Why are these things so ungodly expensive? Are they at least worth it quality and ergonomics wise?
>>2975867We overload them with a hydraulic power unit. We found a flaw and a remedy so customers don't complain their box fell apart. Like I said, they hold up well, considering.
>>29755625 gallon buckets and liners work better, but they get heavy and you'll never look like a try-hard.
>>2976014This. Though those are more expensive than they should be for what they are, too.
>>2975562I have this. 1/10th of the price and mine has lasted for 4+ years. Why people buy expensive brand-name shit? To show off. It's fashion.
>>2975866ITS NOT A PURSE!!!ITS A CARRY-ALL BAG WITH A SHOULDER STRAP!!
Why has construction gotten so shit over the past 20 years? Ever since the start of McMansions, it's gotten worse.What would you do if you were this young rocket scientist in this situation?
>>2961542What the fuck does that matter in that specific situation? You don't have any floor paneling in your shithole of a country and just walk on bare cement? I bet you would also clean a parquet floor with pic rel.t. Germoid
>>2972643Mate. Osb doesn't even need to be subjected directly to water. It will naturally turn to shit just because it *is* shit. You're going to defend compressed shit wood and glue? Get out of here.
>>2961523lots and lots of mexicans. an unbelievable flood of retarded mouthbreathing beaners that want high pay for absolute garbage work. I have a friend that hired a company to build an extension onto his home in his backyard so that he could move his elderly mom in. he walked through one day and found the the spics had been shitting in the unplumbed bathtub. tons of dried beaner turds in his mother's bathtub. these vile illegal mexican shits probably had diseases in them.
>>2974365>Osb is shit but your soffit, trusses and everything is fucked. Long before you can blame the shitty osb.Mate, does that sound like I'm defending it? Osb is shit. Wood and glue is a broad spectrum, laminated veneer lumber is an example of it working. Osb is usually shit, but like lvl there are products that aren't shit. And like I said, if you install your trusses, soffits, it doesn't matter if its cedar or if it's a clearance special. It's gonna fail
>>2975623had a customer ask me today if we do irrigation/sprinklersno, they don't require a license and compete at wages I cannot entertainthey still infiltrate my liscenses trade because the law is only a 'liscensed party" has to be on staff to hold employees accountable
I can't get my hands on anything remotely resembling a vacuum pot where I live, not even online.Realistically, how feasible is to weld two containers together and suck the air out of between them so I can cook meals for virtually free?I already use a food thermos to passively cook pasta, rice, noodles, but something like the stanley pot would allow for bigger meals like stews.
>>2969795>vacuum sealednot lower the pressure to boil at water at a lower temp>>2972069>>2972472
>>2969806Just use a portable ice chest/coolerI used to pasteurize straw for mushroom growing by filling a beer cooler with straw and hot water then shut the lid. It would still be scalding hot hours laterAlso, pic related
>>2973399Oops forgot pic
>>2969795find an old asbestos glove, cut it into thin strips and insulate with that
>>2969795nigger what? you want to increase the boiling point by increased pressure, not decreased one. otherwise you just boil out the water without proper temperature to actually cook the meal.
This time it will work.Wheelbarrow tire tube.
>>2975738>WheelbarrowJust get a solid tire.
>>2975798I like to suffer
What's the best way to protect a bike tube from puncturesHard mode: no Tannis Armour (doesn't have my bike's size)
>>2975827Don't run over sharp things.
>>2975828Good advice but there's always some dumbass debris. Even seeds can be sharp enough to puncture tires
Retard here, can I replace this without soldering
if you are going to use non soldering connectors, make sure the pipe is not being used as ground after the connection. If it is, you are going to lose your grounding.
>>2975695Looks like galvanic corrosion. Maybe some smart ass wrap some other metal around it?
>>2975695Maybe the coolant line just above the pipe is causing condensation in that area.
>>2975695lot of wires near it, maybe some sort of electrolytic thing was going on? looks like recent work was done so who knows what was in the area prior.
if you insist on not solder, a copper crimping tool is ~115$looks like you'll have more reapirs to do in the future and it's worth investing injust know crimp fittings are 10x price solder fittings
Worst DIY accident you've had or seen?
>>2975802well how big of a wound because most farmers don't get the vaccine and a while back never even heard of it
>>2975806Are you from the 19th century?
