In the pic. Blue is the wall, grey concrete footing, brown dolomite gravel, circles where rebar goes parallel to the wall. What size of dolomite gravel would you pick 8/16 or 16/40? There will be water barrier between gravel and footing and footing dirt.
The stable is built on a slope, so one side gets covered with dirt much higher. Blue line represents footings height
This side gets buried a lot deeper, every gap above blue line will be filled with concrete then water barrier, and then dirt. Oh, and what diameter rebar would you go with?
>>2950365I just underpinned an old house on a project I'm working on now. The new foundation went 6 inches underneath the existing foundation and then 2ft down. We used 1/2 dowels to go into the existing foundation And the rest of the rebar was 5/8. It looked pretty similar to your drawing. What size rebar you use will depend on what kind of soil and seismic activity there is in your area.

I'm repairing a mobility scooter. It has tab washers (picrel right) on the wheel axel bolts. I can only find one place online selling them and they're cash rape. Could I get away with left (picrel). How much less secure will it be, would it be sufficient?
It's a shop rider one . Call a dealer they are like 5 dollars each
mobility scooter?
>>2948389Seconding the Nylock nut. They should work fine in this application.
So three options for you OP1. It's a generic part you should be able to order online for $5, instead of searching for the machine it came off, search for what the part actually is. 2. Use generic lock tight nuts. The issue is that they wouldn't tension the washer, so the washer spinning would tend to make even locktights fall off eventually and it might squeak. And you don't want an old person's wheel falling off. But hey, $5, get the thing working for the next few months.

>>2950883Nta, almost all hams are nice. They're very friendly to talk to and are willing to help out.However, the loudest are always the biggest assholes. There is a guy on our repeater that constantly gets onto people about their mic gain (turn up/down.) The regulars can hear perfectly fine and they're almost always full clear. Yet, he acts like a gigantic prick if things are not 100% perfect. Others are always helping if say they are barely making the repeater.Then you get an asshole who has meltdowns because you have a different antenna set-up that suits your needs. Fir example, I have an ocfd because I want a multiband dipole without going so far as to make separate dipoles for each band or fan dipoles. Fan dipoles are fucking terrible to tune since you have to tune every singke ekement of each band, and you also have to have proper spacing or you'll get interference. Nor do I want to run more coax for each band. I accomplish my tasks with my ocfd. It works, and using my atu can get my swr down. That's all that matters to me. Sure, my signal may nowhere be the best, but I do not care.Then there's just the gross ones. It's common to hear old guys talking about TMI medical problems on the 80m band.My only advice is to really research when it comes to buying radios, esp if you get your general license fir HF. HF radios can get really expensive. There's also different options like if you want a "shack in a box" (all bands) or if you want a different radios for HF and VHF/UHF, internal atu's, being able to do SSB on 2m, etc. So, just be aware if you go past the Tech license, it can rack up costs in no time.Ham radio is a rabbit hole that leads to another rabbit tgat keads to another rabbit hole, etc. It's the hobby with lots of sub hobbies. There's electronics, antenna building, contesting, ragchewing, digital modes, morse code, etc.
>>2950902Well, specifically, my goal will be qrp dx shenanigans.I intend to start with my little janky CB setup at legal power output, then get my GMRS ticket, then get a ham ticket.The main draw for me is the intersection of radio physics and atmospheric physics.I can live with some 'tism, I mean, I hang out on 4chan.Like, I'm currently designing a CB phased array to max my gains on 4 whiskeys of skip.It sounds worth it to me to have the go-ahead to use a wider array of frequencies. I'd love to explore the phenomenon of atmospheric ducting.I can get on board with the philosophical idea that the airwaves are a shared resource that everyone has to be cool about though,vso I'm not opposed to the international treaties concerning licensing.
>>2950902And as an aside, got ant tips concerning the manufacturing of an old school cat's whisker diode? The foxhole rig I made back in the day was a pain in the ass to get the junction lined up.
>>2950883>What's so bad about them?imagine 4chan but with radios.
>>2950902I always wanted to get my license but at the time you had to learn morse code (which I hate). by the time the got rid of that requirement, and I actually could afford do it, the hobby started dying. what's on shortwave is all garbage now, contests, dead preachers, flat earthers, ranting morons, net talk that is beyond boring, "proper radio etiquette" and 40m retards.CB is nothing but superbowl joggers.The only thing I find interesting is decoding flex pagers, weather fax, DMR, apco 25, nexedge, and rtty (when it ever gets used).but there's only so much of reading how someone in a hospital shit the bed and so and so needs to be transferred to room 410.listening to school busses, cement mixers, and whatever being dispatched is only so interesting.Even listening to my local air force base do maintenance on F-35 just kind of drags.I haven't heard a SSTV signal in 45 years.

