Depends on your building materials. Bricks are relatively simple, same for cinderblocks. Not a terribly hard project in my opinion!

Tiles aren't friable. They're not particularly dangerous.

>>1136382
With tiles, should I still get the hepa filter vacuum and special face mask thing, or can I just go to town?

Popcorn ceilings didn't always have asbestos in them. I lived in a house built in 1971 and it had styrofoam popcorn ceilings. If you peel off the paint on them and they are white and fluffy inside (picture related), then they are perfectly safe and can be left alone. Well, unless you think they are ugly as shit because they are.

Funfact; Popcorn ceilings were popular because people thought the improved the soundproofing in your house and kept sounds from bouncing off the ceilings. That's why they were sometimes only in hallways and bedrooms; places where you wanted quiet.

>asbestos tiles in the basement
Have you had them tested? Laminate flooring has been around a long time and has been made of many different materials. The reason asbestos flooring was so popular was because linoleum, the first common laminate flooring, was pretty flammable. PVC laminate flooring has also been around for decades.

>Turned off all the breakers and it's still out.
Did you turn them back on again?

>I want to know what's wrong and what happened.
The device was made for 1/10th the power you put through it and DC only at that. You blew it up. This likely caused a short. The short tripped your breakers. Turn the breakers to the off position and then to the on position. That will reset them. if you still don't have power and the main breaker isn;t tripped then you need to call a professional.

>>1135985
If you have a sub (fuse..) panel in your garage - assuming all the breakers are on, this entire maybe seperately fused on your main house panel. Basically, check every breaker you can find, if its really old wiring etc. its maybe on a non-resettable fuse (blown) somewhere as well. But hthat nothing ever works, ever again, its unlikely.

>>1135985
Try resetting any and all gfi switches in your house the outlets with the test and reset buttons in the middle they are usually in the bathroom and kitchen Goodluck

YES WE CAN go back to school jimmy you are fucking talking nonsense

>>1135920
I am new and know nothing about what the thing in which I'm looking for. What would I go back to school for? That would not help because I am seeking for possible advice about 1. what kind of options there are or aren't on the market and 2. to know at a glance what range of options may be possible with some DIY but inexpensive work. I'm not asking for something within some spec, I'm looking to see what specs are even available for the kind of application I'm going for, which I believe I specified with enough specificity.

>>1135916
a)no idea what the fuck you want to do
b)you will just have to make it yourself, if it was even available commercially, it would be very expensive

Your trying to vridge your speaker to one ohm. You should just run each channel to each speaker coil. At 2 ohms each your amp is rated to support it. No need to bridge it. The amp cant handle it.

so basically run the two left ports on the sub to the two left channels on the amp, and the 2 right to the 2 right channels, correct? this should take my amp out of protect mode?

Op here. I just tried running each channel to each speaker coil.. The amp is STILL goes straight into protect mode... ..

the green light goes on for a sec then the red one takes over and the green fades away..

Im really not sure what to do , any suggestions?

like i said the amp powers green whenever the speaker wires are not connected. I can connect one of the wires, stays green, as soon as i connect another wire to the amp channels it goes red.

Used Dylon recently with good results - I'd suggest you make the dye stronger, just add less water.

>>1135698
I have dyed with dyes that you use in a washing machine. You just replace the washing detergent with the dye. The hotter the wash the stronger the colour. Instructions in the package.

I have done it a few times and I plan on doing it again soon.
Proper prep is probably the most important thing, lots of sites and youtube video's on how to go about it. Start searching.
Rit Dye for me was the cheapest bu the worst out of all of them. Colors would not stick and would bleed over each other no matter how well prepped it was, ending up as faded and muted motly colors. Also colors not very bright, not enough "pop".

Jacquard dyes were a good and evenly priced option that worked well. Expect to get dye everywhere.

It will work out just fine. I grow in my cabinet from ikea with a 100w light

>>1135674
Mind if ask you a few questions, dont want to burn my house down or get busted on my first grow

>>1135660
If setup "properly", chances of fire is zero.

You can cut an IKEA wardrobe, yes, there is no physical law that prevents you doing that.

Whether a fan will be clogged by dust is 100% yes over a long enough period of time. Carpet don't produce dust, but dust (from other sources) tends to float down by gravity and the floor is generally a dusty environment the lower you get, dust are flung about by air movement like tumbleweed in a desert, that is why dust gathers together and eventually a big enough crumb will find its way to your fan.

Stanley #1

>>1135542
1.for what purpose?

If you have the time and tools to invest in fixing one by used if you don't buy new.

Old.planes just buy old Stanley's or preferably old Stanley Bedrocks

Pricey is worth it for longevity and for the occasional fine tuning to deal with seriously hard or curly timbers.

First three planes should be a 4 or 4.5 smoother, a block plane, a 5 5.5 jack.

That will get you through most stuff if you're breaking down and truing lumber by hand you should look at a 7 instead of the 5.

>>1135542
Power planer. And a number 7..

Power planer takes some tuning and a big metal file to get to a point where its worth dick.

If you NEEDED a third. Either a rabate plane, or a chisel plane.

It really depends on what your doing. But the power planer is my best friend...

I get timbers from tree services. Cut them up with a way too small of a chainsaw, free hand into slabs. If I need them smaller, skill saw, if i need them straighter. Table saw. And I finish them off finally with the power planer, set too where its just barely taking off fibers.

Just use gum like Pop used to

Also answering questions about silkscreen out metal photo.

>>1134929
Is there a question in there or is this just a statement?

Just in need of help. I can't get them to come out clean, they either have part of the border missing, or ink will bless through around the logo.

>5.5W
I'm not sure if that is enough for cutting wood.

>>1134746
It can, but it will be very fucking slow. Many passes

>>1134615
Focus is the most important thing. The laser isn't going to cut anything if it isn't focused spot on (speaking of sub-millimetre precision).
That's why it's really important your x and y axis are parallel to the workpiece. A small offset on one end will ruin the cut.

overground bunker

>>1134512
put wheels onnit, then, you can tow it around, its transportable. Think of all the money you'll save on cranes n shit.

nothing like the marketing picture

Dilute with paint thinner until you achieve the desired result.

>>1133802
probably depends on the wood as well, that wood looks like it would soak alot

had shit retail jobs when i was younger
lost my job
no job for one month
went to job center and got an apprenticeship as welder when i was 24
still at it with 27 now, few months to go

think i will stick with at, really good work and good pay

>>1130990
Jesus, I wish it was that easy. No one seems to hire apprentices, it's like you're SOL unless your dad or uncle is a tradesman.

>>1131032
Thats really true with unions. I got waitlisted from 2 separate IBEW locals within 6 months.

So I went to trade school at my community college for HVAC. I am a good student and got good grades my first semester and the head of the program lined up 3 interviews for me.

3rd company hired me a few weeks ago. I only have 1 semester of trade school (15 weeks) and my only previous job was in a grocery store.

You still have to know somebody, but its easier to prove your worth and meet people at a trade school.
