Been seeing them frequently in the bathoom and basement. I heard they eat roaches, mites, and other undesirable pests. should I leave them alone?
>>2789388>they eat pestsAs with spiders they are inherently useful to have around in a general sense but I still don't want to have them running across my face while I'm trying to sleep or hiding in my shirts in the closet. I go months between encountering a single one of either but when they're out in the open instead of eating the niggers in the walls then they -become- the pests, and are either killed or relocated outside chosen based on my convenience and the severity of the offense at the time.
>>2789388They're friends but if you see them in your bedroom, squarsh em Also, seal up wherever they're coming from
>>2789406kek
>>2789406this is my problem with all bugs that kill other bugs. don't scare me but climbing on me when i don't see you and we have no problem.
>>2789395more like crack and leaks, which again cause other bugs to come in.

wonderful. do you post off-topic bullshit on other boards, or just this one.
>>2787750Do you always get molested by everyone or just your stepdad?
>>2787747What union?Unions seem like the best gigs if you live in a city with a lot of big commercial or public infrastructure jobs.It also seems like union workers of all trades are basically just glorified laborers. Take the union's approach to concrete work for example. You have 'carpenters' for the forms, 'ironworkers' for the steel and 'cement finishers' for the finishing of the concrete. All of these guys are only skilled in one part of the process and that one skill is really pretty narrow. Like can you really call yourself a carpenter if all you can do is set forms? An experienced non-union concrete worker can usually do all 3 of those things.Or what about electricians? Half of the union electricians wouldn't even know how to wire a 3-way switch because all they do is bend conduit and pull wires. Are they really electricians or just laborers?
i wanted to change the gas spring of my office chair and have a really hard time to remove the upper part from the lower part of the chair. i saw a video where a dude just hammers it from the top with a steel rod but that is difficult in my case because it gets blocked be the metal thin that hold the backrest. so i thought i could use a wrench that has a good form to press on to it from the side. but because the spring has a button, which i cant press down anymore, it is stuckedstill no success when i hammer it, so did i fucked up every possible way to remove the spring of any othere ideas how i can remove it from the bottom side? thanks
>>2789349if you are throwing out the old cylinder you can pipe wrench it, i guess
>>2789353yeah i tried the pipewrench as well, nothing it just damages the metal outside of the cyclinder
just buy a new one u fuggin moron
>>2789360i need the money for drugs and the chair costed 300 buck 8years ago.
got it not with the pipe wrench. thanks for the video. was quite rusty inside. have a fun weekend everybody
Hello,I recently had a locksmith come to my house to open an older gun safe that I had and forgot the combination to. He drilled a small hole about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch wide through the door and unlocked it with a borescope. Nothing of particular interest was inside, but now I have a nice safe with hole on the door next to the dial. Is there anyway I can patch up or remedy the hole to at least make it look like nothing happened to it? I was thinking some kind of industrial putty and maybe smoothing over it before repainting.
>>2789460kek that proves nothing except that you are not only a samefag but a newfag as well. you got busted, get over it.
>>2789460>screenshots and posts itWhy?
>>2789460suck a bag of dicks
>>2787579weld a plate over the hole.done in 5 minutes
You could put a bolt in the backside of the door to prevent future breaking if you are really worried. And a magnet on the front to cover the hole. It'll probably be less obtrusive than anything else as no safe should be a show piece.
Use this thread to ask questions you think don't require a thread of their own.The old thread no longer bumps: >>2780104If you didn't get a response in the old thread, feel free to ask again here.
>>2789543>would this work for a watch design?There's a certain way to find out.Build it and see if it works.
>>2785345new thread >>2789553
>>2789543I don't really understand the point of the mechanism. Basically anything you would want to do with a watch has already been done by someone smarter than you a few hundred years ago. I assume the complication is intended to be a dead minutes hand, which is far easier to accomplish than your bizarre design. Stop2Go could be adapted fairly trivially. How are you stopping the blue rod from smashing the grey rod into oblivion when you raise the purple cog? Does it run along a secondary track straight up with the external handle? How does it not fall down that track while rotating down?
>>2789520I think it's fine if you make the joke, when most people walk into a store they just want to buy shit and leave. Unfortunately some people are likely to ask for an explanation and you might get tired of repeating the same explanation over and over.
Is there such a thing as "good" or "best" crow bars or are they all the same god damn thing? Thinking I should throw one in my trunk for reasons but I'd rather pay more for a better one that won't bend or deform or whatever as easily, if such a crow bar exists

>>2763719I'm in Finland and all houses are required to have like 30cm of foam. Houses in the countryside are also wood famed. Idk why people here say that's an American thing.>>2783654That's why we're also required to have forced air ventilation running 24/7 with heat exchangers nowadays. It makes winters a dry hell in new apartments. Indoor humidity hovers around 10% on very cold days. But I guess its better than mold.
>>2787461>Idk why people here say that's an American thingpicrel
>>2789397This person smugly wrote this from Europe and then turns around and writers about how they have no more land to build on and wonder why a block house costs $1mil
>>2763701Depends on the foam. Some foam is shit, while other foam is practically armor. I'd be fine with some sorts.
I have seen several videos of people using them. also looked into buying them online. at $300 and up, I just decided I would build one.

