What did you accomplish today?

[ANC]

The problem is, you can faraday cage that ballast till you are blue, the noise is induced over the wiring system and turns the wires in your walls into an antenna

If you want to take out that stump, drill the largest hole you can down the centre, as deep as you can. Expose the side of the trunk by digging away some soil on one side. now drill a hole trough the side meeting the big hole down the centre.

Pour something flammable down the hole and light it. Once that fucker lights up it will burn right into the soil.

Next morning you can make a small fire over the last remaining bits to clear it all out.

I'll take out both stumps i have to do in 2 hrs with a rented stump grinder.

I wouldn't even know what that looks like. But burning them out works too and is free.

Tomatos!

DAMN! i imagine that smells fuckin AMAZING!!!! very nice indeed!

 

[UncleBuck]

leveled and bolted down the swamp cooler. knocked out the stupid skylight piece of shit. built an induction port (my term of art for it) that i can run the ducting through, sheetrocked and spackled inside to reduce the size of the hole (was 45x21, only need a 20x20 hole for ducting), insulated, caulked in the "induction port", and capped it off with plywood.

only thing left to do now is the custom built ducting and turn the damn thing on.

well that, and also flash the ever loving shit out of my "induction port" to make it completely waterproof and so that it will look pretty. i have tons of sheet metal, caulk, and actual ducting tape too. also found a nice roll of ducting insulation while i was shopping too.

getting that beast onto the roof was sketchy. it didn't help that my grunt had never climbed a ladder before.

I've found threads of various people using a faraday cage on ballast for rd interference. Mainly people 2with complaints about radio reception. Is that proof? No.

I have yet to read where the wiring becomes the antenna. Directly grounding the ballast should stop that.

My understanding its mainly a problem when the ballast is close to cable wiring.

One could also make sure all the cable wiring is rg6 double or quad shielded wiring.

Nice avi..lol

 

[Nugachino]

I accomplished being a shite saleman. And being annoyed with my fuckhead family treating me like a cash outlet.

Oh. And I tried doing more with my grow cabinet... Not much else I can do until I get a proper fan to replace that noisy mofo.

Do you know if run the ballast on 120 or 240 makes a difference?

Unless it's over a septic tank, then you do not want to introduce fire.

Good question. I'd like to know this as well.

I want to get one just to cook with. Imagine making soud vide ribs and then just throwing them on the grill for a char! Quick and smokey!

We used my buddies vacuum chamber with the heat pad to sous vide, or whatever, some chicken breast a couple months ago. Didn't like the texture of the chicken, kinda weird. I want to try some steaks and fish.

 

[ANC]

Sous vide is French for; "is yours also raw?"

 

[WeedFreak78]

I was picking no-see-ums out of my coffee all morning, I thought I dusted it with pepper when I fried my eggs... nope...I've stopped looking before I take a drink.. extra protein right? I think need better screens in the windows around here.

 

[ANC]

I had to google no-see-ums. Yeah, don't drink those.

Hmmm. I wouldn't think so. I would think the hertz would matter more. Maybe sine wave plays a role.
