/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Stop smoking

/thread
smoking is for degenerates and smoking indoors will literally destroy your interior surfaces.
no matter how much you think you "enjoy" it. its is a disgusting and positively reaking stench that permeates everything

>>1336327
Add a window, install window fan blowing out. Don't make your room air tight or you'll die retard

>>1336327
Don't seal the room. You want to get the smoke out, not hold it in.

What do you have for air ducts? Supply registers or return registers?

You could actually have a HRV/ERV to bring in more fresh air from outside into the home. They are usually installed with an HVAC system but you can use them for a single room. Single room recovery ventilators are something to look at OP.
If you can afford it, get a HRV installed in the overall system. Fresh air is really important with these new homes being built now. Ventilation is a bitch and stagnant dirty air is harmful to the buildings' occupants. If you dont have one, ya fucking should; especially if you're going to be smoking. Your lungs are going to need all the help they can get.

I smoke cigars but I do it outside when i walk the dogs. Also im poor and have roommates.

>>1336394
Thanks, I'll look into it. I took a look and there's actually two 'empty' chimney pipes in the central heating closet, maybe I could fashion one into a supply duct and one into a return one, so I can keep a seal on the door without problems, keeping out even more of the smell. The problem then would be to place them far apart, otherwise not a lot of air would actually move.

I use a herb vape and it's awesome. More potent, doesn't smell, tastes like fresh carrots. Never going back to joints

Pee pee poo poo fart stink ass penis fuck bitch whore ass cunt shit fuck nigger

>>1336327
dont be a scummy piece of shit and smoke inside. you yellow everything and cover it in a thin layer of tar. this is especially worse in a confined area. it lowers resale value and makes it a hassle for whoever has to deal with that room next. dont be a selfish shit. if you want to kill yourself, go outside. or into a garage if you have one

>>1336828
>don't be a selfish shit
It's my house, I can be as selfish as I please

And ffs, I explicitly stated that I'm not looking for 'advice' like yours. If you don't care to give an answer, just ignore or hide the thread. You can shitpost on /b/

You’re decor is shit. I know what you were going for, but none of it ties together. Paint the walls or something ffs.

This is easy. You need an air purification system for the room.

Something like a rabbit air, Google it. This is exactly what it was designed for.

lol well aren't you one pretentious motherfucker. Typerwriters and old cameras and shit. That room is dumb and you're dumb for smoking in it but it's okay because you probably don't have any friends that will ever see the inside of it.

>Hating on fixing old stuff
>On /diy/

Jesus Christ you're sad. Go be a friendless poorfag somewhere else

>>1336865
True, I just moved in. I have grand plans for the room, but I can't very well put my scarce time into a hobby project when there's things like a kitchen, living room and a bathroom to be done, so it'll have to wait for now. I think I'll raise the ceiling so it goes all the way to the top of the roof, get some dark hardwood + grandfather's Persian rug as a floor and dark wooden panels for the walls up until waist level and some Dutch East Indies themed wallpaper something above it. I saw some dried palm leaf wall covering in an indonesian restaurant once, but that's one of those things that just has to work or become fuck ugly

>>1336893

>>1336893

Nah fixing old stuff is great. Being a pretentious dingbat with a smoking room full of old trinkets is what I'm talking about.

>>1336904
You just dont understand anon, a lot of that stuff is from my youth. Stop hating what you dont understand.

>>1336821
I've been trying to get my GF to vape. If she doesn't taste the smoke she swears she isn't getting high.

>>1336327
If the room has negative pressure you dont need to seal the doors. Just suck enough air out of the room. When i was a pot smoking teenager i would just put a box fan in the window facing out of my room. Worked great, mom never knew.

You’re the fucking man who owns the house. You don’t need a man cave. The house is your man cave bro

stop smoking

>>1336904
They're not trinkets, they're functional items I took pleasure in restoring to working order, something you'll probably never understand. I'm sorry your most valuable possession is a used car battery, but that doesn't mean you have to be a dick about others having nice stuff.

