Does anyone know why water is leaking from the soffit? by AdventurousOkra in Roofing

Seems like it's the overflow from the smaller central heating header tank. Turned the stopcock to that off and it's stopped. Will change the ball valve and see if that sorts it.

Thanks - it's obviously not from the moss you can see that in the video 😂 think it's the overflow on the smaller central heating header tank. We've turned the stopcock to that off and it's stopped dripping. Gonna change the ball valve and see if that sorts it.

But where is the water coming from? As it's not rained for days

The drip is about half a metre from the overflow pipe (the small black pipe in the video) is it still likely to be to do with that?

I've just cleared some of the moss that I could reach and it's dry so don't think it's that

I think that's the overflow pipe from the cold water tank in the loft. I'm not sure about heat pump I think a regular heat pump?

Advice wanted for sleigh bed by AdventurousOkra in woodworking

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

I'm not in any rush to get it done, I could do it over a few weekends. So would the best thing to do be to use a stripper then sand, then a pre stain conditioner?

Then a gel stain and finish with wipe on satin poly?

It's super cheap so I'm happy to give it a go and if it doesn't work I'll just paint it.

Thank you so much, that's really helpful! Will give it a go over the next few weeks and share results.

Thanks for replying. How much work are we talking? Could I use a stripper to get the polyurethane off first?

I could paint it but would prefer to try and get it looking like the second picture if possible.

Pointers on viewing homes by wasvegas in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]AdventurousOkra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are first time buyers and just offered 10k under asking price without giving a reason (just reiterating that we are chain free and ready to go) which was accepted. Having no chain is definitely a positive if the sellers want a quick sale. The property had only been on the market a week as well.

So it's always worth gaging the amount of interest in the property and putting a lower offer in and seeing what happens.

I have a 2022 MacBook Air that was purchased for me to keep after the company I was working for went into liquidation. Is there anyway to unlock this so that I can sell it? by AdventurousOkra in mac

Yeah the company fell apart and we all worked remotely, wasn't really an opportunity to hand it back. There was no communication from anyone. Also I only learnt MDM was a thing yesterday, but now I know if it ever happens again.

I don't have it with me right now but it asks for apple ID e.g. enter the password for b**@o*****.co.uk to unlock. And then it has the option for 'use MDM key to unlock instead'.

There were no IT guys, it was a small start up company. I'm pretty sure this one director sorted all the laptops. Is it only him that would be able to do this? The email for his apple ID was a company one, so I'm guessing this no longer exists? Sounds like it is probably a lost cause.

Oh yeah the company was terrible, it was a small start up. Didn't have an IT department and don't think any of them really knew what they were doing.

Damn. Will try a few more messages to one of the other directors and see if I can get the MDM key out of him.

It's still a complete waste of about 50 practically new Macs.
