I think most of us should take the whole ai scraping situation as a sign that we should maybe stop giving google/facebook/big corps all our data and look into alternatives that actually value your privacy.
i know this is easier said than done because everybody under the sun seems to use these services, but I promise you it’s not impossible. In fact, I made a list of a few alternatives to popular apps and services, alternatives that are privacy first, open source and don’t sell your data.
right off the bat I suggest you stop using gmail. it’s trash and not secure at all. google can read your emails. in fact, google has acces to all the data on your account and while what they do with it is already shady, I don’t even want to know what the whole ai situation is going to bring. a good alternative to a few google services is skiff. they provide a secure, e3ee mail service along with a workspace that can easily import google documents, a calendar and 10 gb free storage. i’ve been using it for a while and it’s great.
a good alternative to google drive is either koofr or filen. I use filen because everything you upload on there is end to end encrypted with zero knowledge. they offer 10 gb of free storage and really affordable lifetime plans.
google docs? i don’t know her. instead, try cryptpad. I don’t have the spoons to list all the great features of this service, you just have to believe me. nothing you write there will be used to train ai and you can share it just as easily. if skiff is too limited for you and you also need stuff like sheets or forms, cryptpad is here for you. the only downside i could think of is that they don’t have a mobile app, but the site works great in a browser too.
since there is no real alternative to youtube I recommend watching your little slime videos through a streaming frontend like freetube or new pipe. besides the fact that they remove ads, they also stop google from tracking what you watch. there is a bit of functionality loss with these services, but if you just want to watch videos privately they’re great.
if you’re looking for an alternative to google photos that is secure and end to end encrypted you might want to look into stingle, although in my experience filen’s photos tab works pretty well too.
oh, also, for the love of god, stop using whatsapp, facebook messenger or instagram for messaging. just stop. signal and telegram are literally here and they’re free. spread the word, educate your friends, ask them if they really want anyone to snoop around their private conversations.
regarding browser, you know the drill. throw google chrome/edge in the trash (they really basically spyware disguised as browsers) and download either librewolf or brave. mozilla can be a great secure option too, with a bit of tinkering.
if you wanna get a vpn (and I recommend you do) be wary that some of them are scammy. do your research, read their terms and conditions, familiarise yourself with their model. if you don’t wanna do that and are willing to trust my word, go with mullvad. they don’t keep any logs. it’s 5 euros a month with no different pricing plans or other bullshit.
lastly, whatever alternative you decide on, what matters most is that you don’t keep all your data in one place. don’t trust a service to take care of your emails, documents, photos and messages. store all these things in different, trustworthy (preferably open source) places. there is absolutely no reason google has to know everything about you.
do your own research as well, don’t just trust the first vpn service your favourite youtube gets sponsored by. don’t trust random tech blogs to tell you what the best cloud storage service is — they get good money for advertising one or the other. compare shit on your own or ask a tech savvy friend to help you. you’ve got this.

Caitlyn's Futa Obsession
Chapter 1: Ahri
(Master list will be added upon next update)
Tumblr media
Tags: Futanari x fem, Semi public sex, big cock, submissive Caitlyn, Soft Dom Ahri
Featured Characters: FUTA!Ahri, Caitlyn
Word Count: 3,625
Half a decade had led up to that faithful day. Her first day of active duty as a real police officer. Five years of working her butt off, day in and day out, and where had they placed her? Guard duty at Central Station. What an honour!
As if in a dream, Caitlyn marvelled at an airship as it coasted overhead. As long as the tallest buildings in Piltover were high, sporting eight egg-shaped balloons the size of clouds, it cast the entire station in shadow. What sort of wonders were contained within? Magical artifacts? Brave adventurers? Wise scholars? Maybe even Vastayans. Oh, what a treat that would be!
No. No, she needed to focus. She was an officer now. The people relied on her for their safety. What sorts of dangers could the airship hold? Smugglers? Fleeing felons? Weapons? Illicit substances?
“Eyes on the crowd, rookie!” Samuel snapped.
Samuel, her senior officer towered a head and a half over her. A plump, balding man who’d seen more years of active duty than Cailtyn had been alive for, to hear him say it; a true veteran. His sharp eyes scanned the crowd even as he reprimanded her.
“Yes- Yes, sir!”
Argh, what was she doing?! How many times had they drilled it into her?! Always stay alert, danger is everywhere. Caitlyn tore her eyes from the airship at once and watched the stream of bodies flooding through the final terminal gates. Right away she noticed most were locals returning to the country. Only Piltover residents dressed in such wild and lavish outfits.