>>1336920
Thanks, I'll go for the wall ventilator option then. I'll have to tackle those door creases none the less though, the wall has sagged a bit so the doorway is basically a parallelogram (it's an old house)

>>1336630
Take a pic. Ive got no idea what you're talking about. That might have been for a natural draft appliance.

>smoking herbal jew ever
Inb4 triggered stoners

>>1336327
If your just sealing the door to the rest of the house and you have at least a window then it won't be airtight and you don't need return air, i think your original idea, put a decently powerful, quiet air blower and shove all the smoke up a chimney, a little air flow will greatly cut down on any accumulation of smoke on surfaces, naysayers are faggots.

The room in the picture may be the most pretentious thing I have ever seen.

>>1337414
>>1337493
Hide the thread if you're not going to contribute, how hard can it be. I'm not standing outside of my own house that's sort of the opposite of why I bought a house.

>>1337495
By that reasoning, spending thousands on a bathroom instead of just filling a bucket with soapy water and cleaning yourself with a brush and a washcloth is a larger waste of money. Not to talk about heating vs. wearing thick clothing indoors and burning waste in your fireplace. Or having a kitchen instead of just a stove and a single pot. I'm not poor so I can afford some comfort, of which smoking inside of my hobby room is one. By the way, you say 'going outside for 5min', but I don't like that at all because I can't enjoy my cigarette that way, unless it's mid summer. If I can't enjoy my cigarette, I don't smoke one. If I could for some reason not smoke inside the house at all, I'd probably just quit because it'd be pointless

Idc if you disagree with it, it's my house. You ban smoking in your house, that's ok, a lot of people, including friends and family of mine do, and I refrain from smoking there, of course. It's astonishing how many moralfags (not you per se, but some others) came to this thread like flies to shit, just to tell me to stop smoking. I don't smoke a lot, maybe a pack a week, but when I do, I don't like to go outside in winter like a dog. Of course I'll go out in summer when I finish the patio (or whatever it's called, it's too small to be called a yard without being ridiculous). I find it curious that there's such a hard line in people's opinion of smoking; like with alcohol, you have everything ranging between total abstinence (which is curiously even frowned upon) and raging alcoholism, but mild drinking is considered perfectly normal. With smoking, many don't discern between mild smokers and heavy smokers. You could theoretically smoke one cigarette a month and droves of moralfags will still take the opportunity to vent their annoying opinions.

>>1337506
Why do people care so much about it being pretentious? It's a collection of old furniture and other stuff I inherited from my grandparents who died. What do you suppose I do with it, trash it because some people find it over the top? Some of it is over a hundred years old and stood in my great-grandfather's home in the Dutch East Indies, I'm keeping that for life and I'll pass it down to my children when the time comes.

Ffs I thought the Netherlands were Calvinist

>>1337508
You don't really keep your grandparents in high regard if you consider your own comfort above completely fucking up everything you inherited up from them with yellow cancer smoke.

>>1337510
You obviously have met none of my grandparents.

Easiest option is a carbon filter and fan combo.

Daar zit spul tussen waar menig Amerikaan jaloers van word, omdat die niks nieuws volautomatisch meer mogen hebben.

>>1337800
Oh, wist ik helemaal niet. Im wist wel dat een wapenvergunning helemaal niet zo'n probleem is als veel mensen menen, het is meer dat de cultuur er niet naar is en de meeste mensen het niet weten of de moeite niet willen doen, vokgens mij.

Uit interesse, wat brengt jou naar /dhz/? Klus je veel, heb je een klusbedrijf oid?

Just install a fan and a chimney, it's not that hard. The smoke will be routed from the office into the great outside and if you do the calculations, your AC won't suffer that much and your fireplace won't be destroying your furniture and lungs any more than what's appropriate.

>>1337753
Nigga I smoke weed like a fucking chimney I was baked and knew it'd trigger someone, it worked.

when did /diy/ get hit with all the underage redditposters? I should have known it wasn't safe, being on 4chan, in 2018, but god damn.

