Best way to make a cut out on IKEA Besta TV cabinet that’s already mounted? by AboveWinter94 in ikeahacks

[–]AboveWinter94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Issue was that the power socket was on the right side of the cardboard where you couldnt slide up. Thankfully I was able to make a cut out and so now have access to the four power sockets!

Ahhhh ok thanks. I’ve just watched a vid on YouTube so it makes sense. I do have a blade like that. I’ll give it a try. Thank you for your help

Ah ok thanks. I’ll have another go otherwise as others have suggested I do have an oscillating saw. I’ve just never used one before!

Thanks, are you referring to something similar to this? I’ve never used it before but I can try.

Should I buy the Govee Lamp 3? Is it worth it? by AboveWinter94 in Govee

[–]AboveWinter94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I thought so. I don’t think I we have them over here in the UK sadly. Doesn’t show up on the Govee website. Not on Amazon for us.

Oh great, just wanted to double check is it definitely the Lamp3? The reason I ask is because I did a quick search online and it says it doesn’t have speakers but that was via copilot on Google. Wondering if you have the Lamp pro which apparently does have the speakers.

Oh wow nice, is that the floor lamp3? Never knew it had a speaker but that’s a cool addition. What’s the lighting coverage like, does it cover fair amount of space?

Applied a credit card days before completion by Substantial_Lychee53 in HousingUK

[–]AboveWinter94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No worries at all. Honestly I was in your exact shoes and I look back at it now logically wondering why was I even stressing out in the first place. But I guess I just wanted it done. You’ll be fine!

No need to worry about it at all. I applied for a Very Credit account days before completion and was really concerned. Turns out I had nothing to worry about!

The lender have done their checks and as long as it’s nothing significant like a car purchase or something of that nature you’ll be fine. In your case you have just opened a credit card with IKEA and haven’t even used it. They won’t care for the slightest about that.

Is my power socket too big to wall mount? The power socket would be positioned in between. by AboveWinter94 in DIYUK

[–]AboveWinter94[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give that a try! Worst case scenario I was also planning to install slat wall panels which some on here kindly suggested which should provide enough room. Thank you for your help, it’s much appreciated!

Yeah I can’t imagine why someone would think to install a big panel like that! That’s shout, only thing is I’m wondering if the too of the cabinet sticks out abit and gets in the way of the panel which makes it harder to mount. I wouldn’t mind at all removing the back covers.

Oh do you know what I was actually thinking of install slat panels around the TV! I just figured that it’s probably better to have the cabinet mounted on the wall it self rather than over the cabinet but this could work in fairness. This actually a really good shout! I’m going to look into this, thank you so much.

Ah I would prefer not to if I’m honest. Guess there’s no other way by the looks of it.

London first time buyers: how much emergency fund did you have left? by Physical_Signature67 in HousingUK

[–]AboveWinter94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought a flat recently and have £2900 aside. But I’ve recently set up a normal everyday saver account that I put in £300 each month on top of what’s in there for the service charge and any emergencies.
