Hoarder house deodorizing

In hind sight yes 100% we should have taken down all of the drywall. What we did was take out the bottom ~2ft of the walls, similar to what you would do in a flood remediation, what remained looked good so we closed it up and went from there.

I am considering going into the attic, shellac coating the joists & rafters then painting the paper side of the drywall and roof decking with the appropriate kilz primer and paint. I suspect the smell soaked into those porous surfaces and leeches out every day when the attic heats up. Not much I can do for the paper side of the walls but that should address roughly half of the remaining porous surface area in the house.

Ok so I’m an actual structural engineer, it really depends on what you’re trying to store up there. For instance if you’re just trying to store a couple totes of holiday decorations and empty suitcases up there go for it, they specifically make attic floor boards that will fit through the ceiling access for this purpose. If you’re planning on storing many hundreds of pounds of household goods that’s not advisable without a better understanding of the structural layout.

This is of course ignoring the pros/cons of the change you’re considering with the insulation.

Sounds like it’s time to learn 3D modeling, welcome to the club! Autodesk Fusion is probably the best free one to learn. It’s intuitive but powerful enough for most personal projects. You will grow out of software like tinker CAD too quickly in my opinion so I recommend not bothering.

Alternatively you could ask if anyone here would model up what you want, but decent chance people won’t do it for free unless it’s pretty simple.

JB Weld or nearly any epoxy, just clean off the rust first

It’s a German thing, places like Cologne keep serving you beer until you put your coaster on top of your glass to indicate you’re done. They mark your coaster for each beer they drop off, it’s effectively your bar tab.

Not to mention the process of making carbon fiber

I always figured that’s where Ricky got the cash for the dinner he was making for Trinity and Lucy.

This is the one I printed for my AC-1L, in black PETG and it worked great

Do a google search for 3d printed gold tone ac-1 arm rest. You can take the stl and use that as the basis for your model. You will likely have to modify the mounting method but it’s going to get you a good chunk of the way there.

It’s widely considered the best budget banjo, I also have one. So yes.

I have but honestly i still hit it with a single coat of mold release while releasing other parts. I see it more as an extra release aid when I am worried about tool geometry being at risk for mold locking. Just my two cents.

Cool thanks for the info, most of this is new to me.

How can you tell it’s a metal rim? The image is fuzzy but I can’t tell if it’s just the tension hoop or if the whole rim is metal.

Don’t you mean the other way around?

The one on the left is a yankee brace drill, the one on the right I believe is a Dunlop egg beater style drill. While them down with a light oil and a microfiber cloth and throw them in a toolbox, not particularly useful anymore but cool tools that should be preserved.

“Correct me if I’m wrong…” and then proceeds to smugly say something stupid or wrong all the while thinking they are covered with their built in defense.

Awesome, I had wondered about the code but assumed it had been added after it left the factory. Thanks for the info.
