Sorry. Looks like formatting on my original post failed me.

Lovebox as in this https://en.lovebox.love/ And the oled screen version https://github.com/julisa99/Lovebox

I'd like to replicate the branded lovebox minus the app. It needs to be able to receive text and photos via data sent from my phone or PC. She'd receive feedback from the box (spinning symbol). I have Arduino boards and most of the parts I think I need to make this happen.

No, doesn’t have to be and no, it doesn’t have to be a rPI. Depends what you want to do :)

Yes. It's along the lines of that project. I'd like to replicate the lovebox. She uses a MacBook for home and has a work-issued ThinkPad. I was under the assumption that the "lovebox" was a standalone device... If it's not, would I have to use a pi? My budget is about $200. I'm planning on visiting a Microcenter today...

Edit: upon further reading, I'm realizing that github you posted is EXACTLY what I'd like to do. "it works don't touch it" would get the job done for this gift.

As a brit, s drywall compound just plaster (Quick google is less enlightening than I thought it would be)?

...and the comment on the video suggests it's a poltergeist lol.

That deals with cleaning the tiles, but you've got the same issue on the drywall. For the latter, I'd sponge it, then let it dry, carefully sand anything that remains, dry-sponge the dust off, and then re-tile once dry again.

Wtf is this abomination

You need it to not be completely flat so it can drain properly, and as others have said it's good for it to not be smooth so it is grippier when wet.

There was a hotel, knoxville, it think, where the plasterers used drywall mud when they bedded in their mesh coat, eifs system. I've seen pics of same from china

Soak the floor with water and use a thin flexible putty knife to gently work under the first couple. After that a stiff putty knife wil pop off the rest. Water dissolves compound so any remaining compound can be removed by soaking the compound and letting it soak in. A coarse brick sponge will be helpful.

Just soak in water and clean with a sponge. All clean in no time.

(Don't ask me how I know)

Next tip - don't grout it with grey when you meant to pick up the white bag.

If you have already used drywall compound instead of tile adhesive to install tiles, you may be in a difficult situation. The tiles are likely not properly secured to the surface, and there is a risk that they could come loose and fall off. Additionally, the drywall compound may not provide a strong, durable bond between the tiles and the surface, which could lead to problems with the tiles cracking or breaking.

Paper sticks to paper with water. Plasterboard has a paper face. Paper to paper sticks with hydrogen bonding. It is exactly how paper holds together - until it gets wet.

I'm just trying to figure out what the heck happened with all those boards. Is it supposed to be holding something up? Why is there a burnt section? Who did this?

You're not screwed because the floor is easy to fix but you might be screwed because you're a dumb ass

This.
You'll get it "smooth" and the first winter it's a bit icy and little ones slip on it you'll regret messing with it.
A lot of the "not smooth"-ness IS probably gnarly old moss/lichen build up that the power washer will do a decent number on.

That's what Casey Jones says
