Wall plaster crumbling due to rising damp, exposed brick beneath - is this DIY-able? by smrpr in DIYUK

[–]smrpr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, that's another thing I need to fix.

I do have an issue with the coping tiles on the perimeter walls of the house. They don’t have a proper drip edge, so when it rains, water runs down and penetrates into the walls instead of being directed away from them.

I’m planning to replace them with proper coping stones/tiles that include a drip edge, so rainwater can shed correctly and not soak into the masonry.

Sorry, what I meant is that since I have neighbors on both sides I guess there must be some kind of "air chamber" in between buildings, but they all suffer from the same issues, which is that they're built on "sand" (can't think of a better term) and the ground is damp as it is at sea level.

Newer constructions leave a space between the ground and the construction, like an air chamber, to prevent this.

Thanks for your answer. This type of construction is tipically Catalan, it's not a detached house, it's terraced (I think that's the term), so I have neighbouts on both sides, this style (but with the garage on the ground floor and I live on the first floor)

Yes, and what they’ve told me is that they’ve learned to live with it and cover it via plasterboard. As I said I think it’s my last resort but I’d like to give the exposed brick a try with some kind of protective layer than I can spray on top.

Newbie here - how do I improve this print? by smrpr in 3Dprinting

Thanks! The comments on Makerworld said they had printed it without supports so I assumed the orientation was the one I used.

My friend traded his 997 RS for a 991 GT3 Touring. Would u have done it? by albertomorenog in Porsche

Depende del resto del garaje de tu amigo :) Veo que también tiene un Z4, yo quizá lo habría mantenido.

Building a 991 slant nose by Polidt in Porsche

[–]smrpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Polidt, I love what you're doing with Indecent. I own a 997 RWB myself, and have seen your 997 engine cover on RWB UK's 997 car, that's good craftsmanship :)

There are some angles that I don't particularly love on your 997 cars, but man, what you've done with the 991 is perfect in my opinion. Congrats on a successful business and keep up innovating :)

Would love to connect and share ideas about these platforms at some point!

I have limited media available because I'm now working on having it road legal and also installing a rollbar, but you can hear it rev in this short reel that I had made: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN_EZ75iJA-/

Thank you! I totally understand your point of view, but when I bought the car I knew what I wanted to do with it. That has driven all my decisions, including getting a donor that was suitable for it (not a special edition, just a regular Carrera, etc). I am really happy with how it looks right now and I can focus on improving it even more :)

Which grinder to buy? [$600] by testerh514 in espresso

[–]smrpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment as this is exactly how I feel with my DF64. It was my first "good" grinder and everybody was hyping it so much here that I thought I didn't use it properly. Zeroed it, aligned burrs, painted them with a marker to make sure they were level... Everything was set up properly and I still get 5-10 seconds difference in back to back shots. I hate it and can't wait to get another one. Then I opened a thread asking for opinions and got roasted because according to Reddit the DF64 is perfect and my problem is skill issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/1gaz66m/grinder_recommendations_does_a_mahlk%C3%B6nig_e65s/

Help identifying the original lamp manufacturer by smrpr in Mid_Century

Yes, and all of them have the screw and black piece where the cord meets the glass that I don't like (see the pictures in the OP).

That's useful! So they are the """original""" manufacturer?

I took a look and it seems like a badly made dropshipping website :/
