Seems a vapor barrier would be a good idea

>>1228841
Hardie board is a brand name, often used shorthand referring to their cement backer board, just like duraroc.

When you mention a crescent wrench, most people know you mean an adjustable wrench, as opposed to pulling out every Crescent branded wrench in the catalog.

delet this

it doesn't say screws in you picture.
typically these are panel pins
sometimes it comes with a little plastic thing for holding and spacing them properly.
did you lose them? are you sitting on them?

screws will annihilate whatever melamine veneered chipboard you are screwing into.

Trust me, I would have thought it was a weird idea too, but the picture is a screw and the bag with that number on it contains screws.

A lot more diffictult and expensive than just buying them

>>1228744
How difficult? Would I need crazy specialized hardware, or could it be done by hand?

I think it would be nice to be able to make my own, and I'd be willing to put in the time for it.

As for cost,most of the glasses I'm looking at now are in the $500-600 price range.

frames are very expensive, especially if you don't have insurance. I am also interested in this, wood would make an interesting material as well. Bump!

Turn everything off and go outside.

My roommates have a $200 bill to suffer every month because they don't go outside.

In the summer the biggest power drain by far is the AC. Set it to 80, wear lighter clothing and use a small fan to circulate air instead of keeping it at 72 or even colder. Close the shades to prevent light from coming through the southern facing windows.

Set your appliances to power saving mode. i.e. don't keep your fridge on the coldest setting. if you have an electrc water heater double check its temperature setting.

and be energy smart. dont leave your shit turned on. turn off your computers when not in use, dont leave the tv on, and shut off lights when not in use.

>>1228717

Highest power draws in summer are:

-central A/C
-clothes dryer
-stove/oven

assuming those last two are electric.

So basically, don't use those as often. Turning the A/C a few degrees hotter can reduce consumption by a huge amount, and using a fan almost makes up the difference in feel. Dry clothes to the point of being kind-of-dry-but-a-little-damp and hang them up. Cook food in bulk 1-2 times/week and then just microwave it or eat it cold.

Also if your area allows it look into alternate energy providers. Where I live you can choose the energy "retailer" (who generates the electricity) although the energy "delivery" (who maintains the grid) is set as one company. I lowered my electric bill by about 30% by switching to a different retailer.

One bump and I'll let this thread die.

Time to install track lighting!

You don't need a seal, you need to take that tile back out and put it in properly.

>>1228702
Dont do that you stupid nigger. If you peel the tape off the roll and re-roll it you lose bond strength. A lot of it.

What do you think?

>>1228702
Start a tape roll selling garage sale. Real easy

mostly just wanna make this because I think it's cool.

looking up stuff on google didn't really net me any results either :/

Take the fridge put it in the cabinet and done?

What exactly do you need help with? Do you have measurements from the inside of the cabinet and the outside of the fridge?

>>1228651
1. Remove door hinges
2. Place on bottom of door
3. Fasten drawer faces to fridge door
4. Shot of black

>>1228517
Youll ruin it trying to take it off

I think if your down for it you should be prepared for it to be ruined in the event it all goes wrong
Which from just plastic manufacturing companies is concerned
It's gonna go wrong but if you are okay with that go ahead dawg
Probs just adhesive pressed on and would probs take off with heat

Get this one, or some other cheap shit on Amazon. You don't need gas if you're just using it to tack. Hobart flux wire makes almost no spatter, and is relatively cheap. For $40 on Amazon you can get about twenty years worth of wire for tack welds.

Don't destroy any GP-5s. Those things are gonna get harder and harder to find until they're all gone.

i tryed with liquid latex and latex mold builder. best result was made on a fiberglass framing.

just airbrush with autocolor paint and youll get good.

These modules aren't for the transmission of audio.

These bluetooth modules transmit the digital data over the air and send the information out through the TX and RX pins digitally. You need to have a motherboard with processor to convert that digital information out to analog audio. They can't output analog data.

>>1228440
Dude thats for an arduino, the bitrate cannot make it up to the audio one. A bluethoot transmitter for the car doesnt cost more than 10 bucks poorfag

Pics dawg

"popping" most likely a stretched and warn chain. Replace chain. If this still doesn't fix it. The chain sprockets are out of align.. Maybe missing a spacer or something on the rear axle.

But I'm betting more on a Fucking stretched chain.

>>1228431
mine always popped off when I jumped the curb running from the law

Looks like mineral wool aka rockwool. Could also be a fiberglass/wool combo (real wool, like off of a sheep) that I have seen in houses of that vintage.

>>1228380
Any chances of it being contaminated with asbestos fibers?

>>1228386
It is unlikely but not unheard of. Get it tested if you are worried.

>>1228365
Hang heavy as shit curtains, and a Oriental wall rug.

Go over all window trim, and seal any gaps with sealent. Good for noise, and energy loss.

Double pane windows help a lot too.
Wooden blinds help
Bushes along your outside wall help as well.

Literally the first reply is what a shit scam of a video it is and the rest are about where to get body pillows to put on your wall.
