Update
>>2959649might want to grab the angle grinder and cut in some expansion joints on the corners of your hexagon. might be able to force cracks to follow the current plane instead of going diagonal. corners are always weaker.
>>2964849The concrete is like 30 years old with very few cracks
The new plantscare taking off well
Installed this Safire Buffalo in the backyard 7 weeks ago today. Been giving it seasol once every 2 weeks and gave it its furst dose of fertiliser 1 week ago. Just gave it a move at 40mm and I think its come up pretty good

I didn't wanna spent $700 on a dataloggerNow 2 years later I have onboard laptimes, tachometer, and a dataviewing tool2 years ago I was just a software guyHardware is fun and magical
>>2966062Cool stuff anon. As someone who started with hardware and am struggling with the firmware side, I do kinda envy people with a more formal understanding of programming. But I just don’t do enough of it for it to stick in my head.To what extent did you use existing IDEs and HALs already set up for your hardware, compared to setting it up in your development environment of choice and learning how to compile and flash the programs more manually?
>>2966112I used a seed xiao nrf52840 in the arduino IDEToday I'm learning how the "proper" ides work, surprisingly I didn't run into any performance issues with what I'm doing so it wasn't all that needed to leave the arduino IDE yetHackTheTrack.netOpen sourced everything, I wrote 95% of the datalogger/library The data viewer has been an experiment in vibe coding and I didn't write a single line of code lmao
>>2966147What did you use for the vibe coding?
>>2966165Lovable, I've used some of the other stand alone agents at work and this is a whole other levelIt uses some silly decision engine to pick an AI agent for the task you asked it, it liter uses "all of the agents"There's a reason you can't drop a project I to it like you can chat/Claude, I forced it to do that on a project and it went s little retarded with something it didn't makeYou really need to wrong long and detailed requirement lists with concrete deliverables before letting it look"Add this feature" usually results in you getting pissed off Used half my month credits, and about 100 messages, so like $10 to build itI've seen ads for another one that I now forget the name of, and it looks even better as they have their own Jira/kanban type system to create working tasks with hard goalsComment too long.

this Composting seems more complex that it needs to be.https://www.primrose.co.uk/blog/gardening/12345/Is this just because its from UK?I'm thinking of buying a house out in the sticks with Septic System and there is bunch of no-no's for Septic so I figure I'd start a big compost out in the Back 40.How do you keep a Compost bin from becoming a Fly Factory, even if follow all these rules?WTF will happen if I dump all types of food into Compost?WTF about "Composting Toilets"? Do they stink real bad when you open the lid to drop another Deuce and a Half?
>>2965448>Animal waste is harder but if the amount is small enough, or the pile big enough, you can do it. And sawdust? Just don't put it in there in a giant clump and it will be fine.I dump wood chips in my corrals and let my cattle shit and piss all over it. Better not use it for fertilizer now! Kek!
>>2965513Get a small metal trash can with lid, put a plastic bag in it, and set a 5 gallon bucket inside that. Keep the trash can on your deck and dump your kitchen waste into it daily. Take the bucket from the trash can and empty it weekly into your compost pile or compost tumbler. Built this tumbler out of an old small anhydrous ammonia tank.
>>2965324>banana peelNo.They're usually covered with pesticides.
>>2965324> fliesGood compost has worms, worms eat the fly eggs and larvae. Composting bacteria raise the temperature which hurts the flies and their eggs. Bad compost has too little worms, no bacteria, remains cold and the flies will thrive> WTF will happen if I dump all types of food into Compost?You get bad compost. Pesticides will kill the worms and molds that process the compost. Adding stuff that the micro organisms cant eat just slows them down and favours the competition so it will just be a pile with whatever insect is most suited to it. > WTF about "Composting Toilets"? Using human waste as fertiliser can spread diseases if you don’t sterilise it properly > Do they stink real bad Pretty bad but not terrible if they are aerated and you add sawdust to them. Bad enough that you’ll want them in an outhouse
>>2965326Fish bones are actually fermented, not composted. >>2965330Supposedly, when Samoset is said to have done that, it was because he had seen it in England. Also where he learned English. He was trying to show the Calvinists how he thought their people farmed.My understanding is that most of the various northeast peoples mostly fertilized with human manure and corncobs.
So post some roller tool boxes you got and opinions.
all bloat and not needed

