I am building a bed loft that will render the existence of this ceiling fan impractical. There'll be ~45" between the deck of the loft and the ceiling. Are there any good low-profile (less than ~6" depth) options to replace it with that don't have external moving parts but still have an internal fan to maintain some circulation up at the top of the room? Any other suggestions of neat fixtures that would suit the situation? Or should I just put in a little basic dome light and figure out something else for air circulation?
>>2963372actual lol
>>2963371Keep the existing fan. Build a small skirt around it (attached to ceiling) to guard blade tips. The skirt will have to stand off fromthe ceiling to allow air flow.Think ducted fan.
>>2966169No
It's happening again.How is it possible that a furnace will not produce heat unless the filter is pulled out at least a couple inches? The furnace is not new, we did not have this problem years ago until a certain point, and apparently if you push the filter all the way in, it produces heat for only like a couple hours, and then stops doing so, leading us to pull the filter out to get it working again, and it only happens when it's really cold outside. Not moderately cold, it has to be "really cold", I guess in the mid 20s or less.Why does it only work briefly instead of not at all? Why the does the filter have to be pulled out, to get a runtime of more than like 2 hours? And why does it stop? Seriously, this makes no sense at all. Is there any furnace in the entire world besides ours that does this?
>>2965858Because "pleats" are too hard to say, even though you can see that I know what pleats are by my previous usage of the word...Are you the definition of "lolworthy"?
>>2965615>How about we start with this: When you say "5 inch", across which axis is it?>>Because I know what a "pleats per inch (or any other size)" measurement is, but there is nothing on a regular residential furnace filter that is anywhere near 5 inches in size. It's all either too big or too small, and I can't say I've seen one anything like how you describe, and you've never even said "per" anything.https://www.amazon.com/FilterBuy-20x25x5-Pleated-Replacement-Honeywell/dp/B00NVF51ZK

How is this genre of home kit?
>>2963184The reason the 2v Tritons got a bad rap was the thermostats would go out but still show varying temps without turning on the cooling system so they'd overheat and blow headsI have one with over 300k on it and it won't fucking die
>>2965097also no one wants to try and carry a big screen TV down the stairs while trying not to look suspicious, it's a great deterent
>>2962395>>2963497I spent 11 years living in a "mother in law" apartment behind and downhill from my family's house, which could only be accessed by going down two flights of outdoor stairs from street level - painted concrete for the bottom half and wood for the upper half. Never had an issue all that time and then 3 days before we sold the house and moved out there was some light rain and the instant I stepped out onto the concrete I went ass over elbows and landed hard with my knee right into one of the step edges, didn't break anything but I was hobbling for the next week and had a visible bruise for a month after that.

