Painting is a pretty low-skill requirement job and it could help fill schedule gaps.

Read the laws first, then. Here in germany, for example, you can dodge most of the permit requirements if you know how. Won't bore you with the details, but it's really simple stuff like declaring a house a shed for the first seven years, or feeding your grass cuttings to your children's pets to legally be considered a farmer.

And if like my family, you start from an old house that
a. isn't part of residential zone development
b. isn't under special protection because some historical person lived there or something similar
you can basically do whatever you want as long as the roof height and the length along your plot's borders remain the same, and legal requirements for firefighting and sewage are complied with.

Can't tell you what your local laws are like, of course, but starting from an existing farm would probably be easiest, legally speaking. Maintain the main building, place some "sheds" around it, then rebuild those sheds into living spaces.

>>2797515
i think if you aren't rich, the only way to do it would to be work construction jobs and get away with stealing building materials for a decade or 2.

>All that shit still has to work smoothly if one of your pals gets divorced and has to sell their share
this is the biggest issue in plans with living, but we're all friends that go to the same orthodox church and have connections through godparents
we see eachother almost like family
and since we're orthodox the likelyhood of divorce seems very low, not simply because theres rules against it but also because it teaches people to be as good of a person as you can be to your spouse
never seen an unhappy marriage in my church, and those who get married usually have several children
also only two of my friends are actually married, one being the guy who's interested in this thing like i am
for the row housing, i dont know if that could fit the legal definition or regulations, because the living spaces would likely be shared
and if by HOA you mean home owners association or something, the structure will be built on wooded or farm land
>>2797855
i dont think farmers are legally treated different from normal people, the only difference is that they arent subjected to the laws of a town or city, but still are to state and county laws
and while i'd love to build off an existing structure, the majority of farmhouses in america are massive mcmansions nobody can afford or shitty mobile homes, which i dont really want attached to a structure like a castle
and since a home on a property makes any land retardedly more expensive even if they're really dogshit and old its completely unviable to buy land with a house on it
for example heres this farmhouse near me, the house itself would only be worth like 250k on its own but because whatever boomer asshole owns this thinks his property is worth much more than that he's selling it for 2.5 million
https://www.landsearch.com/properties/dorrance-ks-67634/3305551
its also important to note that the average price per acre is only $3000, so the land should really only be worth $35,000 at best

>>2797862
some quotes i've heard for housebuilding online come at like $100 per square foot
its not from what i've asked any construction company or architect, but if i can keep it at or below that value its attainable
it should especially help that they'd essentially only be doing the exterior walls
also i said i'd have them do the roof framing, but truthfully i dont know if i trust construction companies to even do that well anymore
my biggest fear is that they'll just want to charge millions for simply stacking some fucking bricks instead of making a shitty cardboard house™

looking at this sort of roof design it seems like i could viably construct it myself, especially given the fact that you're apparently supposed to use green wood for roof framing
i could probably construct the bulk of the frame on ground level then pully it up to attach it to the walls to avoid the danger of constructing it ontop of the building

>can you explain or summarize what's wrong about this installation?

There is nothing wrong with it.
I usually 'lace' the valleys instead of cutting the overlap unless the customer requests it but with 'architectural' shingles like yours, cutting works better.
They should have put a dab of sealer on the exposed heads on the final cap.

>>2797451
Looks like a straightforward roof. Also looks OK.
Those gulleys could use some flashing. My old roof didn’t have it and all the shingles went really bad in that area. New one does though.
How much did yours cost? Mine looks to be your size and was $16k.

>>2797553
Cost $7k with certainteed shingles. House is about 1700sqft single level. Just hoping it was installed right in case I ever need to use warranty.

socks, keep your feet clean and dry
consider a car instead of a tent
a lot of homeless in the america live in cardboard boxes
find a piece of hardwood for a walking stick, if there are abandoned homes anywhere look for a closet rod. banisters too but those are usually too big. get a penknife and your walking stick can double as a carving project to kill time
make lockpicks from metal in discarded windshield wipers. the bin outside an autoparts store just after a rain is a goldmine
look up penny stoves
idk why you want a battery pack it's extra shit extra weight and you haven't even tried being conseravitive with your only electronic device (phone) after charging it all day at library.
good shoes means boots right?
your clothes bag is your pillow. get a pillow case for dirty laundry to keep it separate from clean. consider how you will wash clothes (pubic restroom sink is a good choice, drying always sucks ass)
consider a hammock/mosquito net for bed
a painters drop cloth (clear plastic) is a better lighter tarp for rain. you can get free trashbags from bins if you find a janny who leaves extra clean bags when emptying.
source dumpster food this can be restaurant or grocery

first try not to need anything then consider if what you need can server multiple purposes (hammock/net replaces tent) and what is lightest/most compact (clothes bag replaces travel pillow)

remember that you have no ties to where you are, you can walk or hitch to greener pastures.

Strip the exif, if you must. While the drawing is nice, there's not much context there...while I can tell that there's a house where the sliding door is, it would be helpful to know what lies outside the boundary of your 9x14 area.

>>2798046
that's not a very good answer. also 4chan strips exif data...it's been that way for like a decade broski.

Nothing matters outside of the boundary--thus the picture! The door is just included to make it clear that nothing can be within a few feet of that central open area. But if you absolutely must know, outside the gate is a pathway to my cuckshed and through the sliding door is my wife and her boyfriend's bedroom.