A troupe of ladies wearing dresses with collars that reached high above their heads paraded past her. Rubies the size of coins speckled the towering collars, sparkling warmly in the sunlight. After them, a tall man with grey streaks in a well-kempt beard smiled and tipped his top hat at her. Gears and thin copper pipes adorned the hat. They worked together to make wire yordles dance on the brim. Before Caitlyn had even processed the spectacle, a little old lady passed beneath her nose, dressed in a gown with sleeves that trailed along the ground behind her. High fashion never made much sense but it always made for good entertainment.
“How many times must I say it, rookie? Focus!”
“Sorry, yes, you’re right sir.”
“I know I’m bloody right, you don’t have to tell me.”
“Sorry, sir.”
Caitlyn rubbed her temples, willing her stupid brain to focus. She couldn’t keep getting distracted. As a terminal guard, she held the responsibility to catch those who managed to fool the initial screening upon arrival. The last line of defense against evil trying to sneak into Piltover. Straightening her back, Caitlyn scanned the crowd for troublemakers.
She watched the bags carried by the crowd for suspicious bulges. She watched their eyes for any nervous shifting. She watched the people they met up with for signs of Zaun gang membership. But found nothing. Hundreds upon hundreds of people passed her by, all looking perfectly innocent. Good. Good, that meant Piltover was safe yet, as the hours passed, Caitlyn found it harder and harder to keep her eyes from the airships.
Just as she was about to sneak a look, something unbelievable passed in front of her. A woman with nine, white fox tails that sprouted from a hole in the back of her skirt. Two pointed ears with black fur, like that of a cat, twitched on top of her head. Gorgeous, flowing black hair streamed past her shoulders. A Vastayan. There was no doubt about it. Caitlyn tried to look away. She really did, but her stupid gay brain forced her to keep staring at the spectacle.
She could’ve melted right into the concrete.
A gap between the end of the vastayan’s skirt and knee-high socks, exposed two bulging, smooth thighs. The white of the skirt outlined a wide, round ass. A form-fitting, shoulderless blouse hugged a slim waist and perky breasts.
The Vastayan looked over her shoulder as if feeling her stare. A set of golden eyes stared back at her. Caitlyn’s insides melted.
Samuel huffed. “Vastayan pest. Up to no good, no doubt. Bring in her for inspection, rookie. Let’s see how you do against Vastayan trickery.”
“H-Her, sir?” Caitlyn pointed to the nine-tailed woman.
“No, the other one with nine tails. Yes her! Go! Now!”
“Ah, yes sir!” Caitlyn squeaked.
She hurried off, almost tripping as she half-ran from Samuel. Her haste vanished all in one go as she neared the Vastayan. The midday sun painted golden streaks in her raven hair, matching her eyes. A smirk spread across her lips, lifting the whisker-like streaks painted on her cheeks.
“Have I done something wrong, officer?” Even her voice was beautiful, all high and sweet.
“No, uh… No citizen, you are not in any trouble. You have been selected for a random search. If you follow me, I will escort you to a private inspection room.”
A little frown dropped her features. “Well, officer, I am in a bit of a rush. I’m running late for lunch with some very dear friends of mine.”
“I apologise, Ma’am but I must insist you come with me. This shouldn’t take long and I assure you I’ll do my very best to have you on your way as fast as I can.”
The Vastayan looked Caitlyn up and down. Her golden eyes pierced right through her. “You’re very polite aren’t you?” The smirk returned to her face.
Caitlyn’s voice caught in her throat. “Uh, yes- I mean no, I mean- “
The vastayan giggled. “Shall we proceed then?” She joined Caitlyn’s side.
Caitlyn cleared her throat. “Yes. Yes, follow me.”
Samuel gave her an approving nod as she led the Vastayan through a door in the exterior of the station. She couldn’t even enjoy the praise. She had to touch this gorgeous, sexy woman! She’d do something stupid. She would. Beautiful women always made her act stupid. She’d mess up and get reported and fired on her very first day!
Caitlyn led the Vastayan down a hall to one of five doors along the hall. She opened the door to the inspection room, a bare place of sterile tiles. Only a plastic chair in the corner and a bench along the back wall occupied the space. The sharp string of cleaning chemicals stabbed her nose.
“In here, Ma’am.”
“Thank you, dear.” The vastayan smiled as she passed by her through the doorway.
Caitlyn swallowed a gulp and lingered outside the room. With all her might she prayed that everything would just go right for once. She drew a deep breath and entered the room.
