I am not the bravest person when it comes so socializing, so I am not very forum-savvy. However, I am a nerd who loves to learn and I am going to do my best to share what I learn just in case it helps you all. ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
My town in Alberta, Canada. It actually used to be banned in a lot of Canada, like all of British Columbia, and Ontario. Old-fashioned people think it makes a neighborhoods look “trashy” and start going on about property value.
It’s sort of like how a huge amount of apartment buildings don’t allow anything on balconies because it’s “unsightly.”
Haha sadly, hanging your laundry outdoors is illegal here(also, it would freeze in winter), and indoors it takes forever to dry ╥﹏╥
I could be wrong, but I believe pilling is most commonly caused by friction (for example, where your legs rub when you walk), so one thing that would help is not washing clothes that tend to pill with clothes that have hard things like zippers or buttons. The balls might help by cutting down on the time the clothes rub together with the air-gaps they create, but I am not sure.
I have been told before that you can remove pilling with a razor, but please look it up before you try haha.
I like the idea of a wicker basket coffin with natural-fiber clothes…and an added sword just to confuse future archaeologists •ˋᴗˊ•
Interesting read! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! I will check if my library has it!
As far as I know (I have never 3D printed), yes. I vaguely remember a guy who tows around a 3D printer on his bike into parks, and prints parts for people. It wouldn’t be instant(I’m guessing they tell the person to come back later), but it is possible. I’ll try to find the video haha.
Keeping in mind I’ve never 3D printed, here are some sites that look promising.
https://www.traceparts.com/en https://grabcad.com/library
Also, I’ve seen tutorials for 3D printing on Instructables, and people sometimes give download files in the instructions.
This one doesn’t list all of them, but it has some: https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
This site might help with planning!
It looks like there are some! https://www.repaircafe.org/en/visit/
They go off of who volunteers. For example, if a person who specializes in fixing stand mixers volunteers, that will be one of the tables people can visit. That repair person brings the parts (for example, there are a few parts in stand mixers that tend to break, so the repair person would know to bring fixes for those). I have also heard of repair cafe’s elsewhere even bringing in 3D printers to help with part replacement.
Here is the text from a recent one in my town:

I edited it to add the video! Sorry about that! I posted it on my phone, and thought it worked, but it didn’t.
Ah! You’re right, sorry! I posted it on mobile and thought it worked, but I was wrong. Thanks again!
Thank you! That looks like a great system
Typically, with hydroponics or aquaponics, you won’t have a problem. For example, fungus gnats(a common attacker of house plants) are born in soil and feed on decaying plant matter. So, if you remove the soil, you can’t have fungus gnats.
Haha could I have more info on NFTs? When I try searching it up, I only get the non-fudgable token kind of NFTS 😆
Just guessing, though, think of this as a low-income starter kit. Assuming you can scavenge the bottles and substrate, this whole set up might cost around $40CAD (though keep in mind that’s a rough estimate from someone with dyscalculia hahaha)
Thanks for the info! I will try to research those
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting! I had not thought about that being a possibility. If it wasn’t so expensive, it would be so nice to have glass that could slide open in the summer, but close for the winter and bad weather.
(I don’t know if it helps, but even though Atrium was another word for courtyard, people here typically use it to mean a courtyard covered in glass)
Well for apartment buildings and empty balcony rules, yes, its the landlords.
For the outdoor laundry, its bylaws. Basically what happens is nosy neighbors report you, then a bylaw officer comes by and tells you someone made a complaint. It’s called a “Nuisance and unsightly premises bylaw.”
