hey /diy/ post your quick & dirty stuff.
heres mine:
Balcony door AC adapter. Build from cardboard, hot glue and sweat.
I borrowed an AC for the weekend from where I work. for it being temporary I don't feel the need to build something durable. but the heat is awful, so it must go quick.

I dont bother sealing anymore. Fuck these retarded euro windows Cant even get window ACs here.
I just rotate the AC so it cools the tiny area where I sit.
>>
>>2826553
oh man, must suck living under the roof. as quick fix just use a rescue blanket and some tape to seal the gaps
>>
>>2826545
If it works, heck yeah. The shitty sliding plastic panels that come with the portable AC units always needs some duct tape or other modification to get a 70%+ seal.

Have a pic of an air filter I pulled from my mom’s car recently.

>The shitty sliding plastic panels

>always needs some duct tape

Grandpa was (never) going to turn his 200sq ft office into an apartment so he out this set of kitchen cabinets up there. i nailed together a catwalk out to this shelf to push it out of the room and throw it down (working alone). 1/?

5/5, cleaned up and catwalk taken down, it was probably 2-3hrs total.
>>
>>2826612
Yea bruh, let’s get some silicone and semi-perma seal the AC duct on the portable AC unit whose purpose is to give you a cool room for 3 days until the real AC gets fixed. Also you don’t always have the option to put it in a window or door that’s not going to be used. I’m not trying to re-caulk the thing every time I have to let the dog out the sliding back door.

>>2827341
All that stuff, you neeeeed it. The muddy water damaged CRT, the old Colman's box, the broken cabinet, the folgers cans on the stars, all of it are needed.

>>2827343

deleting the catwalk is a nice job. but why did you demolish the kitchen thing? by cutting it you could have used it as workbench with compartment
>>
>>2828555
i cropped out the rest of the shop, but as
>>2828354
points out I just have too much shit. I already have workbenches, have other shit that's worth working on, but it's buried under all of this dumb shit like kitchen cabinets.
i probably would have donated them or something but I couldn't get them down the stairs alone, hence >>2827341.
>>
>>2827343
you could've disassemble it into flat pieces and take it out for less time than that
I don't know why some people put extra effort in essentially breaking shit and making a mess, like fucking children with a pocket full of firecrackers
>>
>>2827341
You would be a fool to get rid of that CRT.
