#DIY Garage Model

[minimagicnook]

When I can't drive yet, I already have a mini garage of my own haha, which has a mechanic, an engine, and a vintage garage with glued so many nice pictorials. This garage is 1:64 real scale, 1:64 American-style garage miniature scene model.

[a-world-within-a-world]

Harley-Davidson Hummer papercraft. Scale 1/11.

It must be what-the-hell house Sunday. This one has a pending sale, though. It gets points for DIY effort, but you have to really like tile and the color combo blue & gray. 1956 ranch in Bloomington, MN, 4bds, 3ba, 2,438 sqft, $335k.

I've never seen a layout like this- walk in the front door and the stairs to the basement and a pony wall are dead ahead. There's a tile floor, but it changes to wood in the living room area to the right.

I wonder if they renovated this area, taking down walls- those columns look like new supports on a cut-down wall.

Behind the wall, there's a black kitchen with miscellaneous tiles. Everything is black, but they replaced the fridge with a less expensive white model.

I'm 99% sure, that they opened this whole area up, b/c open-concept is in demand. The exhaust hood is nice.

So, this would be the living room in front of the picture window.

And, then, this area would be a dining space.

I'd say that this is the primary bedroom.

And, a secondary bedroom.

Directly off the living room there's a full bath with a fancy modern sink, that doesn't hold water.

Some homemade storage, an elliptical-shaped jetted blue tub that looks like it's ceramic, and some dated tile.

Very large finished basement has a storage corner.

This must be a basement bedroom with an ensuite.

Interesting sinks and tile assortments in this house.

Laundry room down here.

If this is the garage, it's huge- goes all the way back.

Then, there's also a finished attic.

Maybe the 4th bedroom? With a tile feature wall.

Ensuite shower room. I'm fascinated by the blue laminate sink.

Here's a clothing closet.

Large yard has potential. 0.26 acre lot.

Matt Sturniolo x fashion designer/influencer reader

moodboards

matt sturniolo x fashion designer reader

y/n - 22 - fashion designer, influencer, artist, colorful outfits, thrifting, crazy hairstyles, amazing makeup looks, owns boy cats

~~

matt - 22 - youtuber, best boyfriend award, good listener, hypeman, thrift buddy, matches her cats energy, rings

Things about them

She leaves kiss marks on his face all the time bc of her bright makeup

They don't have much pda but when they do its small like forehead kisses or hugs from the back

They are always bouncing ideas off eachother especially for videos or promotion for fresh love and spacecamp

Having far too many inside jokes, mostly about failed fashion DIYs. When other influencers hang around them, they are very confused with wth the couple is saying. Its like they speak a completely different language with eachother.

Matt is her number one hypeman. He praises this women. You will never not see him in her comments. IRL he is always complimenting her. He treats her like she’s a goddess. (as he should)

She often brings him thrifting with her and teaches him how to find good quality items and material. 

Theyll have the cutest dates. Many of which are set building dates. They will literally just spend time in her garage painting and greeting props for her newest photoshoot. It does get pretty chaotic and paint is usually splattered everywhere by the end of it.

He definitely encourages her to make her own brand and has definitely volunteered to model for it.

They do fashion challenges on her channel like “Matt picks fabrics, I make an outfit” or “I thrift an outfit for him under $20.”

She loves making him the model out outfits she makes him for him. At first, he was nervous but then after hyping him up just as much as he does to her, he was acting like he was made for modeling.

When she first started dating him, she nudged him to start experimenting with new things with layers, accessories, textures, and shapes. His style definitely expanded over time.

She made custom jackets for him with embroidered things that remind her of him.

After awhile she started inspiring chris and nick to also try new things. Theyd def come to her in text asking for her advice to make their outfits better. Without fail she always found ways to make things more unique and fit them as people.

She has done limited addition collabs with fresh love and space camp.

She taught nick more about sets for photography and lighting.

She made a pinterest board for each of the triplets with ideas for outfits she thinks they should wear. She updates it constantly.

She loves doing makeup on matt and she makes a lot of excuses to give him guy-liner. we all know why.

She overworks herself a lot and many times matt has noticed. He will set up cute little pillow forts and gather her favorite snacks. He'll make her rest and have a fun time. Sometimes it will take a couple days before they actually put away the fort and actually do work.

Lastly, he is incredibly jealous of her cats. They get a lot of her attention. He swears they glare at him. He always feels like they are competing. She always just says that her cats are just cat versions of him. He denies but he knows deep down it's true.

miemie: remind me to post the blurb about their latest video with yn . also i didnt go through this so if something doesnt make sense sorry about that.

