Drywall retard here, having trouble understanding the different finishing levels. At the bare minimum the panel seams and screws would get taped and mudded, and sanded down. At this point, my understanding is you could just prime and paint the exposed drywall directly. Alternatively you can go to a higher level by skim coating the wall. If so what's the benefit of skim coating?

Next question: if you do skim coat, and want white walls, could you just leave it as-is and use the mud's natural color or do you have to paint?

I'd only skim coat if you have a lot of uneven surface area, otherwise I'd say you're wasting your time and money. Sand it down till flat and smooth, primer and paint and be done with it.

>primer and paint and be done with it.

Flat latex wall paint does not require a primer when going on joint compound (mud). As a matter of fact, if you have some left over flat wall paint and the color is similar to the final wall color, it is an excellent way to use it when doing new construction, as a first coat over the sheetrock and mud.

Most latex paints of any type adhere to mud, but satin and eggshell wall paint needs a coat of something else on the mud for their sheen to look correct; primer or flat wall paint will suffice. The only latex paint I've encountered that had an issue was the old Duron Plasticcoat or whatever it was called; you could peel it off of mud in sheets.

You're not going to get any better than the plain factory finish, only thing skim coating would do is add the potential of human error.
Skim coating is more of trying to go over stuff that looks shitty but you don't want to tear out, rather than something you do after putting in new stuff.

[Anonymous No.1760103]

Skim coat is only needed for smooth or glossy finish with light being cast tangentially to the surface.

I did a level 5 (skim coat) finish on my kitchen ceiling because I was going with a gloss finish to make a science lab sort of vibe. With a good concealing primer and a flat or eggshell paint you don't need a slim coat.

Is this a hot water heater?

[Anonymous No.1760177]

The reality of the matter is as a fire barrier it requires all joints to taped and mudded. Anything after that is a preference. If it's a garage and u don't give a shit what it looks like tape and mud it, you are not required to paint it however you always want to.

After that you start floating it out to get closer and closer to perfection.

A skim coats purpose is to cover exposed paper with mud so that it is the same texture as the mudded joints, which allows it to take primer and paint evenly. Skim coating is not for hiding imperfections. Imperfections are removed in the floating steps. As an added bonus for skimming, if u do it well you can skip sanding. Sanding will obviously make it look better,but there is so much dust it's absurd.

I'm trying to wire up a new hot water heater. I ran the wires to the breaker panel, but it's not heating. I'm getting 120V on each of the hot wires, but if I put my multimeter from one hot to the other, instead of 240V I'm only getting 1 volt.

I traced it back to the breaker, and tried replacing the circuit breaker, but get the same thing. I get 240V on the two hot wires coming in from outside so 240 is definitely coming into the box. Pic related is the different voltage readings different places in the box (the new looking breaker on the left side is my breaker).

Just land your two hot wires on each screw of the breaker, neutral on the neutral/ground bar assuming this is the main panel and ground of ground bar, check your connections on the water heater and make sure they are torqued properly.

[Anonymous No.1760625]

>>1760612
Also make sure the breaker is fully seated, sometimes they don’t sit down all the way if the breaker isnt the same brand as the panel. Should be 110v per side if your testing between a screw on the breaker and a ground

[Anonymous No.1760627]

>>1760612
You should be getting 1v or less between the two hots on the breaker because when you test voltage you are testing the difference between the two probes. They are both getting 110v so the measurement between the two should be minimal, same with the bus bar if that’s how you’re testing it

[Anonymous No.1760631]

Aren't they supposed to be 120V each phase, but the two phases combine to be 240V? Or am I misunderstanding line electricity? I do get 240 between the two hot wires coming into the breaker box.

I'm really dumb with math and would like clarification on this problem.
I have a surface with 4 1/8" holes drilled into it. I would like to know the equivalent surface area and drill size of those 4 in one hole. If I did the math correctly the equivalent surface area of four 1/8" holes should be one 1/4" hole. Am I correct? It's not as simple as just adding or multiplying the 4 holes together correct?

Yes the area of four 1/8" added together to find the equivalent area of a single hole.
So I found surface area of a single 1/8" hole and multiplied that by 4. Then found the surface area of one 1/4" hole and it was the same as 4 1/8" holes. Just wondering if I am doing this correctly. Because one could think that you could just take 1/8×4 but that would be 1/2 hole with a larger surface area.

