thinkin of becoming a rooferim up for the challenge. thoughts?
>>2951821roofing isn't even bad atleast your outside.i've never worn fall ppe tho so maybe thats a pain.
>>2955463I'm more fit than I've been in a long time being a cribber. Hours and pay are great, and my crew are top notch.
cool, shoes for work shoes for life regularly replace work shoes. polytech long shirt all the protection none of the trapped heat. in my experience contractors will eat in their car with the crew, that shit is weird and looks bad but seems to be a dumb standard
>>2955747the problem is you are only outsidea rainy day means you don't get paid and a sunny day pushes you closure to skin cancer
>>2955463why not drywall? the sheets are cheap, mud is cheap, mudding is like playing with wet sand, and the profit is insane. under 500 dollars in materials yet charge someone 5k.
I'm looking into buying some sort of key programming tool. I already have a VVDI Prog and have already done a couple of CAS3/4 and EWS3 cloning procedures but I cannot add new keys with it. Do any of you have experience with the VVDI Bimtool? Cannot find a all that much about it online. There is VVDI2 too but that is a lot more expensive and doesn't have the module programming capabilities.
I'm looking at a house tomorrow. Originally booked the tour for the lols, but now I'm legitimately considering going through if I don't find anything too egregious tomorrow. What sort of things should I look for/ask the agent?As for the house itself, it's the definition of a fixer-upper. I'm okay with that, I was gonna renovate whatever home I bought anyways.
OP here. Finally got to take a look at the place. It's even worse than I thought, since damn near the whole building will need to be gutted to be livable. On the bright side, this whole experience has mentally opened the door to actually buying a house at some point. Thanks to everyone who replied, feel free to kill/let this thread die.Blogpost done

I found a bunch of 48v ebike batteries that wont charge. How do I diagnose whats wrong with them?
>>2957949Wait, so at 100% charge, did it still say 250 miles or 90 miles? My car battery drains too fast.
>>2957962Who cares what it estimates? Driving the car is the only real measure. My car always tells me 430 miles, and hits E at 400.
>>2955654They make great incediaries. I safely dispose of lithium batteries by shooting (22LR so they don't scatter) then scrapping the metal slag with other metals. You can snap cells in half held in a bench vise etc (I wear my welding PPE) or similar too. Everyone who enjoys working with lithium batteries should have personal experience with how they ignite and burn.Ebike batteries have made some nasty residential fires. I do not store my solar power batteries in any structure I care about nor would I work on lithium batteries anywhere but my all-steel welding shop.If a large pack burns no extinguishers cannot put it out and if that pack is automobile size you lose the building.

>>2955654Open them up. They probably just have one or two bad cells in them that need to be replaced.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDrz5zhNxz4
>>2958217Yeah I tried that with an electric bicycle pack from my brothers. I replaced a couple cells, and tried charging it, and kept having cells fail to the point that half the batteries in the pack were bad. I tried salvaging the rest but after testing them they were just done.
How can i remove my fill plug without stripping it? its a size 8 hex. Do I have to shill out for an impact wrench?
>>2956141Also, there are proper hex sockets for this job get the socket for it.
>>2956923I would grind flat spots on opposing sides and use vise grips at that point. That pan is cast, would be really easy to crack it with an errant blow from a chisel
Guys how do i unscew this my wifes boyfriend wont help me
>>2956144>hit the back of it with a hammerI bet you work at jiffy lube. Tha'ts what the "technician" did to my transfer case and he caused a shear fracture. Its been leaking slowly every since.
>>2956141By using the correct hex bit and a breaker bar.Do not try to do it wrong, Tools are cheaper than broken parts.It's internal hex appears to be undamaged. Ensure your hex bit is fully seated then if needed add a cheater pipe to the breaker bar because leverage improves control. Hammering tools just bounces them around while a controlled pull (or push if you use a boot toe which is an easy way to add force) frees most stuck hardware.The casing will be moving on its rubber shock mounts. No worries on that front.>>2957900Those were used successfully on millions of motorbikes to remove engine side cover JIS and Phillips screws in the era before socket head case screws were standard, which were at least as delicate. They're also used to remove stuck panel screws on aircraft. Been there done both often.An idiot with a hammer was your real problem. I've used mine since the 1970s including many customer motorbikes and broken nothing. The goal is NOT trying to bash the plug through the casting.
Is there any easy way to turn them into half assed cat shelters outside for cold weather? Either individually or stacked somehow? I want to help the kitties but I'm also cheap and lazy.
why are we enabling invasive vemin species with plastic garbage?
>>2957982I want to know this person's living conditions that they have a large number of cat litter buckets and also have a large number of "stray" cats wandering around. this screams animal hoarding.that said, I also used to get several of these buckets in a month, but that was because I managed an apartment that had several old cat ladies. one of them was awesome: 2 cats, no hair anywhere,. meticulous constant housekeeper, Ø cat odor, baked us brownies and other confections, cooked me lunch occasionally. to be fair; we have some barn cats for pest control. I think there are 5 still around. we feed them about 2 cups of food almost every day. keeps them active as mousers. we don't by litter, little fuckers shit in the garden... assholes. Haven't seen a mouse in or near the house & power shed in 3 years.
>>2958024Ours is not to question why, ours is but to DI, uh, Y
>>2958024 Yeah, because the idea that somebody can already own 2 cats and have lots of leftover cat litter jugs while also having a stray population that I would prefer not to freeze the death on my porch definitely means I'm hoarding animals you fucking retard. Nigger. I bet Both you and >>2958000 based digits serial killer bro fight to figure out who's going to be in bottom.

