and what exactly does this have to do with DIY? are you some bicycle riding handyman?

>I turned off the water to the house then the meter showed no usage
Looks like you turned off the water. Turn it back on and check again. It sounds like a leak desu senpai, I'd turn on the hot water in your furthest sink and see if there's air in the lines ASAP. Also, if it is just hot water leaking, turn off the water at the water heater so you still have cold water in your house.

>>961582
Also, your water heater should put out around 120F. You can just barely stand to keep your hand under this hot of water. If you turn it on and it's fucking hotter then The Games dick pics, turn off your water heater breaker now. Also, check your pressure relief valve.

>>961582
>Looks like you turned off the water.
oh shit. That just clicked everything together for me. Im gunna check right now.

As for the pressure, the bootleg plumber mentioned something that the heater is giving a little bit of pressure when it should have no pressure at all. does that mean anything?

I have the mini version of that. 15 years old and still going strong, after 10,000 holes drilled. Great tool.

>>960672
leave Black & Decker alone >:c

whatever you do, do NOT buy anything from Harbor Freight beside small stuff like gloves & screwdrivers. most of the stuff they sell is shit.

>>961401
Basically false. If it's your full time 40 hour a week trade them stay away but for something thou are going to use hobby level go for it.

>>961395
Cheap and corded. Others may disagree, but you should like you will use it very sparingly.

If you find you love the shit, you can then upgrade to decent cordless drill set and whatever else you may want.
And even then youll have the corded stuff as backup if your batteries are all dead and you need to do something real quick.

If It were me I would go with this (49.99 for 15A made by BD is pretty good)

and something like this (corded with a clutch hard to find nowadays, this is one of the few)

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ryobi-5-5-Amp-3-8-in-Variable-Speed-Reversible-Compact-Clutch-Driver-D48CK/205216292

You can probably find a better drill in the same price range, but it wont have the clutch. Depends on how much you value the clutch

I have a clay mold of the inside here I could also glue there to make it seem thicker and eliminate the contour problems on the inside. That'd make the only hard part with the fabric getting in the depth of the nose (which can afford to be a little wrinkly if we just shoot around it).

>fiberglass

>>961200
New to fiberglass, but I just looked it up and it seems like a good option. Would definitely have to smooth out the interior, though. Would some simple sandpaper work?

I never used the water analogy either OP. The analogy I came up with is as follows, and has helped me:

Imagine current as a stream of people. How fast these people are walking is the current. Each of these people is also holding some tangible object, I like to imagine it as a box. This box is the voltage.

To take this a step further, consider a circuit in parallel. When the stream of people hit the branch that goes to parallel, the stream of people is split, yet they are all still holding the same box (voltage).

Imagine a circuit with resistors in series, the stream of people is constant because they have nowhere to split to. However, at each load or resistor, some people must give up their box (i.e. current is constant, voltage varies)

Wire = Hose

Amps = Diameter of Hose

Volts = Water pressure

Watts = Gallons per minute

Below is an example of a high current, high voltage power supply.

So imagine there's a corridor. On one end is a ghetto, on the other there's a KFC.Obviously, there are a lot of niggers going to get dem sweet sweet chicken pieces or whatever. Now let's shift out attention to a certain cross-section of the corridor and see what's happening there. At any given moment of time, there's going to be an amount of nigger passing through that particular cross-section of the corridor. A nigger is hungry - the hungrier he is, the faster he wants to get from the ghetto to the KFC. That's your volts (how "strong"the current is). Then again, there may be multiple niggers passing trough our piece of the corridor at any moment of time. Let's unpause time for exactly one second and count the niggers that pass us in this time. This is your nigger flow in [nps]=niggers per second. That's current - amperes. Difference in niggers are hungry in the ghetto and the are sated in the KFC - there's a difference in hunger level (voltage difference, potential) between the ghetto and the KFC, hence the nigger travel. If the niggers were full at the ghetto, the wouldn't need no stinking KFC - no voltage difference, no current. If there is a voltage difference, the blacks will go through the corridor, but how many can go through that corridor in a given time frame depends on many things, particularly on the characteristics of the corridor.

I think it was my dad who said that. Don't know for shure.

Guys?

if you wear a ring you open yourself to many issues
if you ever rubbed wires together in school to make sparks you know that the wires stick to each other
if a wire brushes you you get a shock, if it touches your ring it may stick, even if it doesn't weld, more on that later.

during a shock the ring has good contact with the entire circumference of your finger and provides a much greater surface area for current to flow. your skin is the only real resistance you have, once the electric is inside you its easy going so reducing your effective resistance by increasing surface area is a bad idea.

if there is enough current your ring will heat up very quickly. if that current goes through you then tough shit your probably fucked anyway, but if your ring causes a short without you in the circuit it will burn you pretty bad, and once its red hot consider what you will do, you cant take it off because its red hot and probably stuck to your skin, so unless you can find a bucket of water to dunk into you just have to scream and bare it.

if you are welding its high current, if you had your hand on the ground and brushed your ring with a live tip you will not be a happy bunny

at school i had a tech teacher who always tucked in his tie when he took a class in the workshop. but he never operated any machinery himself without taking it off.

Talk

>>955119
I already have a topic too. ALIENS. but I dont have a program to record or edit with, it's my last obstacle, i even have a few shows written out

Just talk to yourself, the end result will be the same.

The fuck do they do? I'd try some heat with a roll of PLA printer filament.

>>961608
contact cement, and then clamp it piece by piece with wood clamps?

Just drill some holes and screw them together with some washers, nuts, and bolts.

>what crops grow well in western europe
kek. thanks anon.

the answer is anything. except for what is considered, tropical fruit. for a balcony try climbers. since you dont even know what grows, try tomatos for your first go. probably cherry to make it worth your while. romas are cheap as shit, carrots are cheap. potatos cost 1$/kg here. sweet peas are also great home grown.

Fixing a cat is not at all a guarantee against spraying. I have several that still spray everything everywhere and they are all fixed. Thankfully, they are all outside cats.

Deterrents only work for a short time. Cats also tend to be spiteful. The more you try to deter them the more spiteful they can become to the point they are spraying simply to piss you off.

Yes, you can try that spray. White vinegar is used so it doesn't stain, fyi. So, be careful what you are spraying.

>>960954
Ive never seen a cat do anything you said because of what you said.. And clearly your a shit cat owner so I understand your ignorance.

>>960946
They make a deodorizer spray. You can use it effectively. But your cat may be spraying cause some other shitstains cat outside your house is spraying outside and your cat smells it.. This is notable when your cat is spraying near windows and doors. If its random places like your bathroom/bed room. Its because she most likely needs her litter box cleaned more often shoot for two times a day once in the morning and once at night.

Two types of people in the world mate. Shit cat owners and dog owners.

Go to dollar store and buy plunger.

Or wait 2 hours and flush.

>>960933
your fist can be used as a decent snake/plunger

but seriously, just buy a plunger. every toilet should have a plunger beside it

hot water, not boiling hot though

Here's the little buggers. From what I have found so far, they don't want rainwater going into the vent and putting strain on the sanitary sewer system. The cleanout in the diagram appears to need to be 3-4" above ground for whatever reason, but the cap itself also seems off. That bolt sticks up from sidewalk about an inch.

>>960208
Ive never seen these before. What country are you in?

>>960423
US. Thanks for responding!

That makes two of us. We usually have these on the roof, but this is ground level. I've seen some posts about people having these in their yard and later having sewer issues, no one mentions it poking through their side walk.

I'm hard up for ideas at this point.
