Average joe with forest property and ancient farm equipment here. Need a winch to pull logs uphill and through ditches. Eventually i would also like to be able to pull down dead trees and add a log arch to my trailer. picrel is the only reasonable winch you can get in my part of the free world. any more fancy than that and you're in unobtainium-territory as a hobbyist. only found two guys on the tubes reviewing this winch and they seem to shill it hard, but at that price point it's cheap enough to risk it. dimension-wise the biggest logs will have a max. length of 3 meters / 10 feet and max diameter of 70 cm / 27.5 inch. so well within the pulling capacity. not sure yet if it makes sense to build a log arch for my trailer as it has a higher center of gravity with 82 cm / 32 inch height. main goal really is not to be forced to split the wood by hand on site and walk uphill a million times. what do you guys think? you got pics of your setup?

>>2956999reduce contact patch reduce terrain variables, this seems scalable. defines working area as a line as opposed to a sphere so not great for fire or evac but optimal for exploration and cultivation. growing trees in rows is a smart idea.also zipline
>>2956999wake boarding towing rigs might be a good avenue for research, bunch of extreme sports teenagers raiding the local dump will have creative ideas.
Got a few more sanding passes to do then its time for the osmo and ceramic coat

I never got into (((river tables)))But it looks nice
>>2956578Cheers, Im pretty happy with how it turned out, especially considering its the first time Ive tried anything like this
>>2956632the color contrast is very pleasant, good job. The leather chairs are definitely gonna compliment it much better
>>2956503Slabs cut to fit the area its going, ripped out the rotted wood and sprayed the soft wood with a hardner then filled the voids with some silicone and timber off cuts ready for filling with epoxy that will have timber sandings in it to match the colour

What a bunch of jews. 1972 and they pour a floor with NO rebar and at best 3" thick. Fucking stupid.
>>2956894>NO rebarThat's a good thing
>>2956898It's cracked to hell because the foundation settled. They also used only a couple inches of sand instead of gravel or rock. Probably didn't even try to compact it either based on all the voids. Lazy shit.
>>295689450 year old concrete floor, still fine if it has a top floor over it, easy to cut when needed, nothing to worry about
>>2956988Based on all the oy veys

>>2954107had the ec\xact same issue about a year ago. called the manufacturer and someone on the phone walked me through troubleshooting. ended up being the gas valve was bad. bought a new one for 90 bucks and it fired right up,
>>2956382If you google water heater problems 90% of the solutions you find are about the thermocouple. I started my post saying I replaced the whole pilot assembly, which would include the thermocouple. Then there were other posters in the thread saying it's the thermocouple and I responded explaining that it isn't. And then you chime in>dude I bet no one has told him it's the thermocouple anyway f this I'm replacing the whole unit with a heat pump water heater
I'm a licensed plumber The thermopile must read 650 dc mv when heated for minute. If there's a rollout switch, it must have continuity when the wires are disconnected...if those two are good, replace the gas valve..
>>2956938https://www.homedepot.com/c/ah/how-to-replace-a-thermocoupleIt literally can't be anything else.You got some gas. Maybe your thermocouple isn't actually being heated by the pilot. Maybe your pilot has dlrestricted gas flow so it's not actually getting hot enough. That's pretty much it. You.have gad because you.can light it at all, and you have spark because your say you see the pilot.
What are some good/cheap solutions to build my own cheap cold plunge? I have an ice machine and access to a lot of ice, I just don't know what kind of tub would be the cheapest to get the job done. What do you guys suggest to use as a tub?

