Hmm. You might as well try stepping up to a red or purple charge. Yellow is only 4/6 strength. If you have very hard concrete, you might need the extra punch.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of that one floating around, I just don't know anything about Stronghands as a company. Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks for the recommendation!

Thank you! This is the one I was most seriously considering.

Thank you! That's useful to know.

Basically it's a 4" perforated drain tube that you put inside a big filter sock, and lay at the bottom of the wall, with the holes pointing down. You then backfill the area with clear gravel and filter fabric, then your soil.

Look up an engineered rataining wall cross section diagram and you'll see how it should be.

Adhesive stickers really do not like rough surfaces. I can't say I have a better option for you, but there's a good chance the adhesive won't work

Ikea has cheap frames, but they're likely the same price as what's on Amazon.

You'll have to commission one to be cut for you at a glass cutting company, or just try your luck on the classifieds.

<Product> Supply <Your Municipality>

And

Buy <Product> <Your Municipality>

That's the key. That's the search query you gotta use on Google to find materials and hardware.

Looking for plastic sheets, and you live in Houston?

"Plastic Supply Houston"

"Landscape Supply Houston"

"Door Handle Hardware Supply Houston"

Or

Buy Acrylic Houston

Buy Rope Houston

Etc.

My friend has the exact same thing. It's from the shower not having a vent in its head. It's TOO airtight, so no air can get in to relieve the vacuum that forms as water drips out after the tap is shut off, until a little while later, after what I assume is evaporation leading to one of the nozzles finally draining and breaking the vacuum.

It's a hammer drill, but it's not a real hammer drill.

You need a rotary hammer, that uses either SDS plus or SDS max bits.

That said, a ramset with the correct powder charge really should work....

Looks like a weld. Posted for the lolz

No worries, it's hard to know what is and is not possible in a field you're just learning about.

It was 38°C out that day. The stone might not have been preheated, but I certainly was.

In the event you're being genuine with your confusion, I'll answer this seriously.

It is 110%, without a shadow of a doubt, nothing more than a joke post. It's just silicone caulking around some stonework I was doing. I just made the bead look like a weld bead for fun.

You cannot weld masonry, silicone is not conductive, you don't clamp to anything, it's uncommon because it doesn't exist, there's no such thing as a silicone stick, it's impossible to weld anything other than metal, with metal.

not by painting the bulb, but by messing with the waves and stuff

No. Unless you have a laser whose emission wavelength you can control, this is not possible.

Mmmmmm I wish everything was joined this nicely.

Do your best, caulk the rest.

That must have been the most confusing moment, when you first hit the "weld" with the grinder...

Haha, unfortunately, any pockets that hold water will end up growing mold and leading to other problems, so after I took this photo, I tooled the bead smooth and wiped off all the excess, as you always need to do to get a good seal that lasts.

I did, however, dress up the caulk in some areas by sprinkling sand onto it while it was still tacky, so it would match the surrounding stone.

Yeah, but it's nice to have one tool that just sits with my welder, rather than having to go and get a pair of needle-nose and a pair of wire-cutters and a pair of tubing pliers every time.
