Bad Munki posted:My solution: open my own god drat private, invite-only, in-house hardware store: I've started on something similar. Currently the free-standing rack of the red bins from Northern Tool, plus some nifty cubes of bins from a nut and bolt sales display I bought at a swap meet, all sitting on shelves. I'm so proud of myself for finally sorting out my literal bucket of metric hardware for my cars. The SAE stuff still needs to be gone through, but somehow I have less of that. Also need to sort the smaller hardware (<1/4"). When I rebuild the shelves, I'll probably build out a dedicated section for fasteners, including panels like you have on doors so nothing is behind anything else. You collect a lot of hardware over 40-something years. Well, *I* do, anyway.

Convenient for figuring out what drill size to use for a bolt through-hole as well. StormDrain posted:When I was a kid I’d always wonder why my dad knew exactly what wrench he needed. I’m not to that point yet but I’ve got enough accuracy to impress a casual observer. I'm passable at it. Better some days than others.

Azza Bamboo posted:That's what I mean, the company will say it is your responsibility, you'll know it's your responsibility, but you'll also go "eh, I've seen this crane lift heavier. Should work" rather than sit down with a calculator for a few minutes trying to remember something about turning moments. Fun story, I got to watch a contractor get thrown off the site at work for this last week. Apparently they didn't believe us when we told them safety violations were taken seriously, so running down a ladder facing the wrong way and sitting on a ceiling bulkhead instead of using the lift parked 30' away were not going to fly.

I recently learned that loofas are not from underwater sponges. They are from a vegetable or gourd or something. It looks like a cucumber until you peel it. I found this shocking. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoHwaXit5fU

Darchangel posted:I have something similar, which also has inside and outside tubing size "V"s in it. Definitely handy as gently caress. I assume you are talking about "pitch". It is how threads are measured. It states the number of threads per inch, or spacing in Millimeters. Example: 1/4-20 is a 1/4" diameter diameter screw, with 20 threads per linear inch. 8-32 is no.8 wire gauge with 32 threads per linear inch. M8 X 1.5 is an 8mm diameter screw with a spacing between threads of 1.5mm you can count the threads in a pinch, but I use something like this at home:  Corrected, because I am an idiot. schmug fucked around with this message at 13:16 on Sep 2, 2018 |

Waterlogged carpet is, like, a two or three out of ten. Edit: For context, I would rank at approximately eight on that scale (  if you are queasy) a chief complaint of "foreign body in rectum" being in reality maggots streaming between a patient's anus and a large ulceration on his buttock.

wesleywillis posted:Is it really that bad if its outdoor carpet? It would have to be outdoor carpet laid on some sort of mesh with a blower to blow air between the mesh and the real floors and walls, to help it dry faster. And even then you'd never get the soap scum. You also wouldn't see the soap scum, so maybe it wouldn't bother you.

shame on an IGA posted:minor nitpick, metric thread pitch specifies the distance between threads. M8x1.5 has threads that are spaced 1.5mm apart I recently had to deal with getting measurements for a unit manufactured in Sweden and realizing that metric thread pitch is calculated in a completely different manner than standard measurements was one of those things where i had to look at the wiki for multiple minutes to suss out wtf was going on.

best part is I calculate these all the time to get thread spacing per revolution and I still wrote it up wrong. 1/20=.05" space per rev, and 8.5/25.4=.059" spacing per rev.

Found a hell of an ugly McMansion on accident yesterday Apparently the people who built it owned some healthcare company that went bellyup halfway through; Google Earth says it was in 2011 sometime. When you look in the windows, there's nothing but bare studs and floor. Realtor's page says it's $200k, with another $200k of work required to finish it. Looks like the back porch has been worked on a little, maybe?

So this thread talks so much about lovely house design, so what are some examples of good house design and architecture in modern houses? I realize that builders in most neighborhoods are going to build pink brick cubes, but in the unlikely event that I ever get enough money to do a custom build, how does one avoid ending up on McMansion Hell?

Just build a house that's stylistically similar to other houses in your neighborhood, and paint it a color that will annoy your neighbors. Simple.

Basically what Jaguars! said. Pick a style, stick to it, embellish appropriately. Build within your means so you don't have to go for obvious fakes instead of the proper treatments. Vet your GC and architect's previous work and reputations, because the only way you're getting a quality build is if they both give a poo poo.

The horrible jumble of angles roofs seem to be the result of designing a floorplan while completely ignoring how the exterior will look. It's a whole lot harder to gently caress up if you're going to be building a big rectangle.
