Tomorrow at 9 in pairs, as usual
Walking in the frost, obscene indecent
Overhead still dark sky cover
Let’s go for knowledge, depriving ourselves of sweet dreams
Let's get down to homemade wisdom ...
And again, the wire in everyday life
I did the storytelling "Wire for all occasions"A couple of articles. The third did not have enough material, I decided not to delay it and put it here.
There was a case, the iron lever of the mechanism of the drain barrel was eaten by insidious rust in the area that was supposed to press the valve and block the filling with water. Then, using force and a tool, I bent up a stored nail (captured, obtained in a labor battle) and screwed its wires to the surviving part of the lever. This design served ... for a long time, but last month it was discovered that time had done its job here. Having obtained a piece of AVVG 6mm2 wire from the bins and having spent some time on fitting, I replaced the organ:
Maybe you noticed there is one more modification: a hose at the outlet of the regulator, it reduced the noise of the accumulating water.
Tool box latch
Suitcase is my suitcase, oh, no luck with the owner. They gave me a new one so that it would not “be dishonored,” but I did not abandon my Franinstein. The lid lock is made of a handle from a tin can of engine oil (I still got my strategic supply of oil). The metal was quite tenacious and withstood my adaptation actions. After mastering a few additions, I got a design that has been serving me for years.
Small storage
Craft from my childhood, it will be useful to many: fishermen for hooks, carpenters for cloves and self-tapping screws, electronic engineers for details, craftsmen for beads or buttons, each will adapt in its own way:
Electrician lotion
Something I made and it was necessary to make adapt. I wanted to do it for a very long time, but as always, my hands did not reach. ShVVP 2x0.75 mm2 (could be confused with PUGNP) and a pair of crocodiles and a light bulb next to it are shown here, they can be used for work in the switchboard. Tip, it’s better to pick up a short wire with a crocodile for the phase, if someone accidentally pulls the wire, then the probability of an interfacial circuit is lower. By this principle, you can make many useful lotions.
Crutch for Claudia
It was, my mother, in anger for my long sitting at the computer, I hit my clave. Klava lost her leg and it was not very convenient to type. Maybe she thought (Klava) that she would go to rest .. BUT NOT HERE IT WAS! I, the persistent exploiter! He built a crutch for her, now it’s even more convenient, even better than it was.
Eyelid door
My mother is also a good craftswoman, even taught children crafts, being a teacher. This is from her home solutions, cloves and oil bottle cap:
Wall shelves
Also created by my mother, in my absence. The more space, the more trash, the law of life. It was too lazy to shoot and they remained.
Towel holder
Despite the loops and hooks, the towels fell off, and for one time I attached a couple of additional holders, then removed them, since no one wanted to operate them (except for me).
Rigid hinge fixation
Once I noticed that the door on the locker squinted, upon examination it was discovered that the fasteners were loose and were no longer holding.
And I remembered one interesting expression:
No instruction can list all the duties of an official, provide for all individual cases and give further relevant instructions, and therefore, gentlemen, engineers must take the initiative and, guided by the knowledge of their specialty and the usefulness of the case, make every effort to justify their appointment.
(Circular of the Maritime Technical Committee No. 15 of November 29, 1910)
There is a shortened version (I’m sorry, but I won’t throw words out of wisdom): “Think of a reptile, for that head and dadin!”
Rummaging in my bins, I found in the above article from a matchbox several very short self-tapping screws with a wide hat. With a screwdriver on the edge and shouting "Banzai!" I completely chained the hinge to the door. It is important to check the length, you can use washers, including wire.
Home-made latch
On the jamb, the seat was broken and the pin fell off the latch, which was replaced by a metal screw. On the jamb lining is made of the remains of a collapsed latch.
About jambs, if it has cracked and the door starts to shuffle along the floor, you can try to put a piece of paper under the jambs, thereby changing the roll or making an insert from the wire into the door hinge, as I described in one of my articles, in which there is also about latches.
USB extension cable mount
“Progress is when there are not enough sockets at home” as applied to USB ports. Hubs, of course, are good, but the drop in speed is significant. I used extension cords, it’s more efficient. For convenience, I attached them to the table using the clips shown previously:
Bonus: master joke
I really don’t like it when friends talk very badly about their body parts. Beauty is a rather subjective concept. In particular, I do not like what they call their "fifth point". I will not raise the topic of psychology here, for a long time this. At the time of my thoughts, it occurred to me to make a “cautionary picture” expressing my discontent in a subtle humorous form.
Finally, the advice to the fair sex: do not speak badly about yourself, because it does not paint you at all. It is impossible to please everyone, but the best beauty is natural!
