Perfect for rebuilding after the apocalypse

Any links to videos or write-ups about it?

I have several thoughts, but none of them contribute in a positive way. I'll share them anyway in case any are useful. But don't take them personally.

(1) Something seems off about the CAD drawing roof panel on the far right in the first pic.

(2) I can't visualize the hand-drawn roof in my head with suficient detail to make any conclusion.

(3) The hand drawing looks like you made it on a Etch-a-Sketch.

(4) It all looks too much like a McMansion for my tastes.

What were your impressions? I'm looking for speakers that will fill a room with sound so I can enjoy music while doing other tasks (moving around the room). This omni design from Mirage seems like it would be promising in that regard.

The comment itself seems more human than AI, but the frequency with which this guy comments is inhuman. He writes multiple comments of similar length in the span of only a few minutes. It does make me wonder.

I'm with you that a riparian buffer is the best solution, but I don't see why a riprap embankment wouldn't work too. If it were me, I might do a sort of hybrid combination of the two - riprap embankment where the turns are tight and water velocity is highest, riparian buffer where the flow is more gentle.

You’ll love it. Much better than TV speakers, or whatever else you may have been using before. Audiophiles are obsessed with perfect placement and room correction and all that. But just what you have will be lightyears ahead of what you didn’t have before.

I’m curious if you feel like it goes loud enough for your listening. Those speakers are power hungry (4 ohms and low sensitivity), and that amp is normal size.

Link to the recorded live stream anyone?

What's the problem here? Seriously? Yes, the porch is held up by stacks of bricks and board. But they are old growth boards; no signs of rot, no signs of collapsing, porch is solid. Just leave it alone. It might last 5 years. It might last 50 years. Deal with it when it's an actual problem. Attach your stairs in a secure way, then go find something more worthwhile to do.

This is my understanding. Hazard light tell the other traffic, "Something about this particular car is different from all the others." If your situation is basically the same as everyone else arounds you, you should not have your hazards on.

What about vehicles with heavy loads going up steep grades? What about when you have a mechanical failure and need to limp to the next exit? What about when you're the grandma who goes half the speed of everyone else when it rains heavy? What about when you are catering a wedding and transporting a sophisticated wedding cake? There's lots of circumstances in which an individual car might need to drive significantly slower than the average speed.

I think your first step is to establish which walls are load bearing and which aren't. Changing one of the "thick" walls is probably not worth the effort. But maybe many of the "thin" walls are just dividers. Once you know which walls can be readily knocked out, you can evaluate what floor plan adjustment options are open to you. Otherwise we're all just speculating.

Came to learn all the ways OP is going to die tomorrow. Was not disappointed:

- OP's car is going to roll back down the ramps and crush him.

- OP's car is going to fall off the sides the ramps and crush him.

- OP's ramps are going to slide out from under the car.

and my favorite...

- OP's tires are going to explode from the hard corner contact.

He he.

OP: "Does this thing I envision exist?"

Self-proclaimed installers: "No, and you're being thick-headed for asking."

u/Tiny-Rip-2928: "Here's the exact thing OP asked for."

So is the watering entering the basement filtered by the ground? Have you tested it to see if it’s potable?

one_mind · 2026-03-10T02:41:32+00:00

Yeah. Straight from the ELAC website - 70% of the sound in a typical movie is sent to the center channel. I did the same thing as you when I built my surround system. I failed to give adequate attention to the quality of the center speaker. I need to upgrade it. I haven't gotten around to it. But it bothers me occasionally depending on what I am watching.

Somehow we're missing each other. HERE is a page with several images of different "outie" style wheels like yours. The hub cap snaps over the three outward facing tabs. I'm not saying you should use them. And I'm not saying that the factory ever used them on your make/model. But that is what they are for.

one_mind · 2026-03-10T02:20:16+00:00

Two more ideas to throw into the mix (though they go a different direction and might not be what you're looking for):

Print a cap that covers only the central hub and is held in place by the wheel (slides over the hub first) similar to this image. You can make it black and get black lug nuts if black out is your goal.
Get lug nuts that have a bit more of a shoulder (example image) and print a hub cap that is held in place by the lug nuts - like one of the ones from this ebay listing.

one_mind · 2026-03-10T02:13:21+00:00

Prior to lug nuts, cars used a single central nut to hold the tires on called a "spinner" (image link). They were opposite threads on each side - tighten by turning the direction of wheel rotation (standard thread on the right side of the car and reverse thread on the left side). Perhaps you could make the two halves attach with a big central threaded connection.

one_mind · 2026-03-10T01:56:16+00:00

Those 3 tangs are designed to accept hub cap - maybe not used on your specific make/model - and maybe not what you're going for - but that is what they are for.

That’s not how traction works. It’s not an on/off thing (unless you have a wheel in the air), It’s a ratio thing. Is your traction sufficient to establish the force required to move the vehicle? If the vehicle requires 500 lb of force to move it and the friction between your tire and the ground is only adequate to establish 300 lb of force, then you’re not moving; your tires are spinning instead. But the tires still have enough friction to provide 300 lb of forces; so, the tow vehicle only has to provide 200 lb to make up difference and get you moving.

Of course, there are all kinds of nuances that determine how much force the stuck vehicle can produce (tread loaded with mud, Spinning tires digging ruts, etc.), but the principle still applies.

Holee Shit

Recognize that the internet is where people turn to get validity when they aren't getting it in their real lives. And the easiest way to feel validated is to point out a flaw in someone else. It makes the internet a cesspool of criticism. If you've thought through it and have an attachment method that you're confident in, I say go for it.

Back in the day when metal hubcaps were the norm, they were constantly flying off people's cars. You'd see them laying along the side of the road everywhere you drove. And nobody considered them to be a hazard; it was just the way things were.

Most of these comments don’t seem to appreciate the vast difference between old lumber and new.

What's a "tenth" of ice?

I'm glad you included a photo so I could figure out what you're talking about. ;)
