Here's a picture of her guts and the switch in question.

>>1157285

take the goddamn switch apart and try to clean it. even if you fuck it up, you're not out anything. did you even try looking at replacement switches online? What are the voltage/current/temperature requirements of your switch?

>>1157299
Shot a squirt of ballistol into the plunger on the switch and it isn't sticking any more. Must have been clogged up with grinder dust.
Thanks for the reply anon. I'll delete this thread tomorrow.

take the face plate off and look.

an unshielded wire is what you are looking for

Not an electrician, but GFCI shouldn't interfere with detecting ground. What happens in some old houses with 2-prong outlets is that they're replaced with 3-prong GFCI outlets to give you a margin of safety despite having no ground. What they SHOULD have is a sticker that comes with the outlets that you slap on that says "NO GROUND". I'm guessing they got lazy and left the stickers off.

If it comes down to it, just pull the plate off and look inside at the wiring.

Sticking two butter-knives into the plugs is a good way to test. link them together with a wire of some kind, plug them in, and remove the wire. If there is a small arc of electricity, it's not grounded. If nothing happens, its grounded.

Construction loan.
I did the same thing OP. I paid cash for a POS house on 5 acres. It was a foreclosure. Instead of tearing it down like I originally intended I decided to extensively rebuild it. I added a second story without changing the original roofline, and added on the back with a new basement as well.
Anyway, I used a construction loan and borrowed whatever I needed when I bought materials. I paid interest on whatever I currently owed, and once the house was completed I switched everything over to a conventional loan. Everything went very smooth, but I would imagine that depends on your bank and the relationship you have.
Good luck

What about a FHA 203 loan?

A lot of people in the real estate bussiness have partners. If you have any investor friends. If you buy all the tools to flip one house you might as well flip another.

Here is the front of the watch in case you need further help in identifying. (I went ahead and just removed the second hand from the case so I could continue using the watch.)

>>1157104
It's the little button directly below where the stem enters the movement, but the crown has to be pulled out to the correct position for the mechanism to work.

Don't know what that position is so just fucking try them all.

Mission Accomplished.
Thank you very much!

It's all dogshit, though some at least include some OK parts. Nothing is better than 'good starter kit for building something more complete'.

>>1156840
Not sure but please get one that laser etches plexiglass. I have a billion projects requiring this and potential resources to make us some money. If not i can hook u up with some cool painted shit and a little cash. Maybe a pair of tickets to fight night and a beer if u near tulsa oklahoma

>>1156840
Live near a decent sized city? Find a makerspace or check the library. Several around me have lasers. The library will usually only be operated by an employee, you can't actually touch it. Makerspace tends to be pretty much free reign (except techlab, those guys are anal retentive as fuck.)

Could you just stop making worthless threads?

>>1156621
no one cares, when you make your own tools then come back

how do i stop drinking?

it's starting make my dick flaccid.
no joke i can't go a weekend without pounding 60 beers.

i beat my wife one time, and then threw a brick at my dog.

i'm alone now. probably for the best.

she has a restraining order and won't let me see my child.

how could someone do that to the father of their child?

it's not fair.

i might kill myself one day.

If you just want to learn basic maintenance then youtube has more than enough information. You'd be surprised how much you learn just by tinkering with you engine.

>>1156651
This. Deisle is a cock but there is money to be made. My buddy makes more on 5 hour days in his garage than i do with overtime.

Protip.

Hotrodders and race car drivers will learn u more than any memeschool.

>>1156651
This guys got it. You dont need a class for basic maintenance. Just research, watch some youtube videos, and when its time for some maintenance on your car, if you think you can handle it, do it yourself. A service manual isnt necessary for most simple stuff, but is a good investment if you want to do more or if you dont have a good owners manual.

If you want to go more in depth, you could buy some cheap shitbox off craigslist or whatever and wrench on that. Diesels arent too awful different when it comes to most real basic maintenance stuff, but once you get a little more into it, they are pretty damn different.

