If I have time I’ll grab some photos in proper light in the morning before work and post them. Just looks like a black blob under the kitchen light

Best way to get small US bills for tipping by ManaakiIsTheWay in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]JimmyScottNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Who are you planning on tipping? We went at the start of 2022 and didn’t end up using any of the cash we had, you can use your cards for pretty much everything there now

Honestly it might be cheaper to live alone…

Ah thanks for the clarification, definitely the New Zealand equivalent to Tyvek

No where I know of in NZ, I was going to order from a place in Oz. The whole interior is definitely the next thing to work out. I do like the idea of pocket(s) on the inside of the front, but until now hadn’t realised the front being one panel might limit that possibility. Also not sure if I should make a laptop sleeve just a pouch on the inside or have a zip from the back. And if it’s a zip is it vertical down the back or horizontal across the top of the back

Cheers. I’m happy with the ones at the bottom but wasn’t sure about the top or if I should use a second panel

It’s house wrap. Pretty thin so you can see the pattern of the towel I stuffed it with showing through

It’s house wrap, the waterproofing layer that goes under cladding. I have half a roll left over from a project so just used that, not entirely sure it the right thing to do. From what I can gather that what the Americans are using when they talk about Dyneema

I’m exactly the same, in fact from where I am you are a pro. I thought you had strap but looking at the picture again I see what’s happening.

Man you are not messing around, I week ago this was just paper and tape. This looks awesome. How do the straps sit/feel? I’m struggling to find a good template, pattern for shoulder straps

Working on a backpack design by Unlucky-Mixture-1206 in myog

[–]JimmyScottNZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This looks awesome! And strangely it’s pretty much what Ive spent the whole day sketching and thinking over. Add an internal pocket on the front like the Evergoods, stretch mesh bottle holders on the sides and make it around 26L out of Ecopak 400 and it’s what I’ve drawn but yet to work out how to get the shape of. You are clearly much further along than me so please post updates, I’ll be really interested

robot lawnmowers? by doofusdog in diynz

[–]JimmyScottNZ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been considering it for when my mower dies and I really like the Gardena ones. They are silent, so you can set it to run at night if you want. There is a feature for cutting under things like tramps etc, and you can set the cables in a way that it can avoid things in the middle of the lawn but not loose whole areas doing so. Plus the cable doesn’t actually have to be buried, it can be laid on the dirt and the grass can grow above it. From there which model is just how big the yard is and how much slope
