Is there a proper way to remove baseboards from the wall without fucking up the wall and breaking the wood into pieces?
>>2978081>I am going to repaint some rooms, and I will remove all door, and window trim.Why?paint guides and masking tape exist
>>2978091I want to properly paint. you can never make it look good with masking tape.i also want to check the insulation back there and reseal. ive checked with a flir camera and there are some cold spots.likewise bugs and shit crawl there between the gaps, i would like to maybe use a sealant or double sided tape maybe
>>2977365This is really all you need
>>2972801Why the fuck are you sending upside down pictures?
>>29794914chan strips exif data which included photo orientation. Id have to upload the picture to my computer, rotate it and repost it here to get it right, sometimes i save time by posting from my phone when Im out in the field working
Lost your marbles? Make some!
>>2977375Wonderful I'm going to check on this now, thank you for sharing this with me, genuinely, it's massively interesting to me
>>2977377Reading it, it seems like he hasn't got around to that stuff unless it's one of his other sites. It's kind of aspirational. Apparently he applied for some ai funding grants and got blacklisted for wanting to do the opposite of all the safety specialists
what a bizarre thread
>>2976645>>2976649What a fucking twist to this story>i'm gonna play with mud>ohhh pretty mud>almost dies Goddamn!
OP here, I moved house and I found some sick clay on my new land. It's a crazy color, bunch of it in a sort of eroded cliff thing I found out here.
I noticed my 26 year old GE refrigerator was running very frequently and pulling over 200 watts. I bought a small chest freezer used for $50 and is runs on less than 60 watts.
>>2975405>>2975412Those things are definitely not designed to last. Both Insignia and Midea are pretty garbage brands and I wouldn't expect either of these to last more than a few years from when they were made. If you're lucky. Unfortunately, this also applies to major brands now that used to produce quality products like 20 years ago. Like GE, Whirlpool, Amana, etc. Everything is engineered to fail now. That's our reality.I bought 2 GE dehumidifiers. The first died 3 months after I bought it, got it replaced under warranty, the replacement died about a month after the 1 year warranty expired. Replaced it with a Midea one, it died after 5 months. Went back to the old GE one I put in storage, it's probably near 2 decades old and still working like a champ. It's just noisy as fuck.
>>2978022The Galanz looks like it has significantly thicker walls, it also may have a larger box around the compressor area.
>>2978716All the parts come from the same factory in China doesn't matter what brand you buy. They just don't make shitty parts for one brand. The price difference from the different brands is the warranty you are buying.Do you think Sears had a lawn mower and a wrench factory?
I just bought two 7 cubic foot chest freezers. Omedia and Insignia. They are identical. Same compressor. Same wall thickness at about 60mm. My 5 cubic foot Galanz freezer has thicker walls ~70mm.I am going to run the Insignia on a kill-a-watt and compare to my Galanz. There were virtually no difference between the power consumption of my 5 and 3.5 cubic foot chest freezers.
I have now collected 4 chest freezers from craigslist. The Galanz is my favorite so far and I've converted it to a refrigerator. This didn't require any new hardware, there is an adjustment screw on the the thermostat that changes the range of the dial.After 48 hours it uses around .25 kwh. I'll keep the meter on it for a week a get a better average.
I just think the color is cool
>>2972950Green's fine, if you only need them for occasional DIY stuff. I mainly use Yellow. Not always the best in a category, but usually near the top and will always get the job done.
>>2978346>Metabo or Flex>didn't bother with expensive stuff that other people would steal>Some of the most expensive brands that aren't Festool
>>2978823>>2978923Thanks, bros. I went with the brushless compact 2 PC Milwaukee set. I almost got the Makita because of the cool black color way. While the drill set was comparably priced, it looked like the rest of the Makita tools were significantly more expensive. I figured the cheap drill set was a gateway discount. Also, I'm trying to not be a reflexive contrarian these days.Feels pretty good. Already hung anniver the range microwave and a sconce for my wife.
>>2979128I always got D-walt because it was cheapest, but it held up so well I never got a chance to try other brands. not a bad problem to have I guess
>>2979454Their drill bits tend to perform in the same range as bits that cost 5X as much, too.
when my ESL Landlord had to do plumbing repairs when waste lines under kitchen started leaking on my Post Tension slab house, and of course she brought it ESL plumbers, with leak detection device, and they had to make at least two big holes in the concrete floor, I don't think they were using any X-Ray to avoid post tension cables.I'd they just get lucky, or where they being careful and going slow, or does Post Tension always give room around where pipes would be, or WTF?This is CA earth quake country.Does "Slab Foundation" mean PT in Oklahoma and other flyover States, or do they just lay some rebar and call it good?
>>2978900>useless parasite>ESL gay bait when he can't even write in English/diy/ next time then, baby retard
>>2978995Don't live and some inhospitable shit hole.
>>2978996tract homegoogle AI says they all are in this 'hood.BTW, WTF is the Inspection process for PT slabs? I used to frame shit shacks where they were rolling production and don't remember seeing any PT inspectors, but I guess could be.Wouldn't it require an Inspector baby sitting the PT process and watching guage stack tension, etc?Never heard about that in concrete inspection.
>>2978900Third worlder here. What's wrong with picrel? Here we'll just pour the entire thing with cement and tie the rebar and call it a day.
>>2978900>Oklahoma and other flyover States, or do they just lay some rebar and call it good?>rebar NOconcrete reinforcing mesh - unroll it and pour the slab

