Ive spent the last 14 hours looking at youtube videos, hardware, conversing with chat gpt and this is what I have been able to sketch out. I knew absolutely nothing and the more I learned about what I was trying to do, how to do it and what I needed to do it, the more it pissed me off. And all ive done is look at at the hardware set up. I havent even looked at the software portion of this stuff, priced out the components or how im going to go about testing the setup before executing. If you have comments, questions and concerns please let me know.The correct ground/data connections to the arduino/buck/stepper driver are not shown.
>>2935608>the more it pissed me offThe dunning kruger journey is frustrating. You are learning multiple systems simultaneously. Each system is going to send you into the dunning kruger valley of despair. Like a sore muscle when weight training, frustration is a good sign. Good luck.One way to simplify is to hold off on the stepper motor unless you're already familiar with them. The idea is simple (and indispensable when making a cnc machine) but the implementation adds considerable complexity.Manual forward/reverse control with limit switches on each end would get a similar effect but you lose automation. If you get good with programming (I'd use ladder diagram) you could have a series of limit switches but program it to stop when a certain number of sensor switches are pressed. That gives you preset levels. Or you can use an encoder and have the same complexity as the stepper motor. Too many choices. I'd start with manual control.As a side note, some (not all) opto isolators invert signal. Test for this when you get yours. Many ways to invert the signal back, but confusing if it's unexpected.

The idea is simple (and indispensable when making a cnc machine) but the implementation adds considerable complexity.>Manual forward/reverse control with limit switches on each end would get a similar effect but you lose automation.>limit switches>preset levels>manual controlIve already considered these. I intend to automate it no matter how difficult it will be to learn and implement. That was the whole spark for this project, I will start by building a simple test version of the set up with a single or two sensors and then add more and more until I reach my goal. Ill look into the opto isolator.Between my last post and now I was going to implement a 3d printed SCARA robot that would auto calibrate the ph sensor and then test the water that would be siphoned off into a test box, but I realized pic related would be easier and more robust.
This is what I have so far. I havent sketched out the plumbing + fertilizer/mixers/liquid containers yet. This is the very first time ive drawn a diagram, while I was drawing it I found it to be very messy and easy to get confused, maybe I should look up tutorials on youtube on how to draw up schematics, whats yalls advice.
I've spent two days trying to do a half lap joints various planks and I can't fucking do it.I saw multiple videos on how to do it with a circular saw and it kind of work but it seems impossible to get the exact right measurements like they effortlessly do on videos.

>>2936144>As a (smaller F100/250/350 self-built) Dentside owner with a lathe and mill I saved that pic since those cams get brittle.>What bed do you run on that F750? They make delightful wrecker/crane trucks and rollbacks.Yeah the turn signal cams I had on hand for the pickups were not the same as the truck cam for some reason. That's why I decided to fix it. Here's another pic showing how the tabs line up with those depressions in the plastic. I folded them up at a 90 degree angle and then after installing it folded them over into those depressions to lock it on nicely. I did have to drill a hole in the sheet metal to allow me to put that one way locking washer in place I don't know if the auto-return still works on the signal, as I have the truck up on a jack right now and the right tire off to access the power steering pump that was leaking but as long as it clicks into and stays in the detents without being all mushy I don't care. This ol girl has a gravel box on it. It's been sitting for many years since we used it last and I'm fixing it up real nice so I can start using it to haul gravel from our pit onto my farm roads.

I score them all the time for around $15 a pop. I know you're the guy with the shipping container shop that work on vintage motorcycles and collects machine tools. I'm a farmer/rancher that fabs a lot and collects machine tools. You did turn me onto those scaffolding casters and I bought a pretty sizeable lot of them off e-bay. I need to get some under a table in my garage that has an atlas and craftsman lathe on it. Would be handy to wheel it outside and blow off the dust from time to time. Pic of my service/crane truck.
This is possible the hundredth or so time I'm posting a thread like this over the course of several years. I cannot maintain a schedule due to insomnia caused at least mostly by OCD. I cannot work a 9 to 5 or A time to B time job. I already take several sleep medications. I could not medicate myself out of this problem. Are there any jobs I could work or would there be any freelance opportunities for any specific trade jobs? I could imagine going to school to learn a trade or get a degree, but the actual job seems like the hard part.My other idea is to go back to college to study engineering. Getting the degree actually sounds like the easy part, since I legitimately enjoy studying STEM, but the job seems like the unpleasant part. Lots of abstract thinking and being unsure if I'm doing the work correctly. Something like welding or metalworking seems pretty soothing by comparison. There's also the issue of having to move around with an engineering job, moving to different states and having to do so every two or three years due to employers refusing to increase pay despite increased work experience from what I've heard.
If you can't maintain a 9-5 schedule you wont get through engineering school, and your first job will crush you even if you did, because they won't put up with your excuses. Things you might like: >sales>retail>city maintenance job (you have to show up on time, but many will have lots of down-time)>night-shift jobs>security workIf you have some basic tools knowledge, you can try delivering flyers in some neighbors for some service, like replacing their roof or painting or landscaping, and see what response you get.I dunno man though, most places you need to show up to work. So you gotta get that sleep problem fixed. >I cannot work a 9 to 5 or A time to B time job.Ussually showing up to work tired for a few days, and your body will adjust to the schedule.

