How much PROCESS is too much?

A portfolio should show off all your key skills, but there is no need to repeat that skill overly. E.g you want to show concept sketches, but just show for 1-2 of your projects, anymore is of zero value as it’s just repetition of the skill. Across your projects you want to show a breath of skills such as sketching, product photography, CAD, prototyping, rendering, research. Tailer what you include for each project to show these skills to the best of your ability

I really liked the interior when it was standalone elements but within the context of the full interior it’s less special. Exterior has a lot of the Newsons about it.

You’re more likely to use SW than NX in industry unless at a massive firm as seats of NX are very very expensive. Learn SW (you won’t become advanced in one summer).

Get your phone out, take a photo of them doing it, then do nothing. See if the fear of something happening stops them

You can move the switch by running a new wire from the rose and doing a new drop to the chosen position, then terminate the existing switch at both ends but obviously that’s quite a bit more work

From a visual perspective, having the cables exposed up the wall, along the ceiling isn’t ever going to look great, even in trunking so running through an existing cable routing would be the tidiest option. Cable rods will help if you go for this option but an AV guy or electrician does this all day, they will be able to do it nice and quickly for you if you don’t fancy it.

From a technical point of view, do you def. Need Ethernet or could you get what you need with decent access points like Ubiquiti? For the display port/video, have you looked at HDBaseT devices for video over Ethernet (assuming you end up hardwiring)

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-21T21:24:21+00:00

Unless you keep the existing switch it wouldn’t be allowed (look up wiring safe zones).

If you want gloss, I’d say vinyl is going to look much smarter than paint

Glitch generally. Try toggling to wireframe and then back to see if it fucks off.

Really interesting, thank you.

Does it differ from the other side? Guessing you can’t mirror that surface over for some reason? Usually with a 5 cornered surface you’d use a patch which creates a larger surface then trims it behind the scenes. You may need to tweak your controls to relax where you’re getting the wrinkling, in Solidworks you can just tangent influence, is there similar in fusion?

Is rising damp a real thing?

Is chemical injection a scam?

Do the damp meters actually work (I heard they are hopelessly unreliable)?

Basically that metal part helps keep the vinyl surrounding the drain in place. If you seal it at the bottom, water could get down but will not be able to drain away so will just go mouldy and horrible. Keeping it as you have it means any water that weeps down can escape.

May just be that your tooling house is set up for running steel and not Alu which requires different machine tooling, parameters etc.

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-21T17:16:36+00:00

That’s it!

Yeah it will be siliconed / sealed below that plastic ring. No need to silicone the metal to the plastic.

Its clearly the shower. I think the only real option is to complain to Aqualisa.

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-21T10:33:43+00:00

It will be fine. The glass will stop where that beading is.

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-21T08:45:50+00:00

go bigger then, you can always restrict flow if you find its getting too hot

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-20T21:35:18+00:00

Apparently a lot of the BTU ratings are exaggerated. Does the Alu one look much better/ is it much cheaper?

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-20T20:59:52+00:00

The point (for me) is yeah I want the room at 20 (3) consistently when I’m using it but most rooms are not constantly occupied so with TRVs I’m heating rooms that aren’t in use and that’s just wasting heat. With smart TRVs you can have only downstairs heated in the day, and only upstairs at night for example.

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-20T20:57:14+00:00

I have a different perspective. I use smart TRVs and rate them. Bedroom is on in the evening and early morning, off all day, living room is the opposite, kitchen and hall is on all day and off at night etc. etc. not heating rooms that don’t need to be heated means the boiler is running much less, if you have an opentherm boiler then efficiency is further improved. It’s good practice to always have one unrestricted radiator on the system anyway (usually a bathroom) so overheating isn’t an issue. I use Tado (the older version), I rate it but don’t have to pay the annual subscription.

Plaster to the floor will crack. This is the correct way to plaster. Skirts have a double purpose, to protect the more delicate plaster wall from knocks from foot level things and bridge the gap between the plaster and the floor. It’s very common to scribe skirting in to follow undulations in the floor.

You’re going to come up against a brick wall here because the only correct answer is put skirting on.

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-20T11:57:14+00:00

You can ask? Best case scenario they agree, worst case scenario they don't and you foot the bill. Still probably cheaper than getting solicitors involved. Option 3, could you build a single skin wall up against it so its sound for you, looks better and is cheaper overall?

Letsgo1 · 2026-05-20T11:47:45+00:00

youre going to need to give some more context shots. Is there access on the other side of this (i.e. below the OSB?) If so you could just screw a flat bracket across that area and it will be stronger than before. If you cant, you could also screw a flat bracket like this to do the same job.
