/diy/ - Do It Yourself

"8 watts" (probably 5 in reality) is a lot to put right next to your face.

UV5R is a decent babbys-frist-ham-radio. The UI is fuckawful, chirp makes it at least tolerable, it'll do what you need it to do as a ham radio, but it's a shitty radio. There's a reason they're $30.

If it's something you're serious about, pony up the cash and go for a Yaesu, Kenwood, Icom, etc. The cost is worth it.

>The only way to do that to code is to rewire the house. Not sure I'm up to that unless the benefits are worth it, which is why I'm researching the benefits of having a grounding conductor in GFCI outlets.

The real benefit is if you ever decide to sell the house in the future, you're going to have to pony up the dough to do it anyway. It's hard to sell a house that has outdated wiring. A soccer mom hears old wiring and thinks that her kids are going to die in an electrical fire within 20 minutes of moving into the house.

I ended up getting 9k off on my house during negotiations because it had knob and tube. Did all the work myself and it cost me about $500 to rewire because it's an unfinished basement and everything was easy to get to. Upstairs only had like 3 outlets in in because the house is old so that was a little more work but everything was fairly easy due to the kneewalls. I did end up having to pay an electrician $500 to come move the meter socket outside though. Power company refused to turn off the power unless it was a contractor doing the work despite having no documentation that stated that anywhere.

not fraud, fines

if he put gauges on it, it requires a license. though any refridgeration guy can tell if a system is low just buy blocking airflow on the on the evap coil like with a piece of cardboard.

only an idiot breaks out the gear and taps into a system if they don't have too because it can cause a leak.

i skimmed over the thread and am not sure what filter was purchased, an air filter or the one that requires all the coolent be pumped out and reclaimed, unsoldred and the the new one soldered on.

15 years ago when i was in the field my place of employment charged $60 an hour plus parts. i have no diea what rates are like now.

if the capacitor was for the pump there is no way around it. for a fan/blower, sometimes a pony motor is a cheaper way to go and they last longer, but thats more for walk in coolers than air conditioning.

I'd stick to trail cams and isolated systems that you'd check if something happens.

Or pony up and get some Cat5 wire. It's only 6 cents a foot on Amazon. Phone line should be next to free. Bury that and cable and electric at the same go.

My plan is to just buy enough parts that I rarely ever need to get more parts.
I mostly do electronics, and I don't think I've gotten a single project done since radioshack closed down.

What I have found though is that I can buy a assortment of 840 transistors for like $15, 50 op-amps for $5, 300 LEDs for $5, and so on for the rest of the usual parts like resistors and capacitors.
I figure I'll just pony up $50 and be done with buying anything but specialty parts.

I used to work at a rock quarry. Boss was a hardass.

>yall lost a 10mm socket. No moar tools reeeeeeeee!

Anon drops sledge into running jaw crusher. That motor... it takes a crane to get it out and a semi to haul the jackshaft. It does not fuck around.

F for hammer.

Fortunately at a rock quarry you are standing on natures hammers so we just used them.

One day anon found an odd rock at his house and beat on shit. Discovered it won't break. So, as a joke he brings it to work and throws it in the service truck.

We use it for about a month with some success.

>time wasted beating on shit like Fred Flinstone over buying a hammer must have been thousands of dollars in downtime.

>Total fucks given = 0.

Boss shows up to try and ramrod a 2 day job.

>give me a fucking hammer! Reeeeeee!

Uhhhhhhh.

Bossman we aint got one.

>wtf! Bullshit open the hammer drawer! Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Anon opens it and boss sees rock.

>reeeee wtf reeeeeee ......REEEEEEE!
>you faggots cant pony up $10 for a fucking hammer?

I said "just be lucky we don't have one you hateful fucking prick cause i'd shove it up your ass."

>REEEEE TIMES INFINATEREEEEEEEE!

Got 3 days off. Used it to job hunt. Best descision i ever made.

>>1341284

That small motor gets my also. I was considering a larger one or maybe run dual motors

>>1339036
Lol anon. Nail guns are dangerous as fuck.

Been using these for decades. No offense but if you can't pony up the $200 for it you can't afford nails anyway. https://m.lowes.com/pd/Bostitch-3-25-in-28-Degree-Framing-Nailer/1000301545

Pony up for some 3" lag screws, not the shit shortys that come with most kits.

Pre drill in center of stud or if using an impact: screw in 3/4" then back it out 1/2" and repeat until that fucker is tight.

The wall will come down before the tv will.

>>1335249

I would really like to see a complete chart of all the Q codes. And I mean complete. As in with things like QGG
>send the pony by the next train
Given half the chance to use it I would grab the opportunity with both hands.

>>1326740
you know what goes great with a "tool" bag?

wrist and ankle restraints, ball gags, floggers, and gimp suits. don't forget the pony play community, either.

>Hi, 18 y/o brony here.

Or you're a retarded electrician who doesn't know how to work on a PLC

t. Electrician who programs, implement, tests and troubleshoot PLCs (and also does hydraulical and mechanical work of course, not being a one trick pony outlet installer like most retard electricians who think they are hot shit for knowing how to install a plug)

If you want the best resolution, then you're going to have to pony up for the Fatshark HDs.

Bluehost.com

It's costs something like 60-70$ for a year of hosting, your website name and basic features. Bluehost will help you set up a store, all you'll need to do is make a very hipster logo, make the site minimal but unique, and list products. It does take about a week of work but I found bluehost to be the easiest to work with, they will literally hold your hand as long as you pony up money to host.

Step 2 is Facebook advertising. This will net you tons of views, even buys. First, though, test the site with Reddit with indirect advertising, ex "my mom wants to buy these cutting boards, are they high quality" etc. Just shit it up everywhere.

Facebook ads cost money, Reddit is retarded. I have a site I posted ONCE. I still average 10 views a day on a site I've lost interest in. And, I don't even sell anything.

To skip paying for advertising, send free products to people via Facebook readers or whatever they are. "Likes." Learn to take artsy photos. Where most people daily is that they don't sell the brand, they only sell the product. Make your shit make single moms feel special.

If you have a name let me know, I'll shit out a logo.
