There are no magic chemicals that make rust melt off metal.

You can do it very slowly with some chemicals, (soaking overnight) but you'd also have to do some minor mechanical removal. You might simply be looking at replacement for cost effectiveness.

Hmm, is there anything i would be able to put in a marker or bottle and draw it on?

Is this bait, or do you actually live like this?

Countersink drywall screws into the top of the jamb. Be sure not to putty the hole, it will take away from the look you're going for in the rest of the house

demount (remove door from hinges)
chop into firewood using underside of hand
leave entrance open, someone may sneak in and clean the place
ps - I think your cat maybe found a crowbar/badly attached plywood sheet prying implement and fucked off. Just in case you were wondering, or anything.

Isn't there just a specific vibration motor in there?

Sorry, I meant ultrasonic cleaner solution.

>>1197541
you just use any cleaner for whatever material, it doesn't have to be magic ultrasonic fluid

depends what kind of /diy/ you wanna do

>woodworking
make a jewelry box for your mum or gf, or a coffee table for your future apartment/housing/whatever. both are hard to really fuck up and help you get used to the basics of working with tree carcass

>metalworking
if you find some copper or tin sheet then make one of those bent metal roses, youll learn how to layout designs and cut/punch metal, plus a bit of brazing/soldering

>electronics
led circuits are cheap and ez, dick around with them while you learn p=iv and v=ir and all that shit. after that you can venture into voltage regulators and op amps and make your own relatively simple usb chargers or pocket amplifiers or whatever

this is all the shit i did in high school when the diy bug bit me. just remember you will absolutely find ways to fuck up while youre learning, dont let it discourage you

if youre interested in specific disciplines then i can drop more project ideas

Go get a circular saw (must be corded and preferably makita or skil) and make some saw horses.

After that make a workbench, then some tool holders. Fix shit around your house that needs fixing, pick up tools as you go. By the time you're 21 youll be a diy master.

The case is aluminium and the foam has been stuck on with some kind of adhesive

Cheers

Acetone should do it but it will get messy

UPDATE, I got a samsung SS microwave and installed it. No vent though... just blows into the bottom of the cabinets.

I don't know about in video games. It was likely because some artistic type thought it looked good.

Picture related is a real example, though. The Shakers did it because old homes were draughty as fuck. The curtains cut down on the draughts and helped insulate the walls a bit more in the winter.

That does help. Thanks.

What makes you think it's a curtain? It could be a blanket drying by the fire. Or, ya know, you could hit up the guy who made the image and ask him, his name is right fucking there..

are you looking for an insulated or AC cooled md h- I mean venetian plaster?

>>1202663
both if possible , insulated+ac hut would be best would it not?

Unplug it ?

If the USB is only for power (?) power it from a USB mains adapter/hub/device that does not contain sensitive information. Plugging in permanently powered rnd ali crap to your laptop, its not a long-term winning idea.

That chinkshit controller you bought is picking up a wireless signal that is similar or exact to whatever signal it is to turn on the strip. This is what happens when you don't control your own strip or buy chinkshit stuff.

Question though OP. Does it always turn on the lights around the same time, same color, same pattern? If not is it the last color and pattern you last turned it on to?

doesn't feel bad with door open.

>>1201270
Oh, fuck dude. You have to leave your bedroom? Poor you. God forbid in this day and age you have to go outside or something.

In all seriousness, it is probably mental. No other room in the house does this? I mean, fuck, plug the hole, put a fan to blow air in through the door. If that doesn;t help then, yeah, it is totally mental.

wut? Harbor Freight has a generous return policy, just get another one.

On a good day, their tools are decent for the price. You will never get a great tool there. On a bad day, they come out of the box broken, missing parts, or are so over rated they are useless for what you want them to do.

They are great for three things and three things only: Tools you only plan to use once, tools that will only be subjected to light duty use, and buying name brand stuff using the coupon. The latter is generally stuff like cleaning products, lubricants, etc., not real tools. It also depends on what your local store carries.

All low flow toilets are garbage. Get a conventional one.

>>1199955
Take a chocolate bar and a jug of water with you. Make sure you keep the chocolate bar on the dash or in your pocket.

You can adjust the toilet fill valve if the tank is a decent size.

Heatpump always.
Cheaper in the long run. (Unledd you live in the forest and have acess to a LOT of lumber pr something like that

Renting. There's central heating in the house with gas but I think that uses alot of money and it emits from all the ducts even rooms that aren't being used.

Also if any of you keep tools or other shit in your van, you can spray the side windows.

The way a pizza oven works is by using the stored heat the walls to cook the food. You make a fire in the oven, leaving the door open, reduce fire to hot coals, scrape everything out, dust it with flour, toss in the pizza, close the door for a few minutes (2-4 mins), retrieve the fully cooked pizza, and repeat with another pizza. When the temps inside start to fall you switch to baking breads or other foods. Normally, you plan out several meals and make them all at once until the heat runs out, which can be a long long time depending on the size of the oven.

Now, your design has a chimney in the pizza oven. For pizza use, you'd need to close that off so there's no air inlet or outlet during pizza-cooking-mode.

Due to the impressive size of the masonry walls of the chimney, you'll need to heat up the flue for a long long long time, thus reducing fuel efficiency by a great deal. You need to use an insulated flue. That's a key aspect of a rocket stove; an insulated flue.

Here is a cross section of the whole thing. As you can see baking chamber (oven) is separated from grilling/cooking area that is under of it.

Red circle shows place where removable brick goes. When cooking or grilling, you remove that brick so smoke can go straight into chimney above.

Green circle shows place for iron damper which closes airflow to oven when stove is in use. (this part of design is still in progress)

>>1201473
If the pizza chamber can be heated up hot enough (700F-950F) then it will work fine. Remember the firebox of the rocket stove also needs to be insulated.
