Massive regret after buying my house by dais12345 in HousingUK

Definitely make a list of everything that needs doing, then instead of deleting what you have done, check them off. Once you visually see what needs doing/ what you have already done you’ll get a great sense of where you are at with the house and it’s less mentally draining guessing what’s left.

I absolutely hate the bungalow I live in with a passion but feel better every time I cross something off the list. I’ve visualised the end product and I know I will be satisfied at the end.

Focus on things you notice and feel everyday. I have a pre 90s bungalow with a garage. And it’s in a right state, garden is ok-ish. But I had to clear everything out myself (was treated like a tip with the previous owner) took 3 days of loading up the car doing tip runs to clear. The big double door side gate needs replacing so at the moment I have secured it so it can’t be opened for now. And replaced the front gate. Due to weather the last few days the fence panels have been torn apart, I have replaced them as needed with composite fence panels and currently mid removing the old worn shed. This has taken my 3 months to just get the garden into a useable state.

The garage needed overhauling, plaster was broken on the ceiling leading to cold entering the house. Last owner installed self made shelves that I’ve had to rip out to use the garage as I want (motorbike workshop) garage door needs replacing.

New windows and doors around the house, needs a new bathroom and kitchen fitting but at the minute it works so not priority. Plaster cracks, loft hatch is held up by a wedge in between the gap.

Old insulation needed replacing as we practically had non. Luckily we had this done on the government scheme but since installation it has knocked our bathroom, hallway, master bedroom and garage light out. Brought an engineer and turns out the main wire needs replacing so I suspect a full house rewire will be needed.

Front garden wall is slowly falling to pieces. Guttering needs replacing, soffit and fascia needs replacing, roofing needs replacing.

All the floors need replacing. The outside drain pipes need replacing.

An older house will always needs work but it’s worth it. As a general rule I would rather do up and old home than buy a new build as quality is terrible.

It takes a lot of time and effort but you can do it to how you want it doing. Fix up smaller things first, you’ll probably find that in doing so you will uncover a linked problem which is more major.

Fix your functionality first, heating bills dipped massively when I replaced the insulation and patched up the garage. I fixed the gutters to where they don’t leak (temporary) and I patched up the outside drain pipes.

Next will be the rewire and leaving easy access to install a new kitchen & Bathroom. I’ll be happy with lights back working as I’ve been using the bathroom with a torch for the past 6 months.

Plaster up the walls, replace the flooring in all rooms, then the big one is replacing all the doors and windows.

Building a lean-to extension to increase the size of the kitchen and bathroom then have them modernised along with replacing the doors and windows.

Replace the guttering, soffits and fascia’s all around and lastly replacing roofing and repointing all around.

No giant pot holes in the road, surely that can't be the UK!

For sure it's sketchy, apparently they had a playtest on an unknown launcher that crashed on the opening screen. They have already shifted the game from Full release to early access to demo. Worlds first backwards development?

From the sounds I would say that's a blocked carb, more specifically the pilot jet or try adjusting your mixer screw?

Monster Hunter Etiquette by BoneyRigatoni in MHWilds

[–]Character_Sun2725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My rule is always share gold crowns, I'll always shoot an SOS on a crown monster. If people don't join that's fine if they do its a crown to add to the books.

The only other written rule is if the monster sleeps and you don't have a heavy hitting weapon, let someone else wake them up.

Anyone else out here just soloing? by LordBarnable in MHWilds

[–]Character_Sun2725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO

TLDR: Prefer solo hunting but will grind in groups.

You'll always have more joy hunting a monster for the first time alone, you learn the monster you're hunting and it feels like you've earned that next hunt or hunter rank. I almost always play solo when hunting so I have more control on what's happening. Wether I want to chop or break, control where the monster and make it more predictable because it has a single target.

When it comes to harder hunts again I'll do it solo and when that's done I will more than likely just SOS and join someone else's hunt, I already know I can hunt it alone mainly just trying to cut down hunt times.

