This is /diy/ retard asshole.

To be clear, the cut trace is 6, next to the SNK logo on the connector.

Best thread may be here: >>1698538 good luck!

>>1702571
Thanks, I'll try there.

Do you have access and ability to operate precision machinery? If you do, then you probably wouldn't be asking in 4channel :)

Get a caulking gun and fill every gap with silicone and you'll get that sucker completely waterproof. That or weld every seam and opening

>>1702536
this
make sure you put silicone around the opening lid too to fuck with the mailman

also how can I make use (profit?) of free water and electricity in general?

>>1702356
>free electricity

Replace the hand piece. Search for something like "5F hand shower"

You could also replace mixed with a thermostat one. If so much better you're gonna love taking showers.
Pic related just took it while taking a dump.

>>1702362

Agree, but we've been together for a while and I actually plan to marry her soon.

But let's go back to the topic.

>>1702364
>I agree
>But I'll continue to dishonor God and both our families while living in an apartment barely larger than a parking space.
Shameful.

Just put shelves everywhere and hang junk from your walls and ceiling.

>>1702353
As someone who lived in one
Id advise strongly against it
Its horrible.
The limited space fucks your mind, pisses you off. Dont do it

>>1702383
Just curious; how much did you pay per month for your cage?

If rental storage units are a thing in your country, get one.

>>1702317
It is just tile adhesive. The damaged wood is only a small part and easily fixed very cheaply.

The cracked tiles are your biggest problem.

>>1702321
So if I were to do it myself should I just cut out an outline of the subfloor along the tile, throw some extra framing against the joists and put plywood down? The subfloor is my biggest concern, I know how to lay tile and the city I live in has a lot of tile places, I'm sure I could find a close match

>>1702310
Who put tile on plywood? This is beyond Mexican.

>>1702323
Sounds like you're making extra work for yourself. Don't bother to fix it right it wasn't done right to begin with which is why it cracked so easily. Whether or not you fix it dude is going to try and keep your security deposit.

>>1702391
This.

Tile isn't to be installed over plywood, everyone knows this. His work is shit, and his washer had been leaking and his shit work failed for exactly the reason you aren't supposed to do that. It's not your problem. He needs to fix it.

>look for tool specs
>drill doesn't even have a torque spec
Even fucking Lidl provides a torque spec for their shitdrill. If for some reason you both need bad tools and extreme compactness, and don't mind paying a lot for it, then it's just the thing for you. But you can buy the same tools from Makita for the same money and they're not going to suck shit.

>>1702300
Bet not a single one of the tools works very well. Also kickstater is full of scams.

>>1702298
Look at those 1ah batteries. HAHAHA. I wouldn't even get this shit for my 1 year old daughter.

>>1702472
>daughter
I meant wife's son

>>1702298
But if I order now do I get a second DOER toolbox free?

>>1702177
Valves in question.
I have a bunch of packaged AC units for a cooling tower that aren't cooling or heating very well. Could be low on refridgant, could be the TXV, could be a clogged dryer, could be a lot of things, but they're not serviceable, so I'm trying to make them serviceable to figure out what needs to be done.

Yeah

>>1702149
>look guys! Am I fitting in yet?!

i tried some on my gutters. it worked so poorly that it forced me to replace the whole gutter.

so i guess it kind of worked in that the leak stopped.

>>1702146
Tried some on the bathtub. It works to an extent, but duct tape works better. Not worth it.

>>1702146
>even works in...!
>instantly stops...!
>super strong!
yeah OP ... never believe any item or person who tries this cheap salesmen shit

>>1702136

I know its vastly superior in every way when it starts with "American"

>0 is big
>00 is bigger
>not twice as big though....

Are there good reasons for this retardation, or is it just one of those things that we're not going bother to unlearn?

>>1702136
>>1702306
You're not an electrician or remotely skilled in the electrical trades so why do you care?

>>1702306
>>1702303
>>1702136
Stop being retarded. America doesn't just use the AWG system, we use kcmil as well and mcm. I don't understand why people shitpost their obsession with america.
As for the 0 system the people realized it was retarded when they got to four aught so they devised the kcmil system. All of this is standard in the industry so stop arguing about shit you don't know anything about. Fuck off white-collar LARPers you retards can't even get a CAD drawing right
t. leaf sparky

>>1702234

I did it because I wanted a drawing table but they're expensive as fuck so I just found some wardrobe door on the street, saw it to half and that's it.

