How do you make your home look/feel personal if you have a lot of money? Children are not an option

>>1293396>This does not answer the questionI think it did as OP stated making your home feel like a personal space doesnt need money just time and alot of personal touches. stop pushing this well you need to be rich to make your house a home. fuck that shit. YOU make the house a HOME with your own personal touches not shitloads of store bought trinkets that every douche hipster owns
I have jerked off everywhere in my house , and I stay naked at home when I come back from home and edge for hours. I rarely clean up too, my place smells of cum, sweat and metal. Feels personal enough.
No schematics were ever released for his helmet, I want to make an exact replica how would i go about that? I have no idea what the helmet is made out of or how he sees out of it, Any information is appreciated.
Are you retarded? Why would anyone want to do this
>>1293865EDM fags are the worst
>>1293456There are plenty of videos on youtube. Don't be lazy. Obviously this is a custom made helmet, so you won't find any original blueprints.If you want to use led's you should go with individually addressable ones to get better animations.
>>1294028>Marshmellohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALZHF5UqnU4 Looks like lots of other stupid ppl figured it out per this video. I watched about 30 seconds worth in different spots and don't see any lights. And if there are, post em up OP or fuck off.
Its a fucking cylindrical shaped mask. You fucking imbecile. Which part is too hard ?
This white fiber is on my HVAC return ducting, could it be asbestos? The house was built in 1942 and this duct looks fucked up either way, its just some sort of hard material fastened to the floor joists and poorly sealed on the edges with this white stuff and a more modern looking tape in some spots. Should I just replace all of the return ducting? There are only two floor return vents in the house about a few feet from the furnace in each direction. Pic related is backside of furnace where most of this white stuff is.
>>1293551>Exactly average>SmartPick one.
>open thread>everyone is shitting out of their asses and lyingGiven the year, it probably does have asbestos.Having said that, you can't look at a material and know that it contains asbestos.Asbestos is microscopic. You're not going to be able to see it. You get an asbestos testing kit and mail the sample to a lab.
>>1293466>>1293505>>1293626I need to re-do the return air ducting anyway so I'm removing it either way and I'll just treat it as if it is asbestos. >tfw fucked around in the attic all day re-routing electrical and had to dig through blown insulation that possibly contains asbestos, all while not wearing a respirator. I'm so dumb anons.

I don't have much yet; my roommate takes up most of the tiny, uninsulated garage with his woodworking equipment. My dad has a ton of old stuff in the basement, I might ask to take a bunch of things he has extras of (guy gets his free multimeter from harbor freight every time he goes), plus he really only does home improvement jobs now and hasn't touched electronics in a long time.

>>1293770Makita FTW I still have my old nicad 9.6 volt, that I converted to run off of LIPO's, an LXT series drill, 2 1/4 inch impact drivers (one that I found in the street). 1 12 volt small circular saw that I converted to corded. Someone gave me some old Skil (bosch) cordless tools that I converted to corded also. They're ok but someone gave the drill a hot supper. still works but the chuck is a bit loose.

I'm planning on building a coffee table similar to this for my wife for Christmas. Anyone done a similar project or know what steps to take? Seems like it can't be too hard.
>>1293638How would you feel if you came home and your wife was cucking you right on the coffee table you made her?How would that be?
>>1293684Is this how you choose to spend your free time? Someone seeks advice on how to build a small table, you choose to shitpost. Where is your shame? Look at your life man, taking your insecurities out on anonymous people on 4chan. I'm done with this cesspool

So my kid has upgraded to a bigger bed, I figured I'd use her old bed as a sort of gaming station for her bedroom. Would it be best to paint this, or to stick a vinyl wrap on it? bottom image is a shit shop attempt, I know, but it's just a rough idea of what I want to do with it.What paint would I use if I was going to paint it? Also, the left side will be turned in to a bench, I'm going to use the stuffing from a couple of cheap pillows and then staple some faux leather material over it to create a padded bench. Is that the best way to go about it?Open to suggestions.
>>1293509How can I have grandkids? According to all the other anons in here, she'll be a lesbian because I let her play video games.... So, which one is it?

