@benis_redux@cawfee.club Doing galvanized steel Zee purlins, just hoping I can get the supplier to pre-punch 9mm holes, they will prolly scoff and say this is 'Merica and I'll have to re-drill all the holes bigger.

@benis_redux@cawfee.club If I ever get my laser table built was actually planning on replacing the washers with 2" strips of punched stainless steel sheet metal to sandwitch it.

@benis_redux@cawfee.club Want every beam to be able to support 3ft of snow load plus the structure. I'm not gonna insure the structure so want it to be able to handle an F2 tornado easily. Going to even bolt my lexan onto the perlins with 1/4" bolts every 8" instead of using self tapping screws. I've seen sheets get ripped off of greenhouses enough times with our random 85mph winds.

@meowski@fluf.club That stuff sells for a premium too. I can grow it well in winter at least, hopefully I can grow it in summer successfully as well.

Ended up filling 18 quarts of cherry tometo and pepper mix. Now to pressure cook it.

@meowski@fluf.club Yeah... they both control freaks so that doesn't work very well lol.

Holy shit, I just saw a tesla truck with a riding lawn mower in the back. First time I've seen something being hauled with one other than groceries.

@meowski@fluf.club Yup. And loan offer texts.

Really need a shop but don't have the land to build it on yet. At least the land survey is finally done tho so should be soon.

Picked a 5 gallon bucket of cherry tomatoes and another of green is my bell peppers and jaylapenos. Gonna shobe into jars and pressure cook em. Might try doing cowboy candy with the spicy ones tho. Future me gonna be stoked.

@meowski@fluf.club Oof, I noticed 3 of em on my path to the greenhouse... F

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch Also related to the head of the electrical board lol.

Since I have a greenhouse half empty at friends place I could use that area to stack sun dried bricks until I get the land bought to fire them in a kiln. Could probably even build a shitty temporary kiln out of them to do an initial firing so I wouldn't have to spend a grand on bricks to build a real kiln. If I make my own bricks for building the kiln I can probably add some extra sand and perlite to them to make them more heat resistant. Don't want my arched kiln roof to turn into pudding and collapse.

Just made final jeeb payment. Now just need to make $100 a day selling bred and veggies to be break even. Should be possible, just will need to sell like 6 loaves of bred and $60 of veggies to do that and pay for gas. Now that temps are cooler I'll get my mushroom tent going too and maybe harvest some honey. Hoping I make like 3x the break even amount, then I will just have to sell shit like 3 days a week to be moving forward again. Might try to just do it every day tho for the next couple months while veggie production going good. At least I can chill on my porch in the mornings while baking shit for 5 hours. Can wake up at 10 and bake till 3 and then sell from 4 till wheneves. Nice that is legal for me to just park on main street and hock my stuff. And have starlink on my jeeb so I can just watch youtube or work on CAD(minecraft) while selling stuffs.

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch I'd just have A and B to start and leave the 3rd phase empty of breakers. Then when I get the 3 phase service installed I'll have C phase. That's another issue tho, last time we priced getting 3 phase they wanted 20K to add cross bars and 2 wires for a half mile. Since now we will have two locations needing three phase maybe they will subsidize it a bit more, or I can split the cost with my friend because he wants 3 phase there too.

@benis_redux@cawfee.club The lexan expands and contracts like 1/2" per 10' with our temperature range so that will at a lot of pressure on the bolts as well. Kinda crazy how they are all built with self tapping screws normally.

Pretty Jewish neighbor girl keeps smiling and waving at me when I sit on my porch. Is it too late for me guys?

Hmmm maybe need some way to mount a magnet in the pipe and have a hall effect sensor on the outside of the pipe with a custom tiny circuit board. That would be a better long term solution. Think that would still be in the $10 range. Would require 3 wire conductors tho to the sensors.

@harblinger@wizard.casa Think I'm gonna just make my own tiny circuit board with a hall effect sensor. Throw like an ardruino tiny chip on a board with the sensor and when the field changes a bunch because the magnet on a string is moving around inside the pipe I know water if flowing. Maybe add a trim pot to adjust sensitivity and an rgb led.

@benis_redux@cawfee.club For the first couple weeks

@Sacrificial_Lamb@nicecrew.digital @KidKnievel@nicecrew.digital @jb@nicecrew.digital @Sideshow_Jane@poa.st @brimshae@poa.st That top speed of 35mph makes it a big nope for me.