>>2975807maybeas long as it means less arbitrary jabs
>>2975809Unless your mom was one of the original crunchies in the 80s you probably had tetanus or tdap as a kid already even if you lived in the third world. They are very common and very old. They were among the early golden vaccines that made people like vaccines to begin with. Tetanus is a horrific way to die and it probably happens to your dad and then you have to sell the.farm and watch him die slowly over a month as his spine snaps from his own uncontrollable muscle contractions.With pertusses you watch your infant child cough so hard it starts coughing blood and drowns in it's own blood.
>>2975811damm dude
Chainsaw?I alre have a glass one and a small electric one but should I get a big one?I'm kinda running out of wood on the property also.
>>2974246>what are you going to cutmy old pops goes and cuts firewood on the highway rightaway if he sees a tree fall down. occasionally somebody will stop and ask him wtf hes doing and maybe if he needs any help. the only time he got told to fuckoff was by some out of state roastie railroad middle manager cunt because he was cutting a tree across an abandoned spur and he just waited a few days until they were gone and then went back. but he has lvl:9001 dilligaf so ymmv if youre fucking awkward bud
>>2974243No.
>>2974243Do what this anon says >>2974302 BUT do it with pic related. If you are not fat or old you can cut like a chainsaw with one these bad boys. Once you try it you will want get the larger version
I have a small 18V chainsaw I use for smaller jobs, including rough carpentry. it's handy. if you plan on cutting down trees I suggest using higher voltage ones. they Just Work, unlike stinky loud gas powered chainsaws
>>2974243They'll do light work fine. Do yourself a favor and forget the cordless meme. Just get one that plugs into an outlet, and a good extension cord. Simplification leads to less irritation.
So this bullshit, one year old washing machine is making a squealing noise when it moves the agitator. Has anyone else experienced something like this? I fear it's something to do with the 'splutch' assembly, and I might have to replace it, but new shit is made of fucking chinesium and I don't think it would be worth it. Should I just strip this for parts, and just find an old maytag from the 80's?
>>2975051if it's squealing, that sounds like a belt, but honestly i'm no technician. give the symptoms to AI and see what it says
I got an arduino kit a year ago for free on a raffle, it's an Arduino UNO with a bunch of components, it's been sitting inside my wardrobe for a year because i don't know what the fuck to do with it.Any sugestions on something cool i can make? I have a 3D printer as well.Doesn't need to have a practical purpose, it can be just for fun...
Piano buzzard
>>2972253You can make an arcade cabinet with one of those and run a bunch of emulators on it.
>>2972253sell it before people realize it is obsolete (bought by a big brand unlikely to find it commercially viable)or save for the next generations of troons to gawk over in a 'retro unboxing' 3d video
I went through a spell a few years ago when I was getting into flight simulator. You could make some control panels with them. I didn't have a 3d printer though so I made all the faceplates by hand. The throttle quadrant in the middle has slider pots with their levers sticking into a drilled hole in the dowels. It uses a joystick library so the game recognizes it as a controller. The other two panels require fsuipc and mobiflight to interface with the game. Really fun way to learn about this stuff. I've been wanting to rebuild them I've just been too busy with other things lately.
>>2972253so basically you write and upload a c program and it will do what you program it to doi use mine to drive analog dials.
I’m putting together a tent sauna, but my current settup won’t go above 125F. It’s a Morzh tent, and I’m trying to reuse my US stove caribou 18 stove, but even though with the rocks the steam is nice, its heat is inadequate. It’s honestly inadequate for my 9x13ft canvas tent in the winter also, so I was wondering if any of you have ever used a larger hot tent stove in a sauna (like a winnerwell nomad stove). It looks like I might need to get two purposes built stoves, one for long steady burns in the tent, and another for fast intense burns in the sauna. Though obviously if I can avoid the added expense of a second stove it would be nice. Else, maybe some tips for getting a hotter fire? I’m just burning fir I cut last spring.
>>2971391My tent sauna only goes up to 85 F still gives me a good sweat though.
>>2971578a lot of effort to sit in a uncomfortably hot tent with other naked dudes
>>2974575forgot pic
>>2974950Demonic picture.
>>2971391Put a second larger tarp on top of the tent. Try to leave a little space between the two layers. Instant double walled insulation and it will hold heat a hell of a lot better.
