/diy/ - Do It Yourself

So you got BTFO on /o/ for spending more on that 200k mile accident car than you could get a decent condition one and came here for validation?

>>2800790
>the classic general
It's a containment thread for forum larpers. I also recommend OP go bother them until they have aneurisms.

Suction cup you can get at an auto store for ten bucks will make significant progress on that. Toilet plunger if poor. The metal has memory, you can spring it back. Lots of soapy water help plubger stick.

After that get hair dryer and compressed air i think it is thats basically dry ice in a can. Heat it up hot, flip the can upside down and blast it so it forms ice. The rapid cooldown will cause the metal to contract, pulling on the dents straightening them out. Its real cool.

But just dgaf or get a new door too

Also, heat gun/hair drywr

Also take the door interior off from the inside, get a flat piece of 2x4 so you arent directly hitting the metal, and sneak it thru the x frame on the door, put on ear protection and TAP away at things. Better to do too little than too much with each hit.

>>2800786
I had an old Nissan 200sx with similar damage in high school, but and hang a new door like other anons said

There is a crash bar inside the door that is impossible to get straight again,

I managed to get the door skin straightened out but that crash bar was a bitch and interfered with window glass

Box in the header and finish it pussy

>>2800787
>out of level screw jack
what matters is if everything else is back to level. also it looks like he committed removal of a supporting wall. if it really bothers you you can just put a screw jack next to it and remove or straighten that one. get the correct height while you are at it.

the 2x4 sag in the middle depends on if it's just the 2x4 or if it's structural above pushing it down. use your spare jack to straighten it and then idk bolt some L bracket down the side.

>>2800934

>>2800778
That 2x4 is not holding shit, I'd probably just send some screws up and to make it not sag. The beams look fine. Leave it be.

>>2800778
Not bad at all. Painter here. I can easily take care of it myself.

>>2800908
They do, but store clerks are ever slightly more intimidated by the a hoodlum black over a scrawny white methhead.

>>2800908
>Do you think that white meth heads don't steal stuff?
they don't get a free "get out of jail" card

eBay is full of stolen tools.

>>2800914
So there are a higher percentage of blacks in jail, but that's because they all have a "get out of jail" card? What are you trying to say?

I don't understand why you have to pay for things. Why can't you just walk in a big shop and walk out with power tools for free? The big companies make billions

>>2800714
>Is there a way to fix this?
not by you.

8-watt USB soldering iron kit on ebay.

That's the correct size for that kind of work.

>>2800714
Just plug it in pussy, it's clearly wireless

>>2800703
I suggest sanding it afterwards and painting it if you can find a small amount

>>2800780

you missed the point. OP asked for advice but then just fixed it. so what was the point of asking for advice. can you even read?

Oh look this again

>acrylic bathtub

I feel bad for you son. Those are designed for emaciated trailer park 8 yr olds. You should strip the bathroom and change out your tub, shower mixer, sink and faucet heads. Redo the floors and shower walls. You live in a cheesy pizza box. Your shower valves will leak behind the wall and destroy all your cheesy pizza boxes you live in next.

>>2800726
I'm using a 10L bucket in what proportions should I use it?

>>2800749
I get the feeling the ones i'm using go to shit a bit too fast.

>>2800683
You can only notice it because of the incidence of the light coming in at 90 degrees from the window.
For that, you need a level-5 drywall finish,for openers.
Second, for a ceiling you want the flattest paint you can buy. Eggshell? No way… fuck that. Dead fucking flat. Only thing flatter is popcorn ceilings which disgust me.
You locally sand off any drips or ridges left by the roller. Use a flashlight held up at right angles on the ceiling to see any shadows.
Then go down to the dollar store and get a mini foam roller with rounded corners and with minimal paint, paint over the parts you sanded and try and blend it in.
This is why we use flat, non-glossy paint on the ceiling. Nobody is going to be touching it.
The shot of black people are old copypasta retards.

>>2800869
>You can only notice it because of the incidence of the light coming in at 90 degrees from the window.

Yeah I realized, it's only noticeable in the morning.
But I know it's there so I notice anyway.
I should have skim coated the walls as well but I'm cheaping out because I'm on a budget. Doing the best I can with what I have.
Sanding is doable, I might do that. Thanks.

