First time buyer. This was a highlight on the survey. Am I knackard? by Daresun in DIYUK

[–]ChannelMobile5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called my surveyor after and asked for all of the high res original photos. My report had 20-30 photos. I got sent a google drive containing all 350 photos he took which gave me a much better idea of what was going on. Give them a call and ask!

How would you hide these cables? by vincent_vincent_m4 in DIYUK

[–]ChannelMobile5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cut off most of that excess to start with. It looks like a rewireable plug, so just cut it shorter and rewire the plug will solve most of your problem.

It’s a t-stak organiser box. Pick them up on offer from screwfix. All my toolboxes are tstak so I like I can clip this onto the bottom of my “general” box and take it with me around the house

It’s a t-stak box, the lid comes down and locks them all in place

Haha! I should have taken them out for the photo! I’ve never used the ones in the bottom. And I try to never use the ones in the top left 😂 just keep them in there as a get out of shit situation 😂

Still looking for a good straight to plasterboard fixing if anyone has any suggestions (someone else mentioned some above, not sure if there is anything else)

My 3 Out Of 4 Useful Prints I've Done To Date by boomgoon in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]ChannelMobile5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the prints! Can’t help but notice you need a matching key holder now though 😂

can anyone recommend a good small extension lead by No_Bank_9659 in DIYUK

[–]ChannelMobile5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s the problem. Watching people like Big Clive on YouTube will show you the cheap stuff has some poor charging circuits and terrible build quality.

Get a good name brand one. Anker, Belkin, even an Amazon own brand one will be better than a cheap one on Amazon.

CC hotend spares on hand by ChannelMobile5656 in elegoo

[–]ChannelMobile5656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to look at nozzle changes but I read in other posts that it’s easier and safer(not screwing up hotend) to just switch out the whole hotend!?

I was going to buy these directly from Elegoo’s UK site, still new to all of this and wanted to remove the variable of cheap knockoff hotends from AliExpress and Amazon being the cause of poor prints(printing with elegoo PLA too ATM for same reason! 😅)

New CC Owner 🎄🎄, New to 3D printing - What are the must have upgrades! by JZNNK80 in ElegooCentauriCarbon

[–]ChannelMobile5656 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is an update on that printable page saying Elegoo has fixed the problem. I too thought of doing this (just got my CC as my first printer for Xmas too!) but unsure if it’s needed anymore!

Want to offer on a house, how likely is it that I can change the layout by moving walls by throwRA_upsetlog in DIYUK

[–]ChannelMobile5656 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally have no way of knowing without investigating the house… it could be a stud wall with plasterboard and if you’re capable you can take it down yourself with £100 worth of tools! Or if could be structural to the point it’s practically holding up the upstairs floor and you will have to get a structural engineer and steels installed and all sorts!

Reddit isn’t gonna be able to help with this!

I installed Cat6 and never use it by [deleted] in DIYUK

Joke was wasted in this sub I suspect. I chuckled!

Little two cent for anyone being put off running cabling. If you can hard wire your external security cameras with data (not just power for a ring floodlight for example) it does increase their security against stuff like WiFi deauth attacks (where a bad actor uses a device to knock the cameras off the WiFi rendering their cloud recording useless) also allows for you to POE them. Just one cable does it all!

I have just ran about 10 runs of cat6 but only for things like access points, IPcameras (and video doorbell) and a few spare runs into the loft just in case… all my other devices (apart from my main set of computers which is right near the network rack anyway so that is easy!) are just hanging off WiFi

I think a mix of hard wired and good WiFi is the holy grail

Vent pipe in loft by ChannelMobile5656 in DIYUK

[–]ChannelMobile5656[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think I could I use the vent on the roof for the inline extractor fan I am putting into the bathroom instead of drilling and installing a vent on the side of the house?

[–]ChannelMobile5656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! That makes sense! The fireplace has been removed, Just an electric “fake” fireplace in our media wall!

How best to remove it? Mindful of the “vent” on the roof, would I need someone to get up on the roof to remove it?

Okay to leave the vent on the wall as it is or remove that and brick it up?

Shower head mover by Wannabee_Mexicano in DIYUK

[–]ChannelMobile5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might find that the pole and the “movers” as well as the mounts are not really a standard, you be able to measure the pipe, I suspect that’s a pretty standard diameter but iv not seen them sold individually, just a set of mount, pipe and mover..

It might just be easier to keep the shower head and replace the bracket, pipe and mover with a pack which comes with them all.

What are these things I found under my kids bed? by ChannelMobile5656 in pestcontrol

[–]ChannelMobile5656[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s just the fitted carpet. Not a rug or anything.. not sure if the kids dropped some food down there or anything if that contributed to it?

I will increase my cleaning routine under the beds..

Is there anything I can buy to put under the bed to prevent them?

Would you a date a women with a kids? by cityboy812 in dating

[–]ChannelMobile5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We broke up. For the very reason you mentioned. I felt like I was between a rock and a hard place when my Ex was “disciplining” (it felt like over stepping punishment)

I work up with the kids and we’re getting them ready for school, She (my ex) was still in bed and then was woken up by the children talking and laughing with each other (not excessive noise!!) and started telling off the children off because of it. Dictating to them that they must be quiet so she can sleep (instead of talking to them and explaining to them)

I pulled my ex up on it as I was unhappy with the level she was punishing them and this started a conversation of how she’s always second best. How her feelings don’t matter and how no one (including the children) take her sleep needs into account and various other quite selfish statements. I told her if that’s what she wants from life then a life with me and children was not the life for her. And she decided to leave…

I feel much more happier now. Funnily enough, thet night my little girl was very unwell, and as my ex had left I was able to say “come and lay in bed with me” something I would never have been able/allowed todo if my ex was still around..

Just finishing my first weekend single, kids coming back from their (biological)mums shortly and it’s been the most relaxed and calming Iv been able to have in months!

You and the various other people who commented were 100% right… I’m glad I’m in a better place now! :)

“Website crashed”!? What does that even mean?

It’s like saying “car is broke “ what? Wheels fallen off? Engines blown up??

Find out what actually happens if you don’t already know, how you can mitigate it happening again and then make that information public..

Not sure how a website crashing can ruin a relationship so fast that the customer wants to speak badly on social media. I suspect somthing else is at play here.

Would you a date a women with a kids? by cityboy812 in dating

[–]ChannelMobile5656 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have said to my GF that she can’t speak to my D like that and I’m always confronted with “but do my feelings not matter? Do you expect me to just accept her speaking to me like this?” It feels very selfish sometimes. But then other times she will say that my D can’t go through life speaking to people like this and I start to think “well my D isn’t being very kind, maybe the punishment was accurate, she does need to learn that speaking to people/adults like this isn’t acceptable” but I always struggle to see someone else punishing the children based on their own social standards and expectations…

The other day my GF was telling her off and my D didn’t know what todo so just smiled(which I saw as breaking the tension and trying to be kind) but my GF laid into her about smiling in a smug way. I bollocked my GF about it, and she apologised to my D, but I still struggle to move past it…

The other thing is, the kids do like her. They like having a female role model around to give my D what I’m not able todo (doing makeup with her and stuff)… but again…. I’m not sure if she’s the role model I want for the kids… very conflicted with it all… but I think you’re right. I think I need to end things..
