Bungalow I'm moving into has a light like this in the ceiling. It kind of doesn't really brighten up the room at night What is the best solution that doesn't require completely removing (might consider as last choice though)Is it just a matter of getting a brighter bulb or removing the shade? Would a seperate standing lamp be enough to illuminate the room?
>>2890262Try bigger bulbs. It can definitely take far more than whatever is in it, since lamps were usually designed for incandescent bulbs and now LED bulbs consume way less power. Rewiring a new lamp is piss easy though. Stock some passthrough WAGO connectors.
>>2890262find a frosted dome about the same diameter as the existing shade. Suspend it just under the shade. This will scatter light all around the room rather than in a spot under the light.
>>2890262Just get a brighter bulb. The shade definitely won't help unless you have a high ceiling.
>>2890262cheap and effective
>>2890262Bulb extender. Screw into socket. Screw bulb into extender. Bulb now reaches below lampshade and lights up room.

korean game show mask my fren wanted for some reason so i used some 4yr old pla i had in storage
>>2891980It bubbled up enough that it's visible through the top layer (5 layers, 0.2mm).
I 3d-printed a .625 caliber shell for my blow dart launcher.I then took a pressurized toilet plunger and pumped it up to 120 PSI and expelled the air down the tube while the shell was in it. The target is hoothoot who is also 3d printed. Fairly solid at a pound and a half.
>>2892180
>>2891964>>2891980>>2892168Printing another and it's doing the 5th layer now and everything seems normal enough. It must have just been moisture. PLA has been sticking well enough that I've seen a few orange flecks of PEI on the bottom of lighter colored prints after pulling them off the build plate, even if I let it fully cool first, so I've started doing a super light coat of hairspray, that must have locked in some water. It doesn't affect adhesion when the bed is warm, but prints fall right off when cool.
Hi. I want to make holographic anime cards like those of 90s which have an adhesive holographic front. I've peeled an old one to see how it's done and it has an holographic adhesive front, cardboard back (also printed) and the silicone base paper.Do you know if I have to get the silicone paper and cardboard by separate and glue them or is there any sort of cardboard including a silicone base side? Sorry for bad english
Everything is measured, checked, cut & test fits perfect... Until it's installed. I have removed/installed/removed/re-installed this nook 3 times. concrete block construction, so atypical to begin with.acrylic tub, deeper than the original by about an inch. there are reinforcement ribs molded on the bottom. they are smaller, thus more numerous and cover more area because of their reduced size. the ribs were contacting part of the shoe, pushing it away from the mating surface. got it sorted, but it cost me 8 hours. had to undo 80% of what I did 2x yesterday. I'm a one-man crew, so no extra hands to help lift, hold, maneuver, prop or adjust.78 year old construction. I envy the "new build" guys.
>>2888508Door is too low
>>2888508i would love this if not for the stupid adjustable handheld that can't even reach 50% of the rod lengthreally lowers the otherwise clean appearance should have fed it from a seperate nipple or not used an adjustable rod, just a small slide in just below the main head
>>2888540are you referring to the handheld hose? yeah i bought every individual piece separately and can just get a longer hose, no biggie. the hose/handheld/etc are all amazon chinkshit except the valve body and trim kit which are delta, and the head which is hansgrohe. i thought of adding a separate nipple and diverter for the handheld but i wanted to minimize plumbing changes (this remodel was necessitated after discovering the original shower had leaked at the curb over years and rotted out the subfloor)>>2888520yeah i need to re-adjust the door. i'm so scared of exploding the tempered glass that i'm reticent to tighten down the clamp part of the hinge too much, even though i know it can take it and the instructions specifically say not to worry about it
OK, back to this one...in order to get a flush wall, I have to install (mold & fire treated) plywood on the cinder block walls. this is to compensate for the thickness of the shower surround at the edge, where it meets the block wall.so I have to cut two sets of panels with perfect holes for all the existing plumbing & electrical. first the plywood, then the FRP to cover it and shower surround mounting flange. the plywood and FRP have to have dissimilar seams, so I measire and make my directional, jigsaw-looking cuts from opposite corners as starting point.once cut & test fitted, I will cover the plywood in FRP adhesive & install the panels.
first panel is a fit.
