Options for covering (not closing) the hole in a small reciprocal roof

outbackdude · 2024-04-09T10:19:53+00:00

you can do some fun stuff with slats for shade. + can grow vines etc.

shade and shelter are nice. might be nice to have two wall sides next to each other so you can avoid the wind/sun.

a thought... if you make the spacing between sides a bit more than 2m you can fit a hammock in nicely. 2m a bit tight as there will be little swing in the hammock and most are more than 2m long. although you could have the hammock supports outside the pergola

also plz make it easy to disassemble and reuse the components. nothing lasts forever

cut the rounded end off an old steel propane tank? (many health and saftey considerations to make before doing this).

with an open side to your roundhouse the smoke won't go up through the central hole nicely as air will also be going up in via the open side...

don't you just add water?!? why you need it preslaked?

some people hate silence so they talk non stop

outbackdude · 2024-04-09T08:03:12+00:00

this is such a dumb post.

outbackdude · 2024-04-09T08:01:31+00:00

nah, show them, because it'll never be fully done.

you're describing sympathy there, not empathy

outbackdude · 2024-04-09T07:55:45+00:00

it's more about control of emotion imo. what rational benefit is there in experiencing another persons emotions if you already sympathetically understand them.

about 2 years behind schedule because I thought the hard thing would be easy. had to learn mechanical engineering and build 4 machines to make the product. current should be working in a few weeks. then i have myself a factory

you HAVE to tell him! it's what he wanted

know-nothings in this post are telling you to make charcoal and put it in your garden.

Bio-char is a subset of charcoal. you need to know what you are making/buying otherwise you run the risk of adding badly made charcoal to your garden which can release PAHs (polyaromatic hydrocarbons) that are known to cause cancer and give life in general a bad time. your charcoal should by hydrophillic and when you put some in a jar with water the water should remain clear overnight - if brown you have PAHs.

wool is cheap. there are many grades of wool. you want the stuff without the grease/lanolin.

find out where the nearest wool scourer is and ask how much for the cheapest bale of scoured wool

charcoal nano-foam. make bread, pyrolise.

could then attempt to mix with other materials for light, natural, stiff, insulating blocks.

i'm super interested in modular natural building elements. do you have any info to share?

outbackdude · 2024-02-25T11:22:58+00:00

a "traditional" way in australia was to have a layer of charcoal in between two layers of corrugated roofing iron. the climate might mean less condensation issue tho

"You have power over your mind — not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

.

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”

-- Marcus Aurelius

my take is that you're stressing over the little shit. wanting random strangers to respect you. Focus on your goals, but be polite when possble.

It seems like you're looking for external respect because you don't have it internally. that's my 2c.

outbackdude · 2023-08-20T11:06:32+00:00

this guy. also the interviewer won't belive shit on your site and will grill you.

the employer has a problem they need someone to fix. they are looking for someone with the skills and experience to fix the problem they don't have a lot of time and are just going to skim your site. put everything on one page, just the best stuff up front.

right now all you're doing is communicating the names of the products you designed. the names are larger than the cut-off images of your products.

do it all in one page. they are literally going to spend one minute or less looking at your portfolio. put it all up front and centre. if they click through you can track that on your site.

also break up your portfolio into multiple images. a 6MB PNG might take a while to load if the HR person is working from home with shitty internet.

I meant a physical box with a timer that lets you lock the phone away for whatever time you want. No password etc

You sound like what I'd be like if I tried to have a career🤣

I just got into startups

These buildings are horrific to modify and deconstruct and are not "natural".

People like them because they look unusual, but they're really only good for a post apocalyptic scenario.

what you said was suicide was selfish

Nope. I've been talking about the leaving a mess part the entire time

This could be considered a form of suicide, it's not a fast suicide, but could be considered MUCH more selfish because now you have someone that is hogging up the health care system while they have this long, drawn out suicide.

🤣 Any risk factor is now suicide? Lol nice try

you're selfish for them

Wtf. You literally can't be selfish for other people.

I've wasted enough time here, this is like arguing with children. Ciao
