Perhaps they live somewhere where shipping takes more than a day or two, or has no stores close by to buy a replacement.

>bong out of metal pipe, with nitrous cracker in the middle, and two levers. Idea was to take a hit of weed, close levers, nitrous charge it, then open up one lever having the nitrous shoot it into your lungs.

Every hit tasted like weed mixed with epoxy and bondo, and if you opened it too fast it would probably burst / freeze your lungs - but it never worked properly to begin with.

you missed the whole point.
the reason you drain your washing machine into the sink, is so you can take advantage of the garbage disposal to grind up the food leftovers that were left in the pockets of your laundry.

in your pic there's no disposal under the sink, so your drain is still going to get all clogged up with unground food

I duct taped mine to the pipe so there isn't a geyser of water. There's even an unblocked standpipe like 5 feet from its location and it would still blow out like that. Come to find out that it started blowing water up and out the stand pipe ON THE ROOF. I'm just glad it had its own drain and wasn't connected to everything else. The main problem turned out to be a crusted pipe somewhere out in the yard before it reached the trunk line. Who ever had installed the pipeline used thin wall pipe for 1 joint of the entire length and it was nearly flat, well U-shaped. We only discovered the problem when soapy water started coming out of the yard. Evidently, the snake just glided under the crushed section, but the crack was too small to let the washing machine water through fast enough. In the mean time before that got fixed, I duct taped a vacuum cleaner hose to the washer hose and snaked it out the hole in the wall for the dryer vent then into an clean out access for the french drain. I placed panty hose over the dryer exhaust during that time so it wouldn't get lint all over the room. That lasted a week before everything was fixed and returned to normal.

So, you may need to check your stand pipe and other pipes for blockages.

When I was a kid, I wanted a koi pond in my backyard. My dad said “Sure, go for it” without realizing it would cost $$$ for everything.

Spent all summer digging a big hole, then my parents got divorced and my mom wasn’t on board with the project, and spent the next 5 years slowly filling in the giant hole with topsoil and whatever yard waste.

I ruined a bunch of small electronics after trying to fix them. I only had my dads old soldering iron. The tip was as big as my pinky. I didn't have any flux. And I was working with really small horrible chink circuit boards and wires. I eventually bought a small soldering iron and some flux. It is so much easier when the solder actually flows and sticks to your wires. Being able to heat what you want is nice too.

Same sort of thing happened to me as a teen. I wanted to make a basement, but part way through the dig my parents got divorced and I had to live with my mom somewhere else and couldn't finish the job. It stormed enough to tear off the rain protection, a pond formed. Later it was stocked with sunfish. You could fish out the kitchen window. A 3 years later it was finally filled in with 6 dump truck loads of dirt. lol

Did this for my bday after I got “laid off” I didnt undercit the trim so I just tried to cut the LVF like a fucking mongoloid. My caulk jobs are always shitty. I shouldnt have even bothered with the vent bec there is no acess between the 1/2nd floor. It’s a shitty ballast light that takes too long to turn on. It was the only housing that would fit, even then it still doesnt. The towel rack guide was useless and kept being slightly off untill i made my own pilot holes. Never scribed the base boards so they come off the wall ever slightly. Good learning experince though

I can't get a picture of it because it's seal now, but I had some damage to outer paneling from a hail storm a few years back. Insurance didn't cover it because I don't have gutters (lol). Decided to replace the wood with fiber cement board to make the house brick (the house is mostly brick, only the kitchen had wood paneling, don't ask me). Once we got the wood paneling off, we found where the old termite infestation was and that the water damage had been creeping up the rest of the wood from outside, for probably years. Nothing had to be completely removed and none of it was load-bearing, but we had to sand out a bunch of the wood to clear the rot.

A gallon of rot stop/fungicides/etc, two treatments of wood hardener, 4 cans of bondo, and about 10 tubes of weather seal epoxy later, my walls are are in one piece and my electric bill ended up being noticeably lower since there's also insulation in there now.

Depends on what you consider "good"
If reading the country of origin on bearings and reading what type of plastic the case is made out of is "good" and "helpful" to whether its a worthwhile tool, then yeah its "good".

It's thick plastic (probably). It was a common choice couple of decades ago, as it was very cheap and easy to install.

I don't understand the issue. I've read tons of articles saying you can make cellars or underground bunkers out of shipping containers as long as you reinforce the top and put a retaining wall or cement on the sides.

I wouldn't use unreinforced concrete, and for the roof you'll need to make some trusses that extend at least a foot up or down to give it the strength to not bow in from the weight above it, be that concrete or soil. And at that point there's no reason to just ditch the shipping container and pick something that won't rust to shit and leak when in contact with wet earth or curing cement and is made to go underground. Like those large pipe sections, be they corrugated galvanised iron or concrete. Not to mention the fact that undamaged shipping containers aren't exactly cheap, especially if you want one and don't live next to a port.

this guy gets it
I don't understand the shipping container fad. You'll spend a couple grand on the container, a whack on freight or fuel, and another couple grand making it a serviceable space, or waste all your money by crushing it under tons of earth and sand. Doesn't help when you live up north and the freeze-thaw will destroy a lot of this stuff.
>hurr it's designed to withstand shipping it'll withstand freezing
Not if you drill holes in it, it won't. You gotta install HVAC so you don't suffocate, install water, install electrical, insulate the walls, etc.That's too many points of failure. I do not understand why people spend thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours turning a bar stool into an armoire. For the price, time, lifespan, and likelihood of being crushed to death, just do it right from the beginning and actually build a proper underground structure.

Think is started back in the early 2000's when some architects realized that at the time shipping container frames were cheaper and stronger than wood frames for homes. They'd cut out the side panels and build the house siding around the frames.
Of course then the cost of used shipping containers inflated and made wood frames cheaper again, and a bunch of DIY types forgot the part about cutting off the sides and tried to use them where support was needed.

It would be good if there was a sort of premade steel frame you could buy that fills this niche.

Broke a vac line in my 80s Impala while replacing the fuel filter, tried to tape it closed and ended up breaking the nearby t-junction of vac lines. I very carefully held the whole mess together with electrical tape, backed it with newspaper, and drowned it in spray plasti-dip.

It worked for months, but as I found out last week when checking my oil and seeing that the rubber had failed, it turns out the vac line system is completely unnecessary to the function of the car.

KEK.

Was snugging up valve cover bolts chasing an oil leak the other day and must have unhooked or busted a vac line.