“Okay, Ma’am, let me run you through the procedure.” She turned her back on her to close the door. “This is a non-invasive search but, I am required to touch you in order to-”
When Caitlyn turned back around, the Vastayan’s skirt lay crumpled around her ankles. Her hands reached for the waistband of her panties.
“Ma’am no! This isn’t that kind of search!”
The Vastayan stopped. “Oh? My apologies, dear.”
She’d apologised but she didn’t sound the least bit embarrassed. Caitlyn noticed something peculiar. Something bulged in the Vastayan’s panties. Something big enough to be an illicit item.
“Ma’am. What’s that in your underwear?”
The Vastayan arched an eyebrow. “My penis.”
“Oh! I-I’m so sorry, Ma’am! I thought… it’s just it looked… oh, I’m sorry. Please, I didn’t mean any offence!”
“You thought… what? What did you think it was?”
“Well, you see… the, uh, the bulge- the bulge is big enough to look like drugs or a weapon or something. But it’s not! I can see that. Please, put your skirt back on. This isn’t a strip search. I’m so sorry for any confusion.”
“What if it is?”
“Wh… what?”
“What if it is drugs or a weapon? What if I’m lying?”
“Well… I’d have to detain you, Ma’am. But I can see that it isn’t. Please-”
“How do you know?”
“I just do. By looking.”
“You can see through clothes? No wonder they wanted you for this position.”
“That’s not what I-”
“I think the only way to know for sure is to take a look, dear.”
“No, really. I know. I can see it, uh… growing.” It looked as if she’d stuffed a cucumber in her panties.
The Vastayan chuckled. She stepped out of her crumpled skirt and approached with light, gliding steps. Her tails swished and snapped like vipers. “Well, there is another reason to look. I assure you.” The Vastayan stood so close her breath brushed against Caitlyn’s lips.
“What…?” Caitlyn backed up against the door.
The Vastayan pursued. Her golden stare filled Caitlyn’s vision. “Because you want to.”
Fire blazed on Caitlyn’s cheeks. The Vastayan stroked one soft, slender finger along the curve of Caitlyn’s cheekbone. A tingle shot down her spine.
“I assure you, I don’t,” Caitlyn said in a voice so small she could barely hear it.
“There’s no point in lying about it, dear. Your spirit speaks the truth for you, loud and clear. Lust is ever so sweet and, well dear, your spirit may as well be candy.” Her finger wandered past Caitlyn’s jaw and onto her neck.
White and blue light flashed in the Vastayan’s golden eyes the way clouds flash when lighting strikes. They saw right through her. Was this Vastayan magic? It must be.
“Even so. I’m… I’m on duty! I can’t just… do that stuff with you.”
The Vastayan giggled and rested her forehead against hers. “So adorable. You’re a precious thing, aren’t you dear? Come now, no one will notice. Especially not the ignorant fool posted outside. Do you think he’ll care if you take a few extra minutes to search me? A few dozen even. No, he’ll praise you for your thoroughness in dealing with the Vastayan pest.”
“You heard that?”
“I hear many things, dear and see more.” Her finger gilded onto her collarbone. “Now, be a good girl, get on your knees and start your inspection.”
She shouldn’t. “Yes, Ma’am.” It’s improper. The tiles chilled her knees. It’s unprofessional. The Vastayan’s panties slipped off easy as that.
Her cock erupted from its confinement, missing her cheek by less than an inch. Thick veins bulged and throbbed along the shaft. The ballsack had tightened in the cold of the room but, even so, fitted comfortably in the palm of Caitlyn’s hand. When she took hold of the immense shaft, her finger failed to reunite, no matter how tight she held it.
The Vastayan took a small step back so that the cock hung in front of her face, rather than beside it. She stroked Caitlyn’s hair and slipped the tie from her ponytail, spilling her dark-blue hair down her back.
“Much better,” the Vastayan said. “Before you begin, dear tell me your name. When things are impersonal, they’re so awfully dull.”
“Caitlyn, Ma’am.”
“Oh, I love it. So pretty.” She cupped Caitlyn’s cheek. “Mine is Ahri but, keep calling me Ma’am it’s so much more fun.”
Caitlyn smiled. “Yes, Ma’am. Shall I begin?”
“Soon, dear. First, how is your gag reflex?”
“My… my gag reflex.”
“Yes, dear.”
“Normal, I guess.”
“Hmm, well let’s see if we can’t change that. You’re going to gag, I’m afraid. You’ll feel like you’re choking but I assure you, you won’t. Just relax, breathe through your nose and look into my eyes. Can you do that?”
“I can!” Caitlyn said far too eagerly.
