could I use this and a cordless drill to make a cheap propeller for my inflatable boat?
>>2828047yes, but jerry rig your own battery pack or you'll be replacing batteries all the time
>>2828047No. Attempting to use this to propel a boat will only generate laughter from others watching.
Do it anon, but you probably want a real propeller.
>>2828047Battery life would be the only problem.even shitty lithium drills have enough oompf in them to spin that thing surprisingly fast and with a shitton of torque
>>2828047At this point, rent a pedal boat.
10 Days ago I made a thread about my couch cushions sliding across the leather couch, asking for help on how to get them better fixated. Someone here suggested rubber mesh anti slip mats so I bought one at IKEA and it works wonders. The thread was archived already but I just wanted to thank that person for the wonderful suggestion.It was a pretty big sheet since it's normally used to place under carpets so I folded it a few times and nailed it to the bottom plate of the back cushions.My only regret is not having nailed the first line nicely in the same direction. But hey, at least they don't touch the surface of the couch so there's no risk of damage to the leather surface.Thanks anon, my expensive couch is now both aesthetic and practical.
>>2829146Not the anon that helped you but its always good to see people that get useful advice on here!
I can't believe you didn't even use my rope and hook suggestion. Fuck you, man.
>>2829214Not OP, but I liked your solution the best.Because it wouldn't rely on friction.Except for the aesthetic challenge of using a visible solution instead of something hidden.Using a leather strap or some kind of contrasting webbing might have worked out and looked good.Maybe when the carpet mat stops working OP will seek out something more sturdy.
How often do you change your sheets and wash your blankets?How many backups do you have?What kind of blankets, pillows and mattress do you use?
>>2828143Pillow cases, have a few. One side a night, flip the next night, then replace day 3 and wash the first one.

I have a room which i use only for drying clothes and guests which sleep over. It has two beds in it. I folded some clothes on the bed and left it there for a couple of months laying. Yesterday i found small red ants walking on the bed. Like 5 of them total. I have had thise ants before, in the shower, in the kitchen, in the living room. Now they are on the bed which isnt even used. WeirdI rarely change my sheets and i sleep on the couch because tv and air conditioner
>>2829117Do you really think breathing through your nose makes you immune to producing saliva?
Every Sunday. By always washing bedding on the same day of the week, it becomes a habit so I don't have the even think about when was the last time they were washed. I have two sets of "summer" cotton sheets though I typically just use one set each year. I have one set of "winter" sheets that are flannel.
How can I fix these stairs and what tools/supplies will I need?I hired some movers to move a gun safe into my basement and they fucked up and dropped the cart half way down and dented up the stairs. Luckily they gave me a refund but now I need to fix this shit.
>>2828938Seems like a pretty cheap repair to refund the entire cost. I guess moving a safe isn’t an expensive thing to do so maybe like 100$ is fair, although it barely even seems like 100$ worth of damage since the stairs are possibly unfinished. >how do I fix woodFill it in or cut it out and replace it. What exactly are you asking? You need an itemized list with the exact size prybar? Should I add the sku on there or will you be okay with just a description?
>>2828938Get a little stain that matches your stairs and stain the gouges. Call it character and see if you can live with it. If not, get some wax sticks and use that to fill the gouges. Wax is way easier to apply than filler. Still not happy? Cover it with something like carpet the whole way, metal corner guards or whatever you can think of that you'd like. Wood filler isn't going to hold up very well on those corners and it isn't going to match very easily. Custom made dutchmen repairs or inset wood corners is out of your skill level.
Only true fix is replacing the stair tops, then staining those tops. The problem is you’re never going to match the original color exactly.
Use a grey bondo and just live with it or paint the threads. Else stain match and replace the threads. Since the stairs are fir and the floor and skirt board are oak, go ahead and replace things.
Those shitty stairs are made out of pine 2x10 framing boards. Go to the hardware store, buy a board and a small can of matching stain. Replace the treads and stain it to match. The whole job will take less than an hour (assuming you're competent) and cost like $15 in material.
Any lawn guys here? This drought is killing me here. Lawn care/mowing thread
>>2825364>People just don't like having anything other than pure grass on theiy lawns for some reason.Mental illness
>>2826852I hope you'll eat them
>>2824066>>fight moles/rodents w/ Calcium carbide+waterDoesn't work, don't bother.Only 1 mole will exist in a lawn at a time. Kill the mole with a spring trap, and then apply castor oil granules every other month. Don't use the castor oil prior to killing the resident mole or else he will go nuts and fuck up your entire lawn.
