Today, we create a composter from concrete to last for eternity.

This story started with an attempt to repair our damaged swimming pool.

We bough an entire pallet of concrete for the pool repair.

After only one day it became clear that a repair would not be an option and we had to

come up with an idea what to do with the concrete.

We decided to build a composter out of concrete and directly got started with cleaning up

an area in the shade.

After cleaning and leveling the ground we created a frame from an old door and poured

a concrete foundation of one by two meters in size.

The thickness of the foundation is 10 cm and we placed some rebar in the foundation to

anchor the walls.

While the foundation cured we started to create the form for the concrete walls.

The forms are made from pine boards and construction lumber.

The wall thickness of the compost is 10 cm and we want two separate composters on the

platform.

So we are building the inner wall as a box of 90 by 80 cm.

The pine boards are screwed to the construction lumber and the box is reinforced by 4 additional

pieces of lumber so that it can easily support the concrete.

With construction adhesive and silicone we place two 3x3 cm styrofoam strips against

the inner walls.

This will create a recess for the wooden boards at the front to sit in.

We also put some styrofoam at three locations in the lower part of the middle wall so that

compost worms can move from one side to the other.

The outer wall was constructed the same way and we assembled everything on the foundation.

We then spend quite some time mixing concrete, bringing it with a wheelbarrow to the site

and place it in the form.

In total we used about one metric ton of concrete for the build.

In the lower third, around the middle and in the upper third we embedded a 8 mm diameter

steel rod as a ring anchor to reinforce the concrete walls.

After the first compartment is cured we assembled the form again on the right side and poured

the concrete for the second half.

The purpose of the concrete is to keep rats and other rodents out but we have to ensure

proper ventilation - otherwise the compost might turn bad.

We used four seven and a half cm diameter pipes for the venting.

On the CNC we cut a circle in the exact size of the pipe from scrap OSB pieces that we

glue and nail to lumber scraps and thus form a stand.

The pipes are placed in the compost and will provide a proper ventilation.

More air will come through the front.

We cut some of the remaining pine boards to length and adjust their width to 15 cm so

that they close the entire front but leave enough room for spacers between the boards.

After putting these in place the only area to be closed is the top.

For the top we cut 30 by 30 mm angle iron for a steel frame.

The corners have notches cut into them so that we can weld them into a stable frame.

The back corners are reinforced with short pieces of flatbar as we might install there

a pneumatic cylinder to carry part of the weight.

The backside gets a few holes for hinges.

The hinges are hold in place with pop rivets.

We predrill and countersink 6 holes in each frame to later hold the metal sheet roofing

material.

For further insulation we put XPS foam in the frame before putting it upside down on

scrap roofing material we had from another project.

We then drill through the predrilled holes, through the sheeting and secure everything

with machine screws.

From some rubbery insulation material we create or own rubber washers with a hole punch to

ensure a tight seal of the holes.

With wall anchors and a few screws the lids are secured to the walls.

While the overall piece is not the most beautiful it should be a ver functional compost and

hopefully is going to serve us well.

The PIPLUP Build A Bear is here! |Eeveeemmy| - Duration: 4:55.

hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new my name is Eevee and as you

can tell from the title today we are gonna go build a build-a-bear

specifically we are going to go build Piplup and I'm pretty excited to go get

this one we are getting it a week late, its been about a week hasn't it?

(Joel: yeah) yeah but we did go and see it on day one

I'm super excited because the quality looks way better than Alolan Vulpix

one it is closer to like the plush consistency I would say of like the

squirtle with different fabrics and stuff but not quite as fuzzy as the Eevee

but it definitely did not have any transparency like Alolan Vulpix feet

so very excited! So we are at Fountain Gate BAB today

so lets go make us a Piplup! Theres a grinch and they have lots of pokemon at this one

its pretty good, I like the size of this store I love the Christmas ones

also the extra Australian exclusive bear this year is Hello Kitty how cute!