I guess it looks ok enough so I'll move on to the walls for the moment and if it bugs me I'll fix it.
I'm gonna rent it out anyway.

He discovered the exact same rotating magnetic fields "modern technology" uses today. The wireless you're shitposting on. The same ones that quantum quacks "discover new particles" with in their colliders.

>You post, however (accidentally) does raise a good point. Production and distribution of electricity relies a lot on fossil fuels
Nuclear is the only thing more efficient at boiling water. Unless you want to figure out how magnets work and enlighten us how they should be geomanced, STFU.

>Solar cells are somehow STILL getting cheaper and small scale wind is coming online. I'm not sure if you actually read my post, but you are making the same boomer argument everyone always does where, because a whole system isn't perfect, we shouldn't leave a broken system with little room for improvement.
No, see what you don't understand is how power actually works. Explain how a windmill/wolar array perturbs an archaic hertzian waveform (the same one the guy you shit on came up with it) across thousands of miles . The answer is they don't. That's why there are diesel generators running in the background at all times regardless in order to perturb that archaic herzian waveform You don't just snyc up to a generator using shitwheels and Infared obsidian wafer rofl. How stupid are you?
>Tell me, gas prices will only ever keep getting higher and there doesn't seem to be a lot more efficiency we can get out of ICE, how would you solve this problem?
By stopping green energy regulations and drilling our own oil so it's no longer shipped on Warren Buffets trains from Canada. Too busy with shutting pipelines down I guess (which alleviates the inefficient transport via train rofl). The problem is the power is wasted as heat that could be converted to electricity for use. You could have 200mpg cars this way, but all of them unfortunately would violate the EPA.

ok.

have a nice life.

Even if you have shitty mpg and drive alot .... your annual fuel cost is under

Lol so think deeper and realize the real ripoff is the rent/ mortgage and food that costs much more

Between 30k used vehicles and $5 a fucking gallon gas, theyre trying to phase us out!!!

>>2801290
I bet you believe electricity "travels" and "has a speed" too.

>>2800967
I'm not sure why you're arguing with me when we seem to be in agreement. Solid state means not vacuum tubes. Analog solid state electronics in particular would often need re-calibration by repairmen over their lifetime. As the capacitor in a TV's LC RF tuner drifts it stops picking up channels as cleanly because the frequency it's tuning to is slightly off. Manufacturers knew this, added lots of internal calibration potentiometers, and wrote service manuals. Digital electronics are much more tolerant of component values drifting over time. A serviceman coming to re calibrate things stopped being a thing.

>>2801031
>I'm not sure why you're arguing with me
No argument here. Just some friendly bantz is all. But I do stand by my original point that solid-state electronics doesn't need more maintenance than, e.g., a vacuum-tube whatever from 1972. The shit can and often does work perfectly for years or even decades without any human intervention.
>would often need re-calibration by repairmen over their lifetime
Yes and no. I'm not saying it never happens, only that it's beyond rare in anything made since the 80s. I see plenty of stuff older than me that still has the inspector's lacquer on the pots.

>>2800877
I’ve met older women whose Kirby’s outlived their husbands, and they treat them like some guy who still has his ‘67 mustang or whatever. They made an emotional as well as financial investment in it years ago, and by god they will keep it running. Sewing machines need to be tuned and fixed, it’s a really precise machine.

>>2800849
Every major area has its R2R guys who repair them. When the time comes get on audiokarma and ask around. What will suck with the teac is when one of the channels goes, and the transistor or whatever you need to replace is buried balls deep in the middle of the thing. I had a nice teac I just sold for nearly nothing, just to free up space. It had been serviced just a few years ago, but fixing the right channel issue was just too goddamn much work.

>>2800920
I use just plain old 30w non-detergent motor oil, like what's specified for lawn mowers and small engines. That's what the dude who did the last service told me to use. I've happened across other units that were gunked up but it seemed to be more a case of dust getting into the oil and causing it to solidify.
>>2800983
Is this still available? I haven't had any issues but I'd just as soon use the stuff that they engineered specifically for it
>>2801052
I'll give this a shot, thanks Anon. How much did you get for yours? I see mine (4-track simul-sync) draw pretty good prices online. Got it in the original box from a lady at a garage sale for $100 back in 1995...she said it was used like once, and the condition bore this out. The sound quality is amazing.

