𓀐 @-zdSuLHk: i just got a job working with a bunch of 20-25year olds and theyre all fucking slackers who avoid difficult/monotonous tasks that still need to get done and sit on their phone whenever management is not around. theres this very well mannered 80's style fratboy richboy trope who just does the rudest shit like volunteering others for shitwork. then theres one girl here who just shuts up and works. and then they also hired a very knowledgeable retiree age guy to work with us and he just talks and…+

𓀐 @j~dx6W~h: I have a water main leaking underneath my house slab somewhere. What do I need to know for this? I saw water trickling out of my garage this morning and immediately turned it off. I called a big box plumbing service who sent a guy out, he cut the wall where my main goes under the slab from the service junction and said the water is backflowing up to this point, so it's somewhere under the house. He ordered a sonic leak testing guy to come out but since it's the weekend he can't make it until to…+ 1

𓀐 @7GoYB*r9: >>3008007 I think I got it all. Ended up using a die grinder to carve away all the soft and discolored wood. Then absolutely drenched it in timber preservative. I hate this fucking house, the old owners put the concrete render directly on the old weatherboard cladding. It makes it impossible to properly inspect the wood for rot. I think Im going to replace all the windows with aluminum and re-clad the house once I have the funds.+

𓀐 @c_7i-=Gr: Anybody ever use any of that concrete busting expandable foam stuff? Was looking at the Dexpan brand. It’s rolled say it works great for busting slabs and rocks. I’ve got some 1’ thick reinforced concrete piers I need to bust into smaller chunks. Drilling a few SDS holes seems a lot easier than demo sawing every piece+

𓀐 @CxRmcU49: I was just given some machines for free. I don't have any experience making things or using power tools like this. But assuming I have a good supply of hand tools and no other power tools (besides cordless drill) what kind out trouble can I make with these? Anything cool to do with these or should I just sell them to some Mexicans on craigslist?+

𓀐 @wbeyh99s: >>3008248 A typical adult male should drink about a gallon of water a day. Or 3.8 liters. If that can is a large coffee can (about 7 inches high, 4 inches in diameter) that is about half of what you should be drinking a day. So you would need two of them a day per adult male. That is assuming light work and not very much sweating.+

𓀐 @Z?MoaYdX: My office has some kind of wood or floating wood floor similar to pic related. I'm a rentoid, so I have no idea what it actually is. My office chair and other things have left some kind of residue on the floor, kind of like rubber from sneaker soles or some kind of random gunk trampled solid. Now I am wondering how I can remove that shit again. I don't want to crawl around on all fours and scratch it off with my fingernails, but I also can't just douse everything with some strong cleaning solut…+

𓀐 @3SYyPb5c: >>3008380 I didn't do a good job of describing my question. My old water softener was entirely disconnected, pulled off the piping yesterday. But I was still getting water to my kitchen sink. So this MUST mean there is some sort of bypass around the softener, which means there is a mixing point downstream where both paths meet. What controls this mixing point to make sure that once I open the softener back up, I'm not just getting straight hard water still? What forces the flow through the soft…+

𓀐 @ydor9q?S: >>3008515 >Bleach and iron filings for the rust So something that's been bugging me... There's an old fart machinist guy on Jewtoob that made a video about preventing rust in the workshop and he talks about not having any acids in the workshop (of course) and also about making a solution out of lye and water to wipe onto the surfaces of the steel because the basic properties of it protect the steel underneath and if any water does get on it then it will prevent it from rusting. Then he goes on…+

𓀐 @*2gr3Zg*: the front porch light is flickering, i tried cleaning the socket little tab, and then the flickering went from really really fast to like very slow 2 seconds on 6 seconds off flickering. I suspect (with claude's help) it is either the socket is bust, or the switch was poorly done during a remodel. Naively i was just wanting to replace this socket and see if that fixed it, but i can't really figure out how to disassemble it or get the socket out. I have turned the appropriate breaker off and tak…+

𓀐 @gytf2jdH: Got a thing very similar to pic related and while I Iove it and it cuts great when it does, it just keeps eating through blades like there's no tomorrow. I'm around just over 100 cuts and I'm already on my 5th blade. They keep getting fatigue cracks and break soon after. Tried several from different sources and none made much difference. I use recommended speed, I don't gorilla smash the machine into the workpiece either. The only thing resembling tension adjustment I could fine is a pair of sp…+
