The other day, a friend said they really liked playing uno stacko at someone else’s place. I just half assedly painted mine, but yellow marker was barely visible for the numbers, so I had to use another color
I’m a self-employed contractor and this was the biggest job I’ve done so far. I guess this still counts as DIY since I did it all by myself? (except for the electric)
I felt like some kind of “what would a Christmas tree in Mordor look like” vibe. So I made one. My first attempt at a tiny bit of “terrain building”, with a very limited colour palette: black and grey.
By way of thanks I offer pictures of this crazy job. I ended up having to run a hose into my house to soak the dryset quickerete. I don’t care what anyone says I’m not mixing cement in my house. The whole slab is supported on top of 2” floor insulation on top of a leveled bed of crusher dust.
I just saw this "Billyboil" brand "Thermal Cooker" for sale at an energy-efficiency store. Initially I was intrigued by the terrible marketing (what on earth would be a “Non-Thermal Cooker”?) but the concept of using retained heat interests me.
Hey all, thanks for the replies and comments so far, I’ve cleared out as much as I’m willing to at the moment, I’ve started hitting mainly clay and stone and I’m getting a fair amount of water in the clay (is it possible this dirt is actually attached to outside dirt?)
Hey, I’ve got a cold room in my place that is concrete on all sides, I’m going to be framing it in and insulating and I don’t really need any help there unless there’s anything cold room specific I should know, however.
I was burning a cone incense and left it on the sink, and this stain won’t come off. I tried baking soda, water, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide. I tried letting them sit for multiple interations, and it made no difference.
My enameled cast iron was leaving sharp little blue flakes around, so I decided it was time to take off the enamel. I tried a brass drill brush first, which only dislodged the loosest flakes. Then I got the cheapest Harbor Freight needle scaler ($40), and it worked great.
This is a design I’m working on. The idea behind the wave pattern is so that they can be stacked without losing all too much space compared to rectangular cell packs.