>>1702182
Cute cows. How much do you get for one?

>>1702127
My wife wanted a big ass sewing table.
She wanted solid oak wood planks.
I rolled my eyes
She say the cost at HD. I laughed.

>>1702366
Went and got outlet flooring instead

We've since found a lumber yard, but this was a cheap alternative.

mud
smooth out
skim

sand
paint
this thread feels like deja vu

>>1702115
This to both.

>>1702113
Matching paint is a bitch, that's why you keep some extra on hand from when it was painted. That's just the tint. Modern paints don't yellow like the old kinds, you can put latex over a spot and in a few weeks you'd never even know. Old oil based you'd see til the room was repainted. Better just to repair the drywall, do your best to make it look good and then get ready to redo the room in a few years.

Have you tried the auto parts stores?
advanceautoparts.com
autozone.com
napaonline.com
oreillyauto.com

>>1702119

that would have been too easy. most people who come to /diy/ want everyone to hand feed them everything and give them all the answers without them doing any basic searching.

>>1702100
just use a LED and a resistor

>>1702111
Yeah have fun with that shipping cost

>>1702100
>packs
Pack of what 10 for 3$ or something?
You realise 99% of that cost is shipping it from China right? Buying 1 will cost exactly the same.
Craft/hobby shops sell rice grain bulbs like this for dolls house miniature lighting, it's the same shit 12 filament bulb, have a look there but I'm telling you, you wont save money.

>>1702062
I thought of that but doing red or blue.
>>1702236
I use a high quality dac/soundcard, a multimeter and loopback cable for calibration, and the ARTA/STEPS software. Caution has to be taken with the soundcard input but asides from that it's easy. As for the speakers, I'm not gonna sell these but I know what you mean which is why I'm asking. Most of my googling has returned a lot of matt black boxes or the 70's classic cheap veneer boxes with black speaker grills, which is boring and overdone. I was thinking vertical red/black stripes like this bike.

>>1702262
Yeah that looks good and has its own style.

If you could inlay the design, it would be great. There's a lot more curve to that bike where as you have hard lines. Adding deco feet is an easy touch.

>>1702262
but those lines are horizontal inless your poppin sik wheeleez breh

>>1702042
the design is the aesthetic portion. theyre fine. leave them alone.

>>1702280
Can't do inlays, have no machines to work this stuff so I'm stuck with paint sadly. Having 3 pine inlay stripes and staining them red and black would be pretty neat. Get color but also texture to break things up.
>>1702284
Fuckin word.
>>1702419
IDK man, I thought I would dig it but they look too plain. All the crap I bought is removable with soap and water and the boxes are coated in a semi gloss kitchen paint so I can go nuts and clean it off later.

Everyone. They all look like your pic.

Residential plumbers.

Get it done as fast and as cheap as possible.
" codes " are more like guidelines.
Cutting corners everywhere.

>>1702008

In the electrical field from worst to most prestigous

Solar
Residential
Underground / Traffic
Deck Work

Then service work, which is fixing up shit (old construction)

Then new construction
Commercial, usually EMT and Flex

Then all into itself would be industrial: motors, controls, stainless steel, rigid

tape the plate that came with the doorknob where you want, then smash it a few times with a sledgehammer. makes a perfect fit

>>1702396
Just looked up the Peter sellers video on knifewalls, I think I get it now.

>Mark rectangle with pencil
>Use utility knife to strike knifewalls a couple mm deep
>Use chisel to chop some wood out against the knifewalls
>Chisel out the rest of the waste wood

Thanks dudes, I'd never woodworked before, but I feel confident on this one now.

>>1702459

>>1702469
Thank you. Thank you so much.

>>1702086
it's a chisel when you don't have a chisel and all you need to do is make a 1/8" recess in a cheap pine door.

>>1702282
I might cut up some hdpe milk jugs. Don't know if I'll bother though. They're high enough where they're not always in my peripheral vision.

>>1702287
I have 3 x 50w cree leds for that. Getting on average 1.5g per watt.

Pic related. 2 red spectrum and one blue. These aren't the driverless chips but I don't see why you couldn't use them, some piece on yt have anyway.

>>1702506
I'd spelled it aluminium (Ireland) but I'd get shit for that too. Can't please everyone.

>>1702282
I'm thinking hdpe milk jug but don't known if I'll bother.

>>1702458
I've had these two 50w chips on this for about two years with no issues. The plate is only warm to the touch.
There's thermal paste on the back of all of these btw