Ahri laughed. Her cock twitched. “Good girl. Now open wide, gum those teeth, yes that’s it. Very good.” She placed her hand on the door and put all her weight on it as she guided her cock into Caitlyn’s mouth.
It pressed her tongue down flat and pushed against the roof of her mouth. Warm sweet and salty filled her mouth. The tip slid past her tonsils and, just as Ahri had said, she gagged. Tears brimmed in her eyes, unbidden. Spit spluttered onto her chin. Yet, the discomfort soothed her. Which made absolutely no sense.
“Relax, dear… Look into my eyes”
Caitlyn did just that. Staring into Ahri’s twin pools of gold, she remembered a mantra from the academy. Discomfort is only sensation and sensation can’t hurt you. She drew a deep breath through her nose and let her muscles turn to jelly. Ahri’s cock slid deeper and deeper down her throat until her balls pressed against her chin. Ahri shuddered and snatched a handful of her hair.
“So talented~ Keep it up, dear.” Ahri smiled as she bit her lip.
Caitlyn would have smiled too if her lips weren’t stretched to their limits. Instead, she let her eyes speak for her, staring deep into Ahri’s. A mischievous glint flared in Ahri’s golden pools as she drew her hips back.
She thrust her cock back down Caitlyn’s throat. Caitlyn gagged at once. Spit spluttered. She moaned and spit spluttered again, slicking her chin and Ahri’s balls. Wet warmth explored the patch of her chest left bare by her officer’s dress.
Ahri’s hips moved back and forth in a slow, steady rhythm, fucking Caitlyn’s head into the door. For all her relaxing, Ahri’s girth forced gag after gag after gag, and splutter after splutter after splutter. The wet warmth discovered her breasts, soaking her brand new uniform.
Comforting discomfort. The steady rocking of Ahri’s thrusts. The sweet and salt of her cock. Heaven of Earth.
“Pleasure yourself, dear,” Ahri panted. “Don’t nod, just keep looking at me. Oh keep looking at me Caitlyn~”
Caitlyn stared into Ahri’s eyes as started a frantic search for her pussy. Floundering, her hand dove between her legs, slipped under her officer's dress and circled her clit through her panties. Gentle little bolts of pleasure danced in her groin. Each bolt flared in time with each thrust of Ahri’s cock.
Ahri’s moaned soft, delicate moans. Adorable, little gasps accented each draw of her cock. Her nine tails swished rhythmically behind her, slow and steady. Her ears drooped, laying flat on her head. Suddenly, her moans became loud. Her tails puffed and stood on end. Her ears stiffened. She cried out, whipped her cock out of Caitlyn’s mouth and staggered back. Her cock twitched and throbbed and bulged as her face scrunched up.
“Fuck, dear! You almost made me cum. Oh, I apologise, I usually have much better control.”
“It’s okay, Ma’am.” Caitlyn continued pleasuring herself and staring into Ahri’s eyes. “You can cum if you want.”
Ahri face softened and she cupped Caitlyn’s cheek. “So sweet of you to offer but, no. It’s improper to cum before your bottom. Now, how about we get you out of those dirty clothes and get me inside you?”
For a moment, Caitlyn forgot to breathe. She felt herself nod, take Ahri’s hand and stand. As if floating, she allowed Ahri to guide her over to the chair in the corner of the room by the hand. Once they were standing before it, Ahri unlaced her officer’s dress at the back and let it fall to the ground. In a flash, she unhooked her bra and let that fall to the ground too, leaving Caitlyn in nothing but her thigh-high officer’s boots and her sodden panties.
“Your uniform doesn’t exaggerate. You’ve got quite a full chest, dear.” Ahri cupped her left breast and pinched her right nipple.
Caitlyn gasped. “Th-thank you, Ma’am.”
Tossing any courtesy out the window, Caitlyn stared at Ahri’s chest. Ahri giggled and removed her shoulderless, form-fitting red blouse. She wore no bra underneath. Two perky breasts bounced out. Two pink nipples stood erect. Forgetting herself, Caitlyn grasped them, kneading the pillowy flesh and thumbing the hardened nipples.
“Oh, quite bold. Good girl.” She slipped Caitlyn’s panties past her hips and glided her palms over the curves. “Keep the boots on dear. They’re electrifying.”
“Yes, Ma’am,” Caitlyn said staring into her breasts.
Ahri eased Caityn’s hands away from her breasts before making her way to the chair. She sat down and held her cock by the base, waiting with a significant look.