Ancient thing, its like a shop vac, suddenly started choking hard mid vacuum and released a smell of burning plastic so I turned it off.After letting it cool it turns on but sounds fucked up and it strongly smells of burning after a second or two.Screws are 8 point or 6 point and I got no tools or knowledge to fix things. Could it be something simple to replace like a belt or brushes or is it for chucking in the trash? It had a problem a few months ago where it started to spew out big chunks of dust through a broken filter area which I taped over with some porous filter from a spare aircon thing I cut to act as a filter xD (I can feel it blowing thoigh and no dust comesbout any more). The motor part is probably enclosed in metal anyway? I am a cheapskate and will likely get the screwdrivers to open it in the first place but only if its fixable.https://voca.ro/12NrDTlU0vKb
>>2965174rude
>>2965149Vac motors are relatively easy to replace.
>>2965148Get a security bit set, it's cheap.Take it apart.This is how you gain repair skills.It's already fucked, no risk.
>>2965148Small chance it's brushes. Bigger chance that the wire insulatoin on the motor windings wore through due to vibration or whatever and it shorted out in which case the motor is toasted.
>>2965148>Screws are 8 point or 6 pointWell which is it?Can't you count?
I want to take a photo of myself and age it as accurately as possible to the point where I look 80. A set of photos and I’d be dressed as a creepy old witch. I have never used any of the subscription AI stuff and I’m asking which model is the best for that.
>>2964370Find a young picture of someone who you know is old, use the young picture across a bunch of models and see which one looks closest to how the person looks now
>>2964370I've used FaceApp to see how I'd look, and I looked like a hybrid of both my grandfathers. When i did the female version of me, I looked like my mom when she was younger. Scary.
Does anyone here have any Parkside performance power tools? They came up with this little 20v kit of drill, impact drive recip saw, two 4ah batteries and charger for like 180€ and honestly seems plenty for sparse /diy/. And they offer 5 year warranty which is kinda crazy for cheap tools.I have PP screwdrivers with a metal shank and they are surprisingly good but power tools are a different beast.
>>2959318I have a battery sander and cord miter saw and power washer. parkside is perfectly decent for hobbyist/occasional use, obviously won't cut it professional volume/precison, but they're fine for just fucking around at home. The miter saw I have had for 3 years, did a whole home renovation, and it's still going.main downside of parkside for me is that whenever possible the tools are designed to only accept parkside consumable parts (blades etc) which are made of cheap shit metal, so if you're going to use it several times a month, might as well fork out the cash for higher end gear , it's cash your going to spend on extra bits and bobs anyway with parkside. (this is not a problem with drill bits)
>>2964206Yo im the anon that made the thread asking if that psbsap d4 is a good deal. What did you use the drill for in the last year? How does it perform? Any single issue?
>>2964336I think it's a great deal ye. Both this and last year, they ended up being bought out by scalpers (or people who really wanted it, like me) who buy it within an hour of the store opening. I didn't really put it through it's paces but I used it while making my workshop to drill 3mm steel for many hours while putting up OSB and it was fine.
>>2964381Nice, heh I'm also the guy coming in within an hour of opening to snatch it. I got it for 130, I see scalpers selling for 170 now
>>2964206that looks fucking nice. there are adapters that converts the voltagesaliexpress.com/item/1005008748699604.htmlrandom example but some are legit
I am designing a house, based off a kithomeMy girlfriend says she wants to have a lot of kids, so three smaller bedrooms would essentially be boys, girls, toddlersThe concept is that the less used rooms like bathrooms are on the street side of the house, and the house is as far front of the property as possible. This gives a larger backyard with the living room and all bedrooms having glass sliding doors that open directly onto the rear deck into the garden. not sure about that toilet on the left. Bathrooms all have double showers because it's really a cheap thing to do, and allows efficiency in the morningI think the Rumpus would be kind of a computer room for kids to have their games consoles and computers in a space that's still public, but not going to spread noise to the whole house
Half of you are going to call me a horrible person and the other half will inform me that Jewish tax assessors won't allow this without charging me an arm and a leg, but my dream is to have a great big house for my wife and I and my kids live in their own separate little house on the property. Kids are destructive, let them destroy their house. Also, when they grow up, they'll have their own independent living space and will be incredibly grateful for it.
>>2965838You are going to die alone, unloved and unmourned.
>>2952422holy shit please get someone who knows what they're doing to help before you fuck this up lmao
>>2965838That dream is rather generous to your kids. Nothing wrong with that though. One of my cousins had his bedroom in the garage, another cousin lived in my uncle's RV. Some kids enjoy that independence.
>>2965838As a former child I would have loved having my own outhouse to bring friends to and basically be a self-contained living area.
>Bosch plans to stop production at two Power Tools plants in Germany by late 2026: Sebnitz in Saxony and Leinfelden-Echterdingen near Stuttgart. About 500–510 jobs are affected. Production will shift into Bosch’s wider network, including Central and Eastern Europe.Rip Bosch, you had a good run.Insane that germany is letting their tool flagship brand stop all production at home and essentially allowing the name brand to die but well I guess it's just symptoms of a wider German manufacturing decline. The brand will be 130 years old next year and will probably end up being sold to some amerimutt kike owned conglomerate, fucking sad.

What is this new expert range bullshit? How many way can companies find to screw the end user? Fuckers already have /diy/ and pro and now they add another layer. Krauts have lost the plot.
>>2962409>please dont come to Europewell you got your wish. Manufacturing is leaving Germany pretty much entirely now. The regulations are so bad companies are setting up literally anywhere else (US is getting a lot of this brain drain). Its all part of the greatest scam of the century "green energy">hey guys erm despite having literally 0 carbon emissions nuclear is actually bad mkay so lets shut them down>hey guys lets invest heavily into wind & solar, in a dark windless countrynow they are burning fucking LIGNITE just to keep the streetlights on.

Due to personal circumstances, im currently living in a tiny bedroom with barely any space for anything. I have a desk, a nighstand, and my clothes mostly go under the bed in a plastic containerWhat are some tips and tricks for taking full advantage of such a small space? I was thinking of getting a custom-built shelf on top of the bed for storing some stuff, and then a tiny custom made bookshelf that fits the corner since theres a pillar right next to it
>>2965156holy shit
Someone should post that webm about a dude renting 1x1 meter room in New York.