>>2964274Years ago I got a shit ton of diesel fuel additive/conditioner off craigslist for free. Some construction company shutting down and they had all kinds of Champion brand liquid moly oil additives and fuel additives. A whole pickup bed load that they were just giving away. Whenever I get my bulk fuel tanks filled up I dump some treatment in just trying to use it all up.
>>2965986Did you get conditioner for you conditioner thought? If its several years old it might be going bad by now.
>>295969415# or 30# demo hammer with a clay spade is what you want for this kind of bead busting.Just set the spade in the bead, and go to town. Unless the rim is absolutely ate the fuck up with tinworm, it won't hurt it at all.
>>2966140>15# or 30# demo hammer with a clay spade is what you want for this kind of bead busting.>Just set the spade in the bead, and go to town.>Unless the rim is absolutely ate the fuck up with tinworm, it won't hurt it at all.Hydraulic bead breakers are a blessing from the lord. Not even that expensive either. 230 bucks with a one minute e-bay search. Might be able to find even cheaper if you shop around more... It's worth it to buy the right tool for the job here. https://www.ebay.com/itm/282999488903
>>2966174yeah, we've got an old hydraulic bead breaker we used for it. breaking the bead wasn't a problem because of it, getting the bead to slide over the flange was the whore because it just didn't want to stretch, and when we put more ugga dugga on it, it would just rip and split instead
snowblower threadim thinking of buying one this year, live in a coastal area with heavy wet snowmy driveway is about 150 feet to the garage but since ive lived here ive just shoveled about 1/6th of it and kept the cars parked up front outsidei know nothing about them other than what im reading online im thinking a 300cc would be ideal maybe a toro, honda looks nice too but a bit $$
>>2960865get a tracked honda. you won't regret>t. proud owner of an HS80
>>2960865even though we seldom get more than 2" of snow here at any given time I've joined the ranks of snowblower owners after I bought this off Marketplace for $401990 Craftsman track snowblower, didn't run, cleaned the carb and now it runs like a champ... now just waiting for snow...
>>2960865You want a 2-stage machine if really wet sow. Even then it will load up and need the plunger. Also, 8HP minimum, more is better. Spray the auger & chute with PAM cooking spray, helps to keep snow from loading up. I bought a Troy-Bilt one several years ago, great machine. x
>>2965726I'd heard that Honda was getting out of the lawnmower/snowblower business though?
It's a neat contraption but not as easy to use as you'd think. Definitely better for your back than a hand shovel though.I have a 280cc I got for cheap cause it wouldn't start. Turns out the previous owner just left it sitting over the summer, I cleaned out the carb and it was good to go. Make sure you empty out the fuel system when you store it or you'll have to clean the carb at the start of the season. On my model taking the carb off and cleaning it didn't take too long. Maybe a couple hours with some basic sockets and a couple pieces of wire to clean out the jets.
I am building a bed loft that will render the existence of this ceiling fan impractical. There'll be ~45" between the deck of the loft and the ceiling. Are there any good low-profile (less than ~6" depth) options to replace it with that don't have external moving parts but still have an internal fan to maintain some circulation up at the top of the room? Any other suggestions of neat fixtures that would suit the situation? Or should I just put in a little basic dome light and figure out something else for air circulation?
>>2963372actual lol
>>2963371Keep the existing fan. Build a small skirt around it (attached to ceiling) to guard blade tips. The skirt will have to stand off fromthe ceiling to allow air flow.Think ducted fan.
>>2966169No
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?
>>2965858Because "pleats" are too hard to say, even though you can see that I know what pleats are by my previous usage of the word...Are you the definition of "lolworthy"?
>>2965615>How about we start with this: When you say "5 inch", across which axis is it?>>Because I know what a "pleats per inch (or any other size)" measurement is, but there is nothing on a regular residential furnace filter that is anywhere near 5 inches in size. It's all either too big or too small, and I can't say I've seen one anything like how you describe, and you've never even said "per" anything.https://www.amazon.com/FilterBuy-20x25x5-Pleated-Replacement-Honeywell/dp/B00NVF51ZK