Did he really deserve all the hate?
so there is this room is next to mine, and my dad welds and polishes metal in it. We polish metal all day long, and I recently bought bottled water, and after leaving it in my room for a day or two, it had a strange, metallic taste when I drank it again. Do you think it could be lead dust from what we were polishing?I also weld and polish, and lately I feel nauseous when I eat.
>>2974050
>>2974046Have you tried not being a wuss?
>>2974046you are your father's diy and your purpose is to die from lead polishing dust. there's nothing we can do about it, in fact we're impressed by his feat as fellow diy enthusiasts
>>2974046>lead dust from what we were polishinglol
>>2974046Im from a territory of former Yugoslavia, a place that decided to have its own engineering standards based on german, imperial russian and newly founded american standardsThe metalic shit one tastes is literal metal flakes on microscopic levels, they get injected into every human body and soul that walks thereThe standard obligation for such workers, mainly those that do precision grinding, was and still somewhat is, drink a glass or 2 of milk during break timeMilk has something in it that makes it easier for the human body to eject metal flakes troughout skin, asshole or breath, or all 3 at the same timeIm not talking normal store bought milk, im talking yeee oldeee amish type heavy milk, cow, goat, sheep, whatever2 glasses of milk and have your dad stop at 60 years of ageAfter that there are no guarantees
how nuts would I be to buy a POS like this?Never worked on any RV shit, but I'm an old carpenter and have done all my own auto-repair.I hear nothing but horror stories about new RVs, no matter how much they cost.or thishttps://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/rvs/d/milpitas-1995-coachman-rv/7909649068.html
They're total sacks of shit. Depending on the brand I'm sure you can get one that's mechanically reliable but the rest of it is pure garbage. Heard nothing but horror stories from owners. Coworker had three of them, two new and they all have the same problems some kind of way. Even worse some of them are made with no foresight for how certain stuff is layed out. One of his, shit tank is way in the back and is so close to the ground it got gouged by a curb backing it up and dropped however many gallons of piss all over the Walmart parking lot. Other two had a combo of bad roofs and bad floors from the water damage. All your accessories and appliances are going to be pretty low quality and if they're decent odds are good the manufacturer has managed to fuck up access and plumbing if they ever need repairs.>>2972833Box truck could work especially if it has double doors on the back and not a roll up. Seen a couple site offices built out of 55ft trailers that had a wall and regular door set behind the trailer door. Would be a fair bit of work to insulate and they command a price as work vehicles but that'd be how I'd do it.
OP here, thx guys.main prob with Box Truck is hopping in and out.they are build for backing up to 3' high dock, or lift gate, or long ramp. Side house door with steps could work.I think I'll look for box-van with walk through from box to cab, and maybe DIY a side door and steps.
OP here, how about this POS?my BIL used to drive for Fed Ex, maybe he'd be able to tell me if its a loser.https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/cto/d/south-san-francisco-2001-international/7913459762.htmlI fig at least Fed Ex wont be buying garbage that leaks, etc.I did once test drive an old bread truck 4sp. Pretty much screaming at 55mph in 4th. Guy even told me, "That ain't the clutch slipping, that is just how they are geared".
>>2972306Do u think that satellite is still operational?
>>2975472Fucking hate assholes like that poster that spam all of their listings with keywords. Someone searches for a Honda Civic and that truck shows up in the results. Nice. If you buy the thing, kick him in the nuts before you drive off.
Bubba fills water meter hole with concrete to stop Water Co. from turning off woman's water. :)This guy has a whole bunch of similar Robin Hood type vids.
>>2972146Love this goofy xer hick
>>2972453on the internet no one can tell you are only pretending to be retarded. if you act/do retarded you are retarded.
>>2972453>take time to investigate this screenshot of this shitpost and reverse image search and watch this random YouTube channelMany people find better use of their time.
>>2972728like what? falling for retarded shit?
>>2972183He might be, but everyone knows someone just as dumb is this.
A cordless 6.5" and corded 10.25" circular saw is the perfect, do-everything circular saw setup. Better than any 7.25" plus anything or those long 4.5" saws.
Go big or go home. Only one you need.
>>2969670>blade left, but you know I'm right
>>2969462>SidewidersThat's like a baby's toy!
>>2969462I kind of want a 10-1/4. I have 16-5/16 but I don't like hauling it out of the shop.