“Coming, Ma’am.” With a spring in her step, Cailtlyn approached and straddled Ahri. Her knees sunk into the soft embrace of Ahri’s thighs.
Ahri seized her hips and held her above her cock. Staring down into Ahri’s eyes from on top, Caitlyn decided to be a little bold. She grabbed both of Ahri’s breasts, leaned on them and kissed her. Ahri smiled against her lips, kissed her hard and licked her teeth.
“Ah! You’re such a delight!” Ahri laughed.
Caitlyn blushed, squeezed her breasts and kissed her again. Lips locked and hands full, Caitlyn lowered herself onto Ahri’s cock. The girth stretched her right to the limit. An electric shudder shivered up her spine and she fell into Ahri’s kiss. Ahri seized her ass, holding her still.
“Easy now, dear. I’m quite big and you’re- oh you’re awfully small.”
“Y-” Caitlyn moaned then swallowed. “Yes Ma’am.”
As slow as she could manage, Caitlyn sat on Ahri’s cock. Shivers and shudders turned her bones to pudding but, despite it all, she kept strong and never faltered until, suddenly, Ahri’s groin met her clit. Nothing had ever been so deep inside her. Not even her biggest toy. It must’ve been the very edge of her limit. As if Ahri and she had been made for each other.
Caitlyn rode Ahri slowly. Very very slowly. Pushing herself up until her thighs stood straight and then, sliding back down the entire length. Never once, did Ahri’s cock leave her pussy. Not even close. Ahri assisted the climb, lifting her ass with a firm grip. All the while they kissed, flicking each other’s teeth, sucking each other’s tongues. The pleasure was unreal. I rocked her whole body. She floated with each movement small and large.
But she could not float forever. All of a sudden, she came crashing down. Her joints locked. Her muscle turned to steel. A fountain of bliss spurted up her spine, all the way to her shoulder blades in long, crashing pulses. A steel grip seized every part of her body. She cried out. She shouldn’t have, not so loud but, she did.
“That’s it dear.” Ahri stroked her back. “Enjoy it. You’ve earned it.”
As the fountain died and euphoria’s steel grip loosened, Caitlyn melted into Ahri’s embrace.
Ahri arm’s swaddled her. Gentle heat radiated from Ahri’s pillowy breasts through Caitlyn’s, calming her tight chest and racing heart. Ahri’s heart did quite the opposite. It thundered against Caitlyn’s chest. Ahri took hold of Caitlyn’s face and buried her face into hers, locking their lips. She pulled away. A thread of spit connected their lips. Ahri’s jaw clenched.
“I want to fuck you. I want to give you everything I’ve got. Can you handle that, dear?”
“I can~”
“I can, Ma’am.”
“I can, Ma’am. Please fuck me.”
“Good, get up. Quickly now.”
Caitlyn slid off Ahri’s cock and scrambled to her feet. Her legs may as well have been noodles by Caitlyn refused to fall.
“On the bench.” Ahri panted as she spoke, her voice trembling. “On all fours, face down, ass up. Yes, that’s it, good girl. Thighs straight. Perfect, dear!” Stroking her cock, she mounted Caitlyn. One hand planted beside Caitlyn’s head, and the other took hold of her hip.
With no warning, Ahri plunged inside her. The pleasure that erupted through her with that one, single thrust dwarfed everything Ahri had even given her up until then. The second came quicker than the first and before Caitlyn recovered from either of them, the third came. A flurry of rapid thrusts fucked Caitlyn down into the bench. She moaned and moaned, curled her toes and kicked her feet. Ahri’s power threatened to topple her. Her legs threatened to betray her. But, she would not collapse. Ahri’s pleasure relied on it.
Ahri’s rhythm was all off, all janky and mismatched but, Caitlyn didn’t care. No orgasm in the world could compare to being used like that. Being someone’s plaything. She’d always been a good girl. A dutiful girl. She never broke the rules. Never stepped out of line. Always did what was expected of her.
What had she been thinking all these years?
“Cum inside me, Ma’am!”
“I will!” Ahri let out a long moan. “I am!”
Ahri buried both hands between Caitlyn’s shoulder blades and buried herself deep inside. Their cries mixed into one, unified moan. Hot cum filled her in a flash and then overflowed, spilling onto the bench. As cum cascased like a waterfall, Ahri and Caitlyn fought to catch their breaths.
Time had appeared to slow but, with each ragged gasp it regained its tempo. Ahri slid out of Caitlyn, her huge cock shrunken and limp. A gush of cum flowed from Caitlyn’s pussy and yet, she still felt full.
