What is your question queero?

>>920338
can i build a tower out of two containers without having to reinforce it to shit and it ending up costing more than my house?

>>920339
lolno

bump, so far it looks like 100 amps is about what a 6.5 hp engine can drive. I'd like to drive it without making the engine scream though.

>>919739
This is neat. Keep an eye on this thread. I'll be back in a bit

bmp.

heh im doing the same chair

i would say, a little bit off center, close to the backrest, if you want to keep the hability to lean back a bit, if you dont want that and you want it point fixated, just use a plate and bolt it down on the middle

for my project, i am making the feet by myself with some angle iron, i want to make a standard 4 feet chair cause i want to make it "lazyboy" style, wich means, the hability to lean back...WAY back, and have a feet rest that also pops out as the backrest leans back

Are you going to install wheels on it?
Do you know how much your seat weighs?

yes i will, as soon i get another set, cause the ones i got are not mobile, they are fixed

as for the weight, the seat by itself doesnt weight much cause its totally stripped, no padding n shit, but, its also smaller than the one in your pic, my seat came out of a Fiat...BUT, i do have a larger seat like yours, first ill finish this smaller one to test and see what needs to be mod/change for the larger seat

I wouldn't make anything a plaything for a kid underground a lot of crap that can happen if you don't know what you're doing and even just 1 thing went wrong.

>>918850
No, not at all.

Instead get some culvert pipe and make a small underground bunker with it. Use lots of ventilation. Keep in mind that these are not water tight and will allow water into them. Spraying them with DIY truckbed liner spray on the outside is the best thing you can do to water proof them.

No anon, the building of it doesn't involve and educate the children. Never just do something for a kid, try to involve them in the construction process, not only will it help their self esteem and actualization, but it will educate them and make them more self sufficient.

I suggest instead teaching them to dig viet cong styled hidey holes as well as how to construct man traps to get rid of anyone attempting to capture them.

Realtors are pretty terrible.

We have been getting cold calls (like 20 a day) for a week because we newly own our house in a good area.

>Realtors are pretty terrible.
Yeah I heard, you know why? They are desperate peeps.

>>917662
there is an industry around this, but a lot of people don't even know about it. I think it's very strange.

They are called 'automobile locator services' or a 'car buying service'

Your bank or credit union might have someone they recommend. They will often pay the fees of the service if you get the loan with your bank.

Retaining wall are best with poured concrete or stone/block/brick. Although, because they are ultra cheap, my state's road crews use wire fencing, gravel, and I-beams.

You really should use solid blocks/stones though.

>>916801
so if done properly that could create a less steep slope that could be like a front yard?

It is going to be $$$$$$

Often. You can find the cost of medium sized retaining wall coming close to and exceeding the cost of the house.

Scrap up the damaged tiles and replace them. Self adhesive linoleum tiles are cheap. Cheaper still if you only need a few and ask the store for a box of leftovers on discount.

Silicone is food safe when cured.

this is a question with obvious answers...how is it being asked

aquariums use various products (silicones) that are safe for the fish. if its safe for them, its safe for you.

just use a curved drill bit, duh

>>921735
Only other way I can think of is drilling holes from the outside to meet up, then staking in a small ball bearing to seal the outside(as done for crankshaft oil passages), but I'm not sure if that'll get you what you need.

Sorry, I don't know. I just wanted you to know that, I too is a proud Multi-tool owner since 0 days back! Just bought this beauty. And that I'm browsing this thread.

Very nice! I've heard wonderful things about Leatherman. I hope you enjoy it!

>>919283
If you don't know when to use it, why buy 4?
Why buy 4 in the first place?
Anyhow, I only like to carry multitools on my keys, because I forget them everywhere. I use them when I don't need my toolbag to complete a repair at work. Mostly 2 Phillips to get to a control board.
Good for computers, as you only really need a screwdriver, pliers and a cutting edge.

As for what I'd buy, it doesn't matter. You'll be attracting the elitist faggits here in a few minutes who will tell you that unless you buy a hundred dollar leatherman, youre a worthless piece of shit. Personally, I buy whatever I see that hass what I need. I like lightweight ones that keep it to a minimum.
Protip: no one needs a fucking saw on a multitool. A serrated blade, maybe.

fix

people just love buying useless shit

>>919947
Did you even fucking TRY to think of a solution to this problem yourself?

>>919964
