Never tried it myself, but look into extraxting essential oils, and get some ideas of what oils you like in your face mane. Personally i like lemongrass.

I removed my post because i don't want you profiting from my discovery. If it were for personal use that should be different

>only 21 running my own business

youre like the home schooled version of a machinist , i met all mine through work or trade school


model engineer groups are pretty avid machinists and do a lot of diy toos/machines, and they probably arent all pedophiles

Grandfather was a RAF fitter and turner that taught me everything up until he died, did an apprenticeship for three years which was alright aside from the stress and the fact that the only tafe that still did advanced machining was in a different state. ended up leaving a year before i finished my time and just working for myself.

>actually tried looking for local hobby groups but google didnt really help

Are you hiring?

Rent by word of mouth and don't rent to young people. If you never advertise then you can make sure you get tenants you want.

Bill him for the damage and keep the deposit because if he stays and does more damage you won't be covered for that. Security deposits should be to compensate you when tenants flee without paying.

I've been a landlord and worked repair jobs for them. I never advertise rentals. You should be allowed complete discrimination where your property is concerned. You can have that if you are reasonably creative.

If he actually does a good job replacing it, just drop it. No harm no foul.

If not, what this guy said >>1100255 send him the bill and don't pull it from his deposit.

Also $534 for a fucking door a new door knob? That's a little ridiculously overpriced don't you think? Don't be a rip off cockbag for the sake of "punishing" him.

>>1100248
First of all. If hes old enough to rent a place. Hes not a kid. Second of all having a rental with carpet is your own fault and daily wear and tear isn't legally the renters deal its yours. Third that door doesn't cost 500+ dollars to replace. Its clearly a shitty aluminum clad foam cored crappy generic door.

>Will any amount of plumbers putty or silicone correct this or am I better off calling the manufacturer for another gasket?

its probably quicker to take it out and exchange it at the store. but yeah if the spacer is messed up, get a new one.

who told you to put putty around those fittings? da fuck

>>1109096
Thanks for the reply, I'm new to homeownership and obviously inexperienced regarding plumbing defects.

Unfortunately I don't have the receipt or live in the same area as the store I purchased it from, so I will go ahead and look for a replacement spacer.

....two fonts? Like.. typefaces?

>I fucked up my motherboard trying to use two fonts
that's quite an achievement

who knows what else the burned trace took with it, replace the motherboard.

>>1109009
It will took a week to get a new am3 motherboard here. What a great town...

Find a place that does just cabinets and get a quote and compare to what you would spend at ikea. It won't be much higher and you will get a better product.
You will need a place for the countertop.

Otherwise, yea go for.

>>1108923
a lot of people told me just get an ikea kitchen and add a good countertop. theyre kitchens seem like shit quality though honestly.

another tging i was wondering, what about a kitchen made of brick?

>>1108926
Thats a terrible idea .
Itll be to heavy for your floor.

>If your fans are running even after you've turned your computer off, the issue may be caused by a residual charge left on your motherboard. To troubleshoot this you will need to perform a cold boot. Turn off your computer completely, then unplug everything -- including the power cord -- from the tower. Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds, then plug everything back in and start your computer normally.

>>1108837
Already tried it. I guess its back to the factory.

Is that a nyloc nut?

did you even torque it down?

Did you just hand tighten it and say "fuck it, that's good. I'm gonna go smoke some weed ayylmao 420"

Well clearly I said I'm new to the hobbie cuck so how bout some fucking advice I don't know what I'm doing

>>1108803
get a socket or deep angle wrench and tighten it to the specified torque

alternatively tighten it down until it contacts the bearing and hope you don't crush the bearing.

that is a hot water radiator as opposed to a steam radiator. you can tell its hot water because the water flows in on the right and returns on the bottom left. top left is a bleed valve for air. Both of these are different than a hot water heater. in your basement you have a hot water heater that connects to a boiler/circulator which then circulates water through the pictured item.

some guy who knows about radiators will come along here and tell you not to touch it. he is correct.

but in reality it probably wont hurt anybody to give that valve on the bottom right a few turns to the right to slow the flow through that radiator. You can also just open a window. or call and ask the landlord. They are a hassle to screw with if it breaks. also if that is not your actual pictured radiator since its dated 2015 and you have a steam radiator I suggest you might not know whats going on and should leave it alone.

Wrap it in a thick blanket.... should be a low enough temperature that there's no risk of fire, and the blanket will block the airflow keeping the room cooler.... i'm not an expert on these, but I don't think the one my water going back to the systems heater will cause a lot of problems.... he gets too cold uncover part of it

>>1108800
dont listen to the other guy

the big bottom valve is the flow control, turn it all the way to the right (tighten it) will turn it off

the top one is for releasing air bubbles so dont touch it

the bottom one is for touching

>>1108739
Pull it back from the wall and crimp some of the radiator tubing in the back? Assuming it's old enough to have them.

>>1108739

big box to the left are the batteries. center top is the inverter/charger. center bottom is the main DC disconnect. top right is a standard AC load center. middle right is unknown. could be fuses, could be an expansion box. bottom right is a junction box for the incoming solar panels.

>>1108708
googling tells me the right middle device is an autotransformer needed to run 120v loads off the powerwall. seems powerwalls are setup to output 240v only.

What component in this setup stops utility-provided electricity from the grid from entering the system when the PV/Powerwall is able to provide?

**this is outside and would need about a 60-80ft trench, and it runs underneath a house with a 2-3 ft crawl space. Hence not being too excited to replace it entirely myself (maybe just the trenching)

>>1108673
You don't bury sch40 sticks. It is bad to have joints in the ground. Use black polyethylene well pipe. No epoxies will fix and rusted pipe. If you don't want to replace the whole pipe dig up where the leak is, put a piece of rubber over the hole and a hose clamp on top to seal it. Will probably give you a few more years depending on the pipe's condition.

>>1108719
no. you do bury schedule 40 pipe.

Do you work in Winter Park FL ?

No. You might be thinking of Leader perhaps? I don't wanna be too specific but I do work for REV.

>>1108181
Yes, there's a small market for that. Look in jeep forums and truck forus like TacomaWorld.