>>2824066depends on what quality of lawn you want, but for a normal non-lawn obsessed home owner, proper watering and mowing gets you like 80% of the way there.
>>2827639Depends on the soil quality. I moved into a place that had a dying lawn on shit soil and it needed a hell of a lot more than water and mowing.
So im going to be resheathing my house with 4x8 zip sheathing. I'm going to be doing it alone for the most part and I had a question on rigging.If im doing 4x8 sheathing and lifting 1-3 sheets max at a time, do I just use 8 ft rigging slings (half of the diameter choked off) and a Clevis Slip Hook attached to the yellow 1 inch rope on the well wheel? If I have it in a choker it should be fine with two slings right? any tips for working alone?is this all i need?https://www.amazon.com/Lifting-Capacity-Stitching-Furniture-Appliances/dp/B09SZ6BBFF/ref=sr_1_20?crid=1I0EFLCZ6430M&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6Xngi9vOfPgOfojs09vkKS_BhXy0Bbr5G0TyE-5bNWUmIuOXBkN8HmhywCsuiKuAQUtlZ1Osxcg2oLkxDkPxSFiW63VBIDY0MwSDVhtTJWLKuuFqK7VuwZcdRWgl74hfuU93bPSQN-aOkzkSYYERmd9cDHvbJcVj5_6qYXdtWMnFKniwWmsaDveRfTDLOPO-laUJYVT3Ey8ddg5G3qJ3ntd0Ihx2L6JHE4ce3ohftb4.-BAihR44QUh6a62U0HaRV4lPXVb6zNL1YhU1TW7aRRY&dib_tag=se&keywords=rigging%2Bsling%2B8ft&qid=1721838318&sprefix=rigging%2Bsling%2B8ft%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-20&th=1https://www.amazon.com/Clevis-Receiver-Hitches-Trailer-Capacity/dp/B09JPFH7BS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2K4N6K337VODG&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kTb4uLKvNYzTON7tFk6V1UHOAPDoxncRbFmynwUBSHyetcUJZ9MclBsU3H502qWHNNZIJzH0VXMP9R-PLqjHCFUyo6FJooLPyGYYnYIeQpklU0o4wII0f6dnGNRuZpf2qZLenoAJ-fgYoXxU0QH3NYjO3QaZw50cNN7nSDwe3V05Jv7CG-bNDPQ24MXqdxblh0Dm07VW9a9eHfHcmNh7tJbsB1d2uy8lrAL-kwEseBs.rK0-nn9XpP6P16wkUvAELFevrGYLEv-9QWlQNos3Ug0&dib_tag=se&keywords=Clevis%2BSlip%2BHook&qid=1721838396&sprefix=clevis%2Bslip%2Bhook%2Caps%2C83&sr=8-4&th=1

Theyre really not thay heavy to carry and move. Just throw em on the scaffolding from the ground. If you need to overthink it, slings work fine, but will be annoying I think. Look into lifting clamps for the spendier sexier option.
Bricklayers use WAY TOO MUCH FUCKING MORTAR.You do NOT need THAT much mortar!!
My 113 year old walls say this is the correct amount of mortar. >>2828896Then why can’t I take the bricks off each other. We used to do wall tiles with mortar long before tile adhesive became a thing

How do you introduce a color to your room? I had to buy a black and red gaming chair so I need a way to introduce the red into my room.
>>2829014>I had to buy a black and red gaming chair so I need a way to introduce the red into my room.not necessarily, things being too matchy matchy is a common design sin. especially with a color as bold and saturated as red it's generally not something you wanna sprinkle around willy nilly. The single red pillow in pic related isn't necessarily out of place just because there's nothing else red in the room. Having unique highlights can add interest to a room. I would sooner suggest you try to add pops of other really saturated colors, especially blue or cyan and either/or yellow/orange/green. when you have no experience it's too risky to do it on big things like couches/bedding, rugs, curtains so it's safer for those to remain more neutral in the realm of black/grey/brown/beige or desaturated colors so the big pops should be reserved for things like pillows, vases, art or picture frames and other decorative objects
>>2829081FYI I'm not tone/shade matching the red, instead, I've opted for a dark red table lamp to accompany my narrow-end table.I also want to point out that the room in your photo isn't randomly colored, I see very clear red/green and red/burgundy color matching which is all relevant to color theory and what's pleasing to the eye. Even the yellow matches the blue tones of the green wall and furniture. Not to mention the dark green contrasting the red which makes it all more pleasing.Now, if you find a cyan/magenta room that uses the same brightness; that's truly horrid. Eclecticism does not track unless it very obviously does and therefore fails the basic meaning of eclecticism. The room in your picture works because the designers behind it put a very clear thought together and managed their color palette adequately. My room will work for the same reason, green goes to red and can split among the varying temperatures and lightnesses of each color.