I do not believe you op. Why would you even bother doing the expensive paperwork to get it in your name without knowing the condition and squatter issue? Inspections don't expire, they're just a list of things to fix. You absolutely can sell a home with roof and plumbing issues and an uncertified furnace, you just have to lower the price, disclose all the issues, and ignore anyone with a loan preapproval because it won't pass their own bank required inspection. Spray paint CASH OFFERS ONLY on the front door and smear shit on the walls to get the point across if you have to. If you call a realtor and they tell you "they want to escrow" hang up and call a different one. I assure you there are plenty who can move your rat den with code violations, house flipping is an entire industry. If an actual lawyer told you you are better off abandoning it than attempting to sell it as is for dirt cheap to recoup some of your losses, why even ask for help beyond that?

Worst DIY accident you've had or seen?
>>2965312yea structuralthe entire house except for roof and piers are glassthey had to wait 2 years for the neighbor to sell his lot for the second part of the house to startthey offered him 3.4 mil at the beginning and he held out, some pitiful(abeit sound and tight) brick one story home with sizable lot.he ended up selling for 850k after he realized he couldnt afford the home insurance(home had to be liftrd up after hurricane sandy; he lost his home insurance)he got bought out and they had the demo crew on stand by waiting for the check to be signed. brutal shit. he took a few brick and walked away. 3 hours later the entire lot cleaned. should have taken the initial offer. but then i understand; these people, they arent homes. they are assets.one of the saddest things ive ever seen was a demo on ventnor ave for a pool house. whole family came out to watch their grandparents little beach home torn down just so their neighbor could put a 1 bed +loft basically a shed inah well$$$$$$$pic unrelated random slab
>>2965315brutal. worst ive seen was a newbie laborer manhandle and curl a creasote piling cut with no shirt or gloves despite warnings.dude looked like a full hive of wasps.stung him up within 40 minutesalso reminds me of a mexican who didnt believe asphalt off the dump bed was hot, and toucjed his hand to it. immediately burnt into his palm. he said "that hot?? nahh" then just screaming. good times

>>2963184The reason the 2v Tritons got a bad rap was the thermostats would go out but still show varying temps without turning on the cooling system so they'd overheat and blow headsI have one with over 300k on it and it won't fucking die
>>2965097also no one wants to try and carry a big screen TV down the stairs while trying not to look suspicious, it's a great deterent
>>2962395>>2963497I spent 11 years living in a "mother in law" apartment behind and downhill from my family's house, which could only be accessed by going down two flights of outdoor stairs from street level - painted concrete for the bottom half and wood for the upper half. Never had an issue all that time and then 3 days before we sold the house and moved out there was some light rain and the instant I stepped out onto the concrete I went ass over elbows and landed hard with my knee right into one of the step edges, didn't break anything but I was hobbling for the next week and had a visible bruise for a month after that.

Ancient thing, its like a shop vac, suddenly started choking hard mid vacuum and released a smell of burning plastic so I turned it off.After letting it cool it turns on but sounds fucked up and it strongly smells of burning after a second or two.Screws are 8 point or 6 point and I got no tools or knowledge to fix things. Could it be something simple to replace like a belt or brushes or is it for chucking in the trash? It had a problem a few months ago where it started to spew out big chunks of dust through a broken filter area which I taped over with some porous filter from a spare aircon thing I cut to act as a filter xD (I can feel it blowing thoigh and no dust comesbout any more). The motor part is probably enclosed in metal anyway? I am a cheapskate and will likely get the screwdrivers to open it in the first place but only if its fixable.https://voca.ro/12NrDTlU0vKb
>>2965174rude
>>2965149Vac motors are relatively easy to replace.
>>2965148Get a security bit set, it's cheap.Take it apart.This is how you gain repair skills.It's already fucked, no risk.
>>2965148Small chance it's brushes. Bigger chance that the wire insulatoin on the motor windings wore through due to vibration or whatever and it shorted out in which case the motor is toasted.
>>2965148>Screws are 8 point or 6 pointWell which is it?Can't you count?