What happened to Hilti, why aren't they as goated as they were 15 years ago?
>>2946604What’s an old Hilti for you? The TE75The 75 is definitely going to outlive your elbows, the new stuff is far lighter quieter and has less vibrations all probably costing a bit repairability and longlivity but its still good tools.
>>2949262Festool still makes nice stuff too.
>>2946798>uhhhm actually it's a good thing that we don't repair things anymore you stupid chuddite
I tried out for an apprenticeship at hilti back in the long ago.After the three days or so, their boss told me that I'm over qualified for them and could do better.Which I then did.I also know a bunch of other people working for them. A high up marketing chick was with my brother for a couple of years.
>>2946355>What happened to HiltiCapitalism happened.
Some lazy niggers thought this was too difficult for people to master.
That's antisemitic.
>>2950292I don't get it. I see these all the time
>>2950303OP is an obvious troll.
If you are a licensed plumber, electrician, union Carpenter etc. please chime in.Do you have the energy to do home projects outside of work?Do you keep your work/hobbies separate?

>>2948801plumber heremy kitchen faucet has been fucked up for 2+ years and i just dont care enough to fix it even though it would take maybe 4 minutes.one day my boss made me go fix his kitchen sink.would he go fix mine for me? no. fag.
>>2950092don't you have a fuck out of my board to visit
>>2950089You sound like a furfag>>2948801Contractor here. Every single tradesman I know, including myself, works on their own house in any capacity necessary. Most have separate hobbies. I like to drink liquor until I black out, my carpenter buddy Tom enjoys beating his wife and neglecting his kids (he's Irish), and my other buddy Adam smokes weed all the time and steal from SSI Disability. So yeah, we all lead rich and fulfilling lives.

Would anybody be interested in a thread all about batteries, battery tech/chemistry, cells, building your own packs or scavenging cells from old packs, making your own chargers, etc?I'll start off in the next post.
I bought these bad motherfuckers 10 days ago & installed them last Saturday. replaced our 4 year old, 300Ah (150Ah usable) Flooded Lead Acid batteries with them. now we have 15,000Wh (300Ah usable) with 95% round trip efficiency, faster charging & high discharge capable. built-in heaters (gets down to -15°C here) built-in BMS, closed-loop coms with our inverter, wifi communication via app & 10 year warranty. I will buy more as we can afford. probably 1 or 2 each year, until we have 6 or 8 total.
>>2949256There's nothing worth repairing in them. Cells can be recycled, but the pcb and the case are worth nothing, and it's almost always the cell(s) that fail.>>2950076How much were they?
>>29501541,250 each, 3,750 together. 253 for the rack/stack system. I will get back 1000 for a resiliency grant on the batteries.
>>2950076Are the batteries inside those boxes?
>>2950208Yes. They're LFP batteries.https://www.pytesusa.com/HV-Series/HV-48100.html
For years I have refined the bong process to the point I want to share it. We will have a menu with different options. To make it easy for even the novice to order. Ready to consume, in the nicest glass, or hand rolled in the back to your specifics.It will be wonderful

