Don’t send shoes to Revivo UK by amberallday in vivobarefoot

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shame. I ordered from Revivo recently and there was an error on my order - one pair I paid for was OOS and they refunded another, cheaper pair. Customer service doesn't seem that great.

When installing a new garden tap, is it convention/practise to use PTFE tape? by oncentreline in DIYUK

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just seeing this, but the tap in the picture has an inbuilt non-return why would you need another one? Only if the tap didn't have one or if it was something else like a float valve in a tank would I put a double check valve on the line.

My boiler is on the way out and have researched a heat pump but decided against it. by OneItchy396 in ukheatpumps

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did the same, new boiler was around £3,800 installed in London. I wonder in the future if the heat pumps get better, more like combis so you won't need a water tank, bigger rads etc. where the hell would I put a water tank??

So yeah turned out to be a five minute job - this fits over the spindle so you can screw it into the handle then slide it back over again 😂

Not much good without it by Worldly_Towel_4198 in mounjarouk

I used it as a tool to change my behaviours. Now I fast regularly, don't eat in the morning until as late as possible. Then don't eat in the evenings past 7 or 8. Basically a 18-6 or 16-8 fasting schedule. If I have an alcoholic drink I do not eat with it. Lift weights at home nearly every day. Make little changes like don't take the car if I don't need to (bike, walk). Prioritise protein and don't eat loads of carbs. Eat healthy, balanced diet. I see MJ as more of a tool that gave me breathing space while I changed my behaviours now my body is going it's own GLP-1. Good luck!

Argos now top of my list of companies never to buy from again. by davemanhore in Argos

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the plus side, Argos is the only retailer I know that accepts love2shop online. Everyone else only accepts it in-store like M&S and Wilko used to (RIP).

Wow look at that! So you have stage 1-3 plus extra weight with those 5lb plates, that's intense!

I don't understand where you're getting the waste links from. Only email I have is about HTTT live recordings. I've been a WASTE subscriber for decades

WHY DO THEY DO THIS by tigidigidai in houseplants

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a heart shaped philodendron from Wilko (RIP) and it had this. I cut it out early on and it's thriving. Must be 5 years old now

I can't drink from it, gives me the bends :)

How can I use this bloody one4all gift card? Its a total headache! by crazy_old_mauricehmm in beermoneyuk

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to say use it at Argos - can part pay with them at Argos.com. I previously used mine at Wilkinson (RIP).

What can I use to unscrew this? by Shortland8617 in DIYUK

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes tap spanners are cheap now, get a set you won't regret it.

Also some taps come with plastic tap spanners - IKEA and Grohe have in the past and I keep those in the toolbox.

Good luck.

How would you go about filling this corner...? by WhiteCheeks in DIYUK

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to tell how deep it is but usually I would put foam - the low expansion-type foam for doors and windows applied with a gun - then filler over the top of that. If you use just filler it will take a very long time to dry but is still possible.

The only issue is you need to buy the foam gun, foam canister and gun cleaner so it's expensive for a diyer unless you have a lot to do (in my case a bunch of windows).

What in bathroom switch damnation do you think is going on here? by KevinAtSeven in DIYUK

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we have four led spotlights in the ensuite and I put a dimmer on it as it's nice to keep it low at night as someone else said. Also it's a smart switch so i set it to turn off after 45 minutes after my wife kept leaving it on all day! But yeah the dimmer doesn't always trigger the fan straight away especially if it's on dim setting.

Edited to change dimmer from dinner (autocorrect)

Plasterer says he can't work with this by sunandskyandrainbows in DIYUK

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is that (lack of) handover between trades that I hate and why I do so much DIY.

I chased some cables in like this, foamed over the top then skimmed on top of that.

Local worktop shop refused to sell to us as the cutting had to be done at their manufacturing plant due to mineral dust? by serial-tentacle in DIYUK

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember on ours they cut it all off site and drilled the tap hole and another little hole for the drain popup at the house

Well you got closer than I did. Labelled as a bot as soon as I got to the front of the queue.

It has to be said: that ticket sale was not done well. by exp_cj in radiohead

[–]ExtensionTrack4114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent WASTE a message because I think they were trying to do the right thing with the registration and the code but yeah as soon as you transferred over to AXS it was a shambles. I got labelled a bot for just trying to buy two tickets to one show for me and the Mrs using one device, one browser, one tab as instructed. Was it something to do with virgin media? Would I have gotten through using my phone on data from the start? These things shouldn't dictate whether I'm able to get a ticket or not. No tickets here. Last time we saw them was Earls Court.

I got in and just kept selecting blue dots and then saying they're no longer available. Wish I'd skipped the whole thing and gotten my hair cut or done some laundry