Lacking the energy to move, her cheek planted against the cold steel of the bench, Caitlyn could only look up at Ahri as she loomed over her. Her nine tails flicked and swished around her slim waist and wide hips. A sheen of sweat showed off the subtle definition of abs. Ahri gave her a great show as she turned and approached her clothes. Her wide, round ass swayed with each step. She fished a notebook and pen from a pocket inside her skirt of all places and jotted something down. She tore out the page and planted it beside Caitlyn’s head.
“Come to this address, tomorrow, midday. More of this, more than you can possibly imagine, awaits you.”
Ahri planted a kiss on Caitlyn’s cheek, dressed and left Caitlyn to soak in glee. She'd prayed for things to go right and right things had gone.
-----
Thanks for reading! Please drop a heart if you enjoyed. It's greatly appreciated and helps out a lot.
Next chapter, Caitlyn meets the cast and who should be there but Vi?

Building Success: Navigating the Aisles of Your Local Hardware Store
Walking into a hardware store can be overwhelming. The rows upon rows of tools, materials, and equipment can leave even the most seasoned DIY enthusiast feeling a bit lost. However, with a bit of guidance and know-how, navigating the aisles of your local hardware store can become a rewarding experience. In this article, we'll explore how to make the most out of your hardware store visits, from understanding the layout of the store to selecting the right tools and materials for your projects. Hardware stores are typically organized into sections based on the types of products they offer. Understanding the layout of your local hardware store can save you time and frustration when searching for specific items. Here are some common sections you'll find in most hardware stores:
1. Tools: This section usually includes hand tools, power tools, and tool accessories such as drill bits and saw blades. Look for aisles labeled with categories like "Hand Tools," "Power Tools," and "Tool Accessories."
2. Building Materials: Here, you'll find lumber, plywood, drywall, insulation, and other materials commonly used in construction and DIY projects. These items are often stacked or stored in bins along the walls or in the center of the store.
3. Hardware: This section contains various fasteners, hinges, hooks, and other small hardware items. Look for bins or drawers labeled with specific types of fasteners, such as screws, nails, bolts, and nuts.
4. Plumbing and Electrical: Here, you'll find plumbing fixtures, pipes, fittings, electrical wiring, outlets, switches, and light fixtures. These items are typically organized by type and size, making it easy to locate what you need.
5. Paint and Finishing Supplies: This section includes paint, brushes, rollers, sandpaper, stains, and other finishing supplies. Look for aisles or displays labeled with different types of paint (e.g., interior, exterior, spray paint) and finishing products.
6. Garden and Outdoor:This section features gardening tools, landscaping supplies, outdoor lighting, and other outdoor equipment. Look for aisles or displays labeled with categories like "Gardening Tools," "Outdoor Lighting," and "Landscaping Supplies.
Navigating the Aisles
Once you understand the layout of the store, navigating the aisles becomes much easier. Here are some tips for finding what you need:
1. Make a List: Before heading to the hardware store, make a list of the items you need for your project. Organize the list by section (e.g., tools, building materials, plumbing), making it easier to find everything once you're in the store.
2. Ask for Help: Don't hesitate to ask store staff for assistance if you're having trouble finding a specific item. They're there to help and can often point you in the right direction or offer product recommendations based on your needs.
3. Take Your Time: Hardware stores can be busy places, especially on weekends. Take your time browsing the aisles and comparing different products to ensure you're getting exactly what you need for your project.
4. Check for Sales and Discounts: Keep an eye out for sales, discounts, and clearance items as you shop. Hardware stores often have promotions on certain products, which can save you money on your purchase.
5. Inspect Before You Buy:Before heading to the checkout, inspect your items carefully to make sure they're the right size, color, and quality. If you're unsure about a particular product, ask a staff member for assistance

Selecting the Right Tools and Materials
Choosing the right tools and materials is crucial for the success of your project. Here are some factors to consider when selecting tools and materials:
1. Quality:Invest in high-quality tools and materials whenever possible. While they may be more expensive upfront, they'll often last longer and perform better than cheaper alternatives.
2. Compatibility:  Make sure the tools and materials you choose are compatible with your project requirements. For example, if you're working with wood, make sure you use the correct type and size of screws or nails for the job.
3. Safety:  Always prioritize safety when selecting tools and materials. Choose products that are designed for your specific task and follow all safety guidelines and precautions outlined by the manufacturer.
4. Budget:  Consider your budget when selecting tools and materials for your project. While it's tempting to splurge on the latest gadgets and accessories, try to stick to your budget to avoid overspending.
