there are web sites that'll do this for you. no, i dont remember what they are coz it's been like 5 years since i've needed one, coz i just do everything in Comic Sans MS now. it's the bestest font ever, for everything.

google says that WhattheFont says this Brush Script Standard. your boss must've had to pay extra for a sweet font like that.

Just hammer the metal till its pretty much back to its original position. Some dents will be visible but you can sand it down and use some auto filler to make it smooth and paint over it. The wood part seems ok so you can leave it like that. If not then im sure there is some wood filler you can use to make it smooth.

you can get one of these brass lock reinforcers, so it'll look like a security feature, rather than a cover up for the work of a madman.

There is a limit where the building is too heavy to support itself even if it is solid bricks so unless it is very cleverly designed to reduce weight it won't reach half of that.

How long to build is another matter but it is simply a logistics problem or technical problem. If you build it like a pyramid then imagine building a fuck ton of pyramids on top of each other, i.e. fucking ages. Of course it is 2017 we can have machinery to move things faster.

How hard to lay bricks, it won't matter because laying bricks at the top is the same deal as laying bricks when you are at the ground.

The question is, why bricks, why so tall, what is the actual design, how many are working, what machine are available, what the bricks are made of, where are they from, where is the tower, etc.

>>1099252
It'd take like, 45 megapascals of pressure resistance for the brick to be suitable for for a vertical tower of Babylon, a lot less for a sloped one.

Brick can have anywhere from 1.5 to 50, the higher end stuff is hard to make though.

Brick is the canonical material of the Tower of Babylon.

>>1099255
I don't know what is the canon, but if someone is clever about it, they would just build it on an existing rocky mountain, literally just cover the top and sides with buildings, then carve out the mountain methodologically to make usable spaces in it, then you can just call the whole thing a tower, when in fact it is just a mountain covered with a skin of bricks.

Yeah, i have a light like that in my house. At least its lasted 5 years so far without needing to change.

I would say, you've just got shitty sockets.

>>1099227
They make little suction cup grabber things for these bulbs considering most of the time they are used in recessed lighting. I really wish I knew what their called for ya. Used them before but never bought one.

Can't see shit m8.

Brush all the crap off and maybe circle where the problem is.

You could try plastic welding with a woodburning torch/ soldering iron.

If you have a dremel you could even make a groove along the crack for a better weld.

Vacuum more and don't eat meals or drink soda on your carpeted area. You can get the soda stains out with hot water and vinegar. Heating up with water to near boiling on the stove before putting it in your carpet cleaner is a good idea.

I always advise against using soap or detergents on carpet because it's hard to rinse it out all the way. If it's not thoroughly rinsed out, it attracts more dirt in the long run. You can use it on spots if you rinse it two or three times afterwards, but it's a bad idea to use it on big areas.

Oxyclean actually works pretty well on large areas as well.

Thick shampoo/water mix.
Hand scrub with a brush to make as much bubbles as possible.
let bubbles dry (leaving dirt on surface).
Vacuum dry dirty bubbles.

>>1099206
Soak in carbonated water (club soda or whatever the amerilard term is)
apply a thick layer of potato flour and let it sit for a day or two
Clean
Repeat if stain is not completely gone

Works nice on red wine, blood (both menstrual and nose) and other stains....

Is that poo

Just pay for it that is an industrial job. Need a huge vacuum. Respirator thick gloves. Bunny suit and all that. I wouldn't attempt this at all.

vermiculite? toss it in the garden?

>or a website that can provide those.


I am triggered. Ample website coverage exists but you were too lazy to search.

>First ask Google, then ask /diy/. Your question will probably be better received if you do so.

>>1098967
I have asked google, I'm just trying to gather up as many recourses as possible. I have 20 tabs opened up already, I was just hoping I could get some help and didn't have to sift through all the shit. Thanks for your help anon.

It is a safety feature. Make sure the fan is upright. There should be a switch that turns the off if tipped over so you don't catch your house on fire. Does it completely shut off?

>>1098931
its probably the high limit switch that you hear clicking and breaking the circuit. thats usually due to low airflow either from it being dirty or the inlet/outlet being blocked in some way

It's obviously standing upright on its feet, so it must be something else. Also there's no switch in this one, its short legs keep it off the floor. It's more like pic related than the OP.

I meant the rubber rings.
I have an eletronics lab, and repair mobile phones, but can't find a way to remove the rings without damage.

Go to the store, buy the same JBL Pulse 2, then keep the new one and return the old one

>>1098827
not sure i understand what you're asking

the sony pic gives you black/blue/red/yellow wires so hunt those down? <- that's all you have left correct?

>>1098828
shit nevermind sorry

can you hunt down the harness (3rd party or something) from crutchfield or off ebay for a clear picture?

https://thewireszone.com/p-8100-16-pin-wire-harness-for-select-2013-up-sony-car-stereo-receiver.aspx

These guys seem to make the harness, supposedly its compatible with the stereo. However the images aren't that clear.

If the image is even from the harness(and the harness is compatible) and not a random stock image, then I'm guessing something like pics related

Has it been insulated well? Electrical updated in the last 20 years? If not. Pass for me.

if you can barely afford to buy it, you surely wont be able to dump money into it

My cousin just bought a 'tri-level' home for 225k about an hour outside of chicago in Indiana. Home prices are cheap there and he needed to do very minimal things to the house. The house is huge too, over 2k square feet, half finished basement. But he plans on having a dumb amount of kids. I think he's an idiot for it but the price and the house is fantastic for what he wants out of life.

How much is the house you're looking at?
How much house do you need?
How much house will you need in the future?

Is it worth blowing tens of thousands of dollars renovating a house that you won't use?

3 fireplaces seems like that kind of house.

Also regarding the monitor: it often wouldn't turn on and I'd have to press the power button multiple times. As it worsened I needed to unplug it and plug it back in to power it on. Eventually even that stopped working.

That's a capacitor issue, right? Could it be anything else?

Could always be a faulty switch

Clock?

Depends on what you're building.

What are you building?

>>1098725
What do you mean exactly?
Programming could be a bitch, depends on how professional and efficient you want the program on the mcu to be.
One of the easiest ways is to program everything in arduino for instance, but if you want to have more control over everything in the chip or/and run more effecient programs you might want to switch to AVR programming or low level C.
Also for some applications you want to use a PLC instead of a MCU.
