Same problem here, but the mistake was my fault, I wanted to nail a picture but I used wood nails on a concrete wall, the hammer broke the nail and hit my hand, I loose it and fell on the cat's head.
Now I only put my pictures on facebook, true story.

>>1078741

that's a pretty bad job for sure

but cherish the fact that he wanted to do that for you at all.

you'll miss it when he can't anymore

for fuck sake why don't you /do it yourself/

>>1078741
you know when he txt you he had probably already done it?
i think you are a dickhead:
1. coathooks should be at an angle so short people/jackets and tall people can use them at the same time.
2. a white wall clearly you don't care at all about your room appearance so fucking boring
3. just fucking take it down and slam some motherfucking filler in the holes who cares?

only problem is if he thinks thats level i dread to think what its screwed into. i kind of hope its just plasterboard and it missed all the studs and shit so it pulls itself out immediately and wrecks your wall.

He's not a bad person and is pretty handy, but he's too damn proud to admit that he's doing something wrong.

Where are the fathers nowadays? Can't wait for 5-10 years when people with trade skills are making six figures serving all these millennials.

The idea that one of these days he's going to die terrifies me.

It will be the first time in my life that I know I'll truly feel alone and vulnerable. He's always been there for me. Whenever i scraped my knee. Whenever I needed him to do the double jump on level 8-1 in the original mario world. When I broke up with my girlfriend, when I came out, when I got married and he hugged my husband and called him son. I don't know what I'll do when he's gone.

>>1080367
Normally I'd call you a fag but that was honestly heartwarming. I wish I had that kind of relationship with my dad.

I'm absolutely sure he wont do anything about fixing it because he's a furry faggot that has no balls and will get constantly triggered from my shit job for years.

i hate doing stuff whit people around watching. i'm always concerned of what they think about how i work. if they smarter than me i feel stupid and slow, and if they are dumber or worse than me at the thing im doing then i cant avoid being condescendent

I owe alot to my dad. He was always my go to guy to teach me how to do/use stuff i had never done before. He was the best to talk to and bounce ideas off of. When i would get an idea about a project i wanted to do i usually would go to his house and get ideas and input from him before i would actually start the project. He was honestly the smartest person i had ever known.

I know the feels about the fear of losing your dad. My dad passed away this year and its been very hard for me.

>>1078741
maybe he though you were into autoerotic asphyxiation and didn't know the length of the noose you used. that way you can do it in a safe manner and still get results.

seriously, i would be more worried about it being secured to actual studs instead of just being screwed into dry wall having it fall off when something heavy is hung on it.

also as long as its in the same spot you can cover the holes with it, you only have to make one more hole to make it level.


sadly i don't have any father cob job stories, my father apprenticed 12 years to become an actual millwright and pretty much did shit to code if not better.

>>1078741
>Not a fan of punching more holes in my wall

You could move the right side up to level, redrill hole in the correct position and the coathook would cover the bad hole.

Not only was it emotionally draining it was physically painful after getting new hardware installed in my back. Picking out the casket, going to the wake, funeral and burial took a ton of opioids.

He was clever and smart. Never got the chance to go to college and that was a big regret of his.

>>1080367
I bet he can't wait to die to escape your faggotry.

Stuff some foil down the hole

I'm gonna do something like that but I'd prefer it to be permanent.

>>1083138
Crimp it shut, then.

>>1083144
It's a 3-inch diameter 3/16ths wall pipe famalam.
I'm probably gonna get a stick welder soon for my personal use and use it for that since I have almost no interests other than my trade

answer this guy plox. I want to know the siutation of cat aswell.

>>1080115
gold anon, honest.

>>1083118
Got pics? sounds pretty cool. Welding is love and life.

So i got a somewhat father DIY thing
Dad passed away when i was like 9 so i got nothing recent. Always blaim his death on why i was such an antisocial shit in high school and grade school.

>Dad being dad
>dad wants front porch
>Dad has no front porch, and dont want to hire a company to make front porch
>Says fuck it and starts building a huge ass porch which looks like an expansion of the house the same size of the house, got no picturs since we sold the house and i was kiddo
>First few months, nothing more than a simple concrete and plank construction site. Concrete support pillars under it and planks as a soon to be floor
>BEST PLAYGROUND FUCING EVER
>Playground doesnt really change much, dad often works real job, only get to meet him every second weekend since divorsed parrents and he works the other weekends to match it up. Often goes to work in the U.S at a nuclear power plant there, often for entire summers.
>all the vietnam stories from his boss
>back to track, some year later the construction site magicly looks decent. Not like done or anything and you really have to work to get into the door.
>Be a years or so later. Dads done the imposible.
>Worked like maniac and got the thing fixed.
>Its like an entire fucking one story house. Walls, door, roof.
>Dad spend a lot of time on porch, or in nearby town with gf
>Pass away about a year or two after completion.