You'd cry. And like, honestly, yeah, if you are building occupied structures in the first world you are gonna have to learn how to deal with the man, follow enough rules they leave you be, and pay your taxes.grow the fuck up, loser. not being able to follow rules everyone else can is weak
most places in the usa you can get to where you are have a very accomodating town zoning adminastrator. In my experience, the rules have barely mattered for me, they clearly only care about big projects and developments not 500 sq ft houses, but thats where I am. if you are building a single family home on land zoned for it, they really dont make it hard at alljust go talk to them, being a fuck here looking for validation is just weird

I'm confident I'm fucked lol. I know nobody and I am incapable of interacting with normal people so forget about getting through word of mouth and buying in person. The assholes who want to sell off their piece of junk are gonna trick me into buying it 100%. So much social mind games going on when it comes to dealing with shopping for heavy equipment, I can't win this. I can't bargain for shit.
>>2935981wtf are you talking about, buy a lathe and shut the fuck up. you want to get into machining? cool, now you learn how to fix machines. get it together, stop being a pussy. you have access to all human knowledge online.
>>2935981Either buy the chinkshit online that needs 0 human interaction, or find a decent old lathe and buy it at list price. Nobody's gonna talk to you at length if you don't try to haggle, and it's not like you're gonna have any educated questions to ask about the thing.
>>2935981the only way to get more confidence buying machines is to buy a few turds and then figure out why theyre pieces of shit. dump them to somebody else and upgrade. repeat until you have a shop full of good toolsmost geezers selling machines are aware of their mortality hence the sale. theyre usually glad that anybody is taking interest in their old junk. think of it as a learning experience. theyll usually info dump on you and often have other shit to throw in that wasnt listed. theres a bunch of geezers that enjoy refurbishing machines and selling them essentially at a giant loss just to have something to do. i know 2 guys that do a couple drill pressed a year each. nice old american iron. they spend $1500 and 6 mos of work then sell them for $1k for a nicely painted and mechanically refreshed toolstart with something easy like an old drill press. find one that hasnt done production like at a gov surplus auction from a school. figure out how to move it by breaking it down into manageable pieces. take it home and clean it up. thats 3/4 of machine tool funslowly youll get more comfortable and start buying bigger shit. once old iron sickness strikes theres no cure. only symptom treatment with metallic acquisitions
>>2935988You know this dude probably has a 2018 Ford Focus with an automatic transmission and lives in an apartment on the 4th floor with a cat. He wouldn't know what to do with 250 pounds of iron let alone a retired three phase machine.
>>2935981i dont know what to tell you usually i pay what the asking price is. maybe you should research on the lathes that are available to you. like you could look up common problems and try to see if those are on the machine you want to buyi got an old atlas lathe very recently. my dad bought it from a guy in the 90s and then never used it. getting it out of his basement and into mine was a cluster. there is a gear assembly and a brass nut that I didnt know were badly worn it was $300 to buy those parts.
How much would this cost to build. Assuming that you already own the plot of land.The bottom will have a garage or a basement. Then it will be 8 floors above ground. It will have an elevator and other things too obviously. It will not be fancy with marble flooring. Just normal working class apartments. For teachers and such.How much would it cost?
>>2935632Assuming 2000sqft footprint which is, your all in price for the foundation alone will be a million at least (cheaper you’re directly over rock but then the dug out basement would make it cost close to that). Then per floor $200 ish per sqft should get you pretty close so $400k per floor, so closer to 4-5 million. Add a million in legal and regulations costs if it’s in a city. You’d have 16 ~1000sqft apartments at $325k each which seems a bit high still
>>2935635Are you fucking 5 years old?
>>2935793>1 million to build one floor sounds too much.Then you don't know anything about the difference in costs between regions. Or how much more expensive multi-story steel structures for mixed-use or commercial zoning are when compared to multi-story residential properties. Fire suppression systems, fire escape equipment, intercoms, drainage, plumbing, and electrical all get more costly when you are talking about multi-story multi-occupancy structures.High rise buildings for apartments have way more fire code and structural requirements than a single-occupancy building. Even duplex, triplex, and quadplex building have different and more stringent requirements than single-family homes that increase their average price per square foot.Then you have to complications of WHERE you are trying to build this structure. The costs of materials are going to be somewhat consistent, but the costs of labor, planning, permitting, and insuring it won't be.