>>1156550

you left out the most important detail.

where the fuck is it

cool fucking project dude, don't know what you are asking for though.
how you will save money by living in the bunker?
you could make money by offering it as a nuke storage for the russians

>>1156550
>underground food storage
wut?
PAGING MARY JANE BUNKER ANON - Guy that bought the house with ex-military bunker that was busted as a farm? If you readin, any updates? cheers!
>How would you profit from a bunker?
eh, legally, you mean? Wanna be rich with a bunker, start off very rich, I guess - everyone seems to go for datacentres n shit, food? maybe mushrooms or something, doubt the resulting climate would be great to actually live in tho.

this assembly is to enable both headphones and speakers to be connected all the time

>>1156468
If you're going to drive speakers and headphones, not really. It isn't impossible or anything, but the results are crap.

what if a pot is added to one of the lines only? just to enable volume control for headphones

>>1156372
wd40 the whole area, unscrew the knob then knipex the shit

>>1156376
Worked, now we need to turn the whole thing but it's stuck

>>1156393
wd40 the whole area, hit with hammer

>>1156359
the blocks can be just foam

the tunnel bit can be fabric covering some flexible ducting

>>1156359
You'd need some experience in upholstery & sewing, and maybe some woodworking. Not much though. How much are you willing to spend on this? Time, effort (including several attempts and learning/researching), space for working in your home, money for tools and material.
You could also try to rig it together with existing parts. I.e. find a couch that looks similar and attach a standard plastic tube. Or any couch that you can modify.

>>1156361
I think the lower block should be solid for it to be comfortable to sit on.

I don't think my cat would be able to climb that vertical section >_<

They are hand made by the last remaining member of the Xaitongmoinan order of monks. It must be CNC milled by an ox-powered gear and pulley contraption using an animal of a specific age and temperament. Hand rolled, individually blessed PTFE granules form the seals. Then it must be assembled with telekinesis. Then it is pressure tested by a virgin boy who must swim to the bottom of the Couwomo and attach it to the Void Portal. If the magic holds the water inside the lake, the artifact is complete. If not, the mountain and the Order will fall into the Void and all is lost. This makes them extremely coveted possessions both in mainland China and Hong Kong, where people are known to murder their siblings for one.

It's a luxury, non-consumable, "home-centric" item. They ALWAYS carry a hefty premium. I'm surprised you can find them as cheap as $100, DESU.

Kek. Im about to use 2 shower heads and several gate valves so the wife and i can set shit the way we want and have our own off and ons. Fucking hate my knobs... just gotta find a setup that doesnt look gay or hide my knobs under the sink.

Having a shitty old house sucks dick...

Ladder I meant.

>>1155966
>only 6ft

pussy

>>1155985
Oddly enough falls from 6' ladders is one of the leading accidents in construction.
Of course more construction workers are killed on the highways and interstates trying to get to and from, so there's that too.

Lots more pics are needed. There are several different ways they come apart. Take pics of the area where the wheel axel attach to the fork. Also what is inside the "adjuster" caps, a pair channel locks and a rag can take them off fairly easy.

Like you said, it's a cheapo bike. Those forks probably come apart but are really meant to be a throw away part rather than a serviceable one.

Name brand fork will have manuals with diagrams and part numbers for rebuilds.

Best bet for those is to find a second cheapo broken bike with good forks and swap them over. Been a bit since I've been into bikes but should be a standard 1-1/8" steer tube.

>>1155943
On the bottom of one of the stems should be a retension bolt by the axle. Remove it. Fork housing will slide off from the crown and stem posts.

Silicon, aluminum, copper and fiberglass. Looks legit to me.

Let's get some number to get the thing easy.

In my opinion:
1 could be sensors and/or regulation
2 some memory for MCU
3 seem to be 48 pins MCU
4 ?? soldering pads for more chip
5 ?? idem 4

Thanks anon we almost there :)
