Why are these things so ungodly expensive? Are they at least worth it quality and ergonomics wise?
I had a Rolykit somewhere D:One of the blue and red ones, scored it for free curbpicking
>>2975562Probably isn't worth getting those non enclosed ones. The fully enclosed ones are well worth the money, had mine 7 years, beat the dog shit out of it. Sat right on the top of it, used it as a step stool when I need a few more inches, still strong. If you have the loot and like nice shit like I do, they are worth the money.(This post was payed for by VETO bags.)
Got one of these from Walmart a while ago just so I could carry essential tools in and out of boats, works really nice especially if I have to walk for a distance out in the yard. Handle is decently comfortable too.
>>2988667>RolykitThere were about a hundred of those sold at a somewhat local auction house... Some old man must have hoarded a shit ton of them. They were all new and never used.

How can I learn SMAW, Arc Welding? Can you reccomend me youtube videos or books or courses?
>>2989445Who is this person and why do you keep posting him/her/it? Just get a welder and start fucking around with it. That will teach you more about what you don't know so you can focus on fixing those aspects.
>>2989449she's a foid, shame
>>2989445I was going to tell you, but then I saw her face. Just ughhh, god it's ugly.
>>2989445Those are some sad looking titties.

I think I have termites, bros... Does anybody have any experience solving it themselves? I was thinking of using a liquid barrier but I have a patio touching the foundation so I don't know effective it'll beby itself but bait stations seem really expensive. The perimeter I have to cover is 300ft at least. What brands should I use or avoid?
my bad y'all, what a horrible picture
>>2989081termidor or temprid.if I remember correctly termidor is a not alarming pesticide. meaning the termites come in contact with it but do not react to it immediately. they then carry it back to the colony getting it on other termites where it kills more of them.
>>2989092What do you think about termite killer granules? There's this guy on youtube who says they work (or rather they used to work but the new formulation doesn't but AI conflicts this and says the new formula works just as well, amazon reviews seem favorable but this could be botted). https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H7rW_TSBHJ4&pp=0gcJCVACo7VqN5tDAlso should I bother with termidor foam or not? I heard a guy said it foams because they mixed it with soap making the termidor repellent and to only use regular tremidor. It sounds like bs to me but idk.
>>2989092>>2989118nvm. I appreciate the help I just went with taurus since it's termidor but cheaper and I'll just have to dig a trench like a little bitch. Thanks for the help, anon!

Every room in my house needs new wall plaster, ceilings and floors. Issues vary from bad uneven or crumbling plaster to shitty plyboard ceilings where the seam is showing. Many floorboards need to be replaced and many more screwed down. I also need to replace all the interior doors. The good news is the plumbing and electrics are all great.My questions...1 - Where to begin? Ceilings before walls? Floors first or last?2 - Are there any shortcuts like fixing plaster board directly onto existing walls and ceilings? 3 - If ^^ possible how would cost compare with prep and traditional plastering?Any other pointers appreciated.
>>2988869Thanks anon.How would drywall compare with normal plaster? I assume the prep for drywall would be less too? Saving on time if not money.
>>2988865>Where to begin?If that's the house in question, may I suggest picture related.
>>2988873>I assume the prep for drywall would be less too? Saving on time if not money.Both ultimately, drywall is cheap and easy to install. Plaster is too but takes way longer and requires way more work.
>>2988993Jesus fuck the detrimental impact to average IQ as AI garbage like this becomes the main source of information is going to be astounding.

I messed up and have no idea how to open itAny advice?
Some of these have a hole in the bottom to insert a wire like a paperclip and turn the dials until the wire goes all the way up. They open in seconds because they're made for luggage inspected by airports and only serve to slow people who want to peek in somebody's luggage to steal panties and cameras and stuff.
>>2987319>explicit instructions to bypass lock>steal pantiessounds like you have experience
>>2987099i bet i need 5 minutes to lockpick it by feel, an hour to try all the combinations
>>2987099Got it open yet?
>>2990928nope
I want to put in a super cheap shower in my workshop bathroom. I rent the shop so not too expensive, labor intensive, or hard to remove would be good design parameters.I have ~L42"xW34"xH98". And will have to have a tank catchment for grey water that would be pumped out. Any ideas? Thanks
We used something like this for asbestos removal. You need a pump, a shower head hooked up to a tap and some hose preferably connected to a hot water tank.
>>2989851Shower head over a floor drain, probably fed by a hose>I'm a bitch and I need hot waterHook it up to your slop sink>I have a small dick and want privacyHang a tarp>i don't want water all over the floorGet some fiber rolls
I was able to find a shower stall 75% off at the habitat for humanity for ~36$. I realized it was too high for the first mandoor to the bathroom, so I had to cut it down 3/4" >:[Now Ive welded a little face frame to make it less flimsy from AL angle that will double as a curtain rod. >>2989925If I had a floor drain life would be much better.
>>2989851Here you go anon. It's your $20 bathing solution. If the bathroom doesn't have a floor drain , you can use a construction sump pump
>>2990032Lol OK
I want to buy a 3D pen for general repairing purposes but I don't know any specifics or details about the different types of pens/ plastics they use to be most efficientanyone got any experience they don't mind sharing?plastic weight load strength would be most informative
>>2984938There's a woman on insta using these and then standard wood burning, hot knife, soldering stuff to smooth them and make very realistic fruits
>>2985446
>>2984662Yeah don't bother. I tried using mine to repair small trinkets and they fell apart in a couple days again. Soldering iron is way more effective, just be careful not to overheat the plastic.
>>2984662I wonder if California and Washington has banned these since they could be used to manufacturer firearms?
>>2984890Sounds good enough
Do you /DIY/ your own skateboard, bros?
>>2981161So I am sure this has been said but the OG boards were really just boards, that developed into cruisers. The modern standard board you are thinking of is the most developed and requires the most steps to make. The short version is good ply wood and shit tone of steam with a big press.
>>2987800nigga got the homosuck board
>>2987782nice homosuck board. for reals 10/10
nobody did the mike v pasta...