I love, theres two different ones. one has a pre-stuffed head and one doesn't but it's

pretty cute it's 40 Australian so I don't know how much it is wherever you are but is

it is 40 here

Joel's decided on the name what's the name? (Joel: Prince!)

Our little Prince? excellent!

I'm running low on energy so let's do this review in the car while

I'm still awake, so do you have any thoughts or feelings first before we talk about it?

(Joel: SO CUTE!) So we did name him Prince because thats what Joel decided.

you are looking at him way too lovingly like calm down! *laughter* alright so the

first thing I noticed with this one which I'm really pleased with there is

new transparency and the whites. all the like the fabric is like a soft

like plush material this time which is really good even the bottom here this is

kind of that rougher material but it's not as rough as say the Alolan Vulpix feet

it's not as soft as the rest. (To Joel: you know what I

mean? Joel: its okay) it's it's not quite like a felt but it's like I don't I don't know

fabric that well but overall the color quality is really nice and the builds

really nice we did pick the one that had the pre stuffed head and Joel moved

around the contents of its head before the staff members stuff the rest of it

because it was a little bit lumpy it's still a little bit peak to one side into

the top but we're gonna we're gonna mess around with a little bit to get like the

form to its best but overall this one has like no threads loose it some cuz

usually build the Bears will have one or two loose threads and the shape and the

form of this one is pretty good they can hold Cape kind of aspect of Piplup's

being done really nice the feet are formed really nice like I said no issues

with transparency it's all soft which is great and I like this one highly recommend.

(To Joel: do you recommend this one? Joel: I do recommend this one!) its so cute!

alright just a quick one from us today everyone so I hope you're all well

and we'll see you soon! Bye!

time for you to go to your friends where can you fit? right there, perfect!

I think you're gonna love where I put them (Joel: yes perfect) okay perfect!

How To Build A Suitcase Drum Kit - Duration: 13:19.

- Believe it or not, in this suitcase you see right now,

I have a whole mini drum kit packed in there.

I have a couple snare drums, a full hi-hat stand,

even a drum throne, and some cymbals in there as well.

This is a suitcase drum kit.

It's super portable, these are super fun to use

for like cafe gigs, maybe busking outside,

or just take to your house and like jam in your room

or something, it's a lot of fun.

I was able to put this together pretty cheap.

I just bought a suitcase from the secondhand store,

and the only other thing I had to buy

were the little floor tom leg bracket mount you see

on the front there, but the rest was put together

with just drum hardware I already had.

Alright, so the main ingredient

for a suitcase drum kit is a suitcase.

I picked this one up at my local secondhand store

for like three dollars, and all you have to do

to kind of prep it to get ready for your kit

is open it up and take out all the lining inside.

So I've done that one here, you can see it looks kinda messy

and nasty, but that's what it looks like

when you take out all the lining.

And it'll just help everything fit in way easier

when you do that.

So the first step I'm gonna do here

is mount my floor tom legs,

and I'm gonna use these two brackets

that are just regular floor tom brackets, mine's Gibraltar.

You can buy them at your local music store

for like around $15 each,

and those are gonna be the support legs

for the front of the suitcase.

So when you're hitting the pedal on the back,

it's not gonna fall forward

because these things are gonna hold it up.

So the markings for these don't have

to be completely perfect

just because you can adjust the height

with these things this way.

So you just wanna make sure

that they're straight like this way.

(smooth jazz music)

I'm just gonna make a little mark.

Yeah, I'm gonna keep these little wing nuts

or whatever you wanna call 'em towards the outside

so that I'm not putting my fingers against this thing.

Alright.

So I just used a regular drill for this.

Chose the drill bit out first and measured it

with the screws here and yeah, it's just a regular drill.

You can use any kind.

Alright, so once you got that going,

take the screws off the back, try to fit in the holes.

If they're a little bit too small,

you can just go over them again, try and widen them.

Alright.

Now, I'm just gonna screw it in from the bottom.

Alright, so now, I have my brackets put on.