Entire place was beautifull. Made as if a company of experienced carpenters did it after years of work. He loved it i think, he always had some plans on expanding it or painting it, but we all liked the colour of the wood.
Fun thing how there was a room that was pretty much incomplete inside the house itself on the top floor. Scary place.
I miss dad.

>>1083167
Now is welder. Dad was a good one i have been told. Worked illegally with it a lot. He was also a electrician which i never heard or saw shit of ever.
Worked at Swedish and American nuclear power plants in his life, but only in the US when i was born. Man was rich. His house didnt have the porch in any bluebrints so people who bought it didnt have to add any money into the purchase. They also threated to sue because of the incomplete room. Bloody faggots.

>>1080367
Man or female?
Asking because some things in the thread made me wonder

Pipe is smaller than I remembered but I'll still have to block it.
I really should paint it before winter.

>>1083176
Fancy as heck dude. Would feel proud having it myself. I love everything in the DIY area, reminds me of the times when everyone wasnt a useless pussy buying everything.

>>1083176
It almost looks like there's thread on the end of that pipe. Can't you just put a cap on it?

>>1083181
It's threaded but I think the threading's FUBAR, I'll check

>>1083176
How is it supposed to work without a chimney?

>>1083184
I think it's just too big to retain heat properly. The openings between the lid and the bottom and the ones on the side should be enough.
Could be wrong though, I really am far from being a pitmaster.

>>1083186
Co/ck/ here. Looks pretty compact. It'll do a decent job, and you can use that chimney to regulate air (and therefore heat) to the food. Post more pics.

>>1083172
What's it like being retarded

Hay in todays world he could really be a she but thinks shes a he and married a man because he thinks she is a he and that makes her gay to marry a man.

what type of disk were you using?
Ill admit Im not a professional, but I would have used the sand paper flap wheel where they are tiled.. it causes sparks all the time.

>>1080069
>>I am the alpha male of our household
Congratualtions. Your mom sees your dad as the beta now. When you move out, she will seek a new alpha. You just got your dad cucked and maybe destroyed a marriage.

>>1083016
was he still conscious when he was removed from life support? what the fuck?
sorry to hear this

>>1083171
>ave the porch in any bluebrints so people who bought it didnt have to add any money into the purchase.
so wherever you are, if you upgrade your hows and its not _in the blueprints_ you basically throw away money and they just claim the house is a piece of shit and undervalue it?

>>1080367
My dads like yours he can just about do anything construction wise to a extremely high standard. but hes a cunt and didn't teach me fuck all so I've had to learn everything I know myself.

lolno
You can't do that. He was sedated. At that point 4 of the five major organs were struggling and there was no point to be selfish. We let him go with dignity.
I have a twisted sense of humor, it's what gets me through.

I was lucky in that I knew my father and we didn't hate each other. My advice to the anons itt is to put forth an effort to do something together if you don't already.

>>1083318
>You can't do that. He was sedated.
thats weird to think about. Alot of people are afraid of shots, I cant imagine what it would be like to have that needle come at you, but I suppose at that point you'd welcome it.

Was he awake when you were visiting, did he know it was coming? Or was he just really sick and they sedated him then the call was made?

>do something with our dads
I lost mine at an early age, like another anon, I also suspect that is what allowed me to turn into what I am..

>>1083332
He was never awake, he was on life support. He had to be sedated to keep load off the heart after surgery because a machine had taken over his heart's function.
He never knew it was going to happen.
I got to say "good bye" but it wasn't a conversation.

>>1083375
oh, thats probably better.
Sorry if my questions made you uncomfortable.

>>1083415
I don't mind. I'm the one that brought it up anyway.

Dude. If you never have kids thats ok.

My brother and his girlfriend of 14 years are babyless. I assume one of them has plimbing issues but we don't ask.

Their life is so rewarding. They have a beautiful home. Cars, motorcycles, sports stuff. They go on vacations all the time and theyve been everywhere you can imagine including hiking to ancient Inca temples and shit.

With no expensive money pits like kids they get a lot of stuff that they want