>>1336327
there is no installing anything. you lost the game.

Stop smoking inside your house you disgusting son of a bitch, it's a good way to immediately depreciate your home value. Obviously your wife doesn't enjoy you doing it either.

But you could just open a window and put a fan in the window temporarily. If there's no window install one. If you're in the basement install some vents that suck the air out. Also close the normal A/C vents when you smoke or else it gets in your whole house.

>>1336327
Smoke outside like everyone

>smoke what

just buy a carbon filter kit and install it on you chimney hole nigger

>>1338248
>muh secret club

If you had actually been here a long time like you are insinuating, you would realize that this site as a whole has demographic and culture changes pretty much every year or two.

Though im going to be honest I cant tell who you are accusing being "reddit"

The OP for being a faggot "born in the wrong generation" man, or the people ragging on him for it

>>1336630
Those are for combustion air. I assume you have a gas furnace?

>>1339582
Yes, but the thing itself has since gotten a new chimney which combines intake and exhaust. The two empty ones were presumably for an older furnace that has since been removed

>>1336643

Ok so here is what I did at my house
I told the bitch if she didn't like it get the fuck out. Since I fuck her bananas I knew she would stay. Man up

>>1336327
Try vaping, it's mostly the same ritual and you get your nicotine fix, plus no second hand smoke issues and no foul stench, you'll be able to vape literally anywhere.

I just quit vaping and ordered a carton of lucky strikes from spain. thanks, asshole

The best Is don't smoke inside. I hope you got some garden.

Post more pics of the room. I love that sort of thing.

>>1339986
This. Old furniture with history is cool.

>>1336327
Buy a bathroom fan piece and attack an activated charcoal/carbon filter on the output end. The carbon can be bought for cheap at fish stores as water filter material. Youtube or MacGyver how to make that into a working filter or buy a gas mask filter for 20$ online and attach that to the fan. No smell = no need for a ventilation hose. Just seal the air in the room so it has time to filter out before your house reeks

I'm afraid it's being used half and half as a storage now, with all the moving and renovating, but I'll try

This is a Javanese drawer cabinet I inherited from my grandmother, I believe it was her mother's when they still lived in the Dutch East Indies. My grandmother used to have her TV on this to watch The Bold every day

This is probably the oldest piece of furniture, a Japanese lacquered cabinet (from before the Japs turned evil and attacked the colonies, of course). It was my great-grandfather's, but now I use it to store and display my camera collection. I regularly use them, in case anyone from /p/ is lurking

Javanese small chest, probably from 1st half of the 20th c. Idk who it belonged to or what it did

Klewang, a KNIL Dutch infantry sabre frequently used in the Aceh war

This cabinet was my gf's grandmother's, it's not very interesting historically but it houses a cheeky minibar

Small table with wood carvings, Java 20th c., inherited from my grandfather

Dutch school map of the colonies, 1920s or 1930s

And then there's the desk, it doesn't look too special but it was my great-aunt's who died in ww2. From brain cancer though, not from Japs

Stop trying to spin it like they are heirloom pieces
EVERYONE has had old furniture given to them for one reason or another and most of it gets thrown the fuck out.

Most antique furniture is rickety and shitty, doesnt matter how much time the original person put into it. They really arent useful as everyday furniture.

t. someone who has an uncle who made a living refinishing antiques in the 90s, then got stuck with a small warehouse full of projects he never finished when the antique fad died in the mid 00s

Years ago my family routinely got antique shit given to us, and occasionally still do.
I think a single dresser is the only thing that hasnt gone to the fucking dump.

>>1341422
>muh millennial boogeyman!

What generations think its ok to keep trash laying around?

Obviously not OPs parents who arent >muh millennials.
They are the ones who pawned off supposed heirlooms onto their kid for him to use and destroy. So much for being important to the family amirite?

>>1341656
Your butthurt projecting aside, you have some interesting points, would you care to elaborate?

>They really arent useful as everyday furniture
How and why is an old desk or cabinet less functional than a new one, provided that it's mechanically sound?

