I used this: https://www.amazon.com/3M-80-Rubber-Adhesive-Aerosol/dp/B000WS9N2G

Since then, this arrived (haven't tried myself, but looks like it's what you need): https://www.amazon.com/3M-38808-Headliner-Fabric-Adhesive/dp/B004MEBENM/

How long did the one you used hold?

>>1083949
The 3M headliner adhesive sucks balls. It's literally terrible. Buy anything else.

It's very wet, so thin materials get soaked and harden. My Accords headliner is thin from the factory, and is still falling down, but is now soaked with this shit and hardened.

We don't welcome unskilled and unresourced cunts who can't google their own shit and come here and expect us to teach you magic. Sleep on the floor so you don't have to worry about it breaking.

Futons work nicely, are comfy to fuck on, and avoid the whole stupid elevated bed frame thing.

You could sew or have sewn suitably weebish covers.

Matthias, your autistic uncle, has a video showing how to make a bomb-proof bed frame using dimensional lumber from the hardware store.

>>1083711
Nothing. Aside from cutting the plastic, you bought a non-adjustable pair of headphones. Make better decisions in the future.

is there anyone else slightly more intelligent / imaginative then this guy on this forum that would like to provide some useful ideas ?

bleach

or a mix of bleach and fine sand, such as cif

>>1083556

vinegar may also work

>>1083556
hydrogen peroxide

scrub with magic eraser

>>1083428

That's called side emitting fiber optic. Go to ebay for the best deal on that stuff and the LEDs for it.

>>1083428
Look into electro luminescent wire. EL Wire for short. It might be cheaper than fiber, I don't know, never worked with fiber.

Breaking out of federal penitentiary. Don't forget a clean pair of shoes

It's a straight peen hammer. It's for splitting bricks and other similar tasks most likely. I used one for rock work when I was in the California Conservation Corps. Blacksmiths and metalworkers also use similar hammers for their duties. Looks like a slightly heavy one. 2-4 pound head on it?

>>1083453
Yea it's heavy as fuck def a 4 pound head.

you become the path to ground

>>1083217
>>1083219
In the USA one of the slots is longer than the other, this side is supposed to be connected to the 'neutral' side. In a properly wired outlet this one cannot shock you. But the other one is 'hot' and if you complete a path back to ground or the neutral side you get shocked.

To put it simply, the electricity in your house just wants to get to the ground. But us mean humans want to make it go through a load first, like a motor, lightbulb, or TV. Our breakers check to make sure we're putting it through a load, and if it senses that we arent, it trips.

This poor power just wants to get to mother earth as quickly as possible. It's also a sneaky little rat bastard, and will take any path it is given to get there. For example, little Timmy puts a fork into the outlet on the hot side. The power travels through Timmy, down through his shoes, into the floor. Even I don't entirely understand why it travels through Timmys rubber shoes. Maybe it's just searching Timmy for another exit. What if Timmy was standing on a copper rod into the ground, would he even feel it?

In any case, if Timmy was not being a little bastard, and you were just plugging in a lamp, the power travels through the bulb, then back to neutral, which in turn goes into the earth. The difference is, the lightbulb in your lamp limits how much of the power can get to ground. The power prefers it get there faster.

>Hey kid, wanna get lit?

Beyond this, you get into resistance, current, amperage, all that boring shit. They key point is that power wants to go home, and will do what it takes to get there.

>But i also know this could be early signs of a much more serious problem
Of course it is, ya dingus!

If moisture's seeping from the ground & into the wall, that means your foundation has a crack & there's shit drainage around your house. You'd have to dig a deep trench at the edge of the foundation, then seal the crack & ensure the trench can drain properly, before burying it up again.

>>1083046
your webm is cringe, get some fucking lube on that shit man.

>>1083053

I priced that out and to get it done decently is 10 grand or more.

Since we are not sure we are gonna be living in this house for more then another 2 or 3 years and that is not something that will add value im not going to do it.

Likely the same reasoning the people i bought the house from had which is why i am having this problem now. but thats life.

I am looking at a nice hunk of land and if it works out i will be building my own house and have all the proper drainage and waterproffing done. But doing it to this house would just be paying to fix someone else's problem at this point.

Mount the bracket vertically.

>>1082993
With no VESA-compatible mount points? Tape.

I hate manufacturers that don't follow standards to meet an aesthetic goal that isn't even that important.

sure it will be fine if you are laying down, but you have to be laying down a certain direction. Mounting it the correct way would be more beneficial. Or maybe mount it on a Lazy Susan and then mount that on the wall. Then you can orientate it to the orientation of your body. Useful if you have a recliner so you can put it at 45 degrees

If you're not a hamplanet you should be fine, I've been nervous everytime i've used one but if it is on a good non slip surface your weight will "foot" it in enough to not slip.

I wouldn't trust one in platform mode though..

I have a Little Giant 22. They are sturdy enough and the hinge is actually overbuilt. Each hinge is a 1/4" worth of solid steel and two half inch steel pins keeping the thing from buckling even in extension ladder mode. I first felt that the rungs were a little thin and flimsy and hard on your feet, but they are thick bars of extruded aluminum and reassuringly welded on.

The main drawback is that the whole assembly is rediculously heavy.

I find myself still using my Werner step ladder because it's so easy to chuck around. The Little Giant has wheels for a reason.

>>1082781
If you have a good quality brand (I have a Werner) they are great. A-frame ladders are superior in stability and workability, since you can stand over the top with one leg on each side and be perfectly stable with both hands free. They fully lock in iether open or closed positions, so they are actually *more* sturdy then a normal ladder.

They are substantially heavier then a normal ladder, but far more useful. Don't get a cheap one though.

>>1082644
Don't let it go down the drain...

>>1082644
use a drain guard and use drano every now and then with boiling hot water

Shave everything
Yes, everything

cost of bolts vs cost of injuries/funeral after it all comes crashing down with a person inside because someone didn't want to build it properly

>>1082606
If you had thought about this 50 years ago when the tree was growing you could have simply offered up the brands and the tree would have grown around them.
Isn't the only part of the tree that's alive the bark? Is that right? The inside is dead? Not sure but I wouldn't be sinking anything permanent into the tree surely it will rust? Trees are full of water aren't they? I would say build a box of joists tightly around the trunk, maybe notch out a little bit of trunk to make sure the joist is flush to the tree then bolt it so its friction fit, the widening trunk will keep it up.
Then again I have absolutely no qualifications in this or any other field. But that's what I would try.

The layer just under the bark.

Maybe they're called "Joker" because only idiots would buy them?
