Kind of.

It looks like it's in parallel. If it is, you're good to go, just make sure the battery packs are at the same charge level before you hook them together.

>>1036831

Thanks. I just hooked up another battery I knew wasn't fully charged to see if it was working in parallel.

Thanks again

Where the light?

Draw a diagram. Try and work it out. Use what's between your ears. We're not your homework club

Oh fuck off, people ask the stupidest shit here and get enough help to build a reactor.
Let him ask a question if he cant figure it out.


>>1036403
I dont know shit about that so i cant help

You need to take a better picture, but basically you have both switch lives in the permanent, so the switch now doesn't do anything.

it'll work

>LCD panel itself is fine and could be used for awesome

it sounds like you don't know what you're doing and you should just throw it in the trash

>it'll work
It'll also leave the half of the circuit that is producing 1kV+ live, which I'm not that comfortable with

After staring at the board and a diagram of another very similar inverter board using the same SEM2150 snipping the red ones would seem a good way to go as that kills power to inverter side, and yellows for good measure as then it'll be completelly severed from the rest

Don't some Tig machines let u run sticks off of them too? Idk im lurking hard cause I'm curious as the OP. most people just tell me to go with blue or red. And pay as much money as I can afford...

But that's never helpful.

Also with TIG you dont get all the bullshit flux splatter.

Everlast. cant go wrong with your budget. plus 5 year warranty.

>>1036285
Yeah mate, you can run tig on stick and stick on tig machines.

>>1036287
Cheers. I'll check 'em out.

What's the lowest duty cycle you can get away with for tig welding? Obviously it's not industrial use, but I'm looking to eventually monetize my tig hobby. Only an apprentice so going from 26 an hour to 17 is hard.

Hoping to get set up for boat, boat trailer and other maritime repair and fabrication along with dealing with some car guys, so headers, exhausts and maybe the odd bit of body work, although I'm not too crash hot at banging metal.

I think its a plough wrench, they're usually made out of cast iron and you can't make a blade out of it

This is an old rail way remover

First off, whats on top of your water heater? Thats generally where the water comes in and leaves. If you have any shut off valves they will be there.

Second, why would your water heater have anything to do with your AC?

Third, that is a drain valve. Do not use that unless you have somewhere for that water to go and you have the supply shut off already.

Finally, turning the power off is not going to effect the water heater as water is pushed through it via the water pressure in your pipes. There is also a pretty solid chance that it is heated with natural gas and not electricity.

Whatever the deal is you need to shut off the water. If t hat means shutting off your whole apartment then so be it.

>>1036259
Turn off the water, open a tap somewhere and and turn it to hot.

Sorry I don't really know much about maintenance, I live in an apartment, in the closet is the water heater and on top of it sits the AC. I looked all around I can't find any other valves or things to turn its just a big blue cylinder with that one thing I showed the pic of. There is a copper pipe running out of the top of it and into the back wall, that is where the water is coming out of that pipe. It is too far back to reach I can't tape it up or anything.

Put it in a clean vhs player on slow and run it by a cloth.

>>1036180
>run it by a cloth
Where to put the cloth inside the machine, in a way that it does not fucks the other working components, like the drum with the video heads, spinning?

Wont running a static building cloth across the surface at moderate to high speed cause static? Would the static cause a magnetic field strong enough to ruin the tape (worse at the end than at the beginning.)

It's been 2decades since I touched one of these things. No idea if what I'm suggesting is possible.

Look at the name on your faucet, look for a model number.

Google those together with 'parts' and find the part. Buy it

Just buy a new mixer mate. I've been through this recently and it's not worth fixing.

>I broke my sink handle off thanks to this piece of shit piece of plastic holding it to this plunger.
No, you broke it because you pushed/pulled it too hard or tried to disassemble it like an Orc. There's no repair for stupidity.

This is an orthogonal view for reference.

My main questions are the following:

Should I use 1/2 or 3/4 inch plywood for the large surface area? It needs to hold 2-3 people + furniture.

The lifted smaller areas are for storage. What plywood thickness should I use for those? Will a single vertical 2x8 be enough support, or should I add another to the postless sides?

I realized my joist distances are unlabeled, they are ~19 inch apart.

I've googled and found a pdf with instructions for calculating joist spans and distances and such, but I just wanted a second opinion from people with experience, thank you in advance.

>>1036102
I'd play it safe and use 3/4" plywood for sheathing.

OP, you need to realize where your loads are going. You should have a 6x6 for all vertical supports, which you don't seem to have in the front under your shelves. You should also consider the extra strain those lifted areas are going to put on the 2x8 girder at the top.

Also, I think you should put supports under all four corners of those lifted shelves, just to be safe.

Also, that thing is probably going to be heavy as fuck.

Good luck

What's this going to be used for?

Did you take a picture of your monitor

>>1035974
Nah, this was a text message they sent, hence the shitty quality.

Any bug spray from the hardware store will work. They are basically ants.

>>1035917
Will that keep then from coming back (like not wanting to cross the spray line) or will it just kill them like bee spray?


Thanks!

I really think you need a psychotherapist. Who gives a shit if you find a couple earwigs a week? They eat OTHER bugs and plant matter ya goon.

You'll want it to go somewhere and you will probably want to install some drainage pipe in it. Otherwise it will just pull dirt in and fill the trench.

Does the house have gutters over the patio? If so, are the downspouts being led far enough away from the house?

Really the best bet is to fix the gradient and get the water away from the house with gutters and proper drainage.

>>1035885
yeah and fill them with gravel so you dont have an open trench and if your real fancy that black drainage pipe in the bottom
just make sure your trench leads to lower ground so the water has somewhere to go otherwise you just turned the yard to a swamp

water always takes the easiest path so make that path somewhere else

also this is called a french drain
do one next to the patio too work it into the landscaping

>>1035885
It's not a drain if it doesn't go somewhere. It's just a pond then.

>>1035863
>lowering my electric bill
that won't do

But is there a way to use it to power a bulb and use it as a lamp? That's my main question

Clear coat, like the automotive variety. The finnish is what you're missing. Also helps with chipping.

This is the motor. Got it out of a washing machine.

You can see the capacitor juat below. Here's a better image of it.
I am concerned that this capacitor may not 'hold' enough current to power the press....
