I have a house with a dirt floor crawlspace. Planning encapsulating which I've researched a lot. Goal is to reduce indoor humidity.
Not a flood risk location due to pretty well sloped land. I've only seen a few wet areas in the crawlspace near the perimeter after very heavy rains or winter melt. I'm mainly concerned with getting water out in case a pipe bursts/leaks.
Only thing I'm uncertain about is my drainage layout. Probably could be improved, I'm looking for input.
Pic related is my current plan. Thoughts?
Anyone know what material I should use if I wanted to make some big ass sculptures? They’d probably be mostly indoor, but I’d wanna move them outdoors sometimes too. I wanna make the original regi trio
Shotcrete quonset hut is the pinnacle of home construction
How much does it cost?
How do I frame the roof?
Are they /diy/ approved?
Can I do it?
Hey anons, chiming in for a concrete assist
>some cuban guys did the neighbor’s driveway
>shit is cash, beautiful to be frank
>hire them to pour a slab for an exposed patio
>they do an excellent job
>looks a little discolored in one spot, pay it no mind after looking up that it would go away, otherwise fantastic
So I pay the man. Few days later
>spot is still discolored
>get closer now that I can walk on the slab
>”discoloration” is in fact low spots (pic related, no more than an 1/8” deep. ignore my lewd footprint)
>concrete guy comes to remove the forms
>he apologizes, says he’ll resurface it and it’ll look great
>sounds good
>he leaves, I never hear from him again and he ghosts me
>lesson_learned.mp4
Anyway I’m racking my head how to fix it. Many sources say to tear the offending part out and repour because anything else is stupid, others say that is retarded and to just resurface or epoxy the entire slab, and others say to grind the surface of the whole slab down to the low spot. This thing is 500 sqft for reference.
I’m planning to get some trowel grade pre-mixed resurfacer (quikrete re-cap) and trowel it in trying to match the surrounding level and broom finish, then paint if it looks too off-color. Is this just a waste of time? If so, any other suggestions?

What happened to the cow post? I was off doing it myself, and came back hoping to see more pictures of cows, and now it's gone. :(
This is Rose, one of our Jersey milk cows.
guys what the hell happemed to doors?
I am in need of an entire door and frame and the fucking hime deopt wants like 380 dollars.
like seriously the cheapest cardboard door and pallet wood frame is insane
what do you guys do to keep going in this hobby? i dont have a fucking band saw i cant make a door
Since buying an RV camper
Time of the year is impossible (they all sell same or next day)
I figure i will just setup a tent and canopys in my friends backyard
So i will probabaly buy a mosquito type canopy net
But i am thinking of standing up some 2x4s and then running cables to stakes so they can then stretch a tarp over top to be a giant rain shelter
Or maybe I will frame some sort of gable roof with some minimal structure and then tightly stretch a tarp over it
Let me know any other ideas or what I should do to improve this idea
Maybe just buying 2 canopys that also have bug screen is a better idea .i want an outdoor kitchen, and also a spot to have a desk to work on my laptop and maybe a couch and tv to jerkoff on you know what im sayin.
Maybe the best idea is to sink a couple 4x4 posts in the ground and then run a 2x4 to connect them, like it will be the ridge of the gable
And then run tarps right to the ground... or to 4 foot tall posts... and it should all be able to be pulled tight and staked
Are there any particularly good books to read or videos to watch when it comes to molding, casting, and making your own jewlery like rings, bangles, and necklace pendants?
Everything now kinda sucks and all the cool accessories of yesteryear go for $500-$1k, so I figure it's best to just learn to make my own at this point and develop a useful skill while I'm at it.
I have a honda glr125 that i have lovingly kept outdoors in favour of my other bikes. The engine is blown, and I have a replacement from ebay. I cant get this bastard exhaust header off.
Important notes:
Bike sat outside for 20 months (sorry)
Bike was blown up because I never checked the oil (it was leaking)
I also revved the little engine to hell and sat most of the time well above redline full tuck
Oh and the time it blew up it was about 2k OVER THE END OF THE TACHY (sorry)
What I have tried already
Removing all the fixings (1 hanger, 1 bolt in the middle, 2 header nuts)
Giving it a wack with a mallet
Spraying shit loads of penetrant and waiting a few hours
Giving it another wack for fun
Swearing at it
>need 3/8-16 x 1/2" to M8-1.25 x 6mm stud with a 7/16" or 11mm hex in the middle
>look online for this retarded abomination
>like $20+, can't even find an exact match
what a fucking scam. i need to buy a lathe.
What is this?
I work on alot of high end houses, think 5 million plus.
I was clearing out a clients furnace room. This room also contains water heaters, pool pumps, pool filters, and a whole house revers osmosis system with several water bladders to keep pressure in the house.
This was laying in a pile of junk. When you plug it in, it spins and vibrates in a consistent way.
There is a weight attached to the inside on one side and a fan on the other.
There is a switch on the wire to turn it on way to close to the unit for it to be submerged in any meaningful way beyond 5 inches.
The home owner doesn't know what it is. I can't find any information online about the company.
Ai says it's a sander.
Google images says it's a pump.
No one I show knows what it is.
Wtf is this. All I can think is it is some type of vibration unit. Like a table vibrator or something.
Anyone got any ideas?
I took 3 pictures of it before folding it up and putting it away.

>I'm new to electronics. Where to get started?
It is an art/science of applying principles to requirements.
Find problem, learn principles, design and verify solution, build, test, post results, repeat.
Read the datasheet.

Let's say I need at least 2000 calories a day, how do I achieve it in the cheapest way possible? From my understanding I will need at least 2 liters of milk if goat(most are like ~68 calories per hundred grams so two liters are almost 1300 calories and I can't afford a cow but it's the same amount of calories anyway) but 100 grams of sheep milk is 100 calories so 2 liters alone reach my goal of 2000 calories so that would be preferable. Are 2 sheep alone going to produce that amount considering from a simple research it shows that 1 sheep can produce from 1 liter to 1.5. I'm asking this because someone with experience might know better than google and redditors. Of course, I won't drink only milk and will need like 15 eggs a day, how many chicken would I need to produce that? Perhaps 20 or 30? And for meat(has to be red meat), which animal do you think would be the most sustainable? I need at least 250 grams of it a day, sheep again?