I'm gonna put the floor tom legs on, and then,

I'm gonna mount the bass drum pedal mount.

This, I actually just took off of

like one of those cheap bass drum risers that you can buy,

and it's just the bottom part.

So you can purchase that in a music store,

or if you don't have that, you can get creative

with some metal, maybe a piece of flashing or something.

And you create your own,

but I had this laying around so I decided to use it.

Alright, so just like the floor tom legs,

I'm gonna have to drill some holes

and mark where this is gonna go on the back.

Alright, again, just bolting it from the inside.

Now, we can mount our bass drum pedal on here

and be able to play some wicked beats.

So as you also notice, I've chosen a,

it's like one of the KAT electronic kit,

it's like a tennis ball beater.

It's like a much more soft, so it's not so like,

it doesn't sound like you're knocking on a door.

Sounds a little more--

Like a bass drum, so.

The bass drum's ready to go,

but I'm gonna also mount one cool,

fun little stack right here.

And I'm just gonna drill one more hole in there,

and then, I'll show you what I'm gonna do with that.

So I'm actually gonna mount it with an old hi-hat clutch,

and it's gonna go from inside the suitcase, hold on,

and then the stack is gonna go on top.

And then you can just screw it on.

And you can put anything you like on with this thing.

That'd be right about here.

Alright.

Now, I'll show you what I'm gonna do with the stack cymbals.

So I got a couple of little stacks here that I really like.

I'm using a Sabian AAX Air Splash

and then a Sabian Mini Holy China.

And they're stacked together like this,

and I'm gonna put them on there just like that,

but I need to put a fill on the bottom and one on the top.

So now, it's kinda like I have a mixed little hi-hat

or stack cymbal on the side of my bass drum.

So the hard part is over.

We just drilled a bunch of holes in this thing,

got it set up to be a bass drum.

Got some support on the front, got the pedal mounted,

and even a little stack cymbal on the front.

The next part here is getting all the hardware together

to complete your whole suitcase drum kit.

So I do have some hardware here already.

This is stuff I already had laying around.

It's nothing crazy and nothing super fancy,

but one thing I recommend doing

is when you get all this hardware together,

make sure it can fit in your suitcase first.

So kinda chose it out, and then fit it all in.

See if your hi-hat stand can fit,

see if your throne can fit,

and then take it all out and put it together.

So you might have to do that a couple times

'cause you probably will add little too many things

in there, so just do that a couple times.

I'm gonna start with the drum throne.

When I put this together, I made sure it'd fit

in the suitcase first, but I'm actually gonna use it

to hold onto my snare drum.

I picked out a little twelve-inch snare

that actually has a side clamp,

and that was so I didn't have to use a snare drum stand.

So here's what I'm gonna use for the snare drum clamp.

It's just like a cymbal arm made by Pearl,

and it's gonna clamp onto the bottom of the throne here.

And for the snare drum, I'm using this one.

It's a little twelve-inch Sonor snare,

and as you can see, it has this little mount right here,

which I can use for that cymbal on the clamp.

Alright, so I'm gonna mount my cymbal arm

right onto the base of the throne right here.

If you're scared it's gonna damage your throne,

then I wouldn't recommend doing it.

Maybe mount it down here or something like that,

but I think it's pretty safe to do that.

If you do do that, make sure you get the height

of your throne first 'cause you're not really gonna be able

to adjust it once you put that on.

And I also recommend putting the foot forward

to give you some more support when the snare drum's on here.

Otherwise, it'll fall forward on you, so.

Alright, now put the snare drum on, and...

I actually like playing traditional grip

so I don't mind if the snare drum

is tilted a little bit forward.

I actually prefer that myself.

Perfect, so that's the snare drum.

Obviously, if you can fit a snare drum stand

in your suitcase, you don't need to go this route,

but yeah, I recommend trying it out

'cause it might save you a lot of space

in your suitcase, so.

Alright, I'm gonna get the hi-hat together now.