I moved into a new place and one of the toilets is acting up a little bit. It is compounded by the fact that this is a non-standard toilet and I can not just go to the hardware store to buy parts.After flushing, the tank will fill and the water will stop. Then after 30 seconds or a minute I would hear the toilet filling again.I replaced the fill valve. Then the toilet would flush, and I would occasionally hear short bursts of water. Not the continuous flow like before.I then replaced the flush valve, including the gasket, flapper, and chain. This fixed the problem, but now I had to hold the handle down for a few seconds to make the toilet flush. So I did what any self respecting /diy/er would do, and I adjusted the chain length on the flapper. This fixed the issue of having to hold down the handle, but now the fill valve is running about 2 minutes after a tank fill.I have returned the chain to its previous length, but I am still having issues with the water flowing after filling.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
If the water is running after filling, then you have a leak. Not a chain or float issue. Check connections again, clean and reset rubber washers/ seals.If the tanks is not cleaned of hard water deposits, the seals won’t seal and water can leak.
>>1292850Unless the chain is too short and is pulling up on the flapper.I would look at the flapper first, may not be making a tight seal.
>>1292850I had an issue with my toilet upstairs, same symptoms. Cleaned the plastic seal with some vinegar and water, no deposits anymore.
I'm trying to install my old ceiling fan in new apartment, but whereas the old house used only two wires for connecting the lamp (white in one pole, black and blue in the other), the new house has a three-pronged plug instead. I tried ignoring the ground and just plugging the light in like in previous house, but it was impossible to turn off. Instead, moving the dimmer switch from full to completely off only served to adjust the rate of blinking the lights did.The lamp and the fan have a total of four wires, pictured here. Do I have to buy a three-pronged plug, and where do I connect each wire?
>>1293761That's how all lamps in Finland are connected. I can't remove it anyway, since I'm just a tenant here and the cover is built onto the ceiling.Considering how the fan worked in the old house, I presume it could still be installed the same way in someplace other than the one with the dimmer. However, considering the lights blinked at different speeds on any settings of the dimmer, how difficult is it to install any lights on this place in general?
>>1293772Wow, never mind. I don't even know what voltage you're using over there. I just wasted your time. My apologies.
>>1293772are you using led bulbs or compact fluorescent?
>>1293780It's 230 watts.>>1293836Compact fluorescent. The sockets can fit any screw-on lightbulb though.
>>1294056Fans can't run off of dimmers. Ceiling fans require fan speed controllers which have higher wattage ratings. You won't be able to hook up your fan unless the dimmer is replaced.

>>1293191how can i made an alarm clock by my self?
>>1293810what if you print some fancy action figures or dogies
>>1293828You can (probably) buy chips that do all the clock stuff by themselves and just need buttons, use a microcontroller if not, or you could use an RTC and 7-seg driver and use a few extra things on the outside to make it easy to adjust, or you could go full retard with shift registers/flip-flops, and a bunch of boolean logic to drive the LCD. Depends on your goal.

Duct tape for everything is a meme, but what are your most commonly used materials and tools? Not necessarily the best, just the ones you tend to use most often for whatever reason.

They call them drywall screwsI call them general purpose screws
>>1294023This.. I neverthought of it but it's true.I often end up using drywall screws as general purpose screws aswell.They don't rust either can go into metal or wood.. love 'emTop tip
>>1293993Yes it does. It leaves more and harder to get off the longer it's on. We had test cars at GM that would run with this stuff for a year... the leave behind was like concrete. Fortunately lacquer thinner takes it off. Good quality blue masking tape is usually good for 15 days (good brands, not unknown); the time it can be left in place will be written inside the roll. That said, blue masking tape is shit for doing anything other than it's job.
>>1294023>>1294037I like deck screws better for wet work b/c those don't rust (drywall screws will) but generally agree drywall screws are my goto for any dry work that needs general screwing together. And they're cheap... I've a few 5# boxes left over from projects that I pull a few out of as needed.
how do I make an island so that I can live alone for the rest of my life? all the decent land too expensive to purchase.
>>1291552flooding them a bit will help with lowering center of mass, thus providing some more stability. Have in mind that most stable floating stuff has a lot of mass and a lot of displacement, like for example oil rig.

>>1281813>citation neededIf you form your own little country out in international waters, you're on your own. No taxes, but also no military/police/court of law. You understand all this, right? That means anyone with more people and guns that shows up can own your ass... rape/pillage/kill everyone on the island, and there's no recourse for any survivors. So, I'd suggest that if you plan to do this, you plan to arm up to tackle anyone that comes along, and if it's a big swarm of ppl, run.
>cord vs cordless Are their some tools to never go cordless? I.e, circ saw, dremel, jigsaw etc?I'm a Joe homeowner.
Depends, can you reach all places in your home with a cord?If yes I would only get a cordless drill and driver.If not go cordless.I would only use professional cordless tools myself because they tend to be more reliable on their batteries and have a better battery life.with Corded tools however you can just use cheaper brands which would be beneficial for the average Joe.
>>1294032>Joe homeowner.a cordless drill/driver is very handy and most likely to be the electric tool you would be lugging around for repairs around a houseeverything else just leave cordedpick a decent popular brand for the cordless and that will be ok for a long time
>>1294042I have a feeling too that corded will last longer too as in I can leave it on the shelf for 5yrs, plugged it in and it'll work. I don't see my ryobi batteries lasting 10+yrs or any brand really.
I’m looking forward to picking up one of these... Bosch owns dremel and I already have a bunch of the 12v battery line so I have about 8 batteries and 3 chargers

Has anyone printed pp succesfully?
E3d V6 clone good? I’m using my stock one and it’s working great.
>>1292276It's christmas, postal service is overloaded.
>>1293891moved from clone v5 to v6 clone, got to say it was a good move, but now that I want hotter filaments and dual extrusion, I still feed limited. I'm looking into the mini hotend or the small printerbot hotends for a interesting setup.spend a bit more and get an all metal with the new style thermistor and block.idk about volcano clone by itself, max I can go top speed with my (not volcano) .5 nozzle limits my temp to 190 with light fan, if I want to print with a bigger nozzle or different filaments fast, I'd buy a clone and a volcano upgrade, rather than just a volcano kit.
Just got my fourth printer setup. Have two more select minis arriving today.
