It could've been sitting for a few years and the ethanol rusted up the fuel tank. Adding gas stirred that shit up and it got sucked into the filter or carb.

>>2808970
Only if it's Hellman's. Duke's won't work.

>>2808814
if you pull the carb just stick it in a jar of fresh gas for like an hour and stir it once in a while. no need to clean or rebuild it.

A butcher block what?
Pre-stain can be made by thinning linseed or some other resin down with varsol or something.
It couldn’t hurt… cheap insurance, but it’s not magical by any means.
Likewise, if it’s not dark enough, add stain to the finish layer (make a toner).
If it’s for food contact, be advised that some oil-based producs—while good—may have poisonous metallic catalysts in them (e.g. cobalt salts).

Here is a typical scenario.
U.S. company opens up or buys a little canadian company (called a shell) and then that company rents a parcel of boreal forest from the canadian government for clear-cutting with the promise that the original species of trees will be replanted there <wink wink> afterward.
After the trees are cut down and turned into toilet paper (pretty typical), some of which is re-sold back to canadians for exorbitant prices. The “shell company” mysteriously goes completely bankrupt right after receiving federal subsidies to keep it afloat. Then, nothing gets replanted.
This cycle then repeats.
It’s been done this for many decades now.
Although, canadians shouldn’t be angry, this happens in the U.S. with U.S. shell companies on U.S. resources to larger degree.
Look at uranium mining and the promised clean-ups that never happened. It’s a brilliant system, really.

Rebar is 100% a scam by engineers and construction companies to add finite lifespan limits to any construction

>>2810320

Engineer here

Rebar is not a scam

But for a shed it is. Code allows for plain concrete for this sort of thing. But anything under 600 sq ft doesnt even need to go down to frost. OP is caring about possible aesthetics here instead of just fucking building the damn shed

For a shed, I would do maybe half the depth. The pipe is dumb as fuck...it would probably make it worse desu. a rebar in the middle would also be worthless unless youre going up with block. a mesh cage would be the tryhard thing, but it would need to be wider than 8" to even get enough cover and contain most of the actual pier.

I want a Swim Spa inside my house, right next to, between the bathroom and the bedroom.
swim spas are great, its like a giant hot tub.
like 6 to 8 ft wide and about 15 or 20 ft long.
with the water jets action, you can "swim in place" or just float around back and forth or just sit in it like a hot tub. max comfy

Quite literally a coal shovel

>>2808595
>what is a good brand?
It's a shovel, just get whatever they have at your local hardware store. Brand doesn't matter, just make sure to keep the edge sharp.

>>2808595
>what is a good brand?
whichever one they have at the flea market that weekend. it's a fucking SHOVEL mate if you can't pick it up and tell it's good or shit then you deserve whatever rubber handle amazon tin shit you get.

>>2808625

yeah, nope

>>2808627
Ask your mom, she shovels the most

>>2808627
Recommend a #4 coal scoop.

>>2808700
there this thing called gauge anon, if shovel didn't matter there would only be one maker of chink orientation.

perhaps a framing system like this? i like how thin it is, but what i see is that in the picture the glass is attached to the wall. so im not sure how load bearing a frame like this would be. especially since im considering using insulated glass (because its a highland terrarium)

>>2808592
I’d try and use those structural glass holder-togethers like in picrel. They make all kinds of shapes for this stuff, like corners. We have smaller ones for things like glass stair and balcony railings.

>>2809081
omg awesome. thank you for the suggestion!

>carefully transport them back to your basement and wait.

this is the kind of heartless cruelty that first world whites thrive on

I work in pest control so this is the exact opposite of my job, but if you want spiders in your home get house plants(no lavender, mint, or Cymbopogon), easy access to food and water(I would recommend small, shallow water dishes and a outdoor garden, having it overgrown is actually better here), and spots for them to hide in(normally this clutter but maybe old egg cartoons and crumpled newspaper could do the trick).