Had my first bottle bomb on a batch of carbonating cider yesterday morning.My previous batches didn't carbonate properly so I decided to double up on the carbonation drops and found out the hard way why that the cheap flip-top glass bottles I decided to use were so cheap.A full 32oz bottle blew up all over the inside of my cabinets and leaked down all over my fridge and floor because I didn't realize what it was at first and thought it was just a glass tipping over and breaking until I saw the drip coming out of the cabinet.Holy shitballs it was a bitch to clean out fully. Took five rounds of emptying out the cabinet, washing and drying everything in there, scrubbing the shit out of the whole inside, drying everything and repeating to finally get the stink out for good. I have now learned my lesson to store anything bottle-conditioning like that somewhere much better able to contain spills and easier to clean out going forward.
>>2949369Sodium pyrosulfite.
>>2949819Not the person you are responding to, but wanted to jump in and say that I've never actually heard of sodium pyrosulfite. Just looking it up now.An emulsifier AND a sanatizer in one?!?This is actually a pretty cool chemical.
>>2949976It's commonly used in winemaking. You can add a small amount to stop fermentation. Handy for sanitizing plastic stuff.Just make sure you wear safety glasses when handling it. If the powder gets into your eye you will end up blind (it will denature the proteins in your eye)

>>2936692Uncle worked those granite quarries in Manitoba, famous for the pink and red colors.Doing a woodfired oven with a huge basalt slab 2 inches thick, 81 inches long and 31 inches wide. But a whole bunch of polishing pads or Amazon up to about 5,000 grit and I'm going to polish it out once it's in place. The whole thing will be surrounded by these bath salts covering maybe a 30 square meters all around the same size a foot to two feet across.Also planning a new kitchen countertop but I'm not sure if I can go with stone as the section is a c shape and I don't want to seam on it. I really like that light quartz look that's got those metallic flakes I think of silicon in it
>>2939073Mine fav is a Herkemeir double terminated over 4 inches long, second is a diamond around 9 carats in kimberlite. Got the second one from a co-investor in that mind who lived in west Vancouver and I worked on her house and I got showing some of her own collection I said I always wanted one and she said phone me back in a couple of months and I did pick it up for 1800

>>2950098Good job anon. 90% of fixing shit is just degunking and cleaning stuff up so it can work properly again.
why does my paint look so bad. this is after two coats of primer. I used this exact same base in every other room of my house and after two coats had perfect streak free walls.I decided to color drench my den and it currently looks like this. guys I'm scared what do I do. ;'( just bought a second gallon from Lowe's. the ceilings are 9.5 ft. I can't do this bro
>>2945906you bought one gallon of paint for a 5 gallon job
>not using benjamin moore paintOpinion dismissed
Petty sure you put the paint on too thin, so it didn't make an even coat and looked like crap where it overlaps. Didn't use the right undercoat either. But it will actually look much better with the second coat
>>2946150Kys
>>2946050>best advice >no repliesIt looks like that's what his issue is. There are some areas at the top where almost nothing is coming off that roller. My first assumption was that it's way too cold in that room to paint.
>I've made a table and kinda fucked up the finish. It's built into a nook and in active use, so I'm trying to fix it without completely nuking the place.>Tried doing it by hand, but the stuff clogs up a p120 paper within seconds.>Thinking of buying an orbital sander and blow a pack of p120 and a pack of p240 on this to fix it, but I have no experience with sanding power tools.What to watch out for, what are the general guidelines when buying/using this stuff?
>>2946832>I don't go under 80I put 40 on mine and it's fucking great. Especially combined with the turbo mode which rotates more. Saves so much time, even taking into account the 60 pass you need to do.
>>2947617Sandpaper is cutting valleys or more intuitively reverse mountains into the surface. The higher grits cannot reach the peaks without removing bulk to get to the last cut of the low grits. Too high of a grit and it will never reach, only burnish the surface and chew up piles of discs.Using progressive grits generally works. An example issue to me is trying to sand away too tall of a speed bump. A planer would only hit the bump because it's held parallel at that distance. The sander is going to curve around the bump or rock as I use it. The sander will then cut away areas beside the speed bump and also leave a gap in the middle. The low grit will dive into the material and I'll need to sand a lot of the broad surface to clean up the work. There are all sorts of methods. I think it's good to put some mental effort into eliminating dust and consuming discs. Most experienced workers are going to naturally do something that makes sense, but early on I think most of us can create unnecessary work.
What you need is Festool Rotex for them agressive grind (forced rotation) and Mirka Deros for finishing sander. I know, i have em all, all pad sizes. But automotive mostly.
>>2946817Whatever you do, don't get a cordless one because they run down batteries something fierce.
>>2946911the stick on ones will become unusable eventually.The pad will get coated with sawdust-glue