Retard here, I've got into a situation where I need to drill a straight hole into an angled piece of wood. Pic related is the setup I tried, but when I started drilling it made a very loud, high pitched squealing sound so I had to stop. If I get proper ear protection should I just continue like this or is this a sign that something's going to break or explode or something?

For the picture, dark brown is the piece that needs the hole (in red). Light brown is a guide piece with an already drilled hole (in green). Blue is a buffer between the piece and the clamp so it doesn't get damaged.

[Anonymous No.1761128]

>>1761118
It should work. Make sure that you have clamping pressure directly on both pieces, rather than relying on the "buffer" pieces to transfer the clamping force. The squealing is probably from a tight fit for the bit in the guide piece. Perhaps the bit is dull, and it didn't cut the edges cleanly, leaving some wood fibers that were smooshed to the sides. It will cause more resistance and heating than it should, but that's probably not a problem. Wood is rather forgiving as materials go, and it will scorch before the heat damages the bit itself. You can clean up the hole a little by running the bit through from the other side.

[Anonymous No.1761145]

>>1761118
You could have used a punch the same size or a bit smaller than the hole and kept it straight and punched a small divot deep enough to clear the angle which would guide the drill and avoid it slipping on the angle.

I'm thinking of making a marble gun. in these, the propellant is alcohol sprayed into a "combustion chamber" behind the projectile, which is then ignited. the pressure from the rapid burning of the alcohol pushes the marble at speeds high enough to dent plywood and kill small game. it's cheaper and much much quieter than firearms.

I want to make a higher-grade one than the flimsy ones I see all over instructables, blogs, etc. I'm thinking of using metal pipe, making a wood forend and stock, etc. the idea is to make it easier to load and fuel. where most builds require putting the marble in through the barrel, then spraying alcohol in, I would like a quicker process, preferably loading from the rear of the barrel and possibly pushing a button/pushing a lever to spray the proper amount of alcohol into the chamber. my main problem right now is how I would get the alcohol into aerosol form, behind the marble. I was considering small spray bottles, the kind perfume comes in, but I don't know how I would spray it into the chamber. does anyone have any ideas on how I could get this to work?

I was going to mention the Honda. If you’re going to spend $1000 on an inverter generator, how much more would a similar Honda be?

Biggest thing with the Champion, see if there are replacement parts. That’s the biggest thing with small engines. I think most of them are basically copies of better brands.

Predator inverters from HF are supposed to be good for the price too, but their warranties are dogshit and I have no idea about parts and repairs. Was at a food truck festival recently and the generators on each truck were like 2/3 Honda, 1/3 Predator, and a Ryobi.

Dual fuel will limit the selection a bit though.

What's the best way to go about it?
I have some basic soldering and electronics skill.
My idea is to use the existing wiring that goes to the the internal speakers and make a breakout connection from that. As far as the tv is concerned there's no external speakers connected.

My understanding is the device is supposed to flip on/off the 12V, not pass along the voltage from the thermocoupler.

They sent me an engrish manual that isn't very helpful:

Connect the power supply and equipment to supply power to the controller. At this time, the controller automatically performs relay on/off according to the setting! The output of the thermostat is a 20A relay, which satisfies various high-power loads, and connects the control circuit to supply power to the thermostat.

Regulations, code, inspections, etc. came about in the first world because, when people did dodgy stuff and people died from it, society decided that that wasn't an acceptable state of affairs. Hence regulatory oversight stuff that's supposed to ensure a minimum of safety/quality. Since the actual quality is what matters for safety and other performance metrics, doing without the oversight doesn't make any difference per se. It's just that allowing dodgy stuff means that occasionally things will fail, fall apart, and/or kill people. Of course, shitholes are largely as they are because their societies don't care to do the things needed to make non-shitholes. Want to try being the change you wish to see in the world, anon?

Woke up this morning to find the floor wet near my furnace. Opened the little room up to find a bunch of water all over the floor. Looks like the condensation pump went out a few days ago (it was totally full of water). I've mopped up what I can easily get to, but there's still pic related left behind the furnace. I can probably squeeze back there if I twist on my side, but I want to know if I need to bother. I'm running a dehumidifier, several fans, and heaters to try and get what I couldn't mop up.

