Home Improvement

Home Improvement on Project Update Thursday... where manly men talk about manly things like ponies and friendship

They really should have two warnings sections - "Lawyer warnings" and "Really Important Warnings particular to this project"

If you haven't cut your tape measure with a miter saw, you're paying too much attention around dangerous tools.

Welcome to Project Update Thursday

@BMitch seems to require planning ahead which is out of spec :)

Only you can prevent party-pooping

you can abuse me, i dont mind

Just twist the wires together, so if somebody hooks it up in the future it trips the breaker or burns down the house. So they know they shouldn't have hooked it up.

wax off, wax on

@BMitch I'm such a bad person...

What an idiot, doesn't he know this can screw up the hinges?

lets just start staring everything

@ChrisCudmore wait, since when did people actually update us on their projects during PUT?

Fastest way to remove wallpaper, is to knock down the wall.

"DIY, terrifying homeowners since 2010."

I know this place is pretty frequented, so announcing this here should do some benefit - your Town Hall Chat is happening today, one hour after we shift into the Election Phase (17:00 EDT, 21:00 UTC).

Another 10k-er. Congratulations, @HerrBag

I'll give one free Torx or Robertson bit for every blog entry written in the next 6 months.

I don't know what's worse, that he has a laptop down his pants, or that he's making bacon without a shirt on.

and I bite out of love, like a puppy

Only 8%. seems like it has commitment issues.

Sweet! A sewer gas dispenser.

duck work goes with duck tape!

@SteveJackson's beaver brings users to the site.

I find it odd that I can't use the house broom in the garage, but my chisels can be used as screwdrivers!

I had to delete and recreate the Project Update Thursday event because there's no UI to change the time. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/info/111/…

Happy New (UTC) Year everyone!

@EmilioGort You could click on the "Locate a Dealer" button at the bottom of the page.

Q: How do you know if someone is a single woman on DIY.SE? A: They tell you in their question.

Just scheduled our first "Project Update Thursday". Feel free to drop by any time after 19:00 UTC.

But for the regulars that are here, I think a blog would be a great way to build more of a community so we can describe our latest adventure.

What about Habitat for Humanity? Can we get involved with them somehow, point the volunteers back to the site?

Woodworking.se is in commitment

The easiest solution is to get a small child that doesn't mind spinning around inside of the dryer to hold this in place while you're doing the laundry. :D

@TheEvilGreebo The insulation should work, but only sometimes. It should adjust with the thermostat.

@BigHomie Nope, no Home Improvement here. Move along...

@TheEvilGreebo Hey stranger! I've been largely absent myself, work is taking up 120% of my time lately, way too many DIY projects building up around the house.

I bow to superior logic.

If we destroy, Greebo loses rep. So that would be a positive...

power tools are more awesome

Watts, amps, what's the difference?

I'm not an Electrician, but I play one on the internet.

Hi guys, I"""MMMMMM back!! lol

Define:IIRC - I read this on the internet somewhere, but I don't want to cite the source (probably because the source is about.com, yahoo answers, eHow, etc.)

@NiallC. That thing looks dangerous. I like it already.

Oh, hats? Yippie!

@NiallC. something else

And he did use a power tool, so all is good.
