I've only built simple things in my life (tables, chairs, a bar once). . . but now I'm looking into building a wall. You'd think this would be an easy process.

On the gardening front, it is a pain to start it up, but my fall garden is growing decently, and I'm working on building some "convertible" greenhouses over two of my beds which I can hopefully pump a little heat into in order to do winter tomatoes or something.

I have a bunch of friends that brew beer (including one that's actually gone microbrew and opened a legit brewery). . . We're beginning to considering building gazebos in our backyards to grow hops on.

Trig Discipline posted:i would f'reals do some soundtracky stuff, that sounds awesome. i've been doing more and more orchestral stuff lately, just learning how to arrange for that sort of setup I try to do this every other month. Sit down for an hour every day and create a sound. It doesn't matter if it's good, it doesn't matter if it pans out. It matters that I make something, and possibly learn something in the process. (Hence I have a disassembled speak and spell sitting beside a monotribe that's hooked into my computer with a bunch of wires and pots and switches hanging out of it).

sounds good trig, it does have a nice flow to it. **edit** Another thing I do is some other electro synth people, a guitarist, and I get together and just "jam". No edits, just bang out 2 hours of loving around and then throw it on bandcamp. https://kowalskifamilyhoedown.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-the-lizard-king-and-i-taste-like-chicken something we made a month back, don't blame me on the names. enotnert fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Feb 5, 2014 |

echinopsis posted:there is no way i could ever pick up something i made a month ago and carry on with it. not only do i find my old material terrible, but it's also completely foreign to me, as if i have never heard it before. i know the feeling, but it's one of those things I'm having to force myself to do. Hate it, hate it until you have to force it into something new. This is one of the reasons I enjoy working in ableton, I'm learning more about it, but it also makes it easier for me to just gently caress with things.

Since there are still people talking caps, I shall state I learned what a capacitor was when my evil best friend was walking toward me in the hall at school when I was 12 and went "hey buddy, catch" Later in that year we worked on stun guns based on disposable cameras, and one other friend still has scars from that.

Jonny 290 posted:oh wow. is that in front of like a sliding/french door or something? did you find a screen that just happened to fit or did you do it custom french door is in the planning phases (lol owning a house and having to renovate on a budget, rule36 or something). It's actually in front of a slide up garage door that goes into my goon hovel, i let sound bleed out from the back, and feed the signal through a 40 foot HDMI cable to a 3d projector I picked up off of woot for like a buck sixty. I measured the door, and searched screens that would physically fit, there is about a 1/2" of clearance on each side of the screen housing, and I get ~100" screen effective. Tested the 3d last night with friends, cheap projector so IR sync doesn't work, but DLP Link works perfectly with downloaded files and youtube shits. **Edit**  granted this poo poo is ghetto as gently caress right now (gotta have that fabric there cause there is a street lamp right across the street that causes annoyance, working on a more professional solution, but this is good for testing). I also have plans for screening in the carport, cause you just can't live in the south without a screened in porch. enotnert fucked around with this message at 22:13 on Apr 20, 2014 |

Today we are building a fence so we no longer have to see our jackass neighbor.  in a couple of weeks I'm having surveyors come out because he's being a dick about property lines, and the current GIS maps state half his shop/etc in his backyard are on my property(including his chlorination system for his pool!). . . so yeah I love this neighborhood, except for that fuckin guy.

Corla Plankun posted:i'm glad i dont own a house in the suburbs because this kind of poo poo would bring me so much joy while having a net negative gain on the world around me well it's also part of the fact that I'm a "nudist" so once we get it all up I can grill out in the backyard butt neked. That guy on the other side of that fence though is just the image of america. Other side of that fence is a $300,000 pool/outdoor kitchen, and the guy himself is a sleeve tatted, roid raging, likes to scream at my wife, but cowers around me, douchebag supreme. Also, it was fun to learn how to build a fence. My step dad in law has taught me a lot of poo poo, high voltage electrical wiring, fence building. . . and I teach him computery poo poo in return.

Panty Saluter posted:you are a much better man than i for not catching an aggravated assault charge by now Yeah, I've basically told the wife at this point that if he shows up in any way, tell him to sit tight and get me.

Valeyard posted:did you build the fence naked? Wish I could have, I can build the next section nude, because the folks who live behind us are in their late 80's, don't give a gently caress if I'm nude, and in general are cool as hell (just sad they're going the wayward route of life and might not be around for long, but they're nice as can be and will have a conversation for hours even if I'm just standing there naked). The husband is an old mailman, and my big dog will bark like crazy until he walks up and looks at her. . . he always goes "you walk the streets delivering mail for 35 years, eventually dogs know not to gently caress with you" enotnert fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Apr 27, 2014 |

spankmeister posted:so this has actually happened then? On a few occasions, last time was after the old lady got her hip replaced (her husband hasn't really been able to navigate stairs for 5-6 months at all, and she does with difficulty) and she warned me her kids, and grandkids would probably be about and to make sure I had something on if I heard folks in the backyard. Glad I did, came out one afternoon, and her 15 year old grand daughter was hanging over the fence petting my dogs, and wanted to talk about chiptune music that I was working on. I plan on putting a gate on the one along the back, cause even if they pass, if their kids move in, their kids are pretty cool, but walking around naked in sight of a child, or anyone who has an issue with it = no bueno. She's told her kids about me, in the case they move back. . . but like I said, they're cool too, and I'd hate to lose a good neighbor cause of a privacy fence, but I'd hate more to lose a neighbor, getting arrested, and put on a registry because their children saw me cutting the grass wearing nothing but boots.

ahmeni posted:have you considered that if youre a dude who walks around nude all the time and your neighbour is upset you built a fence and wont yell at you directly that he may be jerkin it to you on the down low I wish that were the case, but honestly, i could almost see it out of this guy. . . He has a bunch of expensive poo poo, including a high end pontoon (with no reg numbers/etc) on the side that he used to roll the trailer into his backyard, and have a party all night, with nothing but women in bikinis. He might be overcompensating, no clue. Dudes a jackass though (and normally I don't walk around nude in the backyard, unless I know he's away, or it's late at night and his motion sensing lights in his backyard aren't on).

evidently now I do small engine, and electric mower repairs. On the bright side, I have enough poo poo around to cut my grass. On the blight side, I have like 4 mowers sitting in my carport like a honest south carolina redneck.

 Someone gave me this thing. It needs a little work, and some upgrades folks tend to do on it to make the sound a bit cleaner, but as it came it works alright. Just got a few things that I'll need to solder into it, and possibly acquire a better headset/cartridge for it.

Panty Saluter posted:i never understood felt turntable pads, seems like it would hold static electricity and such This thing literally came, all original, in box. . . It's really a pretty thing to have, outside of the crockpot comments. . . I'm waiting on a new audio technica cartridge to come in, along with a phono pre-amp, and a new slipmat. The felt mat don't make sense to me, but considering that fucker was made the same year I was born, I have a piece of 31 year old felt that is still in pristine condition. That's kind wild.
