Turn off power to pump.

Go buy a slip ring fix. Or use 4 90Degrees and put it back together.

Dont do this. When my grandfather was renovating the house I am currently in he evidently did not have any straight pipe.

Everthing is 90s.

It has gotten clogged a few times, first time grandpa fixed it with a slow flow basin. This worked fine for 20 years until when I moved in.

>90s errywhere
>small diameter pipe
>rusted too much to fit the snakes
>100ft snake wouldnt reach

Have started cutting out the 90s and going straight. Plumber I called in when I didnt have time the first time it happened told me he does work across three counties and asked if he could take pictures for his wall of shame.

This or for making big bee hair like was popular in the 80's in Baltimore.

Spring loaded fishing gaff. It should be an antique.

ice pick

when people started to rent those places out.

anon - wtf are you doing there, and, why?
its a cupboard under the stairs that hides a monstrous POS no fucker wants to see - now, leave the fuck well alone, and go produce some offspring or something.

Replace if you don't like the paint. You don't have the patience for what you're trying.

Dunno if you've been seeing this but Philly is going through a massive upheaval of horrible eyesores that are being called modern architecture.

>>dat triple texture facade
>>dat not even remotely blending in with the surroundings

At least it isnt shipping containers.


Phily has an intermodal port. One or two trippers would be very cheap there.


Personally , i like arts and craft style, Italian revival, and brutalist.

I'm kind of sick of seeing 50 TV's displaying pointless shit when I walk into an establishment. Bonus points when the company/building brags about how "green" they are when they leave the 50 TV's on 24/7.

I suggest using gold instead of notes. Holds value much better. Other than that, it really depends on how long you want to keep them in the ground.

>>1140165
This!

That way I can find it much easier using a metal detector!

>>1140161
Put bank notes in ziploc baggie, baggie into plastic case like a tool kit. Maybe a bit of marine silicone sealant applied around lid seam?

I don't think that motor won't be enough, how many horses does it put to the wheels? And you could try replacing the front wheel with a skid if that helps, but you'd have to make a wheeled sled to put on it to get up to speed on land.

>>1139300
This is ridiculous. You're not displacing much water at all, and you're heavy. You will sink.

You'd be better off with 2-4 drums lashed to the sides rather than pool noodles.

Youre going to have a lot of rolling resistance. Then when/if you get it up to speed, you brakes will have a lot of momentum to fight.

Craigslist, maybe. Paying a real state agent is the best you can do if you can contract a cheap one you can trust.

>>1138703
This. You might find property with existing tenants.

You're gonna go broke fixing it.

Not doubting your /diy/ skills but renovating takes a while, by that time you could've bought something decent and started renting it asap.

Nope, that's exactly what pic related was.

I would, but there is so much to look into.

1: Is it owned by someone?
2: Wear and Tear, damage.

Wear and Tear will be the major one because its going to cost a lot to fix plus the cost of getting supplies and material shipped to it.

>Trump
>South China sea

Yes there is.

Came here to say this as well.

1) Move far away from where you currently reside.
2) Get a heat pump, far more efficient to run.

Naw, I dig S FL, though agree out in country this particular thing would not be an issue.

Looks like I need a mini-split system, which is just a tiny version of what cools the house.

what happens if you dont do anything?

Picture the related, the type of frame clip I mean.

>>1140600
>How would I fixate the glass plate? I want it to be detachable so you can easily exchange the photos. I thought about the kind of clips you use to assemble frameless picture frames or clip frames. But they just usually go to a thickness of ~10mm, and tabletop and glass plate together are ~36mm.
Don't use clips, if the table is level the glass should stay easily, if you want a little more stay grab a hot glue gun, put a little dot of hot glue at each corner of the glass, let it dry on just the glass. The hot glue rubbery dots will act as little friction pads
>Can you put cups with hot beverages on glass plates? If not, are common coasters enough to keep the glass safe?
Yes. Common coasters are fine

But you don't want normal plate glass, go to your local Glasser and special order a tempered sheet the size of your table you alternatively can specify "furniture glass" but some glasser's don't recognize that distinction

Generally speaking furniture glass is just tempered glass, has decent thermal shock resistance etc.

Yup marketing wank. Like 3hp skilsaws on standard 120volt outlets.

You mean my 5.5HP shopvac which weights like 4 pounds isn't actually 5.5HP?

>>1140253
Well I mean its a 30 gallon air compressor. Didn't think it was out of the realm of possibility.

Plus its from devilbiss so I wasn't going to immediately conclude that they're just outright lying.

I'd try to salvage it, but I don't know much about carpets, anyway.

I wouldn't. The chemicals in urine and decomposition of shit would have broken down large amounts of fibers.

I think with today's phone systems, no.

>I think with today's phone systems, no.


I think you are right. It's all digital now.

But thanks for the retro, OP.
I forgot all about the blotto. We are probably on a list now... so fuck you for that.

Man, the old days were so much more fun and simpler, huh? I still remember when I was a kid, downloading sketchy .txt documents on WinMX and reading IRC chats for this kind of shit...

I thought I was a god after I made my first phone recorder using the VOX function of a handheld tape recorder and a chopped up headset...

your reservoir should be on your firewall, check if it's low would be the first thing, you'll probably have to bleed it if it has an airlock.

best to check that for leaks before you do anything else, it's pretty much gonna be that..

>>1139519
>my truck
that certainly narrows it down

>>1139519

That reeks of a fluid leak in the clutch hydraulics. As has been pointed out, check the clutch reservoir. If it's empty, odds are you had a leak and it dumped all the fluid out.

Just hope it isn't like mine, where it's a "sealed assembly" and almost impossible to do anything with.