Good advice, I checked my local marketplace and was able to find a corded circular saw for a low price of ten dollars, that seemed to be the main thing I needed. Now I just probably need a place to cut the boards. I've seen the black workbenches on YT so maybe I will pick up one of those today as well.

>>2797197
Pallets are a good idea, one of my neighbors used pallets and chicken wire to build his own run. I don't really like how cheap they can look so I'll need to look into good paints for it. I will definitely take this opportunity to learn about carpentry. I don't feel it's going to be anything major, more common sense-based than any real difficulty.

>>2797214
That sounds like an easy way to make their coop. I'd probably add a tarp for cover if all else fails.

>>2797388
I like these sketches; they help me imagine what way wood should be pieced together. Most of them are huge though (considering that I'll be free ranging for most of the time).

I'm going to use a modified shed, this way I dont waste time + money on making a coop from lumber and sheet metal that's going to be sub-par anyway (since I'm not a carpenter) because it's better than a pre-fab which will also be sub-par. I did consider the large kennel but it's going to be slightly more difficult to predator-proof and it won't have as much of a nest feel as an enclosed shed IMO. Ventilation and sunlight are important but I want to make sure my chickens feel safe enough to roost (I think indoors is better for nesting boxes). I usually see people build the kennels and add a coop inside.

>>2797704
Oh and if my flock fails for any reason I can always use the shed for storage!

The ESP32 has builtin SD card and I2S peripherals, so that should work. If you won't do drive headphones you need to take that into account with your DAC IC. Either get one with buil-in heaphone amp or add a separate stage.

Since actual information like what types of lights and what kind of controllers you plan on using is "subject to change", just wire it in general. Piss easy.

>>2797048
>if it sounds retarded
it is. the whole comes-on-in-step is batman's robin tier gay and stupid. also why THE FUCK would you lay out your blue lights in such a retarded fucking fashion.

street and wall lights 120v with a daylight sensor inline. driveway lights solar wireless.

to actually do your retard shit you just need a light controller, programmable light controllers exist for fancy christmas displays so literally get one of those. the controller will determine the wiring (1 line to each light) so start trenching and get some conduit.

>>2797514
>1 line to each light
Yeah I figured. Fuck that.
I'll just have it come on via sensor and wont bother with the gay shit. Solar sensor with timer for yard lights and for the gates.

They had a bipolar only license to make IBM clone mainframes, but shut that down around 5 years ago.

Maybe, must be big profit margins on that.

I believe they might still be involved in making their pneumatic tools (or at least the same factories) … those were legendary.
Also, electric trains and nuclear reactors but thise things are harder to quantify.
They pulled out of the U.S. stock market like 10 years ago.

>>2797159
>must be big profit margins on that.
tremendous. It's basically a closed environment. the government standards and certs needed for these devices (think immense MRI machines, etc) are so huge that it effectively locks all but the most massive companies out of building them, which in turn means that they can charge a super-premium for actually selling these devices. A major hospital looking to buy a full modern MRI is paying close to 600-700k for the machine alone, sans construction/installation, magnet quench system, Safety controls, piping, control room equipment/construction, etc. They're multi-million dollar machines and most good-sized hospitals will have 3-4 of them.

I learned about Mitsubishi in the 90s when I went over to a friend’s house and he had a Mitsubishi big screen TV and he said his dad worked for Mitsubishi Lasers.

zero turns need both hands, better get a regular lawn tractor for that.

>>2797135

Yeah, Toro makes good stuff; it's a toss up though in many cases whether a cheaper mass produced unit with cheap and readily available replacement parts is worse or better than a more expensive unit that may kill you on parts...that may not be *that* much more reliable.

>mower decks over 42"

Unfortunately zero turns being superior in all ways to "old fashioned" lawn tractors is a big marketing meme these days and smaller lawn tractor deck sizes are becoming fewer and farther between, especially combined with motor options.

Anything under 46" or so is now almost guaranteed to be priced to make a larger tractor or zero turn seem like a no-brainer, and will have a weak one lurking ger motor designed to die within a year or two when used for any sized lawn where you really benefit from a rider.

The other factor besides time to mow and yard size is how aggressively things grow where you're at...we can get 60" of rain/yr and high heat and humidity in the summer so that our lawn *needs* mowing every 4 days, if only because waiting five might mean it gets rained on and then you're at 7 or maybe 10 days out by the time it dries long enough to cut again. A fast mower that cuts as wide a path as will fit makes sense here and having too big/powerful a mower is almost always better than the opposite.

>>2797179
my parents have one these first generation 42" Ryobi zero turns, while it has had quite a few electrical issues over the years (batteries, multiple control boards and both blade motors were replaced under warranty) the overall design makes for a much more compact and maneuverable machine that is great for working in tight areas and hillsides. the electric motors have loads of torque, no louder than a hairdryer when cutting and is stupid fast when cruising around.

traditional zero turns still have their transmissions linked to the same engine but the electric drive motors are completely independent of each other and can fully spin you around in a single spot, making it way more precise than a gas model. its a good idea that just needs to get the kinks worked out. last time i was at Home Depot they had rows of them getting rusty out front, which is definitely bad for the sensitive electronics throughout the mower.

go to home depot and buy the cheapest rideon they have...
why the fuck would u buy a zero turn for home use

or buy one of those automated mowers, i hear they work ok
