XCPuff posted:I dunno where you live but pretty much every "starter house" is shaped just like this. Any house on a narrow lot is shaped like that just because they want to maximize space between houses. Beyond that, I don't see why it would be an issue since most people enter their own house through the garage that they park their car in.

I'm not big on the red font or that it's an overpriced Armani Exchange watch, but I actually like how it looks aside from those things. I think with a gray font it could look pretty cool.

Meatwave posted:This is awesome. What did you use to cut log sections so thinly and evenly? Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I saw some similar, but smaller pieces on Etsy and some of the artists said they'd do pieces about the size of the one I made, but they wanted around $600+ shipping for them, so I decided to make it myself. It ended up taking way longer than I thought, mostly because the quality of the wood I was getting here in Orlando wasn't very good so I ended up cutting probably 2-3x the amount of slices I actually needed just to get enough that looked good enough to use. Lots were full of insect holes. The slices were all done with a 10" miter saw. They vary in thickness on purpose, probably between half an inch to an inch and a half. I could take some more photos to give you a better idea on depth and detail. Shoot me a PM with your email address.

Found a pretty good deal on a barely used Rancilio Silvia espresso machine on Craigslist yesterday so I made a spur of the moment decision to upgrade from my Gaggia. The guy selling it runs a few coffee carts and bought it for home use, but ended up getting a deal very soon after on a larger unit so he was looking to see this one. He's used it only three times and he had both the single and double spout portafilters for it. Around $750 in equipment that I picked up for $400. I'm pretty satisfied.

CaseFace McGee posted:That's totally worth 4 bills, nice find. Our machine was almost that much, and yours will certainly make better froo-froo lattes than ours can It definitely does a hell of a job steaming milk, that's for sure. I've only made one latte so far, but holy crap was the steam wand much more powerful than my Gaggia. I ordered a bunch of small things for it today as well. A proper tamper, knock box and a tamping mat. I'll probably end up getting a bottomless portafilter for it soon too, just because they look so awesome.

1redflag posted:Meh, the 120 minute is okay. I bought one a few years ago (the single 12oz bottle cost 8 bucks) and was dissapointed; it is simply too sweet. I'm a huge fan of the 90 minute and other imperial (harpoon's leviathan is delicious) and double ipa's (great divide's Hercules is great), so it was kind of a let dow. 120 minute varies year to year in taste. I don't think it's on purpose but it does. I've had quite a few bottles of it and it always tastes a little different. I definitely remember someone telling me one year it was too sweet.

I bought a set of arms to mount my old Nikonos strobes to my new Ikelite underwater camera housing for my DSLR. I also ordered the cable to sync them up. I'm really hoping everything gets here for Friday so I can use it when I dive at the Devil's Den Cavern on Saturday. (Not this exact arm setup, but similar)  Bonus picture of the rad cavern.

Most of this was bought over the past few months, but I finally just finished everything. Those 3D wall panels were a goddamn pain in the rear end and I wouldn't do them again given the choice. They look nice, but god drat that was a lot of joint compound and sanding. I'm going to be finding dust in the house for weeks. All in all I'm super happy with everything and glad I decided to install everything myself. I do need to find a wall mounted wine rack for the booze side though. Maybe something coffee related for the other side. I have a beer already fermented and ready for the kegerator too.

axia posted:A)Looks awesome! It's a Kegco dual tap unit. I accidentally ordered the wrong one though. I meant to get the one that had the built in LED temperature control on the front and didn't realize I ordered the wrong one until it showed up. I had to put an access hole to where the temp knob on the rear of the kegerator is inside the cabinet, which actually isn't the worst thing because it's another place for air to flow for the unit. I added the perlick faucets to it as an upgrade. I ordered everything from Beverage factory and they were awesome. They give you a ton of options when you're buying it so you can change/upgrade features on all their kegerators.

McSpergin posted:Here, have a rendered 3D image of my design. That's pretty awesome. The dual tap setup is sufficient for me, mostly because it is just my wife and I in my house and my wife doesn't drink at all, so two 5 gallon kegs of beer will last me quite a while. Most of my beer drinking friends are about 30 minutes from me to, so the vast majority of what's in there will be consumed by me. The one thing I have left is that I'm going to buy sliding shelves and a door mount for them so the left cabinet pulls all the way out to hold my glassware. I'm also potentially getting my friend with a 3D printer to make me some custom tap handles.

My current dive computer is having some issues with the battery connections and I've been looking to upgrade a bit, so I found a pretty good deal on a used one that is a couple years old online. I'm really looking forward to using the transmitter so I don't have to have a physical gauge for my tank anymore.

Ishamael posted:Just bought the 128gb iPhone 6, so far I am liking it. I bought one ahead of time on Amazon by Spigen. It's the dual layer rubber/plastic bumper style, I think it's called the Neo Hybrid. Edit: Finally picked up a full frame body to use as my main so I can relegate my 40D to backup duty and use in my dive camera housing. I've contemplated on getting a used 5D for a while, but when this came out and I saw the low noise at high ISO, I was pretty sold. Found a very lightly used one for $1300 and made the plunge.

 An 07 SV650 with a little over 9k miles. It's in great shape mechanically and has brand new tires. The only thing wrong with it is that the first owner kept it outside so there's a decent bit of sun fading on the plastics. I'm really not that concerned with that though, especially since it's my first bike. I can't wait to get it registered so I can really ride it.

I think I've only missed a stud once and it was in a non-standard stud spacing area so I knew it would be a guess. The key to using them is to start from one side and mark where it first beeps. Then go from the other side and mark where it first beeps, then put your nail/screw right in the middle.

It does make me wonder if my name is on the cards though, since it's the name on the credit card that paid. Either way, it's going to be fun when all this stuff starts showing up at their house without any advance warning. Damnit, I just left today for two weeks so I'm going to miss the fun of tiny daily packages. I'll just get a pile of them when I get home.

LTBS posted:I got this because I hate regular flossing and I was about out of floss so yeah... neat! I say this every time when someone posts one of these, but they're not really a substitute for manual flossing. They just can't clean between the tight areas of the inner sides of the teeth like actual flossing can. That being said, they are a fantastic tool and should be used as a supplement, especially if you've ever had any gum irritation. I own one and love it.