Boring ass domestic question I could just google.What's the best most cheapest handheld vacuum?
>>2787986Whichever one goes with the battery format you have selected.
>>2787986I have the 18V Makita and it's good. Costs about $20 + ~$20 for a battery. Of course you also have to buy a charger if you don't have Makita tools, then it's another $50 and it's not worth it anymore.
>>2787986>What's the best most cheapest handheld vacuum?there isn't one.cheap will be crap.best will be expensive.
>>2788000As to I and I use it daily. I collect corded shop vacs then post them anywhere I expect to vacuum but that little fucker is insanely handy.If you 3D print the nozzles, dust collectors for drilling and much more deserve a look.
>>2787986doesn't matter. they literally all come from the same chink factory
I have an old ass vacuum breaker on my hose bib, probably been there 15-20 years, way before I bought the house. it's leaking water from the top so I want to get it off. I took a pair of locking pliars to it, but I can't seem to get it off. I can turn it, and I have turned it in the off direction around 3 revolutions but it's SO hard, I have to put my body weight onto the wrench. I'm afraid I'm going to break my damn hose bib trying to get it off. any advice? are they threaded backwards and I'm tightening the shit out of it? so weird.
>>2786766like I said here >>2786763 water is gay.

>>2786758>>2786711That one looks shitty because you have no goddamn pipe. Go in and cut that bitch off and add some extra pipe so when the next ball valve fails and is seized in place 15 years down the line, you can chop it off and easily add a new one from the outside. Your future self will love you.>>2786766You don’t like swapping plumbing parts under pressure like a real man?>>2786764That shit looks like it’s buried in the bricks.
>>2786758>it's leaking from the valve now,Replace the rubber parts inside. A flat rubber washer stops leaks coming out the hose area, an o ring stops leaks coming out the handle. Turn off the water before doing this.
>>2786985>Go in and cut that bitch off and add some extra pipe so when the next ball valve fails and is seized in place 15 years down the line, you can chop it off and easily add a new one from the outside. Your future self will love you.I do and it works gloriously. I also add gate valves if not previously present so I can isolate subsections of my home and shops for damage control without needing to shut down my system.
Apparently in the frontier days settlers couldn't find enough timber or stone to make homes in Nebraska so they developed a method for building houses that involved covering rectangular straw bales with lime plaster From what I read, the straw itself acts itself as an insulator and a surface through which the hardened lime cast forms into solid loadbearing walls around the bale. Straw itself does not degrade like hay and if done properly it should be next to impossible to set on fire due to the fire-retardant properties of lime plaster
>>2789260>the hardened lime cast forms into solid loadbearing wallsWrong. The lime layer is only a few mm thick. There is usually a clay layer between the lime and straw, and in theory, you could make it thick enough to bear weight - but then you'd have a ~20cm clay wall, and at that point, you might as well use bricks.What actually bears the weight are the straw bales. You have to assume a lot of compression though. The retards who actually try to build with only straw usually preload it with ratchet straps attached to boards on top of the straw and buy special, highly compressed bales, but even so, those buildings tend to fail after a few years.If you want to do things properly, you need a wood frame capable of supporting the floors and the roof, with the straw, clay and lime only there for filling the gaps and insulating. That way, you can use cheap standard bales (or even ones not suitable for animals) and your house might last centuries if the climate's right.
>>2789260mouse motel
>>2789260As someone who has done flat roofing work on strawmat decks and/or with straw insulated parapets, it 100% does light on fire extremely easily...
>>2789260cool it with the antisemitism
You can stack square bales into a basic survival shelter really easy. Cover it with a tarp and you'll live through the winter. But >>2789363 is correct, it's hard to keep mice out
>>2786306That doesn’t look bad. My 2¢- that’s the older brushed angle grinder, it’s not one of their higher end models. It’s still a DeWalt so I’m sure it’s fine.That super stubby impact driver and 5.0 battery is $149. But I have also seen the last gen brushless impact driver plus a smaller battery for $99, and the Atomic hammer drill + impact driver kit and 2x small batteries for $149-$199 a lot.That 5.0Ah battery will be great on the angle grinder, but quite large on the impact driver, especially if you’re not running 3” screws all day long. It will work fine, but messes with my OCD.
>>2786319So I'm basically paying $80 for the angle grinder, which I just found for $100 on its own. Not really that great; might as well just get the stubby on its own. I got scammed by the g*mans on a cordless drill so I don't really need the hammer drill + impact driver kit.
>>2786504Like I said, it’s not bad. I’m sure the angle grinder is straight, but certain people are really picky on grinder switch style and power and that one isn’t the latest and greatest XR model or anything.
>>2785945>No, mattias wandal (woodgears) on youtube already busted the fact that dewalt, by design, drains one battery out of the whole pack thus ruining the whole pack.wut? that is not how batteries work
Bought my drill for 70 bucks, came with 2 1.5Ah batteries and a charger. Go to buy more batteries, it's 50 bucks just for 2 batteries. These companies are giving away the drills for practically free to hook you into their battery scam, it's printer ink level kikery going on in the cordless tool business right now.
Recently shortened a front driveshaft for my 2000 F-350 with the V10 and manual transmission. Could find front driveshafts for automatic transmissions all day long for sub $200 while the proper one for my manual transmission was anywhere from $600-1000. So a little bit of choppy choppy, some indicating in, and welding, and I have the right length driveshaft and saved myself some coin. The reason for the thread is once I cut the end off to shorten the tube I found this rolled up cardboard inside. What is the reasoning for this? Is it supposed to help dampen harmonic resonance or was it in there for some other reason? I have shortened several driveshafts and this is the first time I have ever encountered rolled up cardboard in the tube. I ended up with about 0.07 thousandths of runout at the end. Had do do some tacking, then indicating, cut a tack, tap it in, re-indicate, etc. for a bit to get er all nice and true, but it runs smooth as silk at 70 down the highway now, whereas before it was bad at 20mph. The old center ball on the double cardan was completely wallered out and even the splines on the slip yoke were getting worn and sloppy.