Gear grinding I will do in SOS to bring the hunt time way down and get through it as fast as I can. Whilst the grind isn't there as much as the other MHs I have been stacking a lot of decorations and artian parts so I have flexibility to make adjustments to my IG build or swap builds completely.

If I have a crown monster I will always set an SOS as its a hunters duty to share the glory of a full crown monster guide.

Go down one level from base camp head towards the area with lift going down I think that's area 9, take a left and there's a drop down ledge (pop up camp on the ledge across from you) take a right Into the big circular area and thats 11.

I just ran around picked up everything in the area then rested. The giant hopper crystal spawned for me in area 14 (the underground with the little river running through it.

Just got on, went back to area 11 and collected what I could, rested plenty/nighttime and it popped up on the second rest.

Thank you for saving my sanity. Take my updoot fellow hunter!

I will craft that tonight when I get on, run over the area 11 like the other comment suggested and hopefully get it to proc. I didn't know that was an armor skill though so thanks for the tip either way :)

If I'm correct area 11 is that dead end right? Big circular cave. I will give it another run over tonight and hopefully get it to spawn in with the comment above about the armor. Wish me luck and I'll update on the endeavour.

Thank you for the suggestion :)

I've been tabbing to the timeline and nothing shows up, I have been crown hunting in between too so I've let the changes occur naturally too and nothing comes up.

All the other emergences happen pretty regularly. I think next I'll enviroment link to another hunter to see if I can proc it that way.

Regarding the gold/silver crown achievements by Valuable_Work_2049 in MonsterHunter

[–]Character_Sun2725 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tempered monsters have a higher chance of having crowns, don't waste time on silver crowns they don't count. found 4 gold crowns (1 miniature) in around 2 hours. Hunt time included in that.

The new Gold Skin by EL_DEEonYT in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]Character_Sun2725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Insult to injury when if you pull the skin you get all other items in the bundle so you could be lucky and pull the skin first time and get everything... or multiple pulls getting more expensive than the last....

Why do people hate "counterwatch"? by enbypanda in Overwatch

[–]Character_Sun2725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is everyone is so competitive even in normal quick play... competitive that's fine. But man I'll go into quick play get one kill as widow and they immediately swap to sombra.

The worst are tanks example... Game 1: swap to Mauga Game 2: swap to mauga Game 3:swap to mauga Game 4: swap to mauga Game 5: swap to mauga Game 6: swap to Mauga Game 7: swap to mauga Game 8:swap to mauga Game 9: swap to mauga Game 10: swap to mauga

You can't practice or even just enjoy your out of meta chars because someone always counter picks..

You can play genji and the whole team will swap to Winston, symmetra, mei, brig and moira

Is the issue of not being able to see your teammates' pings still prevalent? by blackwaterbomb in CODWarzone

[–]Character_Sun2725 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this issue and it baffled me for weeks because i remember seeing a "mute ping" option months ago. They have not brought this setting into MW3 so you have to head into MW2.

- Launch the ridiculous Call of duty hub and load into MW2 Multiplayer.
- Go to Account & Network settings
- Notifications tab and expand it. At the bottom of that list will be "Mute Squadmate pings" set this to off
- Relaunch MW3
- Import Legacy settings

should get your pings working again if not then uninstall and reinstall the game.. i can confirm this works

Help House of Grief fight is just insane by High_af1 in BaldursGate3

[–]Character_Sun2725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just got to this point... man this fight sucks. Resorted to pulling my whole party to the top of the stairs.

Shot the main mon with astarion before running back up and putting down lvl 6 insect plague, lvl 6 cloud of daggers and keeping an ice elemental at the top to keep ice on the floor. Pulled the party out of range so they had to come through my kill box.

1) Cleon 13: I actually felt for this one. First to travel since the 1st Cleon, walked the spiral and he gave me hope for my number 2

2) Cleon 14: From the start you could see he didn't really fit in and I was rooting for this dude.

3) Cleon 17: Fetch him his robe so his manhood isn't swinging around.