[mikufigureoftheday]

hello!! would u happen to know if there are any good blank/paintable miku figures? my brother is a miku collector and i want to do something cool for him for christmas, but i dont want to paint over a perfectly good pre-done model ;w;

im trying to figure out my options before i dive headfirst into 3D file hunting to print her out...

thank you for ur time! i love ur blog ❤️

Always glad to help and I appreciate the support! ;3

Garage kits exist for this purpose!! They're blank figures you assemble and paint yourself! DIY Mikus lets go

They can be expensive tho depending on when/where you get them from, but you can usually find some that won't drain your entire bank account.

There's a guide on MFC HERE that goes over how to get them very well.

[theredoesnotexist]

Pleaseee (if you want to) tell me about eggpunk music (no pressure but I'm fascinated)

So I'm not actually a big listener of egg punk, I just know about it as an (actual) subgenre of punk, and have looked it up before. The name came out of 2010s Internet meme humor but the music and scene surrounding it is real. It's mostly like, lo-fi "eh whatever" Midwestern DIY turned up to 10, and apparently heavily inspired by Devo. Sound-wise it seems closely modeled after the garage rock ethos. Like literally recorded in somebody's garage with bargain bin instruments.

Spotify's made for you mixes are always a bad way to understand a particular genre they're named after because those are algorithmically generated based on listening patterns and not actually based on typical genre standards. The Sounds of Spotify (the account attached to the extinct site Everynoise) still has a playlist for every single genre tracked by Spotify and while some of them are certainly bullshit, it's a much better thing to peruse to get a sense of a particular genre.

I do not have any recommendations for what egg punk artists to listen to because again I do not listen-listen to egg punk, as in seek it out, I just know about it because I snap up any music that crosses my path like an auditory opportunist. And I don't know what the big names are in egg punk

PPF Installation Mistakes to Avoid: A Complete Guide for Car Owners

When it comes to keeping your car looking showroom-fresh, Paint Protection Film (PPF) is one of the best investments you can make. This invisible shield safeguards your vehicle’s paint against scratches, chips, bird droppings, UV rays, and road debris. However, even the best quality film won’t perform well if it’s poorly installed.

Whether you're considering a DIY project or hiring a professional, avoiding common PPF installation mistakes is crucial to achieving long-lasting protection and a flawless finish. In this guide, we’ll explore the top PPF installation mistakes car owners should avoid and how to ensure your Paint Protection Film delivers maximum value.

1. Skipping the Prep Work

Why It’s a Mistake: Proper surface preparation is the foundation of any successful PPF installation. Skipping steps like washing, claying, or decontaminating the car can trap dirt or residues beneath the film, causing bubbles, peeling, and poor adhesion.

What to Do Instead:

Wash the car thoroughly using a pH-neutral shampoo.

Use a clay bar or iron remover to decontaminate the surface.

Perform an IPA wipe-down to eliminate any oils or waxes.

Consider a light polish if the paint has swirl marks or imperfections.

2. Installing PPF in a Dusty or Open Environment

Why It’s a Mistake: Dust, wind, and fluctuating temperatures can wreak havoc on a PPF installation. A single speck of dust can cause visible imperfections under the film and lead to long-term adhesion issues.

What to Do Instead:

Always install Paint Protection Film in a clean, temperature-controlled studio or garage.

Use proper lighting to catch flaws as you go.

If installing outdoors is the only option, try to set up a clean tented area and avoid windy days.

3. Choosing the Wrong Type of PPF

Why It’s a Mistake: Not all PPFs are created equal. Cheap or outdated films may turn yellow over time, offer poor clarity, or lack self-healing properties. Picking the wrong type affects both aesthetics and protection.

What to Do Instead:

Choose high-quality, branded Paint Protection Film known for durability and UV resistance.

Look for features like self-healing, hydrophobic topcoats, and warranty coverage.

Consult with professionals to determine the right film for your car model, paint type, and climate.

4. Stretching the Film Too Much

Why It’s a Mistake: Some installers over-stretch the Paint Protection Film to make it fit complex curves or panels. This can cause the film to lift, shrink, or create tension that leads to peeling around edges and corners.

What to Do Instead:

Use pre-cut kits designed specifically for your vehicle.

When doing custom installations, heat and stretch the film moderately.

Secure edges with proper wrapping techniques to reduce stress.