So I do recommend when you use a hi-hat stand

that you use one of the folding ones

because it'll take up a lot less space in your suitcase,

and when you do take it apart,

make sure you take that apart as well

because it'll give you more room.

Perfect, so next, I'm gonna mount my,

I have like a little micro-snare.

It's a six-inch LP micro-snare, and that's gonna sit

just above my snare drum here

and acts just like another tom or an extra snare drum.

Just a little more things to hit.

So in order to mount this snare drum, I'm actually using,

it's a tom arm, and I'm gonna hook it

right onto the stand here

and then I'll move it close enough so that it sticks out.

So once you got it on there, make sure you get

to the height that you like, and you might adjust it

as you get everything together.

You might lower the heights or whatever.

Alright, so next, I'm gonna mount my crash cymbal

right here, and I have one more external cymbal arm clamp,

which I'm just gonna clamp to the hi-hat stand as well.

So for cymbal choice here,

I have some actually splash cymbals.

I'm gonna use those as my hi-hat cymbals.

They're nice and small.

Just 'cause everything is so close together here,

it just kinda fit, I thought, fit well.

And they sound cool together.

And I just have a 17-inch crash,

which is gonna act as a crash/ride cymbal.

So final step is just move your suitcase,

and you are ready to play on your kit.

Alright, guys, so that was pretty simple, pretty quick.

Let's get this thing mic'd up and see how it sounds.

For a tiny kit that fits into a suitcase,

this is a pretty killer option.

It was super easy to make, very cheap, tons of fun,

and I was able to mostly use things I already had.

So yeah, I hope you guys have fun with that.

Try on your own, try experiment

with some different hardware options, suitcase sizes.

I do recommend like the more firm suitcase though.

It's gonna give you a better sound.

With the set up I have here,

like what do you guys think I'm missing?

Would you add something different?

Or maybe when you make your own,

what would you guys add that you feel I'm missing here?

Hit us up in the comments, we'll catch you guys later.

how to build a business - Duration: 2:51.

Hi everyone, this is the first video that I want to share for the 30 day challenge.

What I want to talk about today is starting your own business. Now I'm not

an authority, I'm not a guru, I'm not someone who has you know million dollars

in the bank, however that might be possible. I am someone who has started a

few businesses. And have had some defeats along the way. I wanted to share with

you some tips that I've learned not only just through my doing but others out

there who are teaching this as a viable way to make your own way in the world. So

the first one is most people start with an idea. You have an idea you think it's

a great idea and you want to turn that into a business. That's awesome

but how do you do it? Right, so what you need to do is find the resources. Read

books, find videos, courses, anything that can help you turn that idea into an

actual business. The best one, is step two which is to find a mentor. Find someone

who's already done it. If you can have someone coach you or guide you it's so

much easier than having to do it alone. That's an uphill battle and it will be

harder. A mentor can at least give you the steps that they took to create the

business into what they have it as today. So find a mentor, find a course, find a

book, find some videos that will work for you. However you learn best and devour

that information taking as much as you can. Because that will help guide you in

creating your business. Okay the third thing is take action tell people about

it. Join networking events, go to any of the

local groups, start posting on your social media saying that you're starting

your own business, talk to everyone and anyone about what it is that you're

doing. The only way that you're going to be successful is by having others help

you and you helping others. So tell people about it however you need to do

that. You can run ads those ads could be very reasonable on Facebook or LinkedIn

they could be cheap on Craigslist. How ever there is a clientele so make

sure that you are hitting your target audience. But either way

take action this only way anything's gonna grow is through action. And the

last part is believe. Believe in yourself. Believe that you can find the resources

if you need them. Believe that you can reach out to the right people if you

have to but you have to believe. You have to believe that you can be successful

and you have to believe that it's already happened that you are successful.

That things will work out for you and are working out for you. You have

those things. If you have those four pieces you can make any business thrive.

Ok so again take your big idea, find a mentor, take action, and believe. Thanks
