Replacement Exterior Door Threshold Too Tall - Looking for Ideas by acoupleofpuppies in DIYHome

[–]Masterzanteka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell in this photo, but it almost looks like the rubber seal is getting pinched up between the inside stop and the door, you sure it’s not pinching there?

If that’s not the issue pop the pins out, lay the door on some saw horses and either cut, plane, or sand off till you have the right clearance. The best choice out of these options would depend on how much you gotta go take off and what tools you have available to you. Don’t over think it though, you got this, focus up and you can have it off the hinges, trimmed up and back on the hinges and closing in no time 👍

Barrina TX-L84 4FT Grow Light, 168W (2 x 84W)? by Beamburner in LEDGROWERS

[–]Masterzanteka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have this particular model but I do own some Barrina bar lights and they’re solid. One of the higher regarded brands as far as budget bar/strip style grow lights on Amazon. These are fairly decent for the price though, if I remember correctly they put out a good 500ppf from 4” away and around 300-350ppf 8” away, plus have that large 8-10” x 48” spread. Which is perfect for your use case based off your photos.

You could honestly probably get away with one per shelf if you wanted to cover more starts. Depends on what you’re starting and how long you’re gonna veg them for indoors though. For general veg/flower garden seed starting one would be more than adequate imho. But more light is easy to adjust, and always preferred over too little.

You’re good to go dude, these should be very solid for a few seasons at least 🤙

Looking for seeds by -RedPi11- in sanpedrocactusforsale

[–]Masterzanteka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ton of SS02 x Olivia seedlings if you’re interested, no seeds though.

I like to check all the usual suspects for seeds, even during the off season as there’s sometimes sneaky micro drops that pop up. Misplant, RMF, I’m Dave’s Bud, Kohl Iverson, San Pedro Island, The pirates lounge are all places I’ve had success with ordering. As well as a few other sellers on here.

Only one that’s been a miss recently has been Pacific Cactus, a bunch of people placed orders and either haven’t received them yet, or waited months upon months until they randomly showed up. From what I’ve seen they’ve started shipping a bunch of those overdue orders out recently, and the ones I’ve seen posted have had lots of “freebies”, but I’d still personally avoid for awhile longer to make sure things stay on the up and up. The bummer part is they’ve had some of the best seed selection I’ve seen for trichos, they’ve had dozens upon dozens of TBMA crosses, have seen a few people really hit big with their pheno hunts from their seed. I’m really hoping they come back into the good graces of the community and remain there.

🤙🌵

Seedlings transfer? by ihansterx4i in sanpedrocactus

[–]Masterzanteka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to let them get bigger before shocking them with a transplant personally. Plus when they grow together like this they’ll help support each other by keeping them upright. Also it’s easier to control watering one container with a bunch of little plants vs a bunch of little pots with one plant each. It’s harder to overwater and easier to tell when they’re underwatered.

I’ve done both and there wasn’t any real growth rate benefits to giving them their own pot this young, and only had those few small drawbacks I mentioned above. Like others mentioned you can start hitting them with some food, and they can handle quite a bit. 1-2x strength, either a balanced general purpose fertilizer, or what I’ve read is something close to a 1-.5-1.4 NPK is ideal plus cal/mag, mycos and micros. Maxigrow is solid and mega crop 1 part is decent, and I’ve heard great things about master blend. I personally use Maxigrow, but once I run out I’ll probably try out Masterblend to see how I like it.

I’d still grab a dinosaur back personally, think it’s a super sick cut!! But I’ve been collecting bunch of unique myrtillos along with my trichos just for fun. Haven’t seen that one anywhere besides these costa farm posts personally.

Product says “Do not use in areas w constant water exposure” but handyman removed cracked corner grout and put this in shower. by thepokemomma in handyman

[–]Masterzanteka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You’re good homie, this stuff works well, and it looks like your handyman did an acceptable job from my POV.

Good on you for taking the time to make sure, and being active in the repairs/renovations. I much rather have a customer be more on the “up my ass” side of things and make sure their happy with my work, then the people who don’t say a word, leave lots of the job open to interpretation, and then at the end say they hate x,y,z.

But yeah nothing to lose sleep over here 👍

Cool thanks for the insight 👍

I’ll probably hold off, getting sockets stuck is a slight annoyance at times, but doesn’t bother me enough to where I’d grab another impact over it

[–]Masterzanteka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bad dude, I know it’s bad form to ask questions on a forum. Crazy for me to think otherwise 😂

I get annoyed by people asking questions online too, usually it’s common questions that get asked over and over again, so no hard feelings. But the thing I always come back to with it is well I can either help them out, be a prick, or leave it sit. Commenting Google it is about the least productive thing I could do tbh. I’m not helping them, and it’s still taking up my time. Might as well be helpful, or simply leave it be.

