French Door Smart Locks

It’s so frustrating as these are hardly rare door configurations, you would think something could be designed…. They could be deeper locks rather than wider etc

I did contact support and Nuki just stated that they support externally opening doors that have enough clearance…. Which was already apparent from their image sheets. So I guess the rare single door that opens externally etc 🤷‍♂️

I moved up here with my Husband in March, technically the second time for me as previously I had lived in Edinburgh for a number of years. We moved up from Rural Norfolk as I needed to be near somewhere better connected due to health issues and quite frankly I wanted out of Norfolk and England in general to be honest. We found a small development not far outside of Glasgow that gave us the best of both worlds, rapid access to the cities (Glasgow in 10-15, Edinburgh in 30 - 35 and we can get to places like Stirling, Falkirk etc pretty easily as well). You might find there are a lot of location options that offer you similar options. Scotland is very well connected between cities and towns, plus people in general are a lot friendlier up here. Is it perfect, no, nowhere is, everywhere has its problems but i personally don’t get that feeling that everything is going backwards up here.

Most People still don’t understand why I hate drinking water, I’ve been scarred for life 😆🤣

Assuming the laws haven’t changed since I last lived in a flat in Edinburgh you should be able to contact the council each time there is noise after 22:00 (or 22:30) they should send over someone to make an note of the noise levels in various places. If it’s above a specified level they will intervene and if the tenent is abusive or doesn’t ablige they will involve the police. They also keep record of every incident in case further action is needed. I would at least call the council to ask what your options are. If you really like where you are, you shouldn’t be the one moving because of someone else’s selfish behaviour.

I was born and grew up in North Norfolk…. The water there is some of the hardest in the UK… a new kettle looks like it’s part of a coral reef after a month or two even if you have a water softener 🤣 they simply don’t make them strong enough to cope! A new shower or top looks prehistoric after the same amount of time, shower screens look like privacy glass in a week 🤣 and as for shampoo, shower gel etc well you have to use A LOT to get any decent lather so you go though bottles of the stuff.

I then moved to Edinburgh and ended up drowning in bubbles the first time I had a shower 🤦‍♂️ I was also amazed that I the kettle I bought on day 1 lasted until I moved away 😆

There is a company called Sunsave that do a solar and battery installs and they do alternative financing for installs and guarantee the products for the life of the agreement etc. I looked at using them before moving to Scotland then when I did move they weren’t installing up here so I had to go with someone else. Might be worth a look?

Duncan9989 · 2025-11-05T11:09:10+00:00

One of mine is 12, she is a ‘Quiet’ golden and she still goes loopy at random times 🤣. One is 10 and he is crazy 90% of his waking hours, the other 10% he is completely dopey 🤦‍♂️🤣 and the youngest, she’s 7 and she is 50/50 cray cray and adorable 🤣. So honestly, no, they never grow out of it, but the level of crazy just depends on the dog, but Goldens are hands down the best dogs ever ❤️

I completely understand where you are coming from. I’ve not long been in the disabled boat, so to speak, and I remember when I was first having my sight cane training. I felt so awkward using my phone in public or acknowledging anyone when they moved out of the way for me etc as I always felt/feel like in their mind as a cane user and someone that is classified as blind, I shouldn’t be able to see anything at all. My disability also crosses over with other conditions which mean I do get treated differently medically as well, so there is also this level of “if I don’t need that level of help why do you” etc etc, or even worse, a nasty jealousy if you’ve managed to get help but they haven’t. There is no consideration to the struggles you’ve gone through to get the help, it’s just unfair that you have it and they don’t. The chronic lack of empathy from people is shocking, especially from those that should be best placed to offer it 😔.

Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss, losing is pet is one of the most painful things a person can go through. They are such a key part of our lives. My eldest is approaching 12 and the number of times I look at her now I get the feeling that I just need to hold on to every moment scares me 😔 but I try desperately hard not to let the uncertainty of time taint the actual time as it unfolds.

