Shouldn't be too hard. Don't expect to rise through any ranks too quickly if you don't show any initiative for management or people skills.

But getting by as a labourer should be simple enough. If you can follow set measurements already given on a blueprint, you should be successful enough.

>>1175376
Honestly, it's following measurements that fucks me over, and applying them to the actual project

Look up snow foam. Its usually in a container that you can attach to a hose or pressure washer.

>>1175313
well i guess your question is answered, snow foam, just make sure you use a snow foam sprayer thing, the bottle and nozzle the guy is holding in the picture. i tried putting snow foam soap through a karcher k4 into the detergent bottle that you can buy things for and it completely fucked it up, the pressure cutoff piston jammed then broke so it doesn't turn on at all now, waiting on a replacement part.
the foam has a mixing guide and you can adjust the water/foam ratio by twisting the nozzle and knob on top usually.
if it immediately falls off your car and doesn't stick on then congratulations, it clings to dirt so it just means your car is really clean already!

>>1175344
Thanks, I'll look into getting this chemical, I thougt I was adding too little of the soap.

This post is very suspicious. Is op growing weed?

>>1175302
I've built one. Used modified bunk bed plans and T5 lighting. Use aquatic water. Don't have fish directly in the system. Caught a mouse and now he lives in the tank.

>>1175485
No need to assume things that aren't there, we can't discuss indoor gardening because someone might be growing weed?
There's a lot of other plants that can be grown indoors.

But OP, I suggest you check out the homegrowmen threads on /out/.

Put your Li-po and motor specs in the ESC filter and buy the one that says "BEC".

>>1175305
And where is this filter? I can't find it.

>For steering, I'm gonna use a toy car remote

your picture is a combustion engine board
you describe and electric scateboard
you talk about steering it with fucking rc car parts?

get your head in the game knobbo, it doesn't matter how you drive a scateboard you steer it by leaning which turns the chucks, what you propose is retarded.

>>1175257
you tell us - what do you want out of it?

If it says made in china anywhere on the box its basically guaranteed shit with most of the price tag paying for the cat logo

Give it back, Jamal

Not Jamal but if I was I wouldn't have taken pictures of my keys for backups

It's a cut for a pin.

you're a morbidly obese smoker. maybe you should re-think a few things

>which is less likely to damage the paint
make up your mind, is it a collectible to you or not? if you take something put of the box that rests on the shelf that you have for collectible things you're willing to drop it down a drain or have it bent or mangled
it's fucking life you WILL put wear and tear on it you're not different from anybody else

>morbidly obese
fucksake anon, OP here just came to ask his question, get some advice and get on with his life. Coloring don't so look hot either tho but, now you mention it.

clay is the richest soil but most unworkable. sand is the most workable but holds the least water. loam holds the most water but has no structure. a combination of all three is the best soil.
you have clay with a significant portion of sand. it'll likely be rich in minerals butnseverely lacking in nitrogeneous compo8nds or any organic material. you need to add already broken down organic material (compost) or things that will break down quickly. the only problem is anything other than compost has weed seeds, will take ages to break down, is contaminated with something, or, in the case of wood chippings, will be a net negative for nitrogen.
you need to buy a metric shitton of compost and till it in. literally- manure compost is often some of the cheapest. find a llama ranch and get some or go to a dirt guy and get some regular compost. everything else will be cheaper, but will also bring you some kind of headache or not work at all. either spring for a single, spendy purchase of 1/2 a cubic foot of compost per square foot of land, rent a tiller, and till it in and forget about it, or kike out and do something else and get sucked into endless weeds or contaminated soil and eventually give up and curse the ground and what it grows
I'll be smiling down and laughing in the great garden in the sky
also buy a soil test you might need to balance P.H.

>>1174963
Just went to the dump.
They have mulch there.
$25 a ton.
A lot cheaper than bag after bag of $5 potting soil.
Check around, there's probably something like that near you.

Buy topsoil. 35$ a yard around here. don't even bother fucking around. Typical home needs like 5 yards and a load of wheelbarrows and rakes.

>>1174658
You already know what you want. You want use to talk you into so you feel better and blame 4chin when your wife gets pissed?

>>1174658
Where do you live where an MS 720 is allowed, it has no safety features at all. Here in Germany this saw would be forbidden to sell. The 440 is a good saw I own the 044C which is the predecessor and mainly the same as the 440. Pretty powerful and reliable because it is the professional series from stihl, it is 21 years old now. This year I got me the 461, and the 044 is now the backup saw, it has earned its retirement.

>>1174662

My inner Jew wants the 381 but the white man in me wants the 440. I usually follow the Jew but is it good enough for 200 hours of saw time right off the bat?

>>1174666

Thanks. Any experience with smaller saws?

>Where do you live where the 720 is allowed

In lands more free than the nation claiming to be "the land of the free"

Here's another shot from straight on, if that helps at all.

Also, why are my pics loading sideways?

Basically you want to hide the screws heads?

Woodfiller
Wooden dowel/peg

Would be what I try first.

Bamp

If its your house just replace the pipe with blueline. If its a rental get on to the owner.

>>1174359
House is mine.

I just need to seal it until I can part out the materials, time to start the project, etc.

Many of the lines have been replaced in PVC already. It's in the garage so I'm not worried about making it look sexy.

>>1174319

Take what's holding the jaw to a grinding wheel. You have to brake the tool.

Inkjet (PC printer) Iron On Transfers
is idea better, spray-on, be a fucking mess.

You'll want to make sure you spray thinly from a distance so that the paint doesn't bleed too much outside the lines

>>1174315
ill look into that, iron on transfers are cheap as fuck

>>1174316
alright thanks, didnt even think about bleeding

>>1174296
Bump.

Should I ask this in FA?

>>1174296
It would look?
Amazing

What color will you dye it Op?
I recommend orange. Maybe just paint it if the dye doesn't work which it totally will

>>1174387
Mine is actually all black. I was going to try a light green to make it dark green or something. I know I don't really have a lot of options with it being black.

What do you mean by painting it?

>>1174273
Rectifier
makes AC ~ into DC +/-

It's a rectifier. Consists out of four diodes. In a lot of applications easy to replace with a 'pi times thumb' part.

>>1174281

Technically, a Full Wave Bridge Rectifier
Also get better potatocam or type the data from the top of that fuzzy bugger. That and look for numbers around the device.
