1) Flip mattress onto floor
2) Bang away
3) Put mattress back
4) Make bed

How hard is that?

>can't have sex on it
Im impressed, you found someone willing to even consider it, desu.
>or maybe not

That is an inherently wobbly design, its made for space-saving kids or very ocassional spare use, not wild conjugal nookie romps. Im also assuming, you wouldnt have the tools/skills to make it solid(er) - welding, etc. - basically, its not worth the bother of even trying, Get it to fuck, be the best idea, ask your parents for a new one - and if space is that tight, even a wooden high bed be a stabiler idea, usually. Bolting it to a wall, youd need spacers, etc. if you have a skirting board, and, the chances are, its just gonna unattach itself at the first opportunity, leaving you where you were, plus holes in the wall.

tldr, masturbate less vigorously already.

>>1132407
if the threads inside the pipe coming out of the wall is ok, u can just replace the entire knob with a new one

>>1132407
just unscrew the valve and screw a new one in. use teflon tape on the threads of the new one.

>>1132411
>>1132412


Are right. Shut off the main and grab some channel locks or a pipe wrench and have at it.

Imo the liquid teflon taoe paste is master race. Soent days of my lifw fighting the actual tape bullshit...

You think that's how it works? I was always assuming there is a propeller kind of device inside.

>>1132219
a propeller is literally the opposite of what you want to do.
what you meant to say is you thought there was a turbine in there.

I have seen quite a few videos and seen diagrams on people who have done it, but only a few had achieved the stability I am looking for. The levitated magnet has to be able to sustain minor contacts and stay there.

This video is one of the best I have seen, but I do not understand all of it, and I don't know the details of the parts I need. Also, the reply from this guy is very helpful:

I hope this helps you in knowing what I'm trying to build and giving me more specific pointers. Here's a picture of the electrical components of the video

Forgot to add the picture.

I will be back in about 2 hours, going out with my gf to grab a bite. I'll be happy to chat with anyone that wants to help me when I come back.

Stack 3 full paint cans on top of each other. Try to push the top one off with one finger. Now multiply that by the height of a table leg.

It'll be fine and sturdy if you find a way to bolt the paint cans and legs together though.

>>1130122

Absolutely retarded. Go get some lumbar from you local chain. That's some shit an easy one would do. Then get made when their computer is smashed.

>>1130122
Pack the cans with sand, and duct tape around seams where the cans meet, then secure legs to cans. You just can't use the desk to support any of your weight.

>>1130119
Lags need a hole the entire way through. You can buy the proper drill bit at any store, it needs to be a hair thinner than the lag minus the threads.

That is a really tiny compost tumbler.

You could do thqt, you can get those timers that go on the tap that control when it will come on. You can also get 'leaky' hoses but they're more for beds.

Do you need to control the humidity at all?

>>1129805
If the pots and plants don't move out change then sure, if there is a decent turnover you might find a misters on the roof more useful.
Irrigation equipment is apparently a luxury and therefore expensive, I doubt there is such a thing as cheap parts. Maybe something like rigid pneumatic line, drill your own holes in it

>>1129806
Humidity should be fine, none of the plants are unusual for this climate and could survive outside the greenhouse just fine except when it gets cold

Before now she had simply let her flowers die at the end of the year when winter rolled around.

>>1129808
That's definitely doable, I have a pretty substantial workbench and a wide selection of drillbits at my disposal. That being said, I don't really mind paying more if someone with experience things I'll get better results just using an engineered product.

you're the worst at shopping of everyone in the whole world.

Perhaps some sort of chemical...

i'd wire them up so you get 6+ volts and hook them up to a cheap TP4056 lithium charger off ebay

-20c isn't real good on a lion batt, but i'd just keep a stack of old laptop cells around

I'd use a 6v SLA battery, they are cheap as fuck on ebay and will last a long time. Li-ion will die from staying full or empty pretty quickly, NiMH/nicad should get a full discharge before recharging or they won't last long.

>>1128950
easiest way would be to use the included NICAD battery.

Find the resistor on the PCB, and either bridge it or remove it and bypass it. Then you can just connect a few ultrabright LEDs in parallel.

i have done the same thing for my porch - I placed the garden light on my roof, extended the wire from the LED to reach my ceiling. Using 3 ultrabright LEDS and had no issues for the past 5 or so months. All running from the included 300MaH NICAD battery - it lasts for around 8 hours which is plenty

>>1131502
polycarbonate? you can get small sheets of lexan at home depot lowes to experiment on

>>1131522

Interesting suggestion. Think I could could that with a hole saw?

The tube glows so it's getting power as well

This is the service manual checklist for "Video does not appear" although I'm not too sure how to check any of this myself.

You should be able to do step 1 but you'll need an oscilloscope for everything else.

It's a pretty nice machine to be starting on desu. I would be more worried about damaging the machine from lack of experience than anything.

Why do you keep asking after 9000 threads on the exact subject?

because they are comfy and cheap, no reason to hate them.

>>1129056
>cheap
that ones $78,646 USD for the comtainer.
plus delivery, plus $4k odd for insulation (if needed.. ;) plus you need a foundation (or, in this case, the garge underneath) + somewhere to put it.

So, @ $225 per square foot, you about double the average construction cost already. Before adding in the rest. Cheep, its really fucking not dude.
