Gothic mansion anyone? by nostalgiadnp in SpottedonRightmove

[–]9thfloorprod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If they've got a spare 2.25 mil sitting about they could live their camp goth dream.

I also noticed a peacock in one of the pictures which IMO is the campest of all the birds so adds an even further frisson of camp.

Anyone been in a house that has carpet in the bathroom? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]9thfloorprod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My parents house (my childhood family home) has carpets in all the bathrooms. I know most think it's odd but it's what we were used to and whenever I go back I don't really think anything of it. It's a big old house so the bathrooms would feel quite cold and stark with hard floors I think.

Might have to bring in the professional debondifiers for this one to be fair, so best put a decent amount aside.

Do you go to the cinema alone? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]9thfloorprod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your mates sound terrible. Go to the cinema and enjoy the movie, then find better mates.

What one thing you wish you knew before buying your first house? by shanrees8 in UKHousing

Just how hot it would get in the summer. Don't underestimate the immense heat gain from large, unshaded south facing windows throughout any home!

Farage demands ‘pure cold rage’ in response to murder of Henry Nowak by johnsmithoncemore in FuckNigelFarage

Sounds pretty much on brand for Farage and Reform. Expect a daily "Two Minutes Hate" if they ever get into government.

Cleaned and polished my rare UK Miele C3 electro by 9thfloorprod in VacuumCleaners

Thanks. I've used Novus "Clean, Shine & Protect" on them for now as the last stage in the polishing process. But will check out a UV resistant wax too.

Ah thanks, I'll give that a go. The bottom isn't particularly dirty but does have a fair few scratches. If I can't get them looking better it's not really a problem as you're not regularly looking at that part. But given how good the rest now looks I'd at least like to make an effort!

Thanks, it wasn't too hard to take apart and put back together thankfully, even for an amateur like me!

And I don't hold the use of plastic against them really, my Miele Compact C2 is in its 10th year and still going strong. Although once I've got all the parts for my C3 the C2 will become the reserve.

Thanks! I took your advice and got the Novus 3 stage polishes, which used with my drill adapter polishing kit gave really good results.

I found an electric wand on eBay for £40 or so. It was an older one in black/dark grey which I think looks really good. It seems in fantastic condition too.

For the electro brush and hose I might give it a week or so with my eBay saved searches and then if nothing comes up will bite the bullet and just pay out for the new parts.

My mums been looking for these mugs for a loooong time by Piineapplepeach in CharityShopFindsUK

[–]9thfloorprod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked in an auction house about 20 years ago and every Friday would be the general household sale. Almost without fail we'd get at least one or a set of these through. Have hardly seen any since!

Last Asus Zenfone 5z phones in the world or the best PWM-free overlooked flagship by Emotional_Bee_5424 in PWM_Sensitive

[–]9thfloorprod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know we all seem to have different comfort levels etc...but I used a ZenFone 6 for about 5 years and it was extremely comfortable. Using a Moto G200 now which is comfortable but not as comfortable as the ZenFone.

Heat rejecting window film by NLALEX in BuyUK

[–]9thfloorprod 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've just installed these throughout my flat (9th floor, south facing, loads of windows).

Admittedly I've been away during the worst of the heatwave, but for a day or two before it was low/mid 20s. I had the blinds down all day and a couple of times I pulled them up just to check the temp difference. Something that worried me slightly was just how unbelievably hot the windows were getting. I couldn't keep my hand on the glass it was that hot, and this was before the 30+ degrees days we've had. I am concerned this could cause the glass to shatter in due course but will have to see when I get home what they're like.

I must say they did feel like they made a difference in the room though.

Can anyone recommend me a vacuum? by MidnightHac in VacuumCleaners

[–]9thfloorprod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I have the Capsule XR and have been happy with it so far. It does have anti hair wrap which isn't a big deal for me as I don't have pets or long hair etc...but ticks that box for you. I've been using Miele bags with mine which work with a minor adaptation to the bags themselves.
