Hey Everyone,

I'm looking to get an air compressor for some work around the house. It would mostly be used for nail guns to replace siding and trim. However, I do want to be able to spray wall texture occasionally (The walls have been "fixed" in various spots and I'm probably going to redo entire walls. A couple of walls are so bad I think they just threw the sprayer in the room and ran away). I'm fine with going slow when spraying texture as long as I can still get a good result. The compressor I'm looking at is a 6 gallon @ 175 PSI, with 3.0 SCFM @ 90 PSI. This seems perfect for nail guns ( I think), but texture guns seem to consume 2-9 SCFM. Do you that will be fine for periodic use, or will it be maddening slow? My goal would be to texture and paint a roughly 10ft by 12ft room in a weekend. I'll be using a roller and brush for paint so that is not a concern.

Sorry if its a silly question, but when researching this stuff it's getting so hard to find non-ai generated website's that are just trying to sell shit.

I wanted to add wheels to my hammock so I could easily move it into shade throughout the day. Some openscad later and came up with this little bracket. Uses a clevis pin for an axle, and just pops into the metal tube feet of the hammock.

Here's the files on printables

I went to put in an outlet with charging ports and found this monstrosity behind the wall plate. The box is filled with expanding foam, I'm guessing as some kind of support? Then painted all over. I scraped it all out, put in outlet spacers and its much better. I think there's foam around the box too, but I'm not gonna worry about that (yet).

Now I get to spend next weekend replacing all the outlets in the house just in case there's any more sketchy "fixes" 🫠

After cleaning and replacing:

Not sure if anything is actually needed. It just looks unstable. Power is already run to the shed, so it might be difficult to move and do a full concrete pour. I was thinking of lifting with a car jack and finding a better combination of pavers to remove the wood wedges, but I'm open to any ideas. And it is on a slope, the other end is on pavers on the ground. This stack of pavers was the previous owners attempt at levelling I guess.

Over the next year or so, we're looking to replace our wood floors, all the base boards, all interior & exterior doors, and door trim. Since the wife and I both work full time, we're thinking we'd focus on one at a time, and do it slowly over a few weekends and evenings. Is there an order that would make things easier? Like do floors before baseboards or vice versa? Is it even worth doing things one at a time?

The glossy dpad and ABXY buttons are too slick IMO. Does anyone know of good matte textured buttons? Preferably in just plain black but I'm not picky.

I did see the new extreme rate oled buttons but I haven't found anything describing their texture. Plus I'm not sold on clear buttons

No idea what the story behind this is. It's a single gang coax box, and just a hole next to it. Looks like previous owner started to patch the drywall by putting the backer in but gave up.

First time homeowner here. The house was previously owned by an investment firm who cut a lot of corners on renovations at some point. Does anyone have a good resource for fixing botch jobs? A lot of tutorials cover fixing or replacing things that were done properly before hand, and I don't want to spam forums with "How the he'll do I fix this monstrosity??"

My wife and I are quite shit at design but are pretty handy. We recently bought a house, and we want to make the backyard a great hang out spot, but have no idea how to make it look good. I contacted a local landscaper about just paying for a design/plan and we would just DIY it but they never called us back. Is this an okay thing to hire for? Or do landscapers usually want to do the work themselves?

I want to post my design on Printables but my scad file uses a threads library found here. Should I just add a comment above the "use" statement with a link on where to get the library?