>>2809430
imagine not putting the lesser species to work for you. How much would I have to pay a person to live under my house and eat all my bugs and stay out of my sight and never make any noise? If you're a communist then you would be suggesting the government appoint a person to live under a given house and eat all the bugs and not even make any money.

>>2808586
Add night lights to your basement. Insects will be drawn to them. Spiders will thrive on the easy hunting near the lights. Amber lights seem to work the best.

I'd work on that rock area, make it nice to be in or out of the the patio. You can get free rock if you're willing to shovel it from people's yards. Sometimes from the street.

Drainage was my first thought, make sure there is an skirt upslope to the house all around the house. That alone is often enough to keep water from seeping. The trick is it has to have somewhere to go, if the front is sloped away then just a skirt will be plenty.

you don't sip the grounds you stupid fuck. they drop at the very bottom. you have to be a special retard to drink those too (the only liquid you lose is about <2% of the full cup's).

I wonder if even grounding is unneeded. Maybe they are permeable enough. That would be the ultimate scam (that we don't even need to pay the premium of them grinding them for us).

I used a French Press for a bout a year and it was some of the best coffee and best coffee times of my life.
then for some reason i started messing it up and it came out too strong or too weak or too hot or too cold. seems like i could only keep doing it right for a year and after that nothing went right and it just sucked

>>2809159
You're drinking the grounds because your method is just the cupping method but instead you're tipping it back and sloshing it down. I guess you don't notice when you're used to rough things grinding your throat.

>>2809172

Ego. I have a snowblower (in Colorado), the mower and a leaf blower. I recently restored and sold a Ryobi mower and the difference is night and day. I mean the Ryobi was fine but Ego just chose to do things right. Four batteries (2x4ah 2x5ah) going strong after five years.

My last mower was a husqvarna 4x4 Awd mower and this spring I refurbished two other gas engines, so I'm not some fresh off the boat avacado toast fan boy.

>>2808452
as noted I just had a Ryobi for a minute. It was 40v 4Ah, the original battery was dead. You used to be able to revive them by removing the shell and tricking the board with a simple connection but they redesigned them to remove that feature so now when the board says it's been too long it will stop working no matter what. I put a cheap chinese battery in at 1/3 the price.

The mower itself was light and the drive was actually very good, I demonstrated the mowing and the drive during a garage sale and it walked up my curb. The drive on the ryobi works without engaging the blade which is a nice feature. Also the Ego run on one or two batteries the Ryobi model I had was single battery with a fake second slot to keep your spare batt for when it dies on the back nine.

I'd still go Ego myself, I hate the Ryobi battery. I still haven't found an electric that feels like you're cutting the grass and not combing it, but it cut just fine. I used it in mulch mode, it also had a bag.

I firmly believe that the problem with electric mowers is they took a gas mower design and added an electric mower. Nobody looked at the technology and asked "what is the best way to use an 80v 4Ah battery to cut down and/or pick up grass?"

This guy is putting Ceresit CT82 adhesive mortar without any further additives right on polyester in a thin 3-5mm layer and applying a fiberglass mesh, alkali resistant or not. Does that seem to you like a procedure that will make a good swimming pool or pavement?

If that’s what he’s doing then no.

I didn’t watch the video other than skimming it. It’s 43 minutes long. If you want me to argue the validity of his methods, I won’t. I seriously doubt most of the people I responded to have a clue what they’re talking about or watched the video either. They weren’t commenting on the video. They were commenting on the op. I even said to go check out how to videos. What did I say that was incorrect? You’re completely dismissing the context of the thread and the posts I responded to.

>>2808435
This video is for SCC. This is a different method than layup and requires a different mix and methods. OP’s video is “actual GFRC” albeit using poor methods.

>>2809144

I've decided to just weld the thing together. I don't need to use aluminum, i can make the whole thing out of steel, so i can just stick weld the fucker together. The extra metal from the stick will probably make it air tight.

Thing is just a prototype, not a production model. If it leaks i'll just haul it out and add more metal.

Only one seam to weld and you'd be working with something already built to hold pressure so it ought to deal with vacuum better than most random shit you'd throw together.