>>2956110The plumbing fittings are for a pipe bomb. So I'm OK.
>>2956110What is "regulated drainage work"? Working on utility sewers?
I have a whole racketball court of these oak planks. What do? Seems like planing off glue would probably gunk up machine.
>>2956871Its plywood bro. You ain't gonna be making fine furniture out of it. Use it as flooring.
Make useless artwork? If you can find 2 pieces without the black shit on the back, maybe make a phone stand?That is pretty much all you can do because of the black glue/tar/gunk shit on the backside. You can't even burn it properly as firewood without releasing extra toxic fumes into the air. Basically it's landfill material. Go find better treasure. It's out there. This is crap.
>>2956871Sell them to a boomer
Glue them together into bricks
>>2956919>Make useless artwork?That would be kinda cool. A bunch of squares in a grid layered on top of each other in various elevations. Then hang it on a wall
This is a mesh of little connected metal squares. People used to make coin pouches out of this in the flapper era.I'm thinking about making it a dress / mail for a sculpture. I was thinking of making it red.Supposing getting a good can of spray paint is a little less expensive that buying a used airbrush, which would you suggest for uniformly covering the mesh fabric? I want to avoid bubbles, peeling, and deteriorating quality. What would you suggest?
When you paint the fabric, some of the individual squares will be touching, or very nearly touching. Some surfaces will be effectively masked, and some paint will bond two surfaces together. When you try and flex the fabric in future, you'll expose unpainted parts and tear paint away from some bonded surfaces. If it will be a static sculpture, you might be able to paint it in situ and hope for the best.It seems like the manufacturer anodizes, dyes, and seals the material. You could try that yourself, or you could just buy some in red?
>>2956971I just happened to have this stuff around. I was going to see if I could change it to red (or to other colors as projects demand), so it's really about having a neutral substance I can modify into something else as needed.Certainly I agree with your points, though. Spray paint seems in theory like it would easily cover every surface, but that never happens in just one go. And the paint sticking together and / or peeling off is certainly a problem for any non-anodized product.
>>2956971Think it's cheaper to buy a small amount of a few different color dyes, any not-around-the-house anodizing equipment, and just dye it when I need a new color? I mean, versus just buying a new anodized mesh each time I need a new color.
I found a bunch of 48v ebike batteries that wont charge. How do I diagnose whats wrong with them?
>>2955727trying to keep morons from dying. I realize that I probably shouldn't.
>>2955848
>>2956855most likely, and nothing of value was lost.
>>2956954translation:>I agree OP should stop messing with shit he doesn't understand.
>>2956961Eh, I wouldn't go that far. Maybe move to less spicy packs first, and go up from there. Just recently rebuilt a Prius battery pack at roughly 220v. Not dead and the car has done about 200 miles since. A guy gains a lot of respect for how much juice he's working with when shorting just one cell. Respect is what keeps someone alive.
I bought picrel heater for my attached garage. https://www.menards.com/main/heating-cooling/heaters/electric-garage-heaters/dyna-glo-apex-7-500w-240v-wi-fi-bluetooth-forced-air-electric-garage-heater/eg7500wbhcax/p-1642874323818357-c-6328.htmI will snake the wire through the wall myself and have an electrician do the connections. My question is should I use 6/2 or 6/3 wire? https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Southwire-50-ft-6-2-Stranded-Romex-SIMpull-CU-NM-B-W-G-Wire-28894422/205357757?g_store=2731&source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&utm_source=google&utm_medium=vantage&utm_campaign=50735&utm_content=53005&mtc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D27E-Multi-NA-SOUTHWIRE-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK895799001-50735-NBR-2712-NA-VNT-FY25_Q1_Q4_Southwire_D27E_OAM_Silver_AON&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-RM-RMP-GGL-D27E-Multi-NA-SOUTHWIRE-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-MK895799001-50735-NBR-2712-NA-VNT-FY25_Q1_Q4_Southwire_D27E_OAM_Silver_AON-22178042562--&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22178043522&gclid=CjwKCAiA2svIBhB-EiwARWDPjuXF7e05tK9fhwnaaG6RFh04iW3ROMVjHgybBqLztH91FDlq5og9yhoCnDYQAvD_BwE
roast my rough-in.ive never done anything past replacing luminaries or receptacles. wanted to rewire the trashy work in my 50 year old garage.
>>2953881>>2953873i was of the understanding that there was extra protection needed for exposed wiring in areas like a garage. the chance of damage is much higher with no finished surfaces between tools and stored items and the wiring.i only could see fmc rated for dry conditions, rmc which i didn't wanna bend or cut, and the fnmc which was wet rated. i understood an unconditioned outbuilding to be a damp space.
>>2953964Is there a reason you didn't put all of it in conduit? Not sure what code in your area specifies, but you're right that exposed wiring is supposed to be protected. I've always seen rigid metallic or PVC used with the flexible waterproof stuff only for short jumps to hard-wired equipment.
>>2953968Its above any comfortable working height where you wouldnt be explicitly aware of it. ive seen rules of thumb being 6.5-7 feet but i didnt see anything in the nec doesnt specify a height, just that in areas where its prone to damage it needs extra protection.im not getting it inspected so idc too much. if i have areas down the road where its questionable about possible damage i can just put 2x4 or something across the horizontal runs. i did intend for the garage to eventually have a heater and insulation and finished surface so im not too worried about it long term.
>>2953964Watertight conduit meant to be used with watertight connections and box in outdoor scenario. As is will act like a funnel directing condensation to the box, last place you want water.I would just romex straight to the box. If you are worried about nails use mc-lite or don't hang tools next to the outlet.
>>2953871 Assuming this is in the united states, you don't need romex in tubing, especially indoors.
is there any benefit to a wood stove/pellet stove if i already have a gas furnace and im only paying $3.60/mcfi cant imagine after the hidden expenses of wood (stacking, drying, splitting, hauling) it comes out ahead vs a literal pipe that delivers gas into a furnace. the only exception is if you are a britbong or a eurofag with insane energy pricesi do think they are comfy af but id rather get a fireplace for the aesthetics at that point.

>>2956620oak and other premium BTU hardwoods don't hit 20% moisture until near 24 months. I live in a dry area, so its not for cause off excessive atmospheric moisture. Wood is stacked, breathable and covered. Elm won't even burn right until its ~18 mos, and its a mediocre hardwood. You can certainly get it to burn prior to proper moisture content, but its not good for your chimney, firebox or BTU output.
>>2952805Wood stoves/fireplaces are the best. I don't even need my tv on cold nights, I just stare into the fire. Nothing is comfier. Also, set up a camera and stream your live fire so that you can spread the cosiness and monetise it!
>>2952847Listen to this man>>2956529Oh that's fantastic, classic liberal idealist policies. I'm guessing all the options that are still allowed are more expensive?
How can i remove my fill plug without stripping it? its a size 8 hex. Do I have to shill out for an impact wrench?
>>2956194Just fucking unscrew it. All this fucking ass pain because you couldn't be bothered to actually use the fucking wrench.
>>2956816nigger
>>2956141If it strips you can use a chisel on the side but you might fuck it up so you'd possibly need to order another before hand so you can get going again.
>>2956141Also, there are proper hex sockets for this job get the socket for it.
>>2956923I would grind flat spots on opposing sides and use vise grips at that point. That pan is cast, would be really easy to crack it with an errant blow from a chisel
