Everett False posted:Everything about this thread tracks perfectly with everything I know about contractors and people who work in construction, particularly in rural areas. The old schoolhouse paid my grandfather to haul off their woodshed once they got a real heating system, and he proceeded to put it up on cinder blocks and live in it on and off for the next fifty years. He also had an outhouse, and I think legally his Troll Shack may actually have been considered a hunting camp. In the 90s he put in RV hookups for water and power and got a camper with a bathroom in it, so he could piss outside and drive the camper to the local campground intermittently to empty it out. This was only when he couldn't find a girlfriend he could scam into letting him live with her. Depending on where you live or what you're working on, permits are a nightmare for actual production. We once had to get a permit from the city to use a client's garage as a temporary workshop for our graybeard to do custom work on site at the client's request, but we didn't need a permit for all of the doors and millwork he would be replacing. Our addition on a "historic building" had to be pushed back nearly a month because of constant, tiny revisions to the plans before we could get a permit to even step foot in the building. Most annoying was when we got our building-specific building permits revoked on a condo remodel because an HVAC subcontractor brought in one too many workers (pre-COVID). We had to reapply for the permits and got almost 2 weeks behind schedule because 4 working men and a production manager are good to go, but 5 working men and no production manager is too many people to allow into a condo Our "historic building" is in scare quotes because the house itself had no actual artistic, cultural, or historic significance of any kind, it was just a larger than average house that was built before the city was incorporated, so the city declared it historic

Rytheric what do you think about Japanese bathrooms where both the shitter and the bath/shower are separate, sealed wet rooms? Seems like they would meet your criteria of keeping the poopy/bathing air out of your living area except for the brief moment where you have to open the door to go in or out of them https://japantoday.com/category/features/lifestyle/12-awesome-features-of-japanese-bathrooms-you-wont-find-in-the-west

Sub Rosa posted:Please share stories from your time as a small town theater actor. Thanks in advance.  Imagine this man dressed as such giving a hamlet monologue in a Scottish accent only to run to an intercom halfway through to announce that the store will be closing in 5 minutes. Most memorable play. So I've been in a few plays I cant remember but this one was for a county level theater competition. We won. The play was about how wonky dreams could be sometimes. We had people jumping out of dumpsters and stuff. Anyway. So the lady I went to rent an apartment with that got burnt down tried to hook me up with her sister. And she figured the best way to do that was to have me perform in her sisters play. It was fun, but I was more interested in the lady hooking me up with her sister than her sister. Cue the whole apartment burning down fiasco. As for the outfit itself. It was my second senior year in college and i decided it was time to try socializing. So I met these groups of people who liked to larp playing Amptgard. The gambeson and "talbard" i made for roughly $200. The gambeson had these awesome wooden toggles that I loved instead of buttons. And the double stripped hemming was a definite eye pleaser. Unfortunately you can't see the toggles under my talbard. The talbard displays my family crest which i thought was cool. Violence warning Ultimately I had to throw it away because a friend and I got bored with foam sock swords and started going after each other with blunted swords. Unfortunately he welded his from junkyard scrap of a lower grade steel than mine. So as we went at it, mine started biting a serrated edge into his sword which ended up cutting across my fingers (hadn't made the gloves yet) and blood just sprayed everywhere. This ended up with people fighting over who got to treat my wound ironically. We decided to wait until we completed our armour sets to go at it with metal again. But one match with sticks later, after taking some damage a more brutal me instinctively reacted to a blow where I crouched down and thrusted my whole body and open palm upper cutted him in his diapham which launched him about a foot or so in the air. So we called it quits after that. So, I threw it away because I never figured out how to clean the blood off and I outgrew the gambeson Rytheric fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Feb 4, 2021 |

