My house has a small outhouse that is now included in the main body. The outhouse is lower than the main house and has a damp proof membrane under its walls. The problem I got is that the step has the membrane at the top of the step so I'm getting damp on a small portion of the outhouse.

Go rent a 25-50ft medium duty power auger. Looks like 1.5-2in pipe so a small powered auger should be able to get to the 3-4in main line. Once it's not backing up flush the shit out of the system and another tip is don't get the auger hung up in the 3in line they can twist themselves into a knot of sorts. Basically you just need to go as far as you can before hitting 3in+ and getting the blockage out. Keep the pipe taken apart like you got makes it easier to run the auger with less curves and shit

The only DIY I have ever done in my life is putting up a shelf, so I recommend you try that as a first project. Get a drill, learn what your walls are made of, put Rawlplugs in the wall, attach a couple of metal brackets, buy a plank of wood and a saw, saw the wood into the right size, put it on top of the brackets, and voila, you have a shelf. For added fun, you can get a stud finder and make sure you're not going to drill into an electrical wire and kill yourself. The only thing I can think of that's more basic than this is putting caustic soda down a drain to unblock it.

There's a house for sale near my work which says it "requires full modernisation". It has 1970s carpets and shit, but I don't mind that. Is there anything else I will need to consider when looking at it? How can I be confident the wiring is okay? How can I check the plumbing is good? Can I check the roof for leaks if it isn't raining when I go there? I am in England, if different countries have different laws for this sort of thing.

Regular old mild steel is absolutely the easiest and cheapest metal to weld, just about every other alloy or metal is a pain in the ass that requires some special bullshit and hoops to jump through to weld effectively.

plumbing question:

Just moved into a house (been apartment and motel living for 15+ years for the job). 50+ years old, was sitting empty 2 months while the landlords had it thoroughly cleaned.

Thinking I may need to get a plumber, but thought I'd check here to see if you guys had some insight otherwise.

When I first moved in the toilets had a gray chalky layer on the surface every morning. Assumed it was from dust or misuse, so I made a point of flushing it 2-3 times a day.

No chalky residue a week later, but water still discolored and a odor accompanies it (previously released when you broke the chalk layer). I reclean the whole apparatus and get those sapphire blue bleach tablets.

Now a week passed since then and the sapphire fades to green or greyish in the span of a day and the odor persists. LL said they've never had any sewer gas issues before (they lived there 20+ years prior to me) but are willing to pay for any necessary repairs.

Anything else I could try before calling in a professional?

I'm guessing your house must be old because you have a S trap instead of a P trap. The problem is if you fill your sink up and pull the plug, the water draining out will form a siphon and suck all of the water out of the trap. With no water left to trap the smell, you will get the stinky sewer smell coming back out of your pipe. Replace the S trap with a P trap and you'll be good to go.

Archival framing is highly contentious on forums so you have to tune out most of what you read anywhere and what adhesive degrades cels is going to be the hard part because you usually tape things to the board in lieu of more annoying methods. You're looking at UV glass, acid free cotton rag paper for the matte and any number of backing materials sandwiched in. The paints used are cheap and none of them are light-fast or particularly good looking because they're designed to photograph well and be thrown away. Full spectrum UV glass, limited lighting when it isn't in storage, and moisture control from the backing are going to be the most important. Unless you're set up to do framing and matting, asking local watercolor artists where they get their shit framed is probably cheaper and easier. But most watercolorists are fucking retarded and use victorian pigments made from flower petals that yellow under glass in a week so...yeah.

With injection molding, how is the Piston sealed to the cylinder to prevent molten plastic from shooting up into your face past the gap?

I know molds have to be heated, but I was thinking about trying to use wood. My reasoning being that of course the wood is dirt cheap but also you could use a cheap piece of shit CNC router from Amazon to make your molds instead of needing a beefier router or mill for aluminum.

Need homemade head or complete body. Precious old mommy died and having a hard time. Been over a year and still cant bring myself to remove or disturb any of her personal belongings or anything we had setup for her care that went on for years. I stuffed a pair of her pajamas with other clothes and made a replica of her laying in bed under the covers. The head is hard to make right but it is sort of OK with this nightcap hat thing I stretched over other clothes but the ‘face’ wont stay together. Seems like a blowup doll would work good but that would make me feel like even more of a Norman bates style freak than I already am at dealing with all this. I want a mannequin head or something. Would probably be best if I got some serious mental help dealing with my companion and mother being gone forever but in the mean time I want a better replica of her resting in her bed. How can I make a good old lady head that looks like my mom.

Buy a proper countersink for your screw sizes, trying to use a spade bit will be a pain in the ass and look worse.
Spade bits leave rough, inaccurate, splintered holes, they are made to make quick rough holes. In thin material the splintering will be really bad. The "speed" ones with the screw tips at the end are even rougher.

The forstner bit will make a very nice clean hole.
If you are too cheap to buy a forstner bit, making a through hole in small material you are better off just buying a cheap hole saw. Spade bits are unironically shit

It uses the same mechanics as an air raid siren. There are schematics on sites for 3d printing for hand crank air raid sirens. Stukas most likely had them mounted at an angle and used the air passing through it or a clutch/motor so the siren was only on in a dive or when the pilot wanted. Numerous complaints were given by pilots where the mechanism failed and the pilots listened to it the whole way back to base. Learn from that and make a way to stop the fucker from turning.

I've been told that an air impact wrench would require a large compressor to operate.
However I'm not quite sure if that's actualy true.
If I'd be running an 1/2" air impact from a small 24L (like 7 gallon) tank at 8-10 bar with a pressure regulator set to 6 bar, I should be able to run it for long enough to break lose a nut/bolt, right?
Even if it needs a lot of air, that's 96 L of air before the pressure after the regulator starts dropping.

It should work fine for small jobs like that but my pneumatic impacts stay in their box because cordless is so convenient.

Stop!

Go on ebay and search motorcycle turn connectors. The wires given are sometimes too short, soldering will result in a connection you will need to cut after turn signal goes out in 1 year.

The turn signal connectors from eBay will plug into old one on one end, and into your plugs in the other. No soldering, cutting or wiring required. They sell for about $5 and are cheaper to just buy than to spend any time doing any other modification.

[Anonymous No.1933147]

>>1933143
To cut something flush with a surface, leaving as little material protruding from the surface as possible.
they are inherently directional as the jaws are angled, one side is flat, and the blades are tilted so they cut parallel to the flat side of the jaw.

So without resorting to 3D scanning, is there any concievable way I can measure out the dimensions and aspects of this controller?