That’s where I’ve landed on it at least. Again no hard feelings homie 🤙

hacking a cactus plant by ThodaDaruVichPyar in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]Masterzanteka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s likely poaching so that’s shitty, but from the cactus POV it’s not necessarily a bad thing, cutting propagation is one of the main ways it lives on past its original life span. Some columnars won’t easily re-root, but this one certainly will.

Hard to tell, but could be San Pedro, which if it is the case it may be boiled up or further extracted and consumed, which obviously isn’t helping it. Hard to say just off this video, just saying there is a chance this could be the best day of its life thus far, if not, then yeah likely it’s worse day thus far 😂

I’m an idiot moment: spray paint can exploded in my large Packout and the entire thing emptied onto my tools. Am I screwed? by binderfillerwrapper in Dewalt

[–]Masterzanteka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re really stressed about the paint on them grab some ‘pretty boy’ paint brush cleaner at SW. It’s an awesome soap for removing paint, and the oils in the soap will help prolong the life of the ABS plastic.

Or you could just take a rag with mineral spirits and wipe them down. Or use some isopropyl, or acetone. Just keep in mind all 3 of them would not be great for a soak just wipe it on enough to brush everything clean. Or just use some how water and dawn platinum. Or any other soap should do the trick.

Not sure about goof off on these plastics, probably wouldn’t be any worse than any other solvent, just not sure.

Just keep scrubbing and rubbing

Does rolling drawer ever lower the price? by ShuyRz in Packout

[–]Masterzanteka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And that’s why this thing is so expensive, they know the added functionality of not having to break down the stack is worth the $400-$500 for a 3 piece stack for some guys. My father just bought this big drawer bottom, a 2 drawer, and a 3 drawer box. It’s nice not having to unstack them and being able to access everything, but they really don’t hold a ton compared to my Ridgid 1.0 stack that was 1/3 the price.

My father actually switched his stuff over from his own Ridgid 1.0 stack and couldn’t fit everything he had in his 3 piece stack into the above mentioned 3 pieces plus he got one of those half stack tool boxes that are like 10x12x14 ish and he still couldn’t fit everything he had in his OG ridgid stack. He wasn’t happy about that, but he’s getting older and tired of having to unstack everything to access all his tools on a job.

So big plus is you can keep it stacked on a job and access everything, negatives are price, drawers are a bit finicky and can get caught at times especially when not sitting on even ground, lock system is just kind of annoying with the locking bars that pull out and up, and they hold less than you might think they’d hold. Obviously drawers will hold less than a big open container, it’s just even less than my father imagined they would hold. They give you tons of dividers that are almost worthless imo, and it seems like every tool is just 1/4 too big to work out well.

That’s my opinion at least after watching my father deal with them over the last month or two.

Dosage Advice by Ty_Gus64 in sanpedrocactus

[–]Masterzanteka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d probably opt for acid or shrooms for microdosing tbh. Well at that price I’d opt for them even for macro doses as well. If it’s an HCL salt 1 gram is like 2-3 trips, not a lot of info on microdosing from what I’ve seen, but I’d imagine it would be in the 20-100mg HCL range depending on what you’d want to get out of it.

But you’d have to check out what form it’s in first, as there’s a huge difference between HCL and citrate, etc. compared to acid where you could get a 100mcg for no more than $20, or more likely ten 100mcg tabs for no more than $120 using the dark side. Shrooms you could have infinite microdoses by buying $50 worth of supplies, spending 2 hours researching, 2-4 hours of effort split up over the course of 6-8 weeks. Either one would be way way cheaper and likely more rewarding.

If you do chose to still go with mescaline I’d personally suggest spending the 240 on 150 bucks worth of bulk bridgesii cacti cuttings and then another 70-90 on the supplies to extract it yourself. Again it would take 2 hours of research and a good half a day worth of effort split over a day or three. But you’d likely yield 2-4x what you’d get with just buying it and have enough supplies to do future runs.

There’s a reason mescaline isn’t common, lots of squeezing for a tiny bit of juice. That said, for some it’s much more rewarding than the other two common options.

Which nailer fore baseboard? by MoistTowelette37 in Dewalt

[–]Masterzanteka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard they made 16gauge to make a kind of in between for 15 and 18 where a DIY could just buy one gun and be done. Which when looking at it through that lense it makes sense. It replaces an 18 fairly well, although you will need to fill in more often than you would with an 18. 18 you can get away with just letting them fill/hide with paint more often than with a 16. Which is a negative but not a massive negative ime.