What’s the story on these big ~1000w, ~3000rpm corded handheld drills? Who uses them for what? I thought speeds that fast were only for really small bits in soft metal, where you’d be using a drill press or mag drill or something.Or conversely, why do cordless drills usually top out at ~2000rpm?
>>2888732You're better off with a rotary hammer.That corded drill looks like a combination of a hammer drill and an old school coring-type wriest snapping drill
>>2890110NTA but it's perfectly fine for certain use cases like cheap temporary shelf supports or a shipping crate; not everything has to meet the exacting standards of eurotard castlefags who demand that everything touched by a tool has to be le aesthetic craftsmanship and perfectly functional with no maintenance 500 years from now or else its "made of paper and twigs".
>>2888732I use mine for small core drilling, large hole saws and concrete work.A homeowner should have one of these hammer drills to compliment the cordless drill.
>>2888732>Who uses them for what?I use them to peer directly into the mind of the hooker I just killed.
>>2891194>A homeowner should have one of these hammer drills to compliment the cordless drill.I don't see why not just a rotary hammer that has an option for no impact drilling
What diy solutions could you implement to keep him living well even without the full use of the rear legs?I am looking into dog wheelchairs and stuff like that.
>>2889058dont give pets "human" food (sandwiches, pasta, spices, smoked etc), they are NOT grazers and most flours contain gluten -> gluten ATAXIA (see wikipedia).It's literally nerve gas! Some brands of dogslop even cut their dry pellets with wheat,
>>2889058Don't be so quick to put yourself in this life.1. Why is the dogs leg collapsing?2. Is it an advancing condition?My dog for reference developed cancer in its spine, the dog could no longer hold in its piss or shit.No matter how much I loved the dog, it became an issue of sustainability and it could not be so any longer.For the dog had drastically lost its quality of life due to the progressive nerve damage.I understand your pain more than anyone, but you must address how far this condition will go.Otherwise you are quite literally compliant in the suffering of your dog, not in its quality.For such a dog in nature will always willing succumb to death as it progresses closer every day to it.God speed.
>>2889058Try giving it a lot of exercise maybe it could fix itself
Do your best to find a solution, be it wheels or diet idk. But get ready for it. It ain't far off sadly.

What would it cost me to get this re-roofed with architectural asphalt shingles in kentucky?
>>2890157>thats a shitfest roof to domaybe if it's your first daynothing out of the ordinary about this roof
>>2891102mega kek
>>2890879Open & box gable, hip, and dormer are all fine roof configurations and widely used. And the 3 at the bottom left are just applications of a hip roof on a non-square shaped building so not much to say about those.Jerkinhed, dutch gable, and combination are also technically fine from a roofing standpoint, but they complicate the framing for no good reason other than aesthetics.Hexagonal is ok, but it's only ever really used as an accent, like a smaller octagonal shaped feature as part of a larger building. Just doing an octagonal shaped building & roof by itself it kind of weird and I think most people would find it off-putting.And the M-shaped roof is simply retarded. I would question the intelligence and/or sanity of anyone purposely designing a building with a roof like that.
>>2891126>what is it calledModernist garbage.
>>2891134Yup, a good roofer can roof just about anything. It just costs a lot more when there are a lot of intersecting planes and dormers and shit because it requires a ton of flashing work compared to a simple gable or hip roof on a 4-sided building.

quick question. do these types of pipes usually make noise? loud noises? im thinking of renting this place but worried about that as im sensitive to noises. there are aprox 4 stories above.
