I specialize in helping landowners with Forest so I have a bit of a bias. If that’s what you have here’s your options

>have it assessed for Timber. You may be able to sell some wood while also managing the forest for long term yield
>look into local government subsidies for the same. For instance in Ontario if you have more than 10 acres of forest you can have your property taxes slashed by 75%.

the first thing you'll need is an engine lathe, probably mid size like 16" x 54", preferably geared
this will allow you to turn your own hammer and nails
to be able to use a screwdriver, you'll want to use your mill to cut notches in round stock

everyone's first DIY project beyond that is usually a steam engine made from supplied cast iron

You can use a chisel or scraper or utility knife to remove any loose material and then caulk the edges with painters caulk (not silicone) and smooth it with a wet sponge or your finger to get a uniform bead and to pack it up into any gaps and crevices.
Plaster will just shrink and crack/ crumble eventually and silicone doesn't take paint well.
Picrel is what you want, just basic caulk.

Heatpump is 100% worth it, because it costs about as much as propane to run, but you won't run out of electricity. Depends.
>Seems like they are pretty much all heat pumps
Yes, because they are sold worldwide, and people like to use them for heat in warm places. And even cold.
A valve that turns AC into heatpump is really cheap, like 10 USD on aliexpress, so they tend to install it anyway.

Oh yeah, multi-split is hard. One mini-split - easy.
If you're gonna do it, here are couple suggestions:
1) get copper tubing bender (to avoid kinks)
2) apply refrigeration oil on flaring tool before flaring
3) apply refrigeration oil on thread when tightening nuts.
If you dont have AC oil, you can use engine oil or whatever, just dont use lots of it.

Their feelings towards you as a patient arent going to change their core philosophies. Its going to directly impact their prescribed treatments and recommendations.
Its a gigantic red flag you even talked politics with a GP, let alone learned all about his deeply rooted beliefs.
I expect doctors to vote right wing simply for tax breaks, but if they bring the shit up like they are invested in all of the other stances and platforms its a huge no go.

You go to a holistic quack doctor, you get quack holistic advice
You go to a nigger doctor, you get affirmative action college degree, borderline illiterate advice.
You go to a far right doctor... Lets not pretend they havent recently championed stances that are militantly against doctors and treatments and the medical field in general.
Doctors have constant, ever changing procedures and protocols and continued education. You dont want a doctor set in his ways, or too arrogant to change.

Reminds me of Essential Craftsman clamoring on about how he's too much of a pussy to use a CPAP, so he just tapes his mouth shut at night. Then he gloats about how everyone should be skeptical of anything their doctor says, just go ask your friends about what treatments they should do!
I do love that he came back and threw a huge disclaimer on his second video about how fucking dangerous it is and how it can kill you if you are ~70% of the population.

Not a single person in the country was forced to take a vaccine.
It was hilarious watching the "private companies have the unalienable right to run their business how they see fit" crowd get extremely assmad that businesses actually decided to run their businesses how they saw fit.

New drugs and treatments come out every single day.
The advancement in drug and medical technology exponentially grows.
That isnt new, the politicization of "new drug bad" and the petulance of "no doctor will tell me what to do" is whats new.

If your fucking DOCTOR of all people has fallen for this rhetoric, good luck getting any actual good treatments when the rubber hits the road.
Those who were scared of the vaccine werent so scared to ask for it after the fact, or to take even riskier and unknown monoclonal stem cell treatments as they sat in the hospital on a ventilator.

Great, you didnt want to take the vaccine. How many more treatments going forward are you going to ignore from your doctor when you have real illness?
Are you going to find and keep a doctor who is afraid of giving you new better treatments?

So for context, my CRT TV identifies as a grayscale CRT, despite being born a color TV. I want to for the 100th time take it apart and see if there's anything sus looking that I replace or reflow the solder on in the hopes of fixing it. I got sick of discharging it via screwdriver so I made this....thing.

Will dumping a bunch of electricity down the earth pole of an outlet flip the main breaker (considering that only ground is connected)? My electrician friend was kinda unsure about it, I think he said something about the breaker measuring the diff between neutral and earth and as neutral isn't connected it might be fine.

No, it shouldn't trip the breaker. If you have a GFCI on the circuit you discharge to then it might trip. Even if it does, just reset it. If your wiring is properly grounded you'll be fine.

as long as the tv isn't plugged in it will be fine.
current imbalance protective devices like GFCI operate on a difference in current detected between line and neutral, you aren't connecting anything to either of those.
if your tv was plugged in and charging the cap when you short it then some of the line current would leak to earth and it would trip a GFCI.
overcurrent protection typically is on line only, not ground. so that won't trip either.
you put some impedance in that thing right? put a couple megaohms in it and it won't bang when you use it, but you have to hold it on for a couple seconds.

