Generally I'll have the missus bend over on the bed and project her bottom skyward. However if your a faggot you could probably just do that bit yourself m8

waterproof duct tape
>not even kidding
got a shitload of those repair kits (with use by date older than God - don't ask) INSTRUCTIONS SAYS:
Leave for 12 hours to dry (you correct enough)
EXCEPT in emergency, fine to use straight away.
Repair kits still probably the best things to use, seeing as how designed for this purpose, and all.

Well, if you believe the flextape infomericals/brain washing sessions/ it stick when wet.

When mine was like that I just moved the furniture around periodically until the whole carpet had a cool pattern.

That doesn't exactly work when you're selling the house.

pro tip- buy a super nice shampoo vacuum from walmart. It comes with cleaner but maybe buy 1 more. Use it to clean your bong water filth. Return it to walmart and say it leaks. If they ask about the cleaner that came with it, you used it obviously and it leaked.

>detect if a 240vac device is working.

To detect presence of 240 vac is easy with a relay that pulls a pin low when power is present. But to detect proper operation something like your pressure sensor or an air flow sensor would be better. You could make a homemade switch that dangles in the air flow and is blown shut when air flow is present.

>is blown shut when air flow is present.

On second thought it would be easier and more reliable to use gravity to close the contacts and have the air flow open them. Just some sort of lightweight flapper that doesn't restrict the flow very much.

Dafuq you talking about? Just use an optoisolator, you don't even need an arduino.
Use a bridge rectifier and a capacitor to smooth the AC signal to avoid rattling.

3d print some fake ones. Or even make real ones. Nobody will know that they are made of plastic if you paint them well.

>>1219861
And a fake one will do something about your keyboard and equivalent?

You'd spend more than $50 in time, paint, materials and effort to make a convincing fake, you may as well just stop being so fucking poor and buy one.

>>1219870
>equivalent
Equipment. Fuck you auto correct.

>>1219836
Do a little afro engineering and see what happens

>>1219839
That would require money and effort that I don't want to waste on something that won't work

>>1219836
I'm going to assume that you have a 4 stroke engine?

That's pretty typical. Plenty of large dots of adhesive. You could use a rail on the bottom and top/sides if you want it to be removable.

>but then again I assume that's what 90% of this board is about

Only because we are a magnet for brain dead cocksmokers like you. Now go and fucking google it faggot. Tonnes of resources out there.

Put a frame on it. Attach the frame to the wall by securing it to the studs.

She's pretty fucked mate. Its going to take a long time to get it back to polished. If you had some very specific tools like a Dynabrade or a railing polisher belt sander it would be easier but I think you are kinda stuck. I'd get the bitch blasted and ceramic coated.

Bead blast then polish.

>>1219787
>>1219786
Hoping i wasnt going to have to take it anywhere to get blasted. Ill mount it as is if this is the case though i didnt pay enough for it to spend real money on making it look nice. Might try a brass wheel on an angle grinder and see if that can cut through it easier.

You do not own this, fuck off,

why gut this house? it's beautiful as-is.

>>1219633
I own several properties and I remember a friend in the business trying this. If you do it, for goodness sake hire a structural engineer and/or a licensed contractor to do it/verify your work. He hired a guy without checking his credentials on a whim and the guy installed it improperly and a good wind caused the new roof to collapse and kill the contractor. Dude wasn't bonded/insured so my bud is in hot water trying to get out of the market asap.

Just be safe.

>>1219605
You will get uneven coating, ruin the glasses, and probably damage your eyes if you insist wearing them.

>>1219606

Why do you say that?
They will be dry so its not like theyd still have fumes.

>>1219605
fingernail polish is specifically made to be easily cleanable
not a good choice
I tried it many times, it won't last on surfaces that are actively used

could it be done with gasoline power? like that guy who was going to use a motorcycle engine? It seems that there's no inherent limit to drone capacity in terms of load or flight time; look at a sky crane and use your imagination.

it seems that /diy/ has too many people who just don't think like pros anymore.

...you're...kidding, right...?

>>1219437
I hope you're sitting, this is going to be riveting.


A second wrench of the same size.

>>1219440

I've always wondered the same thing and I've been wrenching for years. Why would you need two wrenches for one bolt?

Most of the automotive repair I've seen either has the other part welded, restrained, or the threads are machined into the engine block or whatever.

>>1218963
Use poles.

The tarp will go to shit before the paracord will. So, get something better than a tarp?

Build a pergola

Please respond

Keep it contianed to the correct thread please.

>>1218761
sorry

>>1218743

did you try reading the manual, or googling the fixture model or something to find it online and look for info? no, you didnt. thats why you are here. DIY means doing it yourself unless you have exhausted all possibilities THEN ask for help. now, run along junior and google your way to an answer

>>1218743

Does any part of it unscrew? Can you get a higher resolution picture?

>>1218743
Just unscrew them.
