What was your most interesting recent non solar project?

If you're into gore, man have I got a good one for you...

TP-Link has their TAPO security cameras for super cheap these days. 2k camera with night vision, great quality. Play your cards right, and you, too, may become part of the chinese botnet!

Or will you?

Once the camera is set up, you can enable local access through the settings. Then, the camera becomes a standard IP camera, and you can connect it to your NVR. After that, just block that IP from accessing the internet, or place it on a subnet without internet.

Then, you have a very cheap, high quality camera that would previously have cost you hundreds.

TP-Link routers were banned but I don't know about the security cameras.

I wanted to do an independent system but ended up with a few Nest and google cameras. I like the updates when it tells me animals on back porch or the facial identification friend or unknown.

I never wanted a open remote system but the wife loves it. Nice to know when a sales person starts looking over my backyard fence and I can yell at him remotely through the camera.

It can identify smoke alarms and other alarms and report it too.
 
All those cuts and smashes heal, BUT in cold weather they're a bitch. Last year my weight training partner dropped a 65lb dumbbell and it did a bounce roll right onto my big toe. It took almost a year to get that nail back.
 
The bottom "leg" that I put on the engine came down on the toe when I dropped the jack. I was gentle with it, but then the pressure built. So I took a tiny drill bit and drilled through the top of the nail, and let the pressure out. It was a blood fountain.

It took about 1 year for the nail to grow back, the old one I lost completely. It looks completely normal and you'd never know it happened. This is my second nail I've lost, the first being in a finger. And it's regrown normally as well.
 
I see all these pics of flip flops and wonder. I wear steal toe all the time. Even have New balance polymer sneakers Too.

That will hurt for a little while. You may have to drill a small hole in the nail to release pressure.

I filet fish all the time and no issues but keep me away from that Mandolin Slicer

FYI, Quick Clot bandage does wonders but try to take it off the next morning. OUCH! I had to soak it in saline solution for 45 minutes to soften the flesh up a little.

I type a little slow now, you beat me to the small drill hole
 
its them hars. you liek them harey toes.
Soft Jewish toes and pink skin...
Its a foot thing I like to watch....
Nails look rough, should probably not chew them but cut them...
Find a nice Vietnamese toe and fingernail lady to buff them up...

After though:
OK the last time I made jokes like that the fun police showed up an told me...
SO if your offended please except my deepest and most sincere apology for my brand of humour.
And be thankful you don't work in a mine or mill or anything manly because if your bum hurt over some goofy banter you would get eaten alive...

Like I tell all the young guys and girls that start on my crew.
There is no buggery here at the international nickel and dime company.
But if your bent over too long searching for the golden spike rail and something happens...
Tell the foreman before HR so he can come down here and hush the whole thing up...

Shrug, I did similar recently, but on the side of a finger. I used bandaid to keep the flap in place until things were healed over...took a week before it stopped being a problem everytime I changed the bandaid. Was the size of a dime oval and well past the first 2 layers of skin. Down to the size of a pencil eraser. And mostly scar tissue.


Welcome to today's exciting game of "What would the builder do BINGO"

Took the second toilet out and hauled both to the dump today - next cleaned up the wax ring mess.... and what do I find?

Note - when the basement was poured they installed a waste pipe and toilet ring in the floor and it was installed totally correct height and was one of those plastic ones that you have to punch the center out of to access it. Same with the drain for the bathtub.

A - A nice waste ring with closest bolts sticking up from the floor - looking like the original
B - A moved waste ring because things wouldn't fit - but still done correctly
C. - A double ring of wax applied all squished out but otherwise ok
D - A double ring of wax and squished around like a 4 year old played in it... AND broken pieces of porceline .... AND the plastic ring top cut off and just pipe rim fush with the floor.... AND the closet bolts in drilled holes in the concrete - one side in a hole just big enough and glued in... the other is a 1/2" hole and has a wooden block hammered in and splintered.... AND the bolt on that side tilted and leaned out ...

Friends and neighbors the answer is D....

There was a false wall built at the back of the bathroom other side of the tub that left a foot of dead space... so they could move the tub back and forth for the spacing.... would have has to adjust the drain like to do it... and in this case the toilet was moved towards the tub... so I just don't get why ...

They broke the toilet mounting bolt area when they tightened things at an angle - I do recall telling them I didn't like the toilet rocking back and forth when doing the final on it ... so they calked to the floor and tightened the nuts... They covered everything up with wax from the second ring before they caulked it...

So, it would have cost them an extra toilet and paying a qualified plumber to do things right or the GC doing things right in the first place.... WTF

and the thing that gets me is they had to cut the original toilet ring away to do all this damage in the first place... why not use it and avoid the damage?

Why not just do it right? Well, I know that answer - it will last long enough so when the owner is pissed I will be long gone...

as a buyer I would rather know the issues and decide with a work order modification in the event it costs more money

I already made the mistake when I had the basement finished of not having a completion date in writing - I know better now - what he said would take 3~4 weeks took 3 months - He was working on another house and couldn't do that at the same time as he was watching folks do this... or do this himself... so he worked on that so he could get paid sooner.


And watching video on how to correct my current issue - the white stuff used to caulk the first toilet was tile mastic.... rock hard stuff ...

And my solution is clean out all the other junk and install this.


or not - the pipe sweeps sideways just below the surface -

and they hacked off the original flange because the tile is right up against it.... sigh...

This will be my fix, I just need some concrete screws and I need to grind out a bit of ceramic tile to get it so I can sit the thing level on the floor.

Hence my appropriate response. With banjo music in the background :D

Did I miss something ?
Because I still don’t know what that engines is
I suspect a Wisconsin twin maybe a TF or other air coole another t series twin

Nice sandles
Really compliments those toes

Today we have touched upon buggery and foot fetishes
But also toe nail drilling
My work here seems mostly done

I hope your foot heals up soon
Maybe consider some foot protection

Engine is out of a bobcat 610, wisconsin v4. Blew a hole in a piston.

When the exhaust gasses built up in the piston, they escaped in the crank case, then when the ignition cycle came, it blew up and sent the oil dip stick a mile into the air.

Got a kubota 28hp going in.