I live in a cold weather area with lots of snow on the ground and I am honestly not in the kind of financial situation where I can buy a bunch of those fancy space blanket boxes off of Amazon so I'm just trying to do what I can to help the local population through the winter since it seems like it's going to be a harsher one. Thank you!

>>2955617Nigger what part of $9 don't you understand? I could buy 10+ at that price before reaching the cost of a real Dewalt. I'm getting a whole set of backup/secondary tools for next to nothing.>>2955706I'm hoping for something similar with these. If AvE is to be believed most basic electric hand tools are like $10 in materials and the rest is spent on marketing and kept as profit. Considering Ryobi will often clearance out bare tools for $20~30 I think that's believable. I'm hoping they stuffed more or less the same internals from the Dewalt factory over there into these but China's tool industry is so robust I'm sure this is either a custom designed in china BOM or they pulled all the cost out of it.Either way I'm down to play.

I design stuff with Blender for 3d-printing. Lately a friend asked me to design some mechanical parts for printing and I realized Blender isn't suitable for this, because when you apply a subdivision modifier, all the dimensions change because the geometry gets deformed. I was going to learn freecad but i watched some people doing stuff with it on youtube and every time i watch a video i say to myself "i could model this in Blender in like half the time." is this the nature of CAD modeling, or is this specific to freecad?
>>2957375if your shrink diagnosed you with severe autism, and you like being tied up and having your nipples pinched really hard, i can only recommand openSCADwe have a word in french for thing that makes you feel like openscad : une purgebut i like it
>>2957795i decided to try openscad, it seems like it's a bit easier. FreeCAD keeps constraining you and throwing errors that require some brain power to understand.
try BRL-CAD
>>2957497>just kindaSurely you can be a bit more specific?
>>2957819NTA but you've got options. You can click the "no external references" button on the ribbon. You'll lose some constraint functionality but it'll make sure no external references are created.You can lock or break external references from sketches and feature from the context menu on the feature tree. It should have a tab that says "External references". Also in sketch you have the "Display/delete relations" tab where you can go check out the relations and delete the external ones and replace them with fixed or dimensioned relations.Or you can make a 'Skeleton' part in the assembly where you'll model just the geometry that needs to be shared between parts. Then you can reference any other part only to the skeleton and you'll have a single parent to all the children features and thus no fucky children/parent loops

Replacing Struts With Shit Tools Edition
>>2948435You do realize this is how like 95% of race cars get aligned right? I think they might be more concerned about tire wear.
>>2951627I managed to fix it, it was blindingly obvious when I popped the hood that the pipe from the air filter to the throttle was loose. I could hear the hissing sounds. I pushed it back on, cleared the code and been fine since. No idea why it did that, maybe I knocked it changing my starter.
Swapped the rear differential in my Mazda last month. Only major repair I’ve had on the car in 90k miles. Now I’m paranoid about getting at least the life of the tires out of it. Ran some Techron into the fuel 2x, tomorrow I’m going to pull out a bit of the engine oil and replace with crankcase stabilizer for a few hundred miles before my next oil change. The diff I put in was used and now has about a thousand miles on it so I will also charge the fluid once more with Royal Purple 75/85. Front transfer case too. Finally the throttle body. Should I bother changing the ATF fluid + filter if it’s never been done before? Heard it can create problems where there were none
>>2948455>you are correct to not trust the person andvocating diy alignmentsthe shitfucks at most shops are just going to set for maybe 5/16 toe in and not bother settling the suspension and trying again, you're just as well off to have a drunk friend hold the tape measure in your driveway.setting camber yourself is not really that hard if you have a level.

These blinds are breaking me. Anyone familiar with this clip mechanism? Trying to remove the valance, which seems jammed up under the blind mechanism. Just see these metal clips under but pushing it either way doesn't seem allow this to give anyway. Help me get this demon shit off the ceiling.

The first thing a real man does when he gets a new angle grinder is rip off the guard and toss it in the garbage.

>>2956711>What are the advantages to removing the guard?can't waste time watching porn when you are blind and no need to smoke since you have already rotten your lungs by probably not using respirator or any other safety gear neither
>>2957778>can't waste time watching porn when you are blind and no need to smoke since you have already rotten your lungs by probably not using respirator or any other safety gear neitherSo overall a net positive? Nice.