>the antique fad died in the mid 00s
In which country?

>>1341662
>provided that it's mechanically sound?

Nothing, they will work fine if they are mechanically sound.
The problem is that unless it was overbuilt like fuck (which contrary to popular belief they most of the pieces werent, they were simply handmade with good materials which only goes so far) time seriously takes its toll on wood

>In which country?
Midwest in the good ole USA
If you are a big garage saler and thrift shopper you know that antique furniture is flocking the stores again, after years of people trying to sell them. At least thats my experience, and of course my uncle closing his antique store seems to coincide with that.

May be different elsewhere, who knows

>>1341372
Dude, I think that's actually a US 1917 Naval Cutlass, probably a Cold Steel repro.

Kek, I know you from /p/, the Bronica is one of my absolute favourites. With the L grip, mereing prism and a flash you can pretty much do everything a 35mm can whilst keeping it carryable. The Mamiya RZ67 with L grip is basically a lifting exercise so I use it almost solely with a tripod. Also my enlarger only handles 6x6 ans smaller so I can only scan or partially print 6x7, I'm looking into a larger enlarger for when I'm inevitably going to LF because I'm a massive gearfag, but those enlargers are fucking expensive. The rest of the cameras is a mixed bag of SLRs and rangefinders, and some compacts gifted to me by family. At 35mm I mostly use the Olympus OM1 for which I have a selection of lenses, otherwise the RZ67 is my broadest system with three lensea and a fuckload of backs and accessories, I really got lucky with buying a set including two bodies

>>1336456

Well you fucked up really bad mate. You bought a house with your gf. She could at any time leave you and take half of your shit. Then claim that you were abusive blah blah and you could spend the rest of your life paying alimony and/or dealing with criminal charges.

>>1342998
Ffs, really? Why has /diy/ been infested with the worst of each board? Go be a mgtow faggot on /r9k/ where you belong.

>>1336327
Ok first of all soundproofing stops all air exchange between rooms so do that. The doors are very expensive as they are solid and heave as are the seals around the doors. Having said that i highly suggest you do some research and purchase a very high quality solid wood door with soundproofing seals. Two you need an air intake and exhaust system so you can cycle room air very quickly but not quickly enough to cause a major draft or severely alter the interior temperature. Also make that place cozier and get a record player and some source of fire you pleb.

>>1336327
Your air return is centrally located because even with doors shut air can move freely. It’s designed to pull air out of all rooms under doors etc. if you block air from that room (you can’t) but if you did you would throw off the balance to your system. You should install an exhaust fan and smoke near it. Enjoy stinking like shit.

>>1343158
Record player and fireplace are downstairs. Please excuse the mess, I'm still busy with diy shit.

Also, why the heavy emphasis on soundproofing? I'd say that's a bit overkill

>>1341662
the problem is that people dont just throw out antique furniture. and a simple google search for antique furniture restoration nets you those horror show whitewash jobs where they strip the finish, go over it with a layer of acrylic offwhite paint to get that kische look so people wont just give it away. nobody wakes up one morning and decides, "you know what? i hate the look of a well finished timber piece. I think i want to replace all my old stuff with some of that great ikea stuff."

>>1336327
smoke outside you filthy cunt. there is absolutely no excuse to smoke inside.

build a cone of silence with a high powered extractor fan and vent plumbed to a vent in the roof.

>>1336327

A static pressure inline fan with a chimney so you don't have much water ingress, but plumb the thing to a drain pipe anyway, just in case the hot water from inside condensates

negative pressure in the room means that you could potentially even have the door open and still be able to smoke, if your flow rate is good enough and the room is big enough.

But also, Stop fucking smoking. It's bad for you and yours, your stuff, your kids, your wife, and it's terrible for your health.

Either pay to install a proper smoking room or stop smoking

one of them puts money in your pocket and won't piss off your wife

one of them WILL kill you, costs shittons of money, and involves putting holes in your house and ruining a room for when you resell, if you choose to.
