    The ghost in my house was getting mad for some reason and shutting off my lights for too long. I went poking around in the wires and couldn’t find anything so I “accidentally” shorted a main. Apparently a 15kw copper flashbang was enough to scare it away. Lights stopped flickering and turning off and I didn’t change anything.















  • Polyurethane, a pretty common plastic, which is usually in a volatile solvent but can also be water based. Its very cheap and easy to apply. It adds new material to the surface every time and is often pretty thick. Oil soaks into wood and doesn’t protect the surface from mechanical damage. Its also expensive and difficult to apply. The low spots are where the decades of plastic have chipped away revealing the original wood. If you got a sample from the high spots you could count the layers like rings in the wood and figure out when the put the bench in.
