I should add I'm doing this on a plastic case.

Help please, I tried twisting at those two locations but it just keeps going in circles.

Is this bait?

The majority of P.I. work is collecting evidence of marital infidelity and testifying in court along with these records. You'll be using video and audio recordings mostly. You'll need to be able to inconspicuously tail cars and people and do boring 12 hour+ stakeouts without leaving your vehicle. You cannot break the law so you need to be aware of those and you usually need a license because you are going to have the cops called on you sometimes. They will arrest you for stalking people if you don't. Your evidence may be inadmissible in court without a license. You want to have a good billing service so you don't get screwed, and a lawyer on retainer in case you get in trouble. You'll often be using state arrest records and phone number/address finding subscription services. Procedures will vary. Gonna have to research. Look up P.I. organizations where you are and try to talk to them. Unless you're already investigation/court-savvy (as in ex-cop, etc.) I strongly suggest working for an established investigator for a while first.

That said, it seems pretty fun. I've helped a friend on a couple tailing/stakeout cases and it was kinda cool. We were trying to verify the identity of a slumlord for some kind of lawsuit.

>>1142687
We got him, btw. Yay!

>>1142687
This is great, thank you. What are some subscription services.

Either thru sewing to tighten it up, or keep dummy cards in there to take up the slack.

Stop getting cards

your wallets partner count is too high and its all used up and won't ever fit correctly. toss it

print out some internet porn model's set and jack it
save for my retirement

>>1142605
design a business card and print 50x front and 50x back

find >>>/hr/ art
use program to split into 4x6 squares
order prints
assemble picture in frame

it'll kill some mold, but not enough to be worthwhile.

Look into dehumidifiers as well

>>1142612
My house is broken down in the coldest windiest climate in the world. If this place gets any less humid my skin might flake off. It's just the roof leaks like fucking crazy.

>>1142585
Fuck yea. No pics but dude had an maga hat with freadomneagles and flags and shit and said fuckbliberals on it. I gotta get me some

They measure 4" x 3.5" x 1.5".
Any idea where I can find some like this?

those look vintage, anon
nowadays electronic components boxes are made of corrugated cardboard

>>1142548
Maybe cigar boxes would be a viable alternative?

Unless you know how to sweat a pipe you'll have to call a plumber.

>inb4 telling how to do it

You could burn your house down.

>>1142521

Give the dude some credit, my dad taught me how to do it when I was like 13 and I never burnt a house down, I'm fairly sure a grown man with access to the internet can figure it out fairly safety.

There are plenty of solutions that don't involve sweating. They have slip connectors for copper pipes, either a double slip or slip to thread. You just need to go down to your local hardware store, and ask someone about repairing copper pipes without sweating. Relatively easy, even for someone that isn't a plumber

Pic related is kind a what I have in mind.
How or where would I start in my situation.

I guess the general workplan would be this:
*Draw some blueprints/sketches
*Clean up and sort
*Lay the foundation
*Make a wireframe
*Build the walls
*Finish with roof

Anything I am missing?
I just thought of all this about 1 hour a go when I noticed how much crap I have that needs to be put to good use.

Looks like a pile of garbage from a hoarder. You don't have enough of anything to build something and if you did you'd spend more time dicking around than just going to the store and buying framing lumber and sheathing.

Yes it is.
>you'd spend more time dicking around
That is part of the fun of /diy/
>than just going to the store and buying.
My budget is 10 dollar. Why else would I come to /diy/?

I am pretty sure I have enough material to build something useful. Even if it becomes a simple shanty or shack.

This is the typical example of a retard blaming his lack of skill on whatever he's working with. I wouldn't be surprised if you tightened them down with some channel locks and broke the tapered o ring.

>>1142480
of course not, plastic threads are usually always hand tighten

it doesn't take any skill to put the stupid things together, which is the reason it's so prone to leaking

Here's a bag that I've been slowly working on.

This is how the exact same crochet pattern looks rightside out.

>>1142388
It looks like a penis sock

If you can, I recommend crocheting around an object. It helps you in two ways

1.) it acts as a guide and holds your piece in place.
2.) it maintains the shape that you want.

Crocheting around this baseball bat, for example, was very easy and for that "penis sock" in my OP image I crocheted around a wooden closet rod. Weaving it around the rod tightly kept it that shape the entire time, so when I slid it off it stayed that way.

If you don't crochet around an object, you have to constantly tug at it and reshape it yourself otherwise it'll just do its own thing.

I received the baseball bat as a gift years ago and have never actually taken it outside to play with. One of these days I want to just start whacking balls with it and see how long my crochet holds up before it starts tearing off.

It'll be interesting to see how it holds up in 10-20 years. And I have to wonder if it would actually offer any benefits over premade foam molds.

Also lol at the back of the fridge right up against a window.

There are a bunch of ways to drive down the costs of housing and I think that this is definitely in the step in the right direction. Automating the construction of housing is going to be a boon.

I think utilizing materials on the property is the way to go as well when it comes to what the house is made out of. People in South America, for example, buy brick making machines and they mix rocks with the clay that is already in the ground they stand on to create the bricks for their own house.

I don't want to say that people should be entitled to owning a home, but I think having your own home is the most important thing to have in life.

How do they get the robot out of the house once it's built? Alternatively if the robot doesn't put the roof on itself (which it probably can't), do they have prefab roofs or another robot or do they have to get real people in to do those?

Insulated blackout curtains on all windows.

Switch to LED bulbs (incandescents put out 95% heat, plus you save on electric).

Check all weatherstripping.

Add insulation in the attic.

Get a programmable thermostat.

Get an insulating blanket for your water heater.

Once upon a time you could just open all the windows and enjoy a breeze but the lack of windows in modern houses does not allow for good crossbreezes.

>>1142307
Hang shading outside the house, especially over the windows. There are a million ways. Awnings are popular.

Close your blinds/curtains during the day. Not all blinds are equal. Google it.

Whole house fans really help cool the house down once the cooler evening temps set in.

Attic fans, on the other hand, generally hurt as much as they help. Passive attic ventilation (unless you have a sealed attic) is very important, though.

As is insulation. Adding some to your attic helps year round.

Place large furniture items (bookcases, dressers, etc) against outside walls. They act as extra insulation. Built-in bookshelves especially.

>>1142307
What kind of heating and cooling do you currently have?

Route it out of a thin sheet of wood and back light it?

>>1142289
>Cut pieces out of material of your choosing
>Mount material of your choosing with single peg of some sort in the middle of the piece
>Run led lighting on the backside of the piece around the edges, but far enough from edges that you can't see it
>Run wiring for led down side of peg it's mounted on and through whatever you mount the entire piece on
>Easy backlit raised logo

Etched plexiglass or acrylic?

If so get a good dremel. Adjustable speed is key. Like not hi lo medium i mean 10 settings or variable knob. Use a practice piece to get a "feel" for it and have a plan to hide fuck ups. gently blow the shit out of your way as it scratches easy as fuck. Print out your shit, trace it, throw an smd led strip around it. Alpena (max) led are blinding and a good deal if you get 2 packs on amazon.

Really though i was onto something until all of the chads with snc and lazer machines caight on. Feels badman...