How concerned should I be about this water back there? It's maybe 1-2 millimeters of water at the very most. I'd rather not crawl back there and I really don't want to hire someone to come out and clean all this up, but I also don't want mold growing back there.

For reference that wall you can see separates the little area the furnace is in from a carpeted basement main room. Water has gone under the wall and into the next room, but I've been soaking it all up with towels all day as well as running the aforementioned fans/heaters/dehumidifiers. Ignore the damprid. My roommate put that in there thinking it would help and I didn't really want to say anything about it.

Plywood is stronger, lighter, and more sag-resistant. Particle board is cheaper, and has a smoother surface more suited for veneers than cheaper plywood.

If you wire directly from the existing speakers you'll be creating an amplified output rather than line level, so you can't really connect it to an amplifier/av receiver. You could connect it to another set of speakers as long as you disconnect the original ones and match the impedance, but if you want to set it up properly as TV-->receiver-->speakers you have to make a breakout connection from where the audio signal originates in the TV before passing through the internal amplifier circuitry.

I started stripping down a GE fridge to replace a rusted out part (that takes icemelt from the evaporator and directs it to the drain), and I found fucking black mold all over the evaporator cover, which is mostly fucking styrofoam. See pic related.

So a couple questions.
1. How the fuck do I clean this? I thought about using bleach but my mom balked because she's afraid the vapors will persist and contaminate foods (she is super sensitive to foreign smells, etc. giving her butter an off-taste). I saw another recommendation from Sub Zero that they recommended using one part bleach to three parts water and cleaning with that.
2. I want to avoid replacing the evaporator cover. GE only sells the styrofoam as part of the complete unit, which includes two fans and a few molded plastic covers... lowest price I've found is fucking $200. Cheaper than a new fridge but we want to avoid that. But if I bleach up the foam is it going to impregnate the thing and leave the fridge stinking of bleach?

This is the second time in a month our pump/well has stopped providing water. Last time, the company we call for these problems came back and said the pressure switch failed, it was under warranty, and they replaced it no charge. Now that replacement failed and we're waiting on them to come back in the morning and take a look at it.

We don't have any really obvious problems with out plumbing that might cause this issue in my mind. One of the toilets in the house did have an issue with the tank constantly running, but I replaced the fill valve and other than a seeping leak, it works fine. It doesn't run nearly as much as it used to.

So, should I be prepped for these guys to hit me with some big charge or is it likely to be another warranty replacement/faulty installation?

Is it a bad idea to put the drill's jaws so high on the bit that they touch the threads, or was it possibly just a symptom of using bits on metal that may have not been designed for it? They were "titanium drill bits," but the box made no mention of applications. The brand new one did manage to drill one hole before it snapped, but the older one I had was only able to make craters.

Don’t go so far that the chuck is touching the cutting edges, they always end up a little wobbly like that.

If you’re not cutting extra hard metal like stainless, those Ti-coated bits should be fine as long as you follow a few rules: Center punch it to get a start, use sharp bits, work your way up from small sizes if you’re drilling larger holes, drill on slow speed, keep drill straight with even and firm pressure, keep it cool with cutting oil or whatever you have around. If you break a small bit or two, it’s not the end of the world, try to keep it straighter.

>>1768803
>>1768805
Oh and the whole thing about low speed and cutting fluid...

Metal will “work harden” so once you get it hot with a dull bit going high speed and then stop for a second, the bottom of that hole becomes hardened and becomes a bitch to cut through. This is why you make sure your bits are sharp and go on that low speed with firm force, ideally you want it so you’re getting consistent curls of metal coming out of the hole. It takes a little practice to git gud.

For most metals, you don’t need to go with expensive cobalt metal cutting bits, they are more brittle and will break way faster than HSS bits, those are best used in a drill press when dealing with stainless and hardened metals or going through thick cast iron.

Yes you need a center punch, however for something that small you would prefer a prick punch, it's really just a small center punch, you could use a center punch though. 7 bucks any store.

That metal is probably somewhat hard. Honestly and this is by no means a great practice but for just a one off hole I would center punch it and just go full speed with a tiny bit and only push a little.

When you center punch you want to do it on something solid, like a concrete floor or the anvil portion of a vice, or a real anvil if you got one, or a sledgehammer.

