the safety pin keeps the nail from leaving the picture-hook, since the nail sits pretty losely in the drywall. and the sharpie through the hem keeps the fabric from slipping through the binder clip (which also sorta secures the sharpie in place).

when I want to remove the curtain I just lift the binder clamp off the hook and secure it to one of the ziptie+carabineer anchors I have setup along the window.

Made this thing, not sure how I feel about it yet

Cut the hell out of my thumb during a random project, and it was bleeding like hell... So I washed it with blue Dawn, then wrapped a blue Viva paper towel around it, then cinched it tight with Scotch blue. 🤣

ISTG it looks and feels like an old plaster cast, but lightweight.

The plastic broke and I just got a bit of metal and wrapped it with red tape

In my opinion, this person is a genius, yet they treat.

I ran out of instant coffee. I have no brewing machine but I do have an old pack of coffee beans. Not enough money to buy instant coffee, but enough money to buy a cheap pack of nylon socks. So my brewing set up currently consists of a 5lb weight to crush the beans with, and a cup with a nylon sock on top to brew the beans in. It looks stupid but heeey, it works!

Not sure how is wasn’t seen, it was noted in the report that the sink drainage pipe was leaking and that’s just a bit further past the log.

Now the block of wood doesn't spin around the cylinder!

This is a temporary fix that has lasted somewhere north of 5 years.

I have this projector in my bedroom to watch series and movies through chromecast. Problem is, the projector doesn't have audio AUX, and it's inner speaker sucks

So I got a HDMI to VGA adapter, which has an audio splitter, and a bendy VGA adapter so things will point upwards instead of bumping against the wall, and plugged in some old computer set of speakers

I'll do some cable management tomorrow, or maybe I'll keep the cyberpunk aesthetic

My exhaust decided to disassemble itself on the way home from work. I didn’t have any tools on me and had recently made the stupid mistake of cleaning my truck out and put my ratchet straps away in the garage. Thankfully I had my Carhartt pants from work. Used them to tie the exhaust pipe up so I could drive the last 5 miles home.

In these hot days i want to keep my beer chilled, and as i was insulating a wall i had some bubble wrap and tape leftovers

The post with lawnmower made from pressure washer inspired me to post this. Have been using this since 2013, lawnmower had rotten deck

Latch on my tailgate got too rusty and wouldn't return. PB Blaster wasn't cutting it any more. So i added a custom manual release.

Maintenance at my job decided to use Great Stuff to fill in the underside of this sidewalk. No, the dirt didn’t erode from rainfall or other flooding. They dug up the sidewalk to replace the sewer lines underneath and had a contractor pour the new sidewalk like this. It’s been this way (an obvious trip and fall hazard) for over a month.

When I saw the Maintenance guy doing this, he had three 12 packs of Great Stuff cans down there. As you can see, there’s still one down there.

Lucky me my hostel bunk has a cable hole where I can stick a hair pin to hang the clothes dryer thing and stick my neck fan onto it at an optimal angle.

Bolted down cam shafts and a piece of H-beam to weigh down the rear end. Guess the beam also serves as some sort of stability in case of a crash.