I've got about 200ft of conduit I'm trying to get a cable through and I'm not having a good time bros. Over about 10 years it filled up with water and mud somehow and I can't get shit through it.Tried fish rod and it got 60ft and got a ton of resistance then stopped.I got it clear enough that I can vacuum through it but a diy cone mouse gets stuck after also 60ftI guess I can order a plug mouse and see if it will work but I'm pretty sure there's just a bunch of mud at some point that stops it.Should I like flush the pipe with water? Maybe I can push the mouse through with water idk.There's also a fiber cable going through it I can't fuck up/with so I'm not sure a piston mouse will workOh and I'm pretty sure some retard laid the pipe like a troglodyte and it has the joints both facing opposite ways on either end so shit gets stuck too
>>2978800>and it filled back up with rain. Unless the rain got in the free ends (why didn't you cap them) the conduit may be broken in or under the slab. This could be a problem pulling. And you may have to use cable suitable for direct burial.
>>2979060>why didn't you cap themOn one end the troglodytes fucking brought it up outside and used a 90° pull box and the gasket probably leaks, and also some yard must have hit it with something and snapped one of the thread-slip on the going into the ground side
>>2978774Any sites where something might have settled over these 10 years? I once had that problem with conduit ending in a stack of buried well casings. I tried to fish it from the other side and got pretty close to my estimate of the length. Home owner dug down along the well casings, and lo and behold they'd settled far enough to bend thicc ass conduit (40mm PE water pipe, the stuff you need to heat with a blowtorch to have a prayer of bending it) into a hard 90 degree bend completely blocking that end of the pipe.
>>2978778>muletapeI got a bunch when they laid fiberoptic in my neighborhood xD
I got a lot further with the jet line. I first tried a foam ball and it went the same about 60ft and then stopped, I trimmed it down pretty far and I felt it get a bit further like 10ft and then stop again.So I switched to a long ribbon of plastic and it went significantly further, but I was worried it was just tangling up so I pulled it out and it was fine.So then I put a whole spool into it, carefully feeling it the whole way for tension and it always had about the same tension. The Amazon listing said it was 450ft so I have no idea what is happening, I tied another piece on and went like half of another spool and it still feels the same.I'm not sure if these spools are 450ft or if the whole tube of four is the 450ft but I ran out of time today to pull it all out again and check itThis small of a foam ball doesn't get through it
How can I use AI to “grade” the dancing of a woman who has sent me a video of her dancing or who is dancing live for me on a video call?By “grade” I mean tell me how close or far her dancing is to a choreography video I’ve sent her like this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CkHlq5zLMPY from 5:30 to 7:30.As far as I know the only program that can do anything like this is the Just Dance video games with the Kinect but I don’t know if there’s anything else like it at all?
>>2979217>How can I use AI to “grade” the dancing of a womanyou are an idiot. only morons rely on AI for anything.

