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

>>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?

I want to take a photo of myself and age it as accurately as possible to the point where I look 80. A set of photos and I’d be dressed as a creepy old witch. I have never used any of the subscription AI stuff and I’m asking which model is the best for that.
>>2964370Find a young picture of someone who you know is old, use the young picture across a bunch of models and see which one looks closest to how the person looks now
>>2964370I've used FaceApp to see how I'd look, and I looked like a hybrid of both my grandfathers. When i did the female version of me, I looked like my mom when she was younger. Scary.

Has anyone seen Game of Wool? If so, what do you think? I have mixed feelings, but it’s a good watch while knitting.
>>2965598Sewing thread! Did you hold a lot of them together? The yarn looks thicker than thread. It's pretty, whatever it is. I like the fade.>>2965631It's a simple two-ply. Don't ask how long it took...I think I bought the fleece in 2021. I uploaded the pattern to Dropbox in late 2022/early 2023. It's a worsted spin, but I wasn't super careful about keeping twist out of the drafting zone (I never am) I probably spun it on the Pocket Wheel (https://www.pocket-wheel.com/), not the Ladybug. I have a bunch of undyed merino I got cheap a few years ago, but I don't actually like merino so I'm still not sure what I'm going to do with it.
>>2965770Yes I twisted 8 strands together as I wound, swapping the colors out one strand at a time to get the fade.I followed this tutorial here;https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTrtm9V43/
Screaming crying and throwing up cause my partner got me a yarn winder like I wanted but it’s a way nicer version than the one I was looking at.

>>2964261>I don't want to run the cam on the starter battery so I'm designing an uninterrupted power supply as wellI don't really understand the logic here. You want to avoid draining the starter battery? Or you want to avoid interrupting the cam recording? What exactly is the UPS doing here?Any battery you put together will be several orders of magnitude smaller capacity than the car battery, so the whole thing is seemingly pointless. If you wanted to avoid draining the car starter battery, you could hook a solar panel to that instead. Also I hope you are aware of the voltage curve of Na-Ion, you will need a voltage stabilizer for the dashcam. LFP would be a far better choice.
>>2964261Amorphous solar is probably the way to go, like those cheap solar trickle chargers, but I wonder if you actually need such a thing. If you run the dashcam off the battery of the ignition relay (should be a sensible place in the fuse box to tap that off), it will only charge up when the key is turned, so you're not going to burn out your car battery without the solar panel. If anything I'd permanently mount a solar panel for the purpose of keeping your starter battery topped up in the event you're overseas for a few months.You'd probably have a better time buying a known reliable dashcam. DIY projects, especially with finnicky high-level firmware like for capturing and storing images or video, will probably need a fair bit of trial and error. If you can't find one running lithium phosphate, sodium ion, lithium titanate, or a supercapacitor, you can look into teardowns of them to see if any use a charge control chip that you could change some setting resistors on in order to use a more stable chemistry. Worst case you can use the video recording hardware from an existing dashcam and bodge together a different power system for it. The tricky part there is faking the battery voltage measurement signal so the dashcam has a rough idea of how full it is.>>2964565Dashcams tend to wake up on stimulus (gee-force sensor) to record for X amount of time. The small lipo pouches in them are more than enough for a few minutes of recording. Some dashcams (Uniden, made for the Australian market) use a supercapacitor instead because they can handle more cycles and the space efficiency isn't important. But a full 18650 sized cell might mean anon intends on making it record for longer, or take periodic snapshots, or something. Or that he's using an ESP32 as his chosen microcontroller and has to deal with its shitty quiescent current.If he uses 2S Na-ion, a low-quiescent-current linear regulator would do the job fine.
How do you guys store your water?I have crates of 1/2 gallon glass milk jugs. I use them to collect spring water. Looking for something more practical. Don't want any plastic. Maybe steel?

Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/. And they offer 5 year warranty which is kinda crazy for cheap tools.I have PP screwdrivers with a metal shank and they are surprisingly good but power tools are a different beast.
>>2959318I have a battery sander and cord miter saw and power washer. parkside is perfectly decent for hobbyist/occasional use, obviously won't cut it professional volume/precison, but they're fine for just fucking around at home. The miter saw I have had for 3 years, did a whole home renovation, and it's still going.main downside of parkside for me is that whenever possible the tools are designed to only accept parkside consumable parts (blades etc) which are made of cheap shit metal, so if you're going to use it several times a month, might as well fork out the cash for higher end gear , it's cash your going to spend on extra bits and bobs anyway with parkside. (this is not a problem with drill bits)
>>2964206Yo im the anon that made the thread asking if that psbsap d4 is a good deal. What did you use the drill for in the last year? How does it perform? Any single issue?
>>2964336I think it's a great deal ye. Both this and last year, they ended up being bought out by scalpers (or people who really wanted it, like me) who buy it within an hour of the store opening. I didn't really put it through it's paces but I used it while making my workshop to drill 3mm steel for many hours while putting up OSB and it was fine.
>>2964381Nice, heh I'm also the guy coming in within an hour of opening to snatch it. I got it for 130, I see scalpers selling for 170 now