Your understanding is correct. However, if everything is seated/torqued properly you should be seeing 240 between those terminals. Unless of course both of those hot leads coming in are on the same leg of the phase. If that's your main panel and your utility hookup that would be really unlikely, but if it's a sub panel someone could have completely goofed when wiring it in. If both are on the same leg then you need to change that.

Like others have said, try checking voltage from each terminal to ground or neutral. If you get 120 on each of them but almost nothing between then it sounds like both are on the same leg.

An actual continuity feature is more of a luxury because it beeps and you can run through fuse boxes and circuit boards real fast without having to look down at the meter and waiting for the numbers to settle.

You're also required by law to get power, water, probably sewer and probably gas plumbed in too.

I wonder where the line is drawn. Surely it's legal to buy an empty plot and just sit there on the ground. But what if you put a shipping container there? What if you gut an old school bus and turn it into a living space and park it there? Can't physically run permanent plumbing pipes into a theoretically mobile vehicle.
How do they draw the line for "this is now a house, therefore you have to have all these utilities run to it by law"?

stupid question so don't judge.

I want to eventually buy and renovate my own house (improving poorfag hoping to eventually buy my own house). But I have zero practical experience or theoretical knowledge on how to do it. Where do I start?

Anyone have a solution for garbage in the work truck?
>inb4 passenger foot well
I drive a ‘15 super duty crew cab about 8hrs a day and end up accumulating a pile of garbage in the passenger side. I usually use the shop’s dumpster since my garbage at home is full by the time trash day comes and paying extra for the bags that dont fit in the can is dumb. Is there a bin that fits in the passenger side that holds more that a 5gal bucket? Rubbermade tubs either dont fit or are too small to really help since I only make it to the shop every 10 week days or so.

Additional: back seats are full. Made a table out of wood to hold all my tools so they’re more organized than throwing them all over the seats.

Well, it's likely that you could, but it would depend on the local laws of whichever state you'd be building in. The zoning restrictions on small houses, for example, vary from state to state and even city to city. You'll have to do some research for the location that's most lenient.

I need to weld a drain valve onto a 55 gallon drum. I've never welded before, what tools/equipment/materials do I need to do this (including to cut hole in barrel in the first place)?

Hole saw, stick welder, youtube videos, practice. Make sure whatever was in the drum won't catch fire or give off toxic fumes.

Any DIY metal foundry ideas? I want to scrap copper and turn it into bars for fun, but don't want to drop the dough for a 'Devil-Forge'.

>JB weld
JB Weld is a brand name for a company that manufactures epoxy. It has nothing to do with "welding."
Whether it would work for binding the drain valve onto the drum instead of actually welding it on, I can't personally say.

The King of Random has a few Youtube videos on how to make a small homemade foundry. I'm sure there are other such videos from other people as well.
I think it pretty much boils down to
>make bucket-shaped container out of something insulating and heat-resistant like plaster
>drill hole in side
>put torch hooked up to propane tank through hole
>put graphite crucible filled with metal into your new foundry

I wanna finally be a faggot and get a cordless drill. I respect a coworker's 18volt DeWalt because I've seen it take some abuse for years. Go to Lowes, They have 20volt. I don't want some shit that's going to be obsolete. What's a good cordless 1/2 inch that I can use as a hammer and leave in the rain and still find batteries in 30 years?

This is giving me a migraine.
I got this FPGA board as a Christmas gift and I really want to learn how to use it, so I installed Quartus 2 as instructed by a youtube video at le6Jo5DpLao and bought a "NOYITO" brand USB blaster and for some reason I can't get Quartus 2 to recognize it.
I've gotten Win7 and Win10 computers to recognize this device as an 'altera' usb blaster, I got the drivers installed, but no matter what the Quartus 2 programmer hardware setup doesn't display the USB blaster as an option.

What am I doing wrong?

nvm, a slightly newer version of Quartus got me going.

Electric retard here. I'm turning a pretty big upstairs room into a LAN room, however, I can't really run too many wires up thru the existing conduit, is there any way to do something like a 40 amp breaker with an appropriate sized wire at the circuit and turn it into a few 20 amp outlet plug shapes in the room so I can have all the computers on the same line without worrying about tripping them, along with a few small appliances like a mini fridge and desk lamps.