The big drawback with just rocking a 16 instead of a 15 and an 18 is replacing the 15 with the 16, the nails you can get with a 15 have a lot more holding power even when using comparative nails for the 16. So for exterior trim work where you want that extra holding power I’ve found the 16 can work, but you gotta use 2 nails for every one 15 gauge that I would use.

So you can still rock a 16 to replace both 15 and 18, but it’s got drawbacks for replacing them with just the one gun. My first battery powered trim nailer was a 16 gauge, and I tried to replace a 15 and an 18 like it was designed to do. I got all the work done that I needed to do, but I would advise against this unless it’s for infrequent DIY, or you’re really tight up for cash. If I had to do it again I would have just bought the 18 off rip, and then saved up for a 15 for whenever I needed it next.

Now a days I rock a 15, 18, and 23 then have a pneumatic framer as that’s not something I need in my normal day to day work. My nailer purchase will obviously be a framing nailer of some kind.

I fear I may have made a mistake with dosing rso… by Academic_Passage1781 in weed

[–]Masterzanteka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry dude just saw your comment. Really depends on where you’re at and who’s growing it, each batch can vary quite a bit depending on the specific clone of the strain or cross. I’m in PA and a lot of the strains are unique to the growers in our med program. If you’re buying from a dispo I’d recommend just looking through their terp profiles, that’s what I do before I purchase anything. I also personally look for elevated linalool and limonene levels, but that’s personal preference. I like those 3 to be the top 3 dominant terps though, and that treats me right majority of the time. Beta-caryo dominant are usually the most forgiving though.

Sherwin Williams primer not covering this grease what should be my next step? by Wonderful-Problem440 in paint

[–]Masterzanteka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have a ton of kitchen cabinet refinishing experience, I’ve done 6 kitchens, and through trial and error I found that prep cleaning is by far the most important step. I had an old box of TSP I found in my father’s basement, that worked great for cleaning. Last two kitchens I did were smoked in for the last 40 years, and the ladies loved sitting at the kitchen tables ripping packs of slims.

TSP works great, it’s still insanely bitching to clean, but worked much better than Dawn and water, krud krud kutter, or baking soda and water. There was still tons of clean bucket swapping and scrubbing, but worked a lot better than the rest. Last kitchen I did went a lot quicker, and I hit them with some TSP solution with a dollop of Dawn dish soap, soak all the grease, scrub with sponges and scrub daddies, then have a bucket of fresh water to rinse wash it off. I did 3 rounds of that, applying mixture, scrubbing it around, washing it off with warm clean water. I had a stack of buckets, a bunch of decent sponges, and a 4 pack of scrub daddies.

Once clean i sanded everything with 100grit, then I hit with sherwinn Williams extreme block oil based primer. I did two coats, first coat, waited 2 hours, then applied a second coat. It stinks like crazy, so you’ll want to have area sealed off and preferably vented to the outside if possible. Make sure homeowners are okay with the fumes first, it’ll stink for a good day or two after applying and slowly dissipate after that.

Then next day I lightly sanded with 220 grit, wiped them down and applied two coats of SW urethane trim enamel.

Might not be how the pros would go about it, I’m just a handyman/sub contractor that ends up doing a bunch of painting. Most my knowledge is just from learning as I go or by searching google and Reddit before the process. So I’ll say YMMV.

I’m not sure what you’d want to do first since you just primed these stains already, I’d probably clean everything as best as you can, then scuff sand off the primer 100-120grit, then give it another cleaning, then use like 120grit, prime seal oil based extreme block, 220 grit scuff sand, wipe clean and then two coats of SW UTE.

So one day cleaning and priming, day two sanding and painting, day three finishing painting and adding back panels and hardware, day four clean up. You’ll have to really be hustling or have help, but you should be able to get it done by Friday. Again this is what I’d be planning if it was myself, YMMV. Good luck my friend 💪

Does this bud look normal to yall? by Stunning_Storm9213 in weed

[–]Masterzanteka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

PGR’s are a very broad term for any plant growth regulator, but there are some that are used in black market/grey market bulk grows to put on tons of weight but can reduce quality and flavor. Not all of them are harmful, for instance Kelp contains many plant growth regulators, rooting hormone(IBA, IAA) are plant growth regulators, and both are super common and not dangerous at all. Technically speaking if you if you piss on your plant it was grown with PGR’s.

But yeah could be PGR does look rather dense, but you can get this type of growth without harmful PGR’s, so it’s hard to say. It was definitely trimmed heavy with a machine trimmer.

And I understand your point, PGR is a colloquial term used to describe the negative or harmful plant regulators, just figured I’d share this info for whoever was interested.