>>2890676if it's sewage. which it looks like it is. there is turds and shit and water your gonna hear.if the rent is really good get insurance Incase someone fucks up above you and just stack shit around it and forget it's there.a really nice pro to this kind of setup is if there is a leak it will probably be near the pipe and easy to fix.the bad is if there is a leak it's shit water and if it's above you it's rolling down the pipe.your more likely to have your bathroom flooded from an overflowing toilet above you or something like that tho.just go view it in the morning or evening when people are showering or shitting and see what kind of noise it makes.
>>2890742it could also be a vent.no noise and it's just a pipe down to the sewage pipes to let off gas at the roof.so it might be no noise at all. you need to ask someone who can check or knows that space.
>>2890676Knock three times on the ceiling if you want meTwice on the pipe if the answer is no
>>2891001Well played probably old anon. Well played.Love,Fellow Old Fag
>>2890676I wouldn't see it as a deal breaker if everything else about the place is good. Worst case scenario you build a plywood box around it and stuff it full of insulation to kill the noise.
Anything I should take into consideration before I install a pond facing the front door?
>>2890945>attacked by mosquitoes and frogs
>>2890220tort liability
>>2890220Makes me think of that MXC show. Step on the wrong stone and you are eliminated.
>>2891201based idea. need some of those guys.
>>2890220That honestly just looks like a really stupid idea. For a multitude of reasons. Also fuck having to traverse an obstacle course every time I get home. I'm also fairly certain that the "walkway" in that picture would not pass code inspection.
Absolutely no idea what board to post this thread to but let's have a thread on cleaning and tidying, and what tips and techniques are great for being domestic.Just bought a reachy grabber to use around the house, i.e. the thing folk use for litter picking. I get that a lot of folk use them while being disabled but they legit makes tidying so much quicker and less tedious with getting stuff off the floor if you're ADHD like me and leave clothes and bits of paper and things everywhere during busy schedules. Also way more fun because it lets me pretend my grabber is a hungry monster, biting all mess within my path.
>>2875230>i simply make a real effort to do one single task every daysounds good. will try this.>>28758781. spray everything with cleaner (make sure it is actual cleaner so many bottles of spray shit are some other garbage like "dirt barrier" ????????)2. leave it for a few minutes3. scrub all with large scrubbing brush (the kind with a handle on the back)4. wash down everything with shower
>>2875927cool i can now store about 25% as much stuff in my tool drawer and need 4x as much space for the same shit.
>>2876325ummm based?nice fucking meter with the dials!
You know what i hate? tidying is just moving stuff around, but i have no space for things, and i don't want to get rid of my parts because then i can't build things, but i can't build things because i have no space aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
>>2876325Based, this is the shed setup I strive for once I fix the century old concrete floor and fix all the gaps letting dust in.
for those struggle with pant button: a DIY solution :D just loop zip tie and close around the hole, no button need
>>2890057retarded solutionone of my work jeans has its button ripped out. threaded a paper clip through the zipper. now when i want to wear them i just need to thread the other end through the belt buckle. >>2890070kek
I zip tied the fucked up zipper of a work coat and used it as a pull-over for years... Also stitched some zippers shut with wire before.
>>2890057could've just widened the button hole if you were struggling with it
>>2890070you also carry extra zip-ties, right?
>>2891308Of course.
Are inversion tables any good? Maybe not for fixing spinal problems, but at least relieving pain/discomfort?
>>2885509My wife had two vertebrae and a disc replaced, I probably would get that professionally done though. she's been great ever since
>>2885509with proper spinal support the pain should subside->try pic related
>>2889665I herniated two discs in a car wreck. Sleeping on the floor helped a lot.
I ran machines and drove all over thru covid, i had issues before but thats what ruined me Got sick of living out of hotels, do maintenance now at a hotel ironically. The pain has changed and is more manageable, but i still am like 3 years into awful pain and 2 years into chiro every two weeks. I couldnt move and was in pain, now I can move, but my right side sciatic nerve still makes every day about it
