I wasn't trying to denigrate your comment. Just pointing out the use of "jerk sock" by OP was an odd choice

We don’t need more 350 square-foot landlord-owned prefab boxes

Especially big corpo landlords. Think your average slumlord is bad? Well you haven't tried hyper-capitalist slumlord!

The one in the picture is a nylon stocking, so that would be a poor choice...

No worries, I 100% feel ya

Ah got ya. Since you were responding to my comment it seemed like you meant that I was letting perfect be the enemy of good.

I think you may have meant to respond to the other person since this is pretty much what I said

It looks to be reusing a bread bag and an empty bottle, so those would have been trash. Reuse/repurposing is better than just throwing away.

What's a jerk sock? Also, if you get use out of it, you arguably did not ruin it.

Beehaw admins have to make communities here, which is partly why I posted here. Also partly to gauge interest. And yeah, I don't think there are enough users for a bunch of niche communities, but one maker community that covers them all might work

That and their wide open sign ups leading to a lot of people just being terrible.

Most of us here want to remain defederated with them, so NBD

 

I don't know if there is enough interest, but is it possible to get a maker community created? Some things like 3d printing don't always quite fit into DIY or Creative.

 

Ford and GM are probably regretting that switch to NACS...

 

We finished the last piece of the cat path I posted about earlier! This one goes from the laundry room, to the stairwell, and then into the guest bedroom on the upper floor (yes, I know the carpet needs replaced in that closet). They are already using them and seem to love the new path already.

My partner and I have been talking about making some cat paths in our house since long before we owned our house. We recently got 2 new dogs, so now it is a high priority project. The first step was putting up some shelves in the hallway and making a portal from the hallway to the bedroom closet (you can see it just above the tent). The surround for the portal is this 3D printed tunnel

The next project is going to be putting a portal from the spare bedroom into the stairwell so they can go up and down floors without the dogs being in the way

I am stripping and re-sealing a corner shower stall, and am having a hell of time removing all the old caulk. I also discovered the previous homeowners decided to just caulk over the previous caulk that was on there, so I am removing 2 or 3 layers depending on the location. It was leaking in the spots that had 3 layers so I think they just added more caulk to "fix" leaks. I have the chemical caulk remover, and that certainly helps, but it still is taking a metric fuck-ton of manual labor. Any tricks/suggestions for removal of very old caulk? I am about to throw a scotch brite on a palm sander and go to town.