How do I get a /diy/ influencer gf bros?
>>2988621honestly, be yourself, stop worrying about "acquiring woman" as a task, and do stuff you enjoy while you're around other people. unfortunately i don't listen to my own advice, and i picked up electronics repair / soldering as a hobby which means i will die alone too OP.
>>2988990lets see you try shitposting with 12 beers in ya
>>2989260BASED!
>>2989266not really, I was up till 4:30 in the morning watching the same song on youtube on repeat because it was the only thing that's made me feel something in a long time. Definitely not the path to a /diy/ influencer gf. fucked up my sunday too

How's the trade treating you anon? Got any NICET licenses? For me:>5th year in the trade>Making $28/hr at 25yo>Have both Test and Inspection Level 1 and 2 licenses>Day to day work is a mix of service work and Test/Inspection
Damn, guess I am the only fire alarm technician here.
>>2989714Would you make more money if I made a habit of maliciously pulling fire alarms?$28/hr is not bad anon, stick with it, eventually find your way into management or just enjoy building the infrastructure we need to be a first world powerhouse (that women can't do and merely benefit from, god I hate them).
>>2989858>Would you make more money if I made a habit of maliciously pulling fire alarms?It would be very painfulThanks anon, it's either take this to the highest ceiling I can take it to. Or actually become disciplined and succeed at forex trading.

This is my 8 oz ball pein hammer.It was purchased at harbor freight in a pack of five, which is no longer available.It's worth about six dollars.When I picked it up this morning I decided I didn't like the varnish on the handle, so I took it off.
>>2988393>varnish feels ick to meneck yourself.
>>2988393Hehe, pein
>>2988393>>2988440Cool story broIn a similar vein I obtained this axe of no pedigree from a dead man and I'm thinking of putting a new handle on it and cleaning it up. My cross peen could use a new handle too...Disregard my blurry Catahoula. WHO HAS SOME FANCY AND FUNCTIONAL HANDLE DECOR
>>2988394heh

I was building a cabin without intention of it being a full-time living space, but now circumstances have changed and I'm probably going to be living in it full-time. I am now trying to squeeze storage space out of anywhere I can find it, and it occurred to me that I could use the "crawl space" under the floor to build a number of really big drawers. I can probably figure out how to build the boxes themselves, but the problem I have is making the slides.The ground is ungraded so they have to be hanging, can't ride on anything in the ground.I'm thinking of only letting the drawers come out a little bit less than halfway, so that the other half is always under the rails, and leverage is minimized. I also think that using gate hardware is the way to go.I don't know anything about building gates though. Or huge-ass drawers for that matter, so now I'm at a loss about how to actually proceed. cantilever gate rollers look like a good solution, but how many should there be and where should they go? Is there another type of hardware that you'd recommend?
>>2988401If you're only pulling them out halfway anyway, then just put some rollers on them and give them board "rails" to roll in. Or steel if you want srs bsns stuff.
>>2988406what kind of rollers would you recommend?
Careful doing this... floor joist systems are designed to a maximum load capacity, typically 40 lbs/sqft for residential living areas per building code. This accounts for a maximum load of occupants, appliances, furniture, etc.If you now add a bunch of huge drawers suspended from the underside of the floor platform and filled with stuff, you may start getting close to the load limit, or exceed it, causing your floor to start feeling like a trampoline or potentially even collapse.If you're going to do this, you should really try to figure out some way to bear that weight on the ground rather than the floor platform. Unless you sized out the joist sizes & spacing to a rating far more than was required by code.
Anything stored under there has to be OK with moisture/humidity since it's essentially outside.
>>2988406Good shit
>House was made in the 50s>The previous owner was absolute shit tier handyman, there was things in the house literally held together with fishing line>these old stairs are covered in weak tile that was also cut poorly and glued poorly, looks badAny idea on what to do considering what these stairs look like? IMO they don't look like they were originally meant to be bare wood, but the tile doesn't look good and I want it to go.
Tile can look fine if done right.
apologies for the shitty rotation in the OPHere is what it looks like undernearth the tiles
Remove tile, sand down to bare wood, apply stain and finish.
