/diy/ - Do It Yourself

a big pallet

mmm, where have i seen this before?
>:^)

garage door fall down

build wall, keep mexicans out

PALLEt
PAraLLElogram

coincidence? no

you want to start with nice right angled shapes? perhaps you want soft, pampering diaper with attached fox tail for yiffing with friends, you pervert

then you have to hand fit everything because every gap is different and all existing planks are approx as straight as man who wears tight jeans and manbun, but is good practice, builds character

if you must pound each plank in with a mallet and then it fits tight and then you nail it, you are now doing 'ok'

>>1019830

Oh shit palletbro what are you doing

purpose is not to defeat entry but to make entry loud and asspain either deterring tyrone entirely or giving me time to remove basketball

>>1019836

This actually isn't bad, keep going

>>1019837
This is good, please more.

convenience of premade narrow shelves inside of wall but probably they get walled over

assembly is done via dowel peg into uprights which are anchored into concrete properly, so entire wall can be taken out in one piece or section by section when time for proper garage door or wall

all neighbors members of Home Owners Association, my house predates it

impotent rage at my remodeling choices fuels me

blue indicates dowels

you will notice that as each unit is mounted, it blocks over other dowels, so order must be followed if i take out one at a time

also some are impossible to dowel, used L brackets

used T15 star tip screws for maximum frustration of future home buyers or grandchildren if i never take this down

while demoing old shelves in garage, found this fuckery, clever slanted shelves for storage of things right? i think builder is not lazy shit, builds properly.

NO. THIS HAPPENS AS I TEAR DOWN. I SWEAR IT MUST HAVE BEEN MORE WORK TO GET THIS RIGHT THAN TO DO THE OTHER WAY. FUCK YOU WHOEVER DID THIS I BET YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE VERY CLEVER

>Was the demo house for a subdivision that went under
>Single story 4 bedroom 3 bath completely finished inside but no landscaping at all
>Marble & wood floors, granite counters, solar water heater and solar panels (this was back in the late 90s so super fancy)
>all the way at the back of the cul de sack, strait drive right up to the 3 car garage
>lot is wider in the rear than in the front, super huge back yard
>empty lots sell to another developer who divides the lots again and makes them smaller
>builds 2 story McMansions on them with barely any yard at all
>only 3 house styles, breaks up the tedium with different paint and roof shingle styles
>HoA formed. $120 a month for garbage pickup and 'street maintenance' (IE nothing)
>We pay $18 a month for garbage and zero for street maintenance as our section of 'street' is shared by 5 homes
>Dad never puts in any grass in the front of the house, Mom turns it into raised garden beds and vegetable garden
>Old lime green 1970s GMC Motorhome parked in driveway
>HoA puts a nastygram in the mailbox, Dad ignores it
>3 more come over the next month, all into the circular file
>Finally we get a knock on the door at 6:30 at night while we are eating dinner
>'President' and 'vice president' of HoA, they want to talk about the fines we haven't been paying and the front yard/driveway
>Dad invites them in, sits them down at the table, give me my plate and lets me eat while watching TV in the living room
>I eavesdrop, they say we have to plant 'approved' plants in the front yard and can't have a motor home parked in the driveway

>Dad is very cordial, lets them know that he wont be paying any fines or making any changes
>Causally drops that he is not a part of the HoA
>They say that it does not matter if he attends meetings or not, he has to abide by their rulings.
>Also that he owes 6 months in unpaid dues.
>Dad reiterates that he is 'not a part of the HoA' and that the rules do not apply to him
>They say he can't just leave the HoA because he doesn't like it
>He says that the house was built and sold to him in 1997, the HoA was not formed until 1999 when the new subdivision was created
>His home predates subdivision, he was not party to the creation of the HoA, therefor he is exempt
>VP goes home, gets HoA agreement, checkes applicable addresses
>Applies to houses numbered 201 through 236
>Our house is 237 as its the very end of the street
>Dad sends them on their way
>Few months later he paints only the front of the house and garage doors lime green and white, to match the motorhome

Stop stealing the name of my house, we took a vote and ratified it three years ago.

Used to live i na HOA, shit blows and old folks are always down your neck about stupid shit. Kudos to your Dad for understanding property rights and telling them to fuck off and even more Kudos for doing the "pink Flamingo" routine to the other HOA snobs.

>>1019972
I don't get it? Some fucktards can comer and tell you what plants you can plant in your yard? Where do you live? Soviet russia?

That sounds insane...

HOA are the worst kind of people and it harms communities more than they protect them

>>1020390
They're the same type of people who lose a kid to an alligator on a trip to Disney land.

>>1019830
Shoulda just plopped a nice shipping container there, then fill with dirt, then you have above ground bunker

>>1020444

no no

i use the container for to storing my pornographic books

>>1020395
HOAs exist to keep niggers out of your neighborhood. They usually do a good job of it.

>>1020468
This. If you have an HOA problem you should not fucking live in that community, so I don't.

My imitation crabmeat sex vat lives happily in my reefer truck body parked above my buried container raep dungeon/

>>1019823
excellent job OP!
inspired me.
Now, post dank photos from you shipping container bunker filled with that sweet, sweet crab meat.

HOAs exist for a reason. Basically, that the developer was stingy.

If a subdivision is built in a way that does not follow typical municipal street and building-layout codes, then there must be a way to pay for the maintenance that must be done, since no city will annex the roads and take over that task. HOAs are allowed to exist for this reason.

The reason that developers will build developments that are basically sub-standard is that they can save a lot of money by trimming these details.

HOA's are kinda bullshit IMO because they tie a private-party restriction to a piece of property that automatically transfers with a sale to another person, and even if that person isn't aware of it.
It's a lot like if you bought a used car and went driving on Sunday and got a ticket--because the guy you bought it from agreed with the car manufacturer that the car would never be driven on Sundays.

The whole concept of "private property" is based on the concept that if you own property then you get to determine its use, and no other private party has any say in that matter.
HOAs aren't the only example of private property rights being gutted in the US, but they are a very common one.

>>1019972
I'm kinda curious, if your dad sells the place to anyone else, would they still be excluded from the HOA too?

I'd also warn you that you are seriously shitting up this house.
It's kinda funny to piss off the HOA but it's still not a great idea. I dunno where you are but I would hope it's only a temporary measure.

If dad has to suddenly sell this place, that pallet wall is seriously going to hit him in the pocketbook. Most capable buyers would see that, wonder what else is fucked up, and immediately turn and walk away.

"He has no plans to sell?"
Yep, mebbe.
The big reason I've seen this is health issues.
Some heath issue develops and suddenly [someone] can't climb stairs, suddenly [someone] thinks its a good idea to live closer to a hospital. Suddenly [someone] needs a lot of money for medical bills....
Shit happens.

It almost looks like stairs? or they recycled a stepladder? .... :o

>>1023214

Nah, they just did a "clever" way to have angled shelves, but instead of having solid uprights and angled cleats to hold the shelf sections, the builder made the uprights out of multiple angle cut sections, so he could lay continuous angled shelves on them.

Kinda clever, but was a bitch to disassemble, and was clearly more work than just doing it right.

There are two houses with two anons in this thread. One has a temporary wall built out of pallet wood where the garage door once was, to keep out roving mexicans.

The other is lime green and keeps out roving HOA inspectors.
