I have scavenged furniture for years. Furnished houses and apartments and squats and warehouses and busses.

Have never knock on wood had bedbugs.

Learn what they and their eggs look like and inspect the shit you’re grabbing first.

Once passed on a really nice couch in a nice neighborhood, because I spotted a half of an ass of one.

The stained old victorian style couch in the winco parking lot was fine though, lol

Four exposures!

still runs after her

Once was at a friend’s place for dinner. The whole family was rotund. Fine folks!

Dinner comes around, and their plates were HUGE. Like serving plate size, for a dinner plate. Portions to match the plate.

Just an odd example of the ‘stuff fills the space you allot it’ phenomena when you think about it, but maybe something to consider if you’re aiming to lose weight.

So! There’s a place in Philly called the Mutter Museum. Filled with all manner of human specimens of various ailments.

Absolutely fascinating. Like $20 admission. 100% worth it.

A couple of the pieces on display are the skulls and jaws of mouth breathers. I don’t know if they had an issue that required surgery that wasn’t available in the 1800’s, or if it was just bad habits, but.

Literally changes the shape of your bones. And therefore your face.

Fucking wild.

Also, I get it’s a restoration project, which are fun and wholesome, but Fuck push saws.

Pull saws are where it is at! Easier to keep on target, less work, and you can’t crease the blade on a cut and ruin the whole fucking saw

I think you’re the only other fucker in this thread who may have used their hands before

Drilling a spinning bolt is Not Easy. Not impossible, bit there’s better ways to go about things

No he fucking doesn’t

Wood glue isn’t going to hold on metal at all.

Anti-seize to stop spinning? What? No. Anti seize is shit you put on threads so that when you come back years later, they still move.

Long acting lubricant.

And drilling out a bolt that’s already spinning isn’t going to be a fun time
