If you don’t let your lawn go real bad with weeds, I do pretty good with those little 1/4-1/2gal size, not heavy and good enough for a couple rounds of weed spot control.

Also one of those fertilizer/seed spreaders, the handheld ones do pretty good for fertilizer a couple times a year.

Pole saw and hedge trimmer. I have a Fiskars manual pole saw with the lopper that is straight, got a 120V electric one and was about to upgrade to 18V cordless, but the new house doesn’t have many big trees.

The small ~$100 2000psi electric pressure washers are decent enough. Gas had more balls but for the driveway once or twice a year, $400+ and the garage space means the electric one makes more sense for me. The smaller 12”-14” surface cleaner for the electric one is a nice add-on for ~$50.

Hedge trimmer very likely. Cordless electric ones are nice now. And I have the Expand-It electric trimmer now, I got the edger attachment and they sell a pole saw and articulating hedge trimmer attachements for that thing which are tempting.

Generator? Depends on where you live. Extension cords too. I’m sure there’e more. Blower. Shovels, rake, ladder(s), a good push broom for sure.

>> No.2623061

>>2623028
Also I can’t tell you the last time I have needed an axe with a suburban 1/4 acre to 1/2 acre lot. Especially if you’re in a Karen HOA, are you going to be processing firewood at home? You can probably take the axe off the priority list unless you aren’t going to get a chainsaw and/or sawzall.

I guess if you have a real wood burning fireplace, maybe you want the axe to split larger logs, but I haven’t had a fireplace since I came to Florida.

Small torpedo level and bigger 48” level too, probably a stud finder too. Some sort of sander plus caulk gun and joint compound knoifes and shit for common drywall patching and all that, I’m sure those projects will come up as you move into a new place.

Pipe wrench, channellocks, plumbing stuff as you get into your first pluming repair. Make sure you know where your water and electrical shutoffs are.

Speaking of electrical, a multimeter for sure and learn how to use it. At minimum you want an NCV so you make sure you shut off the right breaker.

I’ll be back later with more sperging out. The wife wants attention.

One more

Air compressor, at least a smaller 6gal pancake one might come up on your list fairly quick. And make sure you have a couple good flashlights and lanterns around, it amazes me how completely fucked people can be when the power goes out for a couple hours. Also attempting to do repairs in dark spots without a good area light and maybe a headlamp or a good magnetic work light can suck balls.


Good luck Opie, you’re going to get retarded long lists of proper hand tools and power tools. Get down on a good homeowner 18V system like Ryobi or if you got money to blow DeWalt or Milwaukee so you don’t end up with a dozen different batteries. Ryobi has so much good homeowner stuff that I’m going to shill it even though you said no brands. Then you can jump on a cordless 18V version of any tool or yard equipment instead of running 200ft of extension cords and you will already have batteries.

This year I decided to put a fan blowing in next to my AC in the window because of those sweet summer nights where it's not too hot and you just want to smell the air.

Pink is just regular insulation around the fan, but I need some creative ideas to cover the fan when not in use.

It protrudes a few inches out. Was thinking of getting some kind of heavy fabric and Velcro.

Any ideas?

Calling all knowledgeable electricians!
I've recently almost doubled the amount of sockets in this old (1 per room prior) house I've moved into. Twice now, the same sockets MCB (1 of 2) has tripped, probably 3 or 4 days apart. I've not had more than 2 or 3 things on at most both times.
Should I get a bigger MCB since I have added more sockets?
Any advice helpful.

So just arbitrarily putting in a higher rated breaker for that circuit wouldn't be accounting for the load the existing wiring was expected to handle.
Ideally, you might want to add in a new circuit, but that involves running a new wire probably through walls from the breaker box. And hopefully you gave an open slot to accommodate the new breaker and circuit.

Anyway, you're fucked.

>Should I get a bigger MCB since I have added more sockets?
You are going to burn your house down. Just call someone you are not up to this. The breaker is for the wire. If you add infinite outlets by your logic you might as well remove the breaker entirely. If you didn't have a big load then your wiring or the breaker is fucked.