5. Environmental Impact: Consider the environmental impact of the tools and materials you choose. Opt for eco-friendly options whenever possible, such as low-VOC paints and sustainable building materials.

Electrical Safety for Plumbers: Navigating Potential Hazards on the Job
Whether installing a new plumbing system or repairing a burst pipe, plumbers resolve a variety of problems. When most people think about plumbers, they imagine people working around water. However, due to the nature of their work, plumbers often also work around electricity.
According to data from 2023, nearly 30,000 electrical workplace injuries happened annually. Severe electrical injuries can also result in death. Fortunately, you can help prevent injuries caused by exposure to electricity.
Here’s a closer look at common electrical hazards plumbers face and how they can avoid them.
Shutting Off Power to Your Working Area
As homes and businesses depend on running water, they also need electricity. Because of that, electrical wires and circuits run throughout most buildings. These properties also feature circuit breakers or something similar, allowing someone to control what rooms receive power.
Before beginning work in any room, make sure to find this building’s breaker and turn off power to where you’ll be working.
Watching Out for Standing Water
Plumbing problems often lead to water pooling up in homes or businesses. The result of this situation is standing water. Besides the potential flooding hazards, standing water creates an immediate hazard if you need to use any electrical devices. Resolve this situation by clearing standing water before further work begins.
Checking Your Cables and Cords
Plumbers use a variety of tools during a typical day. Many of these tools require cords connected to a nearby power source. Several examples of these tools include power drills, drain augers, and heat guns.
As you prepare for an upcoming plumbing job, ensure your tools and equipment have attached cords in optimal condition. You should also thoroughly inspect any extension cords you plan on using. Ensure you don’t see any exposed wires, which can send electricity throughout your body.
Keeping Everything Grounded
Grounding is a vital step to take when working around electricity. Properly grounding a plumbing system, wire, or other part of a working area minimizes your risk of receiving a severe shock. You’ll also protect yourself from shock by having a reliable electrical tester handy. An electrical tester lets you instantly check faulty outlets and wiring.
The importance of grounding also extends to your drain-cleaning machines. These types of equipment should feature a ground fault current interrupter, commonly abbreviated as a GFCI. Having a GFCI built into your machine’s electrical cord drastically reduces your risk of electrical-related injuries.
Wearing Personal Protective Equipment
Plumbers can come into direct contact with water, sewage, and dirt. Fortunately, personal protective equipment (PPE) can help minimize unwanted substances getting on a plumber’s skin or clothing. Fortunately, PPE can also keep plumbers protected from electrical-related injuries. 
Most types of PPE for electrical damage contain rubber. That’s because rubber doesn’t conduct electricity. Rubber boots help protect a plumber if they step on a live wire or water with electricity flowing through it. Gloves containing rubber help protect a plumber’s hands. Outfitting yourself with protective plumber, HVAC, and electrician clothes can also help you avoid scrapes and cuts while working.
Switching Off Power at Source Locations
Plumbers must often work outside of a customer’s home or business. These jobs typically involve digging into the ground to work on underground pipes. Unfortunately, these tasks can quickly become dangerous when you unknowingly work near active power lines.
You can avoid this nerve-wracking situation by contacting your local power company before your work begins. This call allows a utility professional to mark utility lines. Having this information helps you avoid accidentally digging or cutting into electrically charged cables and wires.
Knowing When to Walk Away
Electricity is often unpredictable. If you follow the previous steps and receive an unexpected jolt of electricity, it’s time to get away from this area. Having an electrician determine what’s going on and resolving the issues lets a plumber return to a safe working environment.
Plumbing jobs sometimes have plumbers working around electricity. Before starting any plumbing-related project, ensure you’re within a safe working area. Also, make certain that your tools and equipment are in proper working condition. These steps might take a little extra time, but following our precautions could prevent you from electrical-related injuries.

How to Renovate a Bathroom
Tumblr media
There is a lot to think about when renovating your bathroom. You’ll need to consider design, layout and materials like tiles and paint. You’ll also need to find the right tradies for your job.
There are many reputable bathroom renovation companies in Sydney. They can help you design and execute your dream bathroom. To know more about Bathroom Renovation Sydney, visit the Eastern Suburbs Bathroom Renovations website or call 0415902838. 
Bathroom renovations can be costly, especially if you have to pay for unexpected issues like asbestos discovery behind existing tiling or choked drains. It’s important to do your research and plan out your costs carefully before hiring a Sydney bathroom renovator.
A tradie will need to core drill your concrete floor to install new pipes and wastes, or dig out old plumbing and electrical, which can take one to four days. A licensed electrician will then come in to install wirings, switches and lighting. Their rate typically ranges from $50 to $100 per hour.