5. Using Too Much or Too Little Slip Solution

Why It’s a Mistake: Slip solution (a mix of water and soap or alcohol) allows the installer to move the PPF into place. Too much, and the film won’t stick properly. Too little, and it becomes impossible to adjust the film without causing wrinkles or stretch marks.

What to Do Instead:

Use the recommended ratio of soap to water (usually 1-2 drops per liter).

Apply more slip solution during positioning and less when setting the film permanently.

Use a tack solution (water and isopropyl alcohol) on edges or curves that need strong adhesion.

6. Not Using the Right Tools

Why It’s a Mistake: PPF installation requires more than just your hands. Without the proper tools, it’s easy to create bubbles, creases, or uneven finishes.

What to Do Instead:

Always use a professional squeegee with soft edges.

Keep microfiber towels on hand to clean up excess solution.

Use a heat gun for tricky curves and corners.

Have a spray bottle for slip and tack solutions at all times.

7. Ignoring the Drying and Curing Time

Why It’s a Mistake: Rushing to wash or expose your vehicle to rain or sun immediately after installation can ruin the bond between the paint and the film.

What to Do Instead:

Let the PPF cure for at least 48–72 hours before washing or exposing to moisture.

Avoid driving in heavy rain or harsh sun for the first few days.

If bubbles form during this time, consult your installer—they might dissipate naturally or require professional correction.

8. Poor Edge Sealing

Why It’s a Mistake: Improperly sealed edges allow water and dirt to seep underneath the Paint Protection Film, leading to lifting, discoloration, or permanent failure of the film.

What to Do Instead:

Use a tack solution and heat gun to secure edges tightly.

Wrap the film around edges and panel gaps when possible.

Trim excess film carefully without damaging the paint.

9. Trying to DIY Without Experience

Why It’s a Mistake: While some car enthusiasts succeed with DIY kits, most DIY attempts without prior experience result in wasted materials and visible flaws. PPF is not like a simple sticker—it requires precision, patience, and practice.

What to Do Instead:

Start with smaller areas like the door cups or headlights before trying full-body applications.

Watch professional installation videos or attend training if you're serious about learning.

For full-body or complex installations, hire a certified PPF installer.

10. Not Asking for Warranty or Invoice

Why It’s a Mistake: Some installers offer attractive prices but skip warranty coverage or don’t provide proper invoices. This leaves you unprotected in case of film failure or installation errors.

What to Do Instead:

Always ask for a written warranty—good Paint Protection Films offer 5 to 10 years of coverage.

Check if the installer is certified by the film manufacturer.

Make sure to receive a proper invoice with the brand and installation details clearly mentioned.

Why Professional Installation is Worth It

Even if you understand all the above mistakes, executing a perfect installation is a highly skilled job. Certified PPF installers:

Use computer-cut patterns specific to your car model.

Ensure dust-free, climate-controlled conditions.

Apply the film without over-stretching, bubbling, or wrinkling.

Offer post-installation inspection and touch-up services.

You’re not just paying for the film—you’re investing in experience, tools, and assurance.

Final Words: Avoiding Mistakes Equals Long-Lasting Protection

Paint Protection Film is an investment that can extend the beauty and value of your vehicle. But even the highest quality film can fail if installed improperly. By understanding and avoiding the most common PPF installation mistakes, you ensure your car gets the seamless, high-gloss, and durable protection it deserves.

Whether you go the DIY route or trust a pro, remember: preparation, precision, and patience are key to unlocking the full potential of Paint Protection Film.

Secure and Swift: Professional Garage Door Repairs in Adelaide Homes

It was late in the evening when a homeowner in Adelaide heard a sudden snap and a loud thud from the garage. Upon inspection, the garage door was crooked, stuck halfway open, and dangerously tilted. This kind of mechanical failure is not only inconvenient but can also pose a safety risk to residents and property. This article explores the importance of timely Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement and the critical need for dependable Emergency Garage Door Repair in Adelaide, especially when fast action is essential to maintain home security.

Understanding the Role of Garage Door Cables

Garage door cables are often overlooked components of a door system, yet they perform vital lifting and counterbalancing functions. When they snap or become worn, the entire mechanism can fail, often rendering the door inoperable. Prompt Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement ensures continued functionality and safety. Frayed or broken cables can lead to sudden door drops, increasing the risk of injury or property damage. Addressing cable wear before a complete failure occurs is crucial for extending the life of the door system and maintaining smooth operation.

