Partner and I got 50% of our rain barrel purchase covered by attending a small state run course on sustainable gardens. Totally worth it, and we can take it again to get assistance with other resources, like garden beds, standalone greenhouses…etc…

Acetone fucks your paint up, which probably costs more than replacing the lock.

Hypothetically, I would look up how to do it.

But, if I had to make something up on the fly, I would get a length of rebar and cut it in half at an angle so you get two equal lengths spikes, then I would find out what size trees are most likely to be targeted in a logging campaign, then climb up to that height on the tree and hammer them in.

Hypothetically.

Mothballs.

Or squirt super glue in the locks.

Sand+oil+paint mixture on the windows.

Stuff the radiator full of dryer lint.

There is no shortage of ways to cheaply and quickly fuck up equipment.

They sure do! And they still ruin expensive lumber mill equipment. Just a few trees can make an entire logging job unprofitable and not worth the risk.

Bonus, it’s a felony to spike a tree, so you’d qualify for being president as well!

Dig all that shit out. Put in a driver 1 size too large, press down on the handle with one hand, and give it a sharp counter-clockwise snap with the other hand.

I think the concern is that you would re-assemble it with the safety bypassed, not that you would harm yourself while disassembling the appliance.

Excuse me, I thought this was America!