Pay $650 US for a wooden loft bed or could I make it cheaper myself without compromising on the quality of wood?
>>2965772Define quality of wood.Do you want hardwood that looks nice? Is this 650$ bed made of hardwood?If it is the typical soft pine I expect, you can make it cheaper yourself, but you need to know what to look for when buying wood to avoid quality problems that will lead to bad fit due to warped/twisted wood.2 by 4's for building are usually rough sawn and not precise, you want to buy pre-planed wood for furniture and make sure it's not twisted or bend.
How do you press patterns into leather? I am working on a purse but idk how to make small flowers and stuff on it. Any pointers?
>>2965628i have no ideaiw as readin about leather though recently cos i was researching fur hats, and i decided i want a silver fox fur hat isometime in the future cos i think thats hard as f uck, it will go well with my cloak and hoodanyway yo they sell, they sell fuckein leather scraps, u can make keychains and shit with that or whatever, maybe small pouches. idk what kinda leather ud get for a full belt tho
>>2965628Get a beginner leather craft kit which should include a book on how to make basic patterns as well as the right tools
>>2965637This. Search for tandy leather tools and you'll come across a shit ton of different stamps and punches you can use to make patterns. Try to find someone selling them local at an estate sale or thrift store rather than pay the ridiculous new prices.
I have a 1 year + 27 day old microwave and it's blowing a fuse when I try to use it. I'm not sure what's wrong with it and I'd like to save it from a landfill. It came with a 1 year warranty and warranty expired like 20 days before it broke and the company (Hamilton Beach) refused to service it.I rarely used it and I've used it maybe 20 times to warm up some food over the past year. After I used it last time, it died while cooking in mid-cycle. I could see a flash of light. When I opened it, I saw a blown fuse. It uses those small glass fuses and I had to order them from Amazon.I was hoping it would be as simple as replacing a fuse but obviously that's not the case. Clock and electronics works fine but it immediately blows a fuse when I try to actually cook with it.What's wrong? What can I check? I have a DMM.
>>2958990is the cap also responsible when it appears to heat the food sometimes and doesn't other times and when it does its kinda weak and theres also a little bit of the weird sound and the light kinda flickers a bit

I work for a company installing garage doors, I'm not that competent and it feels like I do a dead end job with no room for growth.Starting from here what kind of services could I offer if I wanted to work for myself doing some handyman stuff? I own all kinds of tools already.
>>2964964Laminate flooring replacement?I did mine myself. It's a bitch to do it around doorways and have a continuous look.
>>2965367NTA but, as the sun rises and sets, it can shine on the photo eyes and stop the receiving eye from, we'll, receiving. Those things in the photo are basically sunlight blockers, but swapping the eyes around usually fixes the issue. Remember: if your opener wont close the door but you can hold the wall button and the door is able to come down, that's a photo eye misalignment.>>2964980$1000/day no shit? I'm a commercial install/service technician, get treated shitty by my shitty company that doesn't give a fuck about me, and have shit ass hours, and make $30/hr with no negotiation for the next 8 months, apparently. So I'll be monitoring this thread, especially as I don't suck at it.
>>2964964are garage doors too complicated to fabricate on your own >>2965014are those supposed to be like counterweight

I want to build a dog house. I'm not necessarily a diy guy but also I'm not retarded. Am I correct in thinking that this will be pretty easy? Or is this one of those things that looks easy but there's way more nuance?I don't have a saw so planning on getting the wood cut to the right size from the shop, besides that all I have is a power drill. Any tips are appreciated.
>>2964365Damn that's nice. Idk where you go from there, maybe an in-condo gym/pool?
>>2964337>>2964340Good for you looking after the dog bro, you are a good man. You can tell how genuine someone is by how they interact with animals.
>>2964141>I don't have a sawjust buy a hand saw. I like the pull saws better than the push saws. It will be good for you. Go to home depot or lowes and look at the cuck sheds and get some ideas on construction. Draw out the plans on paper, scale it out, and give it a try. The dog does not care
>>2964368Thanks anon. Here's another one I built with heated dog pads on the floor. Roof not on yet in this picture. Part over the door slides out and is a drawer for storing some stuff.
If you have a house, then your dog should have a house. Let that sweet pupper inside where he or she belongs
How the fuck do i open these?
>>2965511Wtf am I even looking at?
>>2965521its some stupid plug thats holding my m2 drive. not sure if im supposed to just pull really hard or if theres some other trick
>>2965526Never saw anything like that. Try twisting 90 degrees counter-clockwise before pulling. Use needle nose pliers.
>>2965526Is the heat sink clip being retained by the case (bottom-right)? You might have to unhook it before you try to pull the plastic pin.
