This.

Most decent builders merchants will carry this in stock.

Cheers. Will have a look.

Also I don't have the money to dish out on $20 a piece mounts or frames

Landlord here.

The "no holes in walls" clauses are generally considered unenforceable and are almost always considered regular wear and tear in dispute resolution.

Excessive holes like hanging a hundred and fifty pictures, and using wall anchors all over will be considered excessive by most jurisdictions. But a couple nail/brad/etc holes to hang photos are fine.

why not just find vinyl sized plastic covers and velcro those so you can switch out the vinyls whenever. Kinda like yugioh card sleeves but huge.

Will pic related work?

You need to redo the whole thing, this time properly and cover it with shingles, your sheet is degraded in sunlight without the shingles, it will only get worse

TLDR you need to demolish and redo the entire roof

Don't use it to cut through rolls of wallpaper. Killed mine stone dead.

>>1030318
dont force the cutting discs into shit with the force of a thousand red hot blazing suns, let them do their work

Don't play with them in the bath/shower. Sure. it seems like a good idea to save time by doing work while bathing but it damages the tool and the electrical shocks suck.

> Not that I'm trying to draw 15A from a single outlet, it's spread out.

There's probably a single wire running from the fuse box that branches out to the two outlets. You'd still be putting 20A through one wire.

>>1030226
No. Not without rewiring. There would be a huge risk of fire if you ever accidentally draw more then 15 amps.

We had a dumbass do this in our kitchen before we bought the place. Built in 1951, it had the entire kitchen, refrigerator and all, on one 15 amp breaker. So if you ran the microwave and the toaster at the same time it would trip it. The fuckwit previous owner put a 20 amp breaker in there and by the time we bought the place the wires coming off the breaker had had their insulation cooked off. He was not happy paying for that fix before we moved in let me tell you. He paid for the minimum and just put in another 15 amp breaker after fixing the wires (ie cutting the burned bit off). After a few months I got tired of it and ran two new lines into the kitchen light should have been done in the first place. One exclusively for the fridge and one for an additional outlet on the counter to take the load off the rest.Haven't had a problem since.

Ever tried looking for local lumber suppliers?

Maybe talk to a contractor and find out where they get their lumber?

Same. Anybody know where I can find some cheap as fuck tongue and groove? Doesn't matter if it's ugly, I'm just going to pain it.

4x12? 4x8? Son you're gonna need a real lumber yard.

>I made a headphone mount

>>1030105
You didnt make shit, all you did was screw a premade hook into your desk

thats the point, im looking for something ez to mount controllers

>>1030070
just looked online
some are microwave-safe and refrigerator-safe

I'll probably be using these for almost everything unless you guys have a reason not to

>>1030070
I have so many different containers that it bugs me, too.

They make glass tupperware if you're worried about your boys (as you should be)

You mean JB weld OP? Depends on the stresses, and I'd guess the best you're going to get here are good firm "maybes" followed by arguments back and forth as to why or why not. Actual welding would be another story.

>>1029844
Gonna have to replace the jamb, and probably some trim. Im sure you did a lot of damage

No one has to kick their door down. You are a degenerate who was too lazy/drunk.high to get a locksmith in a pinch. Fuck you.

>>1029845
the jamb looks fine though

>>1029847
true but it was a fast and easy solution

>>1029718
Table saw and a drill press to start with. From there, get/make what you need when you need it.

After being a hobby wood worker for 10 years, I'd say avoid it. Almost everything I built out of wood I'd rather was out of metal. I ended up in a never ending loop of making more wood working stuff so I can make more wood working stuff.

I'd recommend a jig saw, an angle grinder and some sort of welding setup if you really wanted to get into wood working

--Totally not AvE

I'm guessing that due to the risk involved, it would cost a lot, but I'm curious to read what people say.

Everyone I talk to seems to think I am crazy
>why would you build underground
>your house is going to flood

To me you get the best insulation possible, so maybe the heating bill would be cheaper, along with not worrying about outside noises, airplanes, traffic, and so forth.

I really don't see why more people don't build underground

>>1029673
Yeah, bump.

machine 1

Standard full size machines like that, its usually 3/4 MDF for the cabinet
It doesnt take water very well, and it looks like there is a lot of water damage.

What kind of electronics and shit are in it?
Did someone throw new decals on it or something?

Be a man and butcher an animal yourself