You’ll also need to budget for tiling and flooring, which will usually be quoted on a per square metre basis. Generally, you can expect to spend up to $60 per square metre for large format porcelain tiles.
The design of your bathroom renovation will determine the overall look and feel of the room. There are many design options to consider. One popular trend is tiles that continue from floor to ceiling for a clean modern look. Another is a coastal or resort style bathroom that incorporates soft timber, chrome tap ware and rainfall shower heads.
As a specialist in small bathroom renovations Sydney we often see clients introducing new timber benchtop materials that stand up to moisture. Other favourites include a skylight, double sink or spa like design elements.
Apartment bathroom renovations require special consideration to adhere to the building’s by-laws and work hours. Our team of qualified tradies will ensure you get the bathroom you want without the disruption. We also offer complete project management for larger renovations.
Renovating your bathroom requires a lot of plumbing work. It involves changing existing pipes and fixtures, adding new ones and relocating others. It can also involve moving waste and drainage lines. This work is best done by a licensed plumber.
You’ll also need an electrician to install lighting and other electrical features. Lighting is important for both functionality and aesthetics, and can be used to highlight your shower and other features of the room. Electricians are also licensed and can ensure your renovation is safe and up to code.
Working with a professional will make your renovation project easier and less stressful. A good renovator will be able to provide you with detailed quotes and timelines. They’ll also handle the coordination of the various tradies needed for the job.
When renovating your bathroom, you need to take into account the electrical layout as well. Choosing the right lighting has aesthetic benefits and can make your bathroom appear bigger while emphasising its style and features. Because bathrooms are prone to moisture, there are specific electrical safety zones you must consider in your floor plan and selection of appliances.
During renovation, there are many potential problems you might not be aware of. These include cracked pipes, structurally weak floors, asbestos discovered behind tiling, blocked drains and rotting timber. It is essential to address these issues before starting renovation work to avoid costly and stressful repair bills in the future.
Hiring licenced tradespeople is an excellent way to streamline the process and minimise disruption to your home. This way, you can be sure that the job is done properly and safely.
Waterproofing is one of the most overlooked aspects of renovating a bathroom. Yet, this is a crucial step to ensure that the structure of your home remains intact. Without waterproofing, your walls and floors can become soaked and damaged over time.
Plastering is the next stage and this helps prepare your bathroom for tiling and waterproofing. Depending on the size of your bathroom, plastering can take up to two days.
During this phase, you may also decide to change your layout. This can include moving plumbing, knocking down walls or rearranging existing walls. This can require a structural engineer to check the feasibility of your plans. This can increase your renovation costs. But it can also help you achieve the bathroom of your dreams. To know more about Bathroom Renovation Sydney, visit the Eastern Suburbs Bathroom Renovations website or call 0415902838.

Things You Should Know About Bamboo Smoking Pipe

The pipes are outfitted with carbon filters that make inhaling smoke from dried herbs easier without discomfort or irritation to the throat or lungs. Additionally, these filters help to cool and smoothen the smoke, allowing for larger hits compared to wooden pipes that lack filters. Bamboo pipes are commonly manufactured in Vietnam, China, and India. Additionally, some are produced in the United States. Bamboo smoking pipes are crafted by drilling holes and burning the inner material with fire to hollow them out. This makes the bamboo soft enough to carve into different shapes, such as a straight stem with a slight upward curve on both ends. This design allows for an easier grip when smoking. Some pipes may have only one end curved upward, making them equally easy to hold. nice texture Bamboo, with its captivating aesthetic appeal and intricate natural patterns, serves as an exceptional choice to elevate any design.

They don't have any noticeable aroma or flavor, which means you can enjoy your preferred blends without any unwanted alterations. This feature makes them especially ideal for those who enjoy flavored tobacco blends. Natural Antimicrobial Properties Bamboo is considered one of the strongest fibers known to man, which makes it perfect for making smoking pipes.

SafetyBecause bamboo is an organic material that grows on the ground, you don't need to worry about your bamboo smoking pipe containing any heavy metals or poisons. These pipes don't include any additional chemicals, so you don't need to be concerned about breathing in dangerous substances when you use them to smoke! In addition to tobacco smokers, people who prefer cannabis and other herbs also favor bamboo pipes.

This will remove any residue left over from the previous herb smoked and help keep the flavor of your next tobacco experience pure. There are several ways to clean your bamboo pipe: Remove any residual tobacco from the bowl of your pipe (use a brush or toothpick).