@benis_redux@cawfee.club I'm considering this batshit crazy method for creating the flat base to lay the tiles on... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f94DmUWHpK0

Ordered a vevor bread slicer... got to get kitchen organized and cleaned and fix the uwo slab style hole in the kitchen ceiling over the next couple days.

@harblinger@wizard.casa no big deal! You def got me on the right track, I've never used a hall effect sensor either so I would have had problems.

Some electricians around here charge $120 an hour... makes it tempting. Especially since I can do PLC stuffs that most can't do. I want to be able to run to Thailand winters tho and people don't like it when you are gone and their shit breaks.

Think I'm gonna get a peddlers permit tomorrow and park downtown by the dude selling sweet corn. I have about 15 gallons of cherry tomates I need to pick and turn into monies. Have some melons and cucs ready as well.

Made an account on bandmix... maybe can get out a bit and get better at geetar.

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch would be pretty funny to potentially make @skylar@wolfgirl.bar 's life hell someday.

Since raising fish for meat is wrong livelyhood, I'm gonna attempt ~70-80 deg water for my aquaponics systems with Koi and tropical fish. Might have to have a colder system too for lettuce. Or spray the water on the roots and have airflow on the roots to cool them evaporativly to prevent bolting.

My design got too complex for this macbook... gonna have to finally fix my old pc with the failed nvme ssd.

Parents might be giving out some shit to us kids as they do their divorce. They don't want each other getting things and would rather chillens get the things. Might be getting a Bobcat and ditchwitch which would help immensely building my shop. My dad is weird about lending out his equipment so kinda unexpected.

Time to crank some Zytokine.

Really should just be an electrician and simplify my life, but would rather have 10 businesses that each make 5-10k and won't kill me because wrong breaker turned off.

Really need to list more shit on ebay so I can buy stuff again.

@wertimer@clubcyberia.co Oh I hope so, she is very cute, thank you friend.

I probably need at least 25k bricks by next summer. At 50¢ a brick I think would def be worth my time to spend a few months making bricks. Shit ton of perlite ordered. Gonna need to cut a shit ton of firewood too.

At least if funding falls thru my bro said I can build a greenhouse off the side of one of his shops, so I can at least get the lettuce money machine rolling.

Instead of building a steel fireplace in the greenhouse I should build two small brick kilns and alternate between them firing bricks and thick floor tiles for building projects. Heat the greenhouse/shop and not have to pour a fuck ton of concrete slab floors. The bricks won't be exposed to frost so I think 12 hour nightly firings would be sufficient. I need like 50k 12" floor tiles and I bet I could make all of em over ~5 winters. Would just need to mold 500 tiles a week, making a clay extruder and cutting the tiles with a wire might be worthwhile. Would be better than spending 75k on concrete and would look way better too.

@benis_redux@cawfee.club I think I'd do like 4" thick sand and make sure the clay under is packed super well... like wet it down weekly and pen up some cows in it for a month. Maybe after my footings are poured I'll backfill all my dirt and pen off the area. If the clay below is properly compacted I think I'll be fine. There will be cows on the feild I'm building on this winter so could just feed hay bales inside the area I want trampled.

Going down autistic tropical fish breeding rabbit hole.

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch Yeah and hopefully they even have cans to hang on the pole. I think there has or was a shortage.

Relative wants to borrow my welder. Have to resist ordering a lime green 56" harbor freight tool box to mount my tig/mig welder and my argon & C25 bottles to and have space for all welding tools... Would work very well, the drawers are even wide enough I could have one dedicated to tig filler rods and the chonky drawer could hold welding helmet and face shield.

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch Just shitty clay bricks. Gonna build a big greenhouse and build a small shop/house in it as well.

Gonna work in the cow killing factory tomorrow doing concrete work.... really want to buy that toolbox for my welder.

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch The state keeps trying to get me to be an inspector, but the pay is shit. Might look into that too, the hours might be not too bad. Having an engineering degree makes me an outlier of all the licensed electricians here.

@dassauerkraut@shortstacksran.ch Hmmmmmmmmm you have a point. Might need an apprentice that doesn't mind weeding and re-potting trees when work is slow.

@SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo @condret@shitposter.world Cool, I'm about to maybe inherit a house, housing market def inbound if it habbens.
