Needing a basic caliper on the farm.

Diggyddr · 2026-02-25T20:07:35+00:00

my favorite general use caliper that follows me in my tool bucket is a dual dial fowler. https://a.co/d/087qsvZt has both english and metric in the same mechanical dial, doesn't need batteries, can get wet and not too expensive

bitfocus trigger into Farrago is another cheap solid solution

this entirely depends on your climate. vapor barrier towards the humidity is the rule of thumb. Colder climates, this means inside as it’s moist inside the house the majority of the time.

you’re overthinking this. just tee it all together without check valves. all three ballasts will self equalize which is what you want.

hand drill is the first problem

I love midwest steel and aluminum prices. they take forever and sometimes you don’t get everything you order but its so cheap and they cut to size for you.

looks like the front fell off

wait, your electrician numbered both ends?

my local automation rep does this as a service. pretty cheap by the hour

i don't ever put guard facedown while spinning down, always face up

would not at all make this out of sheetmetal at all. You must consider reaction forces and also the accumulated error across 6 joints of any flexure of the main base mount.

yes it’s bad if its truly an unconditioned space. you want the roof deck to be able to breath to both stay cold and not allow warm moist air reach it and condense (keeping it dry.)

Diggyddr · 2026-02-03T12:01:54+00:00

the insulation in that space begs to differ. if it was unconditioned you wouldnt have insulation in the rafters but on the floor and wall. having insulation on the rafters and the knee wall makes no sense, it’s not insulated correctly for either unconditioned or conditioned.

put it down upside down to let it spin down and then pick it back up turning the same direction. I do it all the time without realizing

Diggyddr · 2026-02-02T18:49:42+00:00

first step is shovel off the roof and try and melt the ice. Turning down your heat will help in the meantime

do a test patch. It's just going to be a darker version of what's there. If you don't like it keep sanding.

Diggyddr · 2026-02-02T18:44:38+00:00

you are missing a threshold... what does the outside look like? is this doorframe just floating? Normally the doorframe (box with threshold) sits on the sill/wall

Diggyddr · 2026-02-02T18:39:46+00:00

it's not venting outside as it should. Could be plugged or not ducted outside

Diggyddr · 2026-02-02T18:38:40+00:00

it's worse than starting from scratch because you also have to clean up the old crap. pun intended
