>another layer of drywall

If it keeps forming you really should investigate why rather than patching it up and ignoring it. There's obviously an underlying problem.

Are your exterior walls brick? Does that exterior wall show any signs of subsidence or cracking?

>>934205
It's an interior wall. The basement beam is fine. My only idea of what might be happening as that that one corner wasn't secured properly to the king studs, and it might be moving ever so slightly, enough to cause the crack to form since the seam is right near it.

What is all the PVC and pump equipment for? To act as a mini jacuzzi?

All you really need is a vessel to hold water, and a drain for said water. Theres a number of ways to do that including building it with hotmop similar to a shower stall, gunnite similarly to a pool.

I've never been a fan of baths and have never done a sensory deprivation chamber, so I assume you float for an hour as meditation? Would the chamber really need a circulation or heating system, or is that a convenience thing?

Where do you plan on putting this thing thats likely 50% bigger than a bathroom jacuzzi tub?

The whole point is that the water temp is very near body temp so it removes the sensation of hot/cold. You're trying to remove your senses.

Circulation system is generally to clean it, but if OP is the only one using it, you could massively skimp since no health codes. Salt water is a bad environment for bacteria.

You also need to use a LOT of epsom salts.

sensory deprivation chambers are filled with brine--basically water that is saturated with salt.
so you need a heater to keep it warm, and you need a filter system to filter the brine acceptably or else it gets scummy quick.
Plus the filter system has to be all-plastic; no metals will last long in that kind of salt solution. Most parts from a normal pool or hot tub filter won't work.

we have discussed these things before.
For a single-person tank, usually the tank itself holds around 1200 lbs of water and then you need to add about 2,500 lbs of salt.

There are spun HDPE agricultural tanks that are acceptably sized, but you'd have to cut an entrance hole in the top. Many of the larger ones have cleaning ports but it's not really big enough to get into the tank through. Cost for the tanks is $800 - $1000.

put it into your _______

Glue it to the top of a nice pen
Make a copy of it and turn them into earrings
Necklace pendant
Put it in a box along with a note that says "I love you but I'm not creative at all so here's this thing. Sex now?"

Buy another thing. You can pay...

remove and re-apply some.Use bleacher to kill the mold.

Get a caulk gun and a wet sponge. Strip it, re-caulk it and use the sponge to pretty it up. Easy day.

>>934044
rip it all out.

clorox it all down.

let it all dry.

100% silicone doesnt mold. it is also a bitch to apply. remember to cut your tip very small and squeeze it under there until it comes out. let it day, and then cut it off with a brand new razor blade so it doesnt look unfinished.

first you need blood and marital ties to continental europe, second you need general ruthlessness, and third you need an intense hatred of the scots. with all of these things combined, you can achieve your loup de guerre

Are you that same guy who also wants to build a submarine, space ship and his own private jet?

i have put heavier stuff than that on toggles but never on the ceiling.

if you can't lift the floor above to put extra noggins between the joists and you don't want to cut a hole then screw wood to ceiling into joists and then projector onto wood.

>>933124
>it's a plasterboard/drywall type ceiling
there are still be joists though right?

>>933124
you could mount a brace from the attic between the joists to give you a better mounting location

or just move the projector location to the next closest joist....

but if its only 12 pounds, and nobody is going to touch it once its up, really..... just use the fucking toggle bolts

>>933128
>if you can't lift the floor above
Above is the loft but the trapdoor to get in is all the way on the other side of the house, which means navigating through my roof.

There are definitely joists, in fact to get a perfect 4m throw distance it's about 20cm from the joist. I don't really want to mount it on the joist because 1) it would move the thing closer to the wall and therefore smaller image and 2) the plate wouldn't sit flush with the boards. I mean I could hide it I guess but it would probably also fuck with the alignment, since only two screws could go in.

>>933132
It would sit on the panel between the wall and the first joist. I also thought of using a brace but it would mean fucking around in my roof. I need this thing to not fuck out for at least 5 years (about when we'll replace the bulb or projector and I can inspect for sag or weakness).

This whole thing has made me realize what a lazy piece of shit I can be when instant gratification is the motive.

Millimetres, the 4 and 5 on the bottom are inches.

>>933109
Upper row is most likely millimeter.
Lower row (4, 5; cut off) seems to be inch, as it aligns to about 25,5 of the above.
100-125 would be 2,5 centimeters, or ~1 inch then.

You moron.

divided into tenths = metric
divided into half/quarter/eighth/sixteenth = imperial

Caps have polarity based on which way they're charged.

>>932864
And this one is charged through Vcc as shown in pic. I guess this is where the fault in my understanding lies, thanks.

>>932832
well basically it is disharging through the ground since the emitter of the transistor is also connected to ground (cap->gnd->transistor emitter->transistor collector->resistor->cap).

>>932824
Honestly, in my mind the necklace is going to be the safest bet.
Just make the necklace long enough it will be under your shirt.

Nail it to your forehead.
Or turn it in to a key chain.

a clip and a chain like it's a pocketwatch.

Why not just code a game, include the cards and make it multiplayer?

>So with robot wars coming back to the BBC,
yes
>i'm interested in building a fighting robot.
yes
>Has anyone here done this?
yes
>what weight class should i choose?
yes

or no, it is up to you

I'm in the middle of building a featherweight axe robot as my first robot. The consensus seems to be to start with featherweights as they are quite easy and much cheaper than heavyweights.
Best place to start is the Fighting Robot Association forum.

I would like to make one.
I'm in Kent... anyone local down for it?

I'd call the Fact Hunt btw

>>931707
>How do we make this happen?
We dont.
You are just making a larger problem than there currently is, which really is a nonproblem in the first place.

The problem is getting it where it's needed. You still need 120v AC outlets for appliances, lighting and devices, and in many cases even two outlets is not enough, so you cannot sacrifice one or both outlets for 20v DC.

It's not worth the expense, incompatibility or inconvenience just to prevent use of wall-warts.