I can't get my hands on anything remotely resembling a vacuum pot where I live, not even online.Realistically, how feasible is to weld two containers together and suck the air out of between them so I can cook meals for virtually free?I already use a food thermos to passively cook pasta, rice, noodles, but something like the stanley pot would allow for bigger meals like stews.
>>2973399Oops forgot pic
>>2969795find an old asbestos glove, cut it into thin strips and insulate with that
>>2969795nigger what? you want to increase the boiling point by increased pressure, not decreased one. otherwise you just boil out the water without proper temperature to actually cook the meal.
>>2969795Thanks OP. I'm filing a patent right now.You have brought something to my attention, that I can make money off of.:DThere appears to be an opening in a niche market.My eyeballs just turned into dollar signs.

Can anyone tell what these are?
>>2975821Kek, working with geniuses.
>>2975694Not a single bed bug, in two weeks.I think it's mites
looks like a dust mite, which if the Magnification is 100xbut if your wool blanket is old it could cause some allergy issues
>>2973509the toilet (in this country at least)
>>2979289>but if your wool blanket is old it could cause some allergy issuesExplain. Because of the wool itself or because of the mites?
What particular type of yarn is being used in these kinds of chunky yarn cross stitch projects?I'm in australia and spotlight and other shops don't sell the same kind of chunky yarn, just fluffy yarn.I've gotten chunky yarn from somewhere but it comes off immediately when i put it into the sewing needle.
okay apparently its “velvet yarn”
but what type of yarn is this nonshiny yarn? (a durable type please)
>>2979316what type ofndurable chunky yarn is this? i only want a durable type that doesn’t make the fluffy stuff come off the needle when seeing ends in or cross stitching
>>2979335that looks exactly the same type of yarn i used recently thats just fluffy and coems off when i try to pull off the sewing needle. Notdurable ar all
Have you ever just went ahead and ignored all laws, zoning requirements, and permits required for construction?How did it work out for you?

Do you have a license, a permit, and an LLC for that job that the customer is going to offer you 40% of your bid? No wait, they'll let you finish then just not pay.
>>2978796Must be their cousin that takes a job, asks for half the money up front, works half a day, then leaves to go "get a tool that he forgot at the shop," and never comes back.

Give me one(1) good reason to not buy an abandoned renaissance faire and make a subdivision for theater kids.
>>2979318i feel personally attacked
>>2979286Sounds like you got fucked by big buro way too often. Handwave deals are common in smaller counties where corruption is subdued by everyone knows everyone.
>>2979281>Think boomers called it "commercial property" when they painted some cardboard blue and white, probably while being drunk?Isn't it called a "commercial property" because its sizeable and zoned for commercial purposes such that it can be easily monetized, not because some retard used it for retarded bankrupt commercial purposes where they failed to capitalize properly on the land's value?
>>2979326I didn't know jews frequent diy
>>2979331Who else would be buying faire grounds just so they could try to get out of paying taxes on it due to some semantics about commercial property?
These fucking things have lied to me more times than scammers from india
>>2967398There's also no reason that you needed to respond, retard.
>>2967288I'm a stud
>>2967293I tried this and mounted a shelf into a drain pipe and my basement was all like blublubulbulbulu with shit water
The shitty cardboard house I bought has ZERO fucking studs in it. It's fucking wild. I hung a series of bookshelves up a wall using toggle bolts because there wasn't a stud in the whole fucking wall
>>2967277Easiest way to hit a stud is to try to put a drywall anchor in.
Every time i buy a new tool i get a small rush of happiness but it is fleeting. Then shortly after i start looking for the next tool to buy. How do i overcome this? I really don't need any more tools at this point.
>>2978332>I want to buy s milwaukee drill/impact set without any justification.How can you possibly have no justification to buy a drill/impact set? That's a pretty fucking low bar to try to justify.
>>2978366Well, I have a Ryobi that works perfectly fine for all my applications and a plug in impact wrench that I use for car and moto shit
>>2971713i had the same problem. but then ai takeover made my paycheck so small i can't hoard anything anymore. so it's all better now!
