/diy/ - Do It Yourself

My senpai runs a (very, very small) business that involves me mixing a dry cement and plaster based powder and bagging it at various weights. My current method of bagging and weighing is incredibly time consuming (basically just scooping out some powder, pouring it into a bag, weighing it on the scale, and using a small scoop to +/- it into the acceptable weight range) and I'm looking for a more slick method to get this done. Any ideas?

The more 'automated', simple and cheap the better.

hey /diy/, /fit/owg/ (olympic weightlifting general) here. I'd like to set up a lifting area in my backyard. I'm going to create waterproof cases for my weight plates and barbell, but I'm wondering: can I lift in the rain, or will it mess up the barbell's bearings (bearings are VERY important in /owg/). Would I be fine with just lubing them up after rain (or would WD40 then lube be a better idea?)?

How do I get gutters delivered to my house for cheap? I need a 30 foot gutter, I'm ok with a seem in the middle, or maybe more, but the less seems the better. I live in a rural area, but there are a couple hardware stores in this small town (one being a franchise, True Value). Not sure whether to call local gutter companies and just have them drop it off, or if I can order through True Value and have them ship it out or something.

Just posting in case there's an obvious /diy/ solution that I'm missing like the idiot I am.