Code Jockey posted:hooooooly poo poo there's a blast from the past, I haven't thought about this in ages I know right? When I was playing amtgard, the sheriff of my hamlet was like yo, I can only give you so many artisan and creativity awards at once. I became the defacto foam Smith making things from hoplite shields and weaponry to kingdom heart keyboards and such. Was interesting times. I spent all my money at the time on it leaving only enough for peanut butter and butter sandwiches. I stopped playing because of drama. And after a somewhat real sword fight, fighting with foam just wasn't cutting it. Rytheric fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Feb 4, 2021 |

I thought of this. Have a movable showerhouse and such like that to take with me. But hell if I want to drive every piece everywhere. My current caravan idea was to have a motorcycle on a hitch in the front. (Max weight 500lbs so a Yamaha v star 600 or something) then tow a geotracker in the back. I probably should have went with a pick up and tiny trailer home, but Behmy was for sale for cheap and only cost me a few thousand to make it somewhat functional.

Elviscat posted:I think people are confused because that's not even close to how engines work. So one item of interest where a controlled fail point is somewhat necessary which you can find on the e350 Facebook page, is in regard to the cooling system of the engine. The radiators for the e350s of the 90s were mostly plastic with metal brackets/joiners. All sorts of wonky stuff happen with those radiators over time as the plastic degrades or the pieces expand at different rates, and they just crack to pieces. An aftermarket fully metal one as they should have had in the first place is rather expensive and a plastic one is still expensive, but somewhat reasonable. After you buy a new radiator, the next piece to fail is the erroneously named "quick release" of the heater core intake. The connector is plastic and cracks over time. This however is a perfect controlled failure point though that protects the radiator if you clamp it down regularly without that stupid quick release. A hose popping off is better than your radiator cracking due to pressure.

So, the lady that about wrecked our work vehicle the other day laughing at the thought of me inviting a lady to the water tower observatory then telling her that she has to use the timbershitter; well I told her about the fire pit idea, and she was cool with the idea. She was initially down with tiny houses too til she heard of my issues and now wants a larger log cabin instead which I told her I would be willing to build for her after I build the shitters, at least one MurderHaus and my hemp farmers garage. She also helped out on the hemp farm one day when asked while my tinder dates gave underwhelming reasons to declined. I dont want to speak to soon, but perhaps she may be a Mrs. GroverTruk candidate. She is anti-TimberShitter though so I have to find the best of sconces for them.

This thread just keeps delivering. You got the truck cheap but had to put a "few thousand" into it to make it drivable?? But of the few thousand you spent on it you didn't pick up a rad or finish the exhaust or get a rear door. You can buy a brand new aluminum rad for the old ford V8s and 10s for like $200. And exhaust pipes are also super cheap, especially relative to not hotboxing your truck with knockout gas.

The control fail point is so I dont have to buy another. Tires alone for it were $1450. Then the catalytic converter which was 300. Then I had to replace several control units and the starter myself and a new battery. The starter wouldnt stop starting for a while so I had to replace it and the relay. Then I had to redo all the vacuum lines. The electrical for the running lights were just wrong so that was another 300 to fix. I also had to finds seats and seat belts since someone put the wrong year seats in and didn't bother to bolt them down. Another 300. I also have to redo the suspension as all my bushings are out and the rear shocks are like bent and some day I have to put the sway bar back on when I pull out the front in. Saving up for new brakes and calipers though cause I might as well redo them while I have the front axles out. That's roughly $2000. More if someone else does it. Had no intention on getting a rear door. Those doors only open and lock from the outside and take up room. Going to gave a screen instead. Saving up for my bedrooms french doors which are $500. Over all I will say this beauty will be 11-12k once finished. Rytheric fucked around with this message at 17:19 on Feb 4, 2021 |

If you rig it right you could make a retractable awning that would also seal up the back like a screen would. That would be a power move.

Don't listen to the haters, Ry, put the fire barrel in the back of the truck. Two-and-a-half feet is the perfect amount of clearance around a campfire, and everyone complaining about CO and smoke hasn't considered that the fire will create its own chimney in the roof, naturally, like god intended.
