its an iron variant of the rowan cross from yorkshire. rowan crosses (or brides crosses) are usually protection against witches and other evil doers.
the iron variant confers the same protections but with iron it keeps away the fae and similar entities. you can also make it with iron and rowan together if you really need the blessed wood

File: fucking dog.gif (2.53 MB, 374x264)

So my neighbors sold their house, and an old lady with her probably 45 year old cave man looking neet son moved in next door.
Today seems to be their first day to actually live in the house, and their dog is in the back yard just fucking blasting.
I went to meet them and say hi and mentioned the dog in passing, and they just kind of said hehe yeah he likes to bark.
I want to stop this shit right now, hopefully without getting the cops involved.
My first idea is maybe a loud speaker pointing at their house connected to a raspberry pi with a microphone that blasts dog barks loud as fuck pointed at their House every time the rpi detects a dog bark.
Kind of like a jeet shaker but more advanced.
Btw I'm a cripple in a wheelchair, and not going to be able to do anything crazy, so I have to either do this passive aggressive as fuck or something...
anyone have any ideas?

Stand at the window leering pervertedly at the dog whenever you know they can see you. Loudly mumble things like "oh ye" and "I hope it shits soon" and lick your lips. Soon enough they will take it indoors, that way the barking will be less. The only thing is it might be a little embarassing, but I think this will actually solve the problem.

my dad did international biz so he'd take naps in day to make calls at night

barking dog prob.

he tossed over a bit of meat. dog goes for it. another and another and the dog is snapping out of mid-air like a pro. dad rubs some hellish hot pepper he got from god-knows were with meat and tosses it.

dog snaps it, makes some odd noises, never barks without reason again.

I got a new 25.4 cc 2-stroke power head from ECHO and was using it today. I did not expect it to be as powerful as it is. It's the PAS-2620 model and it has a modular attachment system. I was using the string trimmer attachment with it and it was obliterating everything in its path with ease. It's super fun to use, I'm going to play with it some more tomorrow. Coming from a 4-stroke Craftsman, the ECHO somehow feels more powerful than that. And the string is much more durable, I don't know why that is.

Not to sound like a shill, I guess the downsides are it's pretty expensive and with 2-stroke you have to mix 2-stroke oil with gasoline. Which isn't too bad and if you factor in that you can use the power head with all sorts of attachments it might save you money compared to buying a bunch of different dedicated non-modular power equipment. It's super powerful so you get what you pay for I guess. Can't wait to use it some more.

Anyway, what power equipment have you anons been using?

Sounds like the diaphragm has a small hole in it and the fuel's vapor pressure is sending just a little too much fuel past that. You may be able to get a whole carb for just a little more than the cost of the rebuild kit.

Also, IIRC the fuel caps on most of the recent Stihl handhelds are not vented. They're a closed system, some will have a third line with a pressure relief.
Your FS55 I'm pretty sure just a simple closed loop, non vented cap, one pickup, one return.

Or that some other shitstain world leader of corpo suit shithead won't do some other bullshit to fuck the rest of us over for their own benefit.

Get some gas that will put them to sleep and find youtube tutorials, get the stuff from cosmetics shop.
Id use brushes and rup the paint down to their skin also to avoid painting their eyes and ears in order not to kill or poison them, look for vegan options on hair dye, women are retarded so they probably sell those. The color lasts as long as hair grows, so they wont stay painted for that long.

>Stagger stud method

>Rockwool or Sheepwool
> Top quality window and door

It HAS to at be pretty good and blocking all those sounds right? I am going to be pissed if I build it and still hear a damn lawnmower
It seems impossible to find someone nearby that has built one like this to go and "test it out" I suppose I could at least find someone with a rockwool 2x6 house and decent windows, and see how loud a lawnmower sounds
Hoping one of you guys have some input or experience

This isn't as good as two 2x4 walls separated by ~1.5-2" air gap

>>3009684
I used to live in an RV lke OP and actually have built a soundproof room in my workshop

exterior I used 2 layers of 3/4" plywood, overlapping seams, all seams caulked
interior I used 2 layers of 5/8" drywall, green glue, seams caulked.
two separated walls, not staggered studs on a shared play. both walls rockwool insulated. i used thin slats of wood to make sure the rockwool wouldn't slump out of the stud cavities.
cieling was double walled too and insulated the same way, and was not touching the exterior cieling. so it was completely a room-within-a-room, except for the concrete floor.
I didn't put a window in because it seemed too risky for sound to get in.
doors are made just like the interior and exterior walls: just a secton of "wall" on hinges, with rockwool batting, weather stripping to seal the gap.
This was built on a concrete pad which was already under the existing workshop.

Can you explain where exactly the weather stripping is ? inside? outside? both?
So is it just your relax chill room? or full bedroom? does the lack of ventilation both you ?
Thanks for sharing your room plans and experiences and feedback

It is also likely I build this thing on a trailer (omg tinyhome!!!) so I can move it if need be or sell it easier etc Which I imagine the double wall would be harder to build as a tiny home rather than the stagger stud and take up more floorspace etc.

Put a shed inside the shed. Or a shed over the shed. It might also help to have the window and door face away from sound sources.
