Hi, for many years my basement has had major water problems during rainy seasons making the whole space unusable for anything but storage (on raised pallets), so I finally decided to repair/replace/install new perimeter drain, but unlike the foundations I have experience with from working in construction it seems my house is so old that when it was poured they only made fourms on the inside leaving the exterior to take the rough shape of the hole that was dug, my question is how can I property waterproof the uneven surface of this foundation? In construction we used dimpled membrane on the foundation walls down to the footer where we laid the perimeter drain but I'm not sure if that way will work with how uneven it is. Anyone encountered this kind of old foundation before? It's only about 3ft deep but I'd like to do it properly if possible.

I've used evaporust for many projects over the years without issue and recently got a nickel plated Belgian gun with a few small spots of rust, so after looking up any potential problems with using it on nickle plating From multiple sources and the horses mouth itself, and finding no examples of any issues decided to put the pieces in overnight so I can then polish and re-plate the rusted spots, now it's looking like I will have to polish and re-plate the whole thing, it seems weird that I couldn't find any other examples of this anywhere since it says specifically that this is the kind of thing evaporust claims to be for and it's not exactly a new untested product, anyone else encounter something like this? Did the algorithm just only show positive experience and bury bad ones?

When i found out that rats were pulling chicks from under the hens in the coop, I had a decision to make, buy a modern 22 with rail already mounted, OR buy a tiny $60 drill press at the same time as the cheapest night scope on Alibaba and deck out the old cooey we found in the well shed 20 years ago, as luck has it the rail base stormwerkz makes for the savage rascal fits the contour perfectly, haven't mounted a rail before but I'm satisfied with the outcome for a rushed job,

Tried the striping method in this backyard ballistics video but the part turned copper instead, tried reversing the current Incase that was the issue to same effect, not a huge issue but interested if anyone knows what happened?