First off, I know that the numbers aren't accurate, but getting accurate numbers is too much effort to add nothing to the concept.

So this system where you funnel 100lbs of water down from 10x10in to 1x1in should theoretically raise the water pressure to 100psi. But it doesn't. Why not? I know I'm dumb for asking this but there's no stupid questions. So what's missing to make this not work?

not an expert on burger units but isn't psi pound-force and not pounds?
you're correct that the pressure from the weight from your object would increase by a factor of 100 but hydrostatic pressure is only dependent on the height. just think of it as a one square inch tube that goes from bottom to the top. it has a weight and exerts a force on that one square inch.
but i'm not going to do hydrostatic calculations in burger units, i don't hate myself that much yet

I've posted this before, but make sure there is no residual flammable material in the drum when you drill the hole, especially if it is closed head.

After working for 6 months earning 1800 a month and saving away 1600 and then switching jobs and earning 2140 for 3 months i blew away my money. After this experience 1k is all that remained of my balance and if i lost my job that was it . Luckily I have fought hard and although my intitial reaction was fear and heavy anxiety, it planted the seed to want to work more and harder and really love grinding. That's why i am starting my second job this saturday to increase my monthly salary by 19 percent. I know have 2,9k in my bank account and this taught me to be humble, build an emergency fund, learn that i can fuck myself over worse than inflation or goverment and that I should spend money by investing in myself when I got the chance. This thread isn't about me, but after making many threads, I really haven't heard anything from 4chan that spoke to my predicament or inspired me to hustle and work more/hader. Let's go!

So why did I post this on /diy/? It's because you guys know money is time and you're livingin reality about the fact that you have to exchange your time for money, so yeah.

I'm trying to repair my EXCAVATOR by myself so i can continue to dig under my neighbor's house. It is fucking old, so it is hard to find all the components I need on internet and some of them haven't the ID. I found a manual:
"KOMATSU PC02-1A and PC03-1 operation and maintenance manual"
But the PDF version of this manual costs around 100$!
Is there any website where I can find this PDF knowledge for free as it should be? (I tried with my already known websites but nothing).
Thanks

This. Gonna have to get nonlinear with your search, and probably learn what would otherwise be a bunch of unnecessary things on the way.

You know what? I don't want to know.

I'd just buy the manual. A quick google search popped up a couple sites selling the manual for $60 or less. Once you have it, scan it and upload/torrent it to spite them.

Don't pay for digital manuals. It's a Mexican scam. Only buy copies from eBay

>how do i use this thing properly?
i work in not so disciplined company i guess, and i barely got any instructions, or different one from each person(no bad blood, just how it is)
>is metal bits on magnet big deal?
should i clean them off after each hole, and obsessively make sure magnet is clean, could it be weakening the drill? also i take bit longer than other people, do i use bit of force. also how long do blades last usually?

If you're using the only kind of magdrill I know of which is essentially a little drill press on a big magnetic brick, yes cleaning that shit is important. If you have chips and dirt on the contact points you risk the drill moving and you're fucked.
Do it right, like all processes the setup is important.

Yes, metal is what the magnet holds on to.

I'm doing a front windshield replacement on an old car.
OEM seal was a butyl seal with a copper-ish 12v heating wire inside to heat it up for easy install/removal. Replacement is not deliverable. Is applying a thin heating wire into a butyl sausage and DIY'ing a viable option?

>> No.2623985

Weird. What kind of car? All the new stuff uses urethane adhesive. Any reason you can't use that?

How do you fill water into a barrel using a hose and barrel that are airtight?

You pump out the air. The water will replace it.

>> No.2624146

>>2623906
>How
Practically speaking?
Fit the hose to the vessel as normal.
Feed a thinner hose through the real hose.
Rotate the barrel so that the outlet is highest.
Feed water into the barrel through the narrower hose by pushing it.
Or drawing the air out of the larger, thereby sucking in water through the narrower.

Use an air vent with a check valve.

You need a spot for the air to go, ideally on top of the liquid you're dispensing. If it's airtight the whole way through, you'll need two hoses; no other way about it. Pic related will keep pressure equilibrated while gravity dispenses the liquid. If it's flammable or reactive I recommend a nitrogen or argon sweep, as well as grounding all containers.
Also, this is a stupid question/questions that don't deserve their own thread kinda post. Post more ladybots now.

lol you have just transferred the problem to another tank that doesn't have the airtight issue