>> No.2623156

>>2623009
First of all, they're called either outlets or receptacles, not "sockets".
Second, the wire run from the breaker was sized for that breaker, meaning you cannot just install a bigger breaker, or you will burn your house down (if your wire can only handle 15 amps and your breaker doesn't trip until 30 amps, guess what happens when 29 amps is running through that wire).
Safety third, if you're fucking around with breakers, you need to make sure that the main breaker is turned off before you take the cover off of that panel or you are going to kill yourself.

You're saying, "MCB" which, I assume, means "main circuit breaker", but you are almost assuredly talking about a regular breaker. If your main circuit breaker is tripping, you are almost definitely fucking something up very badly and you need to call an electrician yesterday.

>> No.2623204

This

If all the new outlets are run off existing outlets with the existing wire coming from the panel, leave the breaker panel alone and do what anon said if you start tripping breakers: call a sparky (or fire dept?)

You're used to wire nails. They're made from steel wire that's been cut, possibly rolled or stamped, and headed with a die of some sort. They sort of suck. For furniture you'd want to use the modern equivalent of nails made by a blacksmith. A blacksmith would forge out a somewhat conical nail and the modern version of that is cut nails.
As for the poor tolerances, unless you're using a table saw with a fence, you're never going to get flat faces from sawing wood. You need to plane it to fit and because you're arranging your slats in a semicircle you'll need to plane them into trapezoids so they mate up against each other at least somewhat tightly.

We will never run out of marble. It's metamorphosed limestone, it's created all over the planet, and is just as plentiful as granite. Even Carrara, the widely sought after marble, is plentiful - if you can get to it. People say the Carrara fields are mined out, but scientists say there could be massive deposits thousands of feet high - but you have to dig to them. They have no idea how much of the finer marbles exist on teh planet, and the "good stuff" can form anywhere. You just have to find it, cut it, and ship it in a way that's profitable, and if the environmentalists don't throw tantrums opening up new quarries.

Look at it from the perspective of who's paying you, if you fix a hole in the wall / hang a ceiling fan in an hour they most likely expect that and refer you. If you try to charge a hunnid and keep frantically looking shit up on your phone in your truck they will probably be pissed with the number. most people work a job too and will silently compare their rate while watching over your shoulder. I'd suggest going by the project starting out, and try to get a feel for who you're working for giving them a quote, like get an address, search it on google streetview and think about what they are willing to spend.

How hard is it to do fence work?
I bought a house where they put a compost pile in this corner of the yard, and the fence cuts short of our property line for some reason. Can I remove that corner, cut the tree down, and drive a new post where the property stake is?

not hard at all if you can get boots on the ground and do the work

Utility poles sometime have ordinance about putting anything new within a few feet. Check your local regs. Even if not, fence guy was probably trying not to dig into anything the pole may be sunk with.

This is a good point. I worked for an electrical utility when I was a kid, and there was a 3' radius right of way around each pole maintained by the utility.

What does that stake represent?

If it's powder coated like your example picture seems to be, it'll probably outlast you as long as there's nowhere for water to weep into and settle. Come to think of it I'm not sure I've ever seen a metal framed deck that didn't have an overhang roof or the like.

Galvanized and powder coated. Didn't even know that was a thing. And the example with the hot tub is a good selling point, anything more than a couple feet off the ground gets dicey with a filled tub and people in it.

Wood is shit and I'd not hesitate to frame a deck with steel. If need stairs look for those as recovered steel. They're easily cut to length.

Does OP know how to weld? Decks are mostly fabricated in place making galvanizing and powder coating typically impractical. If you build a deck so it can be unbolted (make several weldments with bolted joints) you can have those hot-dip galvanized but that won't be cheap. It's done for some industrial decking.

Box tubing rusts internally when pierced so ignore picrel. Use channel and beam as most industry does. Price check (get at least three quotes from different suppliers) various cross sections and don't ignore sellers of recovered steel posts etc. Fecebook Marketplace is often a good source.

Never tried welding before. I'm thinking if I can build it out of stainless steel at a reasonable price. IDK thought it might just make more sense to just use wood and try to seal against water.
