We were in there once or twice a month getting solder and random assortment of components for little home projects we had going. The workers also knew how to help and always had suggestions for the projects we were doing. I remember the day we (grandpa and I) went into the store and realized it wasn't the same anymore. Only a small selection of components and the whole front was full of RC cars and random expensive electronic gadgets nobody asked for. We only went back once or twice, but it became evident that we can't find what we were looking for there anymore. We started sourcing our parts from overseas vendors for fractions of a cent per unit, but we had to buy in bulk. We stopped doing those small projects because it was taking too long to get components and the cost was out of hand with thousands of unused components in boxes in the project room taking up space. Well, made myself sad for the morning.

I wear jeans and a t shirt pretty much daily

I have some guys in my gym that wear very similar. If you have generally free-range of motion, you'll be fine. Will just be hotter than normal. Walmart has some decent clothes for not a lot of money that you can get a set of and just use that. Nobody at the gym is going to judge you for wearing the same thing every day.

I don’t get what you do there

This depends on what you are looking to get done. Each person is there for their own thing, and it depends on their goals. Weight-loss, muscle toning, strength training, socializing....

I don't do anything on the treadmills or bikes because I structure my weights to do the cardio bits as well. This is just a personal preference because I get bored and zone out during long walks, runs, or rides.

Get a plan together and be consistent with it. I have 3 plans in circulation depending on what my needs and schedule is. Arms, legs, and combination. If I have the time, I'll do arms Monday, Wednesday, Friday; Legs will happen on Tuesday and Thursday. If I know I can't get to things on a timely basis because of schedules I'll do a combination MWF. I'm flexible with my time so I don't beat myself up for not going.

I could do home workouts just fine, but the cost of equipment is too high and I need the space in the house, which I don't have. I'd love to get a place that has a finished basement, or unfinished, and have a place to go that doesn't cost me monthly. The only issue with home workouts is replacing broken or worn equipment. Also, my gym has a row machine that I wouldn't have access to or money to purchase. Just little things like that. Weights are super expensive for full sets.

If you have the funds, I'd recommend finding a local gym that has a trainer that you can utilize. Even if it's for just a few sessions to get you going.

Good luck if you decide to get into it. Don't make it part of your personality and have a goal.

No, but in the area we were in at the time it was mainly flat-bottomed aluminum boats. All of them were similar sizes, so pretty generic plugs.

Grandpa always had 3-5 in the glovebox of his truck. One would always get left somewhere or someone at the boat launch would be swearing about missing theirs and he'd give them one. Just one of those things you have to keep around.

I have a handful of those around the yard as well. Engineering isn't her strong suit, so that's why I know of putting the tube through the middle to help with aeration and keep things at a constant temp. As others have said, it's need more water, but I live in South Louisiana.... water is not a thing we are concerned about.

Nice design. One question that has kept me from doing something similar.

How do you plan on stirring the pile? The center can get too hot and kill the microbes that keep the compost.... composting. Or, does this kind of design keep that from happening since there is enough airflow? I'd think having a pipe in the middle might help there.

I can hear this picture. I had repressed that this was in the show, and there were many more.

Feel free to use whatever Tube Viewer you please, but here is a basic compilation: watch?v=3FtmsZ17FZE

That was the end of the roll. It wasn't a continuous loop, just 100-ish feet of towel that they needed to wash periodically.

It is considered spam if it's a copy/paste of the same message that continues to get deleted. This kind of thing would have been deleted on a basic forum. They were posting how to get around porn blocks, not asking for addiction resources.

I appreciate the effort. I had an addiction and it took me several years to get out of it without all of the resources we have today. Just understand how the internet is working. Post where people ask, and if it's deleted like this, don't be too surprised.

Your heart may be in the right place but remember:

Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them under their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

Any home built by DR Horton or DSLD (American contractors) are like this.

The homes look fine, but nothing is "bubble level". I had my attic ladder fall out of the ceiling due to some overweight things (and people) using it a lot to save things from some flood waters. We re-installed a new ladder, and made it "bubble level" which makes it now off from the ceiling itself. Now I'm working on filling the gaps between the ceiling and ladder frame in certain areas.

If you're hanging some pictures, eye level is fine. If you're doing anything else, please use a bubble.