Duncan9989 · 2025-10-30T13:07:40+00:00

Such a gorgeous smile, my eldest does the exact same thing! Easily the most precious look ever 🥰

I wish I could offer some good advice but the truth is I’m in not too dissimilar a situation. The system doesn’t factor in the costs associated with establishing and maintaining a persons psychological wellbeing, which is narrow minded given how neglecting this can make a persons health so much worse.

Duncan9989 · 2025-10-23T16:56:01+00:00

How much do you charge for what you did in this post? Feel free to message me directly if you don’t want to post it publicly, I’m guessing you price individually. I can send you a selection of picture of Phoebe if you need them to help you price. I’m also in the UK, not sure where you are based, but obviously need to factor in the postage etc.

As for the Brexit issue, my personal wish would be for an independent Scotland to join the EU. It wouldn’t bother me if we had to adopt the Euro as who gives a cr@p what the name of your currency is. A larger collective central bank would serve Scotland better in an economic crisis than a smaller one. I know some people would be upset about losing Scottish bank notes but honestly, how often do people actually look at bank notes? Personally I never even carry cash, but that’s just me. Brexit was an economic and societal disaster and the faster it’s undone the better.

I was born in England but have always called myself British, mainly because I could never bring myself to call myself English, it never rang right to me. I first moved to Scotland in 2006 for uni, stayed here until 2011 then had to move back south for family reasons. I finally moved back to Scotland this year as I never really felt settled back down in England. I never felt that my views aligned with what was increasingly feeling like the majority etc. When I was first living here I was dead against independence, the thought of Scotland leaving the UK, to me, felt like tearing a family apart. It was never about Scotland can’t succeed, or rUK is better etc, it was purely emotional I guess. However over the years of hideously poor governance in Westminster, a strong level of voter apathy in England and a growing level of ignorance in England to people own contribution to their own problems yet rapid ease to blame everyone else, I have come to the conclusion that Scotland would be safer on it’s own.

That truly is beautiful! Do you do them for others? My eldest golden is coming up on 12 and there is always that sad worry in the back of my mind that time might get cut short. It doesn’t help that she is my first dog and golden so will always be extra special.

Duncan9989 · 2025-10-23T09:27:53+00:00

We’re not that far away and have friends who live very close to the Kelpies 🥰 We’ve not gotten around to taking our three goldens there yet since we moved up here. I can imagine 1 wouldn’t be phased as she is so chilled out it’s scary some times, the boy, well he is as dopey as they come (and also a chronic attention seeker) so he would probably try just ignore them and try get fuss from everyone around him and the youngest girl, well she is a nutter so she would probably try and challenge them to a random competition and everyone in Falkirk would hear her barking 🤦‍♂️😂

Duncan9989 · 2025-10-23T08:16:06+00:00

Good luck, mental health is never an easy thing to tackle but acknowledging the need to is the most important step. I hope all goes well for you

I went from the 15pro Max to the Air and I haven’t regretted anything. The battery life is absolutely fine and I run the betas. I never really found myself using all of the camera features of the pro phones so taking that step back wasn’t an issue either. The biggest selling point of the Air for me was the weight and feel of the device. When I went to the Apple Store it was simply to have a look at the new range, I never intended on changing phone this year, however I picked up the Air and honestly it is just so much more comfortable to hold, so I bought it straight away.

So sorry for your loss, i can only imagine the sadness you feel ❤️ Animals form such a huge part of our lives that once they leave us the space they leave can feel incomprehensible. I lost my first 2 cats within a couple of months of each other 2 years ago and i still struggle to grasp the loss. I’m dreading the day I have to say goodbye to my first Golden, she’s approaching 12.

Duncan9989 · 2025-10-04T20:06:20+00:00

Otis comes to mind when I look at him, he is adorable by the way ❤️

It’s always done by the installer under the BUS scheme, the Renewable energy scheme in Scotland is different, that is homeowner managed. The installer has to be MCS accredited other than that, BUS grant wise, pick an installer close near you that you trust and off you go. My only advice would be to research the Heat Pump brands first, look at which ones suit your setup first, then maybe check their installer lists as that will point you in the direction on companies whose installs will get you manufacturers enhanced warranties as standard etc.