any of you qt lill fuckers doing chemistry?

Do wasps attack at night?I just found 6 nests in my roof, including 1 with these big black fuckers. I need to climb up there and spray each one. Problem is my egress is not going to be quick.Am I going to get my shit kicked in by a bunch of wasps or will they stay and protect the nest? Northeast USA, dunno what kind they area.
>>2818367it's for wettening and washing away brake dust before doing brake work, that's not stuff you want to inhale
>>2815204I hope for your sake, big black fuckers doesn't mean bald faced hornet
>>2826074Try and stop me kike
>>2826443The best part about bald faced hornets is that they can squirt venom from their stringers so they purposely go for your eyes.
>>2819274Attach to a long stick, light it and push it next to the best. Boom. Done.
Have you heard of essential oil pens? They look like vapes, but they exhale mist of essential oils and cbd. It seems cool and I want to try but it's expensive. So is there a way to make reusable one?
>essential oilsSounds kinda gay. bro.
>>2829094Either own up to smoking weed like the fag that you are, or just don't do it.
>>2829094boil some water, put it a bowl, add some essential oils, put your head over it with a towel to cover everything, then breathe in.
How to sand foam to make it look less icky?Can a 220 grit sanding disc with an angle grinder do the job?
>>2828478what if I had a shroud and connection to a vacuum? >>2828479gotcha. what about using a sawzall
>>2828686oscillating tool is easiest way to cut that stuffuse the cheapest blade you can find, doesn't need to be sharp
>>2828689on it bruv
I get in situations like this sometimes. Use a box cutter to cut away the excess. Simple
>>2828689Cheap piece of shit kitchen knife from the dollar store is better. Cut through it like butter. If it dulls sharpen it up on a belt sander and continue on. Throw it away when you're done if you want.
Anybody here have a decked drawer in their truck? Or any other drawer in the bed?What do you think of it and how does it work for you?
>>2827057digger derricks are peak utility. i wish id bought one (and a gradall lift) back around 09-10 when they were practically free
>>2826803this poster shines their light racks are people behind them and road rages i bet
>>2827094>t. has to drive around with high beams all the time because has 5% tint on his windshield
>>2827066I paid 8700 for this one. F800 with a 5.9 Cummins and 5 speed manual. Front winch, crane, digger, and bucket. I need to make a new man basket with a pass through side so I don't have to climb into that fiberglass one because fuck that.
Seems like a waste of time and money and now you can’t load the bed with big items if you ever need to.I’m a handyman and I have a trifold bed cover. All my tools are in containers with tops. If I need something I take out the container. I think this is the optimal setup
Is it better to start your own business or buy an established one?I want to go into the junk hauling industry, but there is so much competition that the market is just too saturated. Would it be more conducive to just buyout some established brand than to start from scratch?I'm looking at these business buying sites and they have a lot of moving/junk removal companies listed on there for lowball numbers like 150k to 300k.
beef strogennoff
>>2827073>hauling junkthe entire trash stream is controlled by the actual mafia. waste management and republic services is literally the mafia. if you cross them, they will fuck you dry in the asshole. they have a gorillion slimy kike lawyer on the payroll that know every legal avenue to make your life hell. tread lightly
>>2829035I never TREAD lightly
>>2827073>BusinessI wish /biz/ wasn't a bunch of scamming faggots talking about crypto all day so I could actually discuss small business/entrepreneurship
I’ve started 3 companies. Listen carefully. Go work for a junk hauling company. Pay don’t matter just get the job. For 6 months, work and study everything. How they advertise, how they charge, any special tools etcThen quit and make your own
