Should I get a multimeter?

do you get along with plumbers?

>>1066506
Do you need a true RMS or autoranging multimeter for your work? What education do you have?

I have never before heard of this shit and it's the coolest thing ever.
You just changed my life forever.
Thank you.

I work at a place that pours concrete countertops and things.
Here's from my kitchen.

small amounts look at hobby stores ( hobby lobby/michaels/etc )

enco/msc can be good from time to time with free shipping

>>1080770
Literally covered that in the post.

>>1080771
Hobby lobby? I looked in that store once and it was nothing but home decor and wood shapes. Didn't see a single hobby item except a rather decent paint section.

I'll check the other two you listed, I don't need much, just need high quality. Fastanal wanted something like $60 a foot for some.

Plywood floor? That won't last very long.

Anyway, How enclosed are way talking? Roof and walls? Make a frame out of 2x2 wood or PVD and put a tarp/canvas/plastic over it. Or maybe pick up a cheap greenhouse somewhere and fit that to your needs. Whatever you do, it ain't gonna be warm. But you can hope for is that it will keep the wet and the wind off you.

>>1080600
Well, it doesn't need to be all perfect or water/weather proof. Just some help from the snow/wind would be good. I would build an entire frame and close it all off, but I am worried that her landlord will speak up.

Greenhouse could work. or some plastic perhaps

>>1080590

Get a small party tent and cut up the rods and tarp to fit the balcony.

You can tie the corner posts to the railing, jerry rig something for the roof (duck tape the sides and top to the balcony wall if necessary).

>>1080510
What kind of foundation is it on?

>>1080522
Pier and beam. Sorry I didn't mention that as it makes it easier to move.

>small house for the Mother In Law.

I like you toolhead ;)

I went to school for IE and to get any real use you had yo be a self starter, we were fortunate to have a lab that we could play with but it was all a solo activity. I got a 3d printer from mono price to learn on for $300 bucks, past that maybe plc's via an audrino

Well, the first part got cut off.

My father and I redid a concrete floor. We jack hammered the old floor, removed debris, installed drain tile and a sump pump.

We stained the floor and applied some sealant. The floor is less than two months old.

I thought this was an attempt at blank verse at first.

>>1079635
Are you serious? Fuck no. Old arcade machines in good condition are becoming rarer and rarer treasures. What you should do is use it as a template and build another cab to do whatever with.

>>1079683
it's already gutted. it was only a shell when I got it. I put an LCD monitor in it, and a couple of 4" JBL speakers on top. I donated the control panel to "the Galloping ghost" in Brookfield, IL. (great place, bro... check it out if you have the chance) It's just that the cabinet is not wide enough for two players. so.... make it a one player arcade?

>>1079715
If it was already gutted, sure. Go for it. Post a build log sometime for us!

I've got a line on some old, gutted, cabs or by me. Been thinking of doing a project. Just can't decide if it will be a mame cabinet or a an MVS.

Forge them into a dildo

>>1079200

You should hammer one into each of your eyes so hopefully you won't come here asking bullshit again.

Go to zednoughtalpha's YouTube. You can see how to make an anvil using four and a cheap forge. Forge the others

Easy. Wait, it actually depends on the fabric, THAT YOU DIDN'T FUCKING POST.

If it's wool/polyester I have no idea. Cotton is easy.

Any synthetic fabric is impossible to dye, they add dyes while making the plastics initially

As for wool, that is very difficult as well but doable with certain dyes (and often they don't hold the dye long)

Cotton is easy

Is 80/20 Cotton/Polyestery dyeable? I've nver done anything like this before but I'm thinking about dying one of those flecktarn parkas black so it comes out like pic related. How does dyeing interact with a pattern already on the item? Does it recolor the pattern or just override it and make it the dye color? Sorry for the basic questions, I don't really have a clue at this point

if you mean around the hot water lines, that does not sound like a great idea unless you're using a kind made for contact with high heat

if there is a large enough hole, I'd just use a thin piece of metal with a hole in it, screwed to the surface on either side of the pipe

shoot, you could probably even use steel wool

>>1078369
>steel wool
i heard that the mice will try and eat through the steel wool, and then it will kill them and they'll die in the walls and rot there.. leaving behind a corpse and a bad smell..

>>1078371
considering their talent for not getting caught other ways, it seems they would be smart enough to just chew through the normal wall after having trouble with the steel wool

another option I'd suggest is fireblock expanding foam

if you're really worried about them trying to eat stuff, just use some sheet metal....they cannot chew though that period

GIVE ME IDEAS, SOLUTIONS, AND INSPIRATION!!!!

Stop fucking yelling you whiny attention whore. You made a fucking shitty thread now deal with it bitch

>>1076282
It's stupid idea, you know nothing about helicopters. It's not jusy "I'll put engine here and it'll go vroom" it's massive chunk of engineering and you can't just build heli...

I'm also curious about how much it would cost to get an exterminator to do this. I'm going to do the work myself but I intend on charging it to their security deposit.

>>1075486
just get a free quote from a pest control business in your area

>>1075470
Just use poison under the deck. If the neighborhood cats haven't gotten under there taken care of them already then they aren't likely to ingest the poison.

I always look for a kit when it something I haven't got a clue on how to do.

Best source of info on DiY drone : rcgroups.com.
I built myself some with help from that forum.

Just bottled my oatmeal stout, I threw in a cup of mayan spicy hot chocolate powder near the end of the boil to see what would happen, it actually tastes not bad.