>>2800877
I can understand the loyalty. For me, it's canister Kenmores from the 80's and 90's. I hit the motor with compressed air maybe twice a year to clean them out, and they're unkillable. The only bitch is hoses wear out, and then out comes the duct tape...

>>2800534
Not really, Kärcher and Dewalt and some other shop vacs use the same model known as D27901. They come in different ‘grades’ tho with the original Dewalt one being up to €100 and clones low as €10. The expensive one can be pressure washed iirc

Philips and AEG use almost the same model for some normal vacs but those have notches and won’t fit a shop vac

>>2800666
Actually GAL stands for Guste Agregiĝi Litro, which is "Correct Aggregate Litres" in Esperanto, another system devised and used by annoying eurotards to solve a problem that didn't exist.

Drinking and driving, same as smoking weed and driving, or doing lsd and driving, or any other drug, are all a lot of fun until you kill someone. Luckily I grew up and stopped all that shit without having an accident or getting a DUI.

Actually, my stupidest driving was when I needed sleep. Twice I was in location A, then later on realized I was way too sleepy and decided to pull over, but realized I was already at location B and had apparently driven many miles while sleeping or dozing off, occasionally waking up when I ran off the road and hit noisy gravel.

I don't believe in angels or god or anything, but I have to wonder how I survived the stupid years.

>>2800355
I still do it, but I don't enjoy it; like fucking OP's mother.

god damn I've been hitting craigslist free hard. I've restored a grill, got a gig, picked up another electric mower and passed up on so many deals.

I haven't gotten to driving around rich neighborhoods on garbage day in the wee hours yet but I used to score so much shit that just needed a power wash for reselling when I did.

I could be earning 6 figures but I'm fucking off repairing lawnmowers assholes let sit with gas for $50 a pop. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Its a fixed picture window that's glazed at the factory under optimal conditions...there zero advantage in either ease of handling or installation to glaze it in the field (it would be much riskier and more difficult) and field glazing will never achieve the quality level achievable under controlled factory conditions.
>do Americans really?

Know how to design, manufacture and install modern energy efficient unified picture windows that don't need a grumpy old fart with a leather apron and wire rimmed glasses to show up and seal in the glass in using a mixture of beeswax, stone dust and cow dung?

in the late 50's early 60's at his high school you could:
learn to be a machinist.
get your pilots license
learn to be an aircraft mechanic
learn to be a diesel gasoline engine mechanic

>>2801225
here is a cutaway electrically powered radial engine for the aircraft mechanic class.

When I took the class the engine was still there, the teacher was still there, but we were the last class. Teacher was a cool old guy. smoked unfiltered camel cigarettes (in class). there were all sorts of interesting parts and pieces of airplanes like a P-51d canopy. the class was pretty laid back.

The teacher died in 2013 he was 91.

>>2801232
The US was very different before it was ruined. I too miss that world no one after can truly conceive.

>>2801239
yeah. my wood shop class in 7th and 8th grade taught:
wood working
some metal working
drafting
gun safety

we could even bring guns to the class to work on them (make grips or stocks).

teacher kept a civil war sharps breech loader next to his desk.

>>2801225
They should bring that back. I had a wood shop in my public middle school, but not the private HS. There’s a couple technical high schools that train for the trades in big cities, but most of them have become “college prep” and electives are all arts and ceramics and photo class. But these days they just want students to pass the exams and go away for a worthless liberal arts degree and all of the institutions keep getting paid.

>Filter it yourself

If you pressure wash it from the outside and then pump out all the water most of the loose sediment should be gone after a few times. Let it dry out completely for a while. Then fill it to the brim with water and some sanitising agent, leave for a few weeks and remove it. Remaining solids aren’t that dangerous because if they were water soluble they’d be gone already. Good enough to collect rainwater for plants, or as input to a drinking water filtration system

>>2800058
If you pump the water out, you could make it into a cellar of sorts, but document and take photos of anything you find personally if >>2800095 or >>2800123 are right. It could be an interesting historical find.