Recognising Signs of Cable Issues Early

Cable damage doesn’t always announce itself loudly. Sometimes it begins with minor jerking motions, uneven door alignment, or unusual sounds during movement. These are often early indicators that Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement may soon be necessary. Ignoring these warning signs can allow minor faults to escalate into major mechanical failures. Regular inspection and maintenance not only prevent emergency breakdowns but also support the longevity of other interconnected parts like rollers, springs, and openers that rely on the cables functioning correctly.

Urgency in Garage Door Emergencies

Garage doors are more than just entry points they’re integral to home safety and daily convenience. When they fail unexpectedly, fast and reliable service becomes essential. Delays in responding to breakdowns can expose vehicles and property to theft or weather damage. The need for Emergency Garage Door Repair in Adelaide is particularly high during storms, late hours, or weekends, when access to service is limited. These emergencies require trained technicians who can quickly diagnose and resolve the issue, restoring functionality and peace of mind.

Situations That Require Immediate Repair

A door stuck halfway, completely off track, or hanging from a single cable poses immediate safety concerns. In such instances, calling for Emergency Garage Door Repair in Adelaide can prevent further complications, such as injury from falling doors or damage to vehicles trapped inside. Emergency technicians are equipped to handle high-tension repairs and realignments safely and efficiently. Whether the cause is a snapped spring, broken cable, or faulty opener, prompt intervention ensures that homes remain secure and that access is quickly restored.

Why Professional Repair Matters

Garage door systems are under significant tension, especially in larger or older models. DIY repairs, especially involving cables or springs, can lead to injury or worsen the damage. Opting for professional Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement ensures that trained technicians with the right tools complete the job safely. Experts not only replace the damaged component but also inspect for related issues, reducing the chance of repeat problems. High-quality cable replacements also come with warranties, offering added assurance and peace of mind to homeowners.

Seasonal Impacts on Garage Door Performance

Weather conditions in Adelaide can affect how garage doors perform. Moisture, temperature fluctuations, and debris buildup can lead to accelerated wear on cables and door tracks. During colder months or periods of heavy rain, door systems often experience strain. Having access to reliable Emergency Garage Door Repair in Adelaide becomes especially important during these times. Seasonal check-ups can help identify vulnerable components, such as rusted cables or stiff rollers, and ensure that the system is ready to handle changing weather conditions.

Balancing Maintenance and Emergency Services

Routine maintenance and inspections go hand-in-hand with emergency services. While Garage Door Cable Repair & Replacement often begins with a visual inspection, emergencies demand immediate attention and action. A well-maintained door is less likely to fail, but unexpected problems can still occur. Professional service providers offer a mix of scheduled checks and urgent response options, helping homeowners keep their systems in optimal condition while having support when the unexpected arises. This balance of preparation and readiness defines quality garage door care.

Unleashing Power and Precision: DEWALT DEWDCG407N 18V BL 125mm Angle Grinder

When it comes to grinding, cutting, and finishing tasks, every professional needs a reliable tool that delivers consistent performance, safety, and comfort. The DEWALT DEWDCG407N 18V Brushless 125mm Angle Grinder is designed to offer that and much more. As part of DEWALT’s XR range, it combines brushless technology, cordless freedom, and robust construction into a tool that’s engineered for heavy-duty use in any setting—from construction sites to workshops to home garages.

This compact and powerful tool not only boosts efficiency but also ensures that users experience less fatigue over extended use. Whether you're a metalworker, fabricator, builder, or passionate DIY enthusiast, this grinder fits right into your workflow—providing unmatched control and versatility.

Brushless Motor for Maximum Performance

At the heart of the DEWALT DEWDCG407N is its state-of-the-art brushless motor. This isn’t just a marketing feature—it’s a core performance upgrade. Brushless motors have fewer moving parts, which means reduced friction, less heat generation, and a longer overall lifespan. This also results in greater power efficiency, allowing the grinder to deliver more work per battery charge compared to traditional brushed models.

The increased runtime is critical for professionals on the move. You can finish more tasks without needing constant recharges, making it ideal for fast-paced job sites where time and reliability matter most.

Cordless Convenience with Corded Power

One of the standout features of the DEWALT DEWDCG407N is its cordless operation. Traditionally, angle grinders were mostly corded tools due to the high demands they placed on motors and power sources. But with DEWALT’s XR 18V platform and brushless technology, the DEWDCG407N breaks through that limitation.

