Make one out of card board or corrugated plastic. cover it with spray foam then
spray paint or airbrush the details?
Guessing paint could be the most expensive part.

>>1140113
Use 1x4 and some light ply board to build the shape then cover in spray foam and shave off excess.
Now I want to build one.

>>1140115
The problem I have is that I need to shape the plastic. Cardboard would probably be too fragile to use as a support, but I will consider it. Maybe reinforce it with whatever I find.

Also picture with idea of single wall fence

>>1139373
you might want to think of buiding an A frame on both ends of the fence and possibly every x amount of feet off center.

a patio is generally not a structure. Check your laws for what defines a structure, usually it is something with greater than 100 sq ft and has a roof.

I would just sink some anchors into the patio and go to town. if they don't like it, you can always cut them off flush with the surface.

Trading companies have already done what you want to do for a long time, with literally more money than you will ever see in your lifetime as its funding. If you want to do it as a hobbie, fine, but dont bet any money or at best you will have wasted a lot of time, or a lot of money at worst.

Erlang. Amateur trade bots and algorithms are useless. rather base it off Twitter.

The easiest way to start it to register a free demo forex account, learn mql4 or mql5 (c based lanuages) and practice on that..... but on the other hand those algorithms are 99.9% useless

I started by buying hand tools and sockets at harbor freight , lets face it hand tools are a piece of metal and the brands dont matter. I picked up a 20 volt porter cable drill impact combo and that thing has been great , i added a jig and circular saw to that combo when they were on sale for $49 doll hairs. I also got a nice security bit and bit driver set from amazon for electronics, my soldering iron is a 2 dollar one from harbor freight, im shopping for an upgrade but it does the job. On my car i have a nice kobalt socket and wrench set i got during black friday for 40 bucks. Im not really cheap i just like good deals.

>>1140608
>I just go to the hardware store a couple of times a month to pick up shit I need.

Just this mostly. Start project, run in to something i really need a particular tool for, buy. I've inherited some small stuff but mostly just purchased over the years. Several years.

If i don't need a thing right away i add it to a list and wait for sales. Canadian Tire aka Cambodian Tyre is usually a ripoff at full price however they do deep cut 50%-75% sales on a regular basis. I wait for those if possible. Also black friday and boxing day there are always good sales on power tools on amazon.

when i go to the city centrum - browsing hardware stores - there is like 20+ of them where all the stores are i allways buy somthink even if its small like centerpunch, or a small tool/parts box - the workshop was a mess years back there is ton of work to do like sorting small stuff, geting shit in proper standard boxes etc.(pic releted just finished asemblyng box of stamples and nails for stample gun only missing cable stamps)

US? Then no idea. Here in the EU all vendors of electronics must accept broken goods for recycling, and because they have to pay for pick up you can usually rummage through, no problem. Gotten a lot of chargers and computer parts that way, also some kewlt looking scrap metal for pet projects.

>>1140086
Come to think of it, in the early days of this shit, a local shop went bankrupt failing to handle pickups. Owner was a blonde airhead, and the shop had no storage. She thought anyone not accepting the trash would be arrested or something so she paid for daily pickups from a specialist service. Another company got wind of this and dumped a fuckton of old servers and crt-s on her.

>>1140084
Trash room of big malls. Usually accessable, small separate container for electronic waste. Dumpster behind a dishwasher outlet? That kind of thing.

free toothless gumjob from old peterson's mum with every set.

Still a bit pricey for what you get.

>>1135184
I got a set from wish that cost half as much and have lasted me for more than a year now. The seem to do the job just as well as anything else.

Gl bump

Need a better pic. Doesn't look PEX. Maybe polyethylene. You're going to have to dig it out better to replace it, do it now and take some better pics.

>>1135233
Tomorrow morning I will dig and get a better picture. Tonight I look to see if the city is being a dick by not giving me water usage history for the property. Just bought this home in December and I want to see if there was a leak before I bought it. I called the city to ask and they said privacy laws protect usage but everyone I speak to say that's bullshit.

it takes a wooden or plasterboard ceiling. if you don't have that, if it's solid, you'll need to lower it and put in a wooden or plasterboard ceiling.

>>1140730

What do you mean b plasterboard? My ceiling is drywall and the joists are 2x10s, so I assume there's plenty of height.

I already have wiring in the ceiling from the existing lights (4 ft florescent), so I can use that.

I know I want to go with LEDs but I don't know if I want the integrated LEDs or just LED bulbs. It's 3 rooms and I'm going to do a total of 16 fixtures.

Use remodel cans. Easy to install.

What makes that material so rare?
And what kind of hat are you thinking?

Shit looks synthetic and thin. Best bet would be to carefully separate the pieces of a trucker cap and copy the pattern and sew bits of that onto the front and bill. You're not likely going to male anything too cool out of that stuff.

But then again, I specialize in pirate hats made of heavy felt.

thanks for the advice your hats look awesome. Yes the material is super thin and probably will go with what your saying.
Its not the material but the pattern itself. Predator camo is one of if not the most effective open breakup camo patterns on the market. They at some point offered a blaze orange but it is nonexistent now and can't be found anywhere. I magically got my hands on these scraps and have been offered 200$ for them, more if I can make something out of them.

>>1140720

Got any patterns?

You aren't going to beat eBay's Chinamen in price and if you want to do this as a personal challenge or something, challenge yourself with Google and social engineering first, as the bridge IC datasheets are usually behind NDAs.

You want to custom roll a sata to pata multiplexer?

As an IT pro, I'd make sure it wasn't the keystone for some ancient part of the factory automation, then wipe it and toss it in the e-waste dumpster.

This was how I stored the larger cans and bottles for quite a while, but I've outgrown it. Still works well for frequently used stuff, but some of the more obscure/garage only stuff has been shelved. Some AWP bag my local Lowe's clearanced out.

Cleaning up a twice-Craigslisted Harbor Freight 7x10 metal lathe, this stuff works pretty well. Spray, soak for 5-10s, takes almost everything off, anything it misses you can get with a second round. Couple really nasty spots took a couple seconds with a brush. Doesn't evaporate off like some cleaners though, so for situations like this I worry it'll break down the oil over time. Good enough I'd buy another if I needed it now, not so good that I wouldn't research online if I had time.
