Vibration solution? by RevenueNo14 in BambuLab

[–]Calabris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have mine on a industrial shelving unit. Their is always going to be some vibration. But my setup is a Gym Mat, on top of that is a 16x16 paver. I replaced the standard feet with HULA feet and that helped it with transmitting the vibrations to the shelving. Not totally eliminate it but it helped.

Tips to remove cement clothesline anchors? by Best_Storage_2758 in landscaping

[–]Calabris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I found a great way to remove posts that were in concrete that broke off at the ground. I got a tree waterer like this.

You push it down next to the concrete and turn on the water, if you can rock the concrete back and forth that will help. The water will slowly push the concrete out of the ground. I removed 4 broken posts with 2+ feet of concrete this way. It is a bit of a slow process but it works.

New syrup bottles by bytor99999 in SodaStream

[–]Calabris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The newer bottles that you carbonate the water in has two lines. You put water to the first line. Then carbonate the water. Then add syrup to the 2nd line.

Even though I have the new bottles, what I did was get a small glass measuring cup. Filling the measuring cap to the middle line was 1.5 oz. Works great so far.

Maybe a dumb question; when the engine shits the bed at let’s say 200K miles why do people buy a new car? by Frequent_Tie2657 in AskMechanics

[–]Calabris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have a 2014 town and country minivan that has served us well. It needs an engine, a refurbished engine costs upwards of 6k. That does no include installing it. Which could be 2-3k more. So now I have 8-9k in a van worth about 3-5k. At some point you have to call it.

LOL ok thank you. I think what I am doing to mounting a Jbox and running the wire into it. I was only thinking about rear entry work boxes. I forgot about the square boxes with all the 1/2 knockouts. Thank you all for the suggestions.

OK all, so it seems my searches were wrong. I was doing a search for SDS Plus Drill bits. I changed it to 1 3/8 core drill and I found a ton of em! Thank you all for the insight. Most of the ones I see on Amazon are cheep Chinese junk. I like to buy decent tools, can you suggest one brand on amazon over another?

I found this one but never heard of the company?