The tool is powered by DEWALT’s 18V Li-ion batteries (sold separately), which integrate seamlessly into the XR ecosystem. If you're already using other DEWALT cordless tools, you can use the same batteries, cutting down on the need for extras and saving costs. The result is a highly mobile grinder that doesn’t compromise on performance.

You can take this grinder into remote locations, rooftops, or confined spaces where cords would get in the way or where power outlets simply don’t exist.

125mm Disc Size for Versatility

The 125mm disc (5 inches) makes this angle grinder suitable for a broad range of applications. From grinding metal welds and removing rust to cutting through rebar or tile, this tool adapts quickly to your needs. Its moderate size hits the sweet spot between precision and power—small enough for tight spots, yet powerful enough to tackle demanding tasks.

It also supports a wide selection of cutting and grinding wheels, giving users the flexibility to switch between functions such as cutting, polishing, deburring, and finishing—all with one device.

Slide Switch Design for Safety and Control

The DEWALT DEWDCG407N comes with a slide switch that offers a secure and tactile feel when operating the tool. Unlike paddle switches that require constant pressure, the slide switch can be locked in the on position, allowing users to maintain a steady grip and focus on precision during longer jobs.

This is particularly useful during repetitive tasks, where consistent speed and grip comfort matter. The design also reduces the risk of accidental shutdowns, which can impact the quality of your work or cause unnecessary interruptions.

Electronic Brake and Clutch for Safer Operation

Safety is a top priority when working with high-speed rotating tools, and DEWALT has addressed this with several built-in features. The DEWDCG407N includes an electronic brake that rapidly stops the wheel after the trigger is released—minimizing the chances of injury and allowing quicker transition between tasks.

In addition, the electronic clutch helps protect both the user and the tool in case of sudden binds or jams. This reduces the risk of kickback, which can be dangerous, especially when working in awkward angles or with heavy materials.

Compact and Ergonomic Build

Despite its power, the grinder maintains a compact and ergonomic form. Weighing in at under 2.5 kg (without the battery), it is easy to maneuver even in vertical or overhead positions. The tool’s rubberized grip and well-balanced body ensure user comfort, especially during prolonged use.

The slimline profile makes it perfect for working in confined spaces—such as between metal studs, under vehicles, or behind equipment—where larger grinders simply won’t fit.

Built for Tough Environments

Construction sites are unpredictable. From dust and debris to temperature extremes, your tools need to stand up to rough conditions. The DEWALT DEWDCG407N is engineered to handle such environments with its durable housing and sealed electronics that resist contamination.

Its cast metal gear housing adds strength and improves heat dissipation during intensive grinding sessions. The design reflects DEWALT’s commitment to durability, making this grinder a worthy long-term investment for serious tradespeople.

Part of the Trusted XR Range

DEWALT’s XR range is known for innovation and battery efficiency, and the DEWDCG407N fits perfectly within this lineup. If you already own XR tools, this angle grinder integrates right into your workflow with full compatibility across batteries and chargers.

This ecosystem approach is one of DEWALT’s biggest advantages—allowing professionals to build a cordless kit that shares power sources and reduces clutter.

Who Should Use This Grinder?

The DEWALT DEWDCG407N is ideal for:

Metalworkers: For grinding welds, prepping surfaces, or cutting bars and plates.

Construction crews: For cutting rebar, trimming bolts, or shaping masonry materials.

DIYers: For automotive repairs, home renovation, tile work, or tool sharpening.

Electricians and plumbers: For fast cuts through conduits, pipes, and fittings.

Anyone looking for the power of a corded tool with the freedom of a cordless one will find unmatched value in this grinder.

Why Choose the DEWALT Cordless Angle Grinder?

There are many grinders on the market, but very few offer the perfect mix of cordless power, ergonomic design, safety features, and build quality. The dewalt cordless angle grinder stands out as a serious performer that keeps up with demanding job requirements while offering ease of use for less experienced users.

It’s a robust and thoughtful tool, clearly built with the real-world challenges of tradespeople in mind. Whether you’re trimming, cutting, grinding, or polishing, it delivers clean, efficient results every time.

Final Verdict

The DEWALT DEWDCG407N 18V BL 125mm Angle Grinder is more than just a powerful tool—it's a reliable workhorse for professionals and serious DIYers alike. With its cordless design, advanced safety features, brushless motor, and DEWALT’s signature durability, this tool earns its place in any toolbox.

If you’re upgrading your gear or building out a professional XR kit, this grinder is a top-tier option that promises performance, safety, and satisfaction for years to come.