I am designing a house, based off a kithomeMy girlfriend says she wants to have a lot of kids, so three smaller bedrooms would essentially be boys, girls, toddlersThe concept is that the less used rooms like bathrooms are on the street side of the house, and the house is as far front of the property as possible. This gives a larger backyard with the living room and all bedrooms having glass sliding doors that open directly onto the rear deck into the garden. not sure about that toilet on the left. Bathrooms all have double showers because it's really a cheap thing to do, and allows efficiency in the morningI think the Rumpus would be kind of a computer room for kids to have their games consoles and computers in a space that's still public, but not going to spread noise to the whole house
Half of you are going to call me a horrible person and the other half will inform me that Jewish tax assessors won't allow this without charging me an arm and a leg, but my dream is to have a great big house for my wife and I and my kids live in their own separate little house on the property. Kids are destructive, let them destroy their house. Also, when they grow up, they'll have their own independent living space and will be incredibly grateful for it.
>>2965838You are going to die alone, unloved and unmourned.
>>2952422holy shit please get someone who knows what they're doing to help before you fuck this up lmao
>>2965838That dream is rather generous to your kids. Nothing wrong with that though. One of my cousins had his bedroom in the garage, another cousin lived in my uncle's RV. Some kids enjoy that independence.
>>2965838As a former child I would have loved having my own outhouse to bring friends to and basically be a self-contained living area.
Hello Everyone,My wife and I have decided to build a village little by little every Christmas (only two homes so far). I was hoping people would have suggestions on what we should build besides the homes and carts we buy (hills, roads, lake/rivers, etc) so that it can look nice and, hopefully, be easy to store. If this belongs in a different board please let me know
>>2961344>If this belongs in a different board please let me knowPinterest stuff
>>2961344growing up we had my O gauge train track screwed into a half sheet of plywood and for Christmas we would pull it out of the garage and put the tree stand in the middle of it then build a village around the tree skirt and the train tracks, then I would see if I could get the train to go fast enough to skip the tracks on a corner and crash into villager figurinesgood times, get a train
>>2961344If your base is not already very easy to lift I'd ensure you can hang the base and box the buildings in a divided box you can build to your preference. The easier your layout is to move and store the longer you'll enjoy it.Model railroaders have a vast variety of cook ways to make and mod things you can get ideas from.If you add a vertical back that permits more scenery and can make the assembly stiffer and box-like.
>>2961344It'd be neat if you added replicas of unique buildings or structures from your city/state, and then sprinkle snow on them. My great aunt lives in St. Louis, so obviously the Gateway Arch would be suitable.
>>2961344>Diversity free village Dreamy.
explain Septic System to me like I'm a bitch.Shouldn't there be an "Oh fuck" overflow outlet, like before even the first tank, so it can never back up into the house? I've heard of Septics overflowing into house. Is that illegal because your System has to work so you don't spread shit, so having it "sealed" is the way you are forced to have a valid system?I'm thinking if I got a place out in the sticks I'd want to add an RV hook up out from under the house, and I guess I could also add an extra Y so I could connect a hose which could lead to an emergency over-flow gravity fed line.WTF happens if your System is OK, but suddenly under fairly sustained excessive use? Will it most likely drain OK, but "water" not treated and live turd germs into Leach Field, and how bad is that and do people get in trouble for it? Does it start showing up in your neighbors well water and you get sued and a shitty rep?Seems like any well designed system would include that, and into a normally dry pond or covered hole or French Drain or something.I also saw diagram of a "solid state" dosing system that somehow worked without any pumps. IIRC it had a float and valve on a hinge on an angled arm so the valve would stay closed until "water" level well above it, then would open and drop level to well below float level. Seems simple and fool proof. WTF with pump systems. Seems like opening a big valve would be better than some little pump (that will be not just going on fritz but in the shit).
>>2963887>this kind lady called saying her family was on a well for a long time, but for some reason it dried up....only about a week after the county connected their home to the public sewer system. HmmmmmmmSo the public sewer system started pulling from the well?
>>2965241No. Waste water was going into the sewer and not to the leach field and then to the well.
>>2965241>So the public sewer system started pulling from the well?fresh water pipes are pressurized so if there is a leak the fresh water leaks out. Sewer lines are not pressurized and gravity drained so if ther is a leak it wont leak or at least not leak much. Their speptic system and fresh water well was actually hydraulically connected. The pumped groundwater (shower, cooking, drinking, washing) was discharged to the sewer system and back to the groundwater and pulled back into the well. This is not what you want. If it does happen you want the residence time to be long enough such that the natural microbes in the vadose zone and groundwater digest sufficiently any harmful microbes in the water before its pulled back into the drinking water system. The likely got used to all the bacteria like poor people in locations with bad sanitary practices. Since their well drired up soon after their sewer water was taken away by the county sewer system their groundwater supply was insuffient to supply the house. Its amazing how many people have wells and never monitor them for water quality or to run an occasional pump test to confirm proper operation.
>>2965537I'm worried about all this shit (pardon pun) because I'm looking at buying cheap rural house that mostly haven't been lived in for a month or more, or even a few weeks. I'm thinking a few dormant weeks would allow many issues to self-heal, at least enough to pass a quick test of well water pump rate/water quality, and septic.I'm starting to wonder how many cheap rural houses are for sale due to major issues starting to surface that will cost $50K in a couple years, but given some rest the system still passes basic tests.Its not like trying to sue some old Hillbilly who spent all the money a year ago, and is probably semi-nomadic in an RV, would be practical.
>>2965747>I'm worried about all this shit (pardon pun)I think its worth it to investigate any water well used for drinking water or food irrigation if you are going to buy. I would ask for all the records of well drilling, construction, operation, and water quality testing (if they have good records it shows they have a brain and were paying attention and probably doing regular testing and maintenance). Its relatively inexpensive to collect water samples for a suite of analysis to be sure its safe for drinking and irrigation.

>Bosch plans to stop production at two Power Tools plants in Germany by late 2026: Sebnitz in Saxony and Leinfelden-Echterdingen near Stuttgart. About 500–510 jobs are affected. Production will shift into Bosch’s wider network, including Central and Eastern Europe.Rip Bosch, you had a good run.Insane that germany is letting their tool flagship brand stop all production at home and essentially allowing the name brand to die but well I guess it's just symptoms of a wider German manufacturing decline. The brand will be 130 years old next year and will probably end up being sold to some amerimutt kike owned conglomerate, fucking sad.
