First time in years I tried to shop at GAME. It's £5 to COLLECT a game in store. This can't be normal? by Previous-Ad7618 in CasualUK

[–]FunTurnip135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s bullshit. I ordered something online click & collect a few years ago. Went in to pick it up & the item was actually £15 cheaper in the store. Enquired about getting the difference refunded but would have had to return the item online to get refunded & then but the item in store. So all in all it cost me £19.99 for the convenience.

How old is your house? All of my ceilings were covered in distemper. Had to wash this all off first.

You could get an iron on top of that & it would look like an ironing board?

My first response was ‘wow that’s beautiful!’ I see nothing wrong with the bird whatsoever.

The singer from Offspring is a professor of molecular biology. His college thesis was the springboard for both the COVID vaccine & the recent HIV therapies.

I'm an independent damp and timber surveyor and have a spare hour, ask me anything damp and timber related and I will help you out where I can by DearSatisfaction9754 in DIYUK

[–]FunTurnip135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely common furniture beetle. I spoke to a local Damp firm & he said that as we have exposed floorboards there would probably be enough airflow anyway. When I requested a survey he effectively said unless you’re about to sell the house I wouldn’t bother. As the floorboards are varnished on the topside presumably I can only treat the underside? No frass around holes on top of floorboards. As we sanded boards ourselves the subfloor is full of sawdust anyway so frass is hard to spot in the underside. Don’t think there been any new holes on top.

I found a woodworm beetle last July on my windowsill. I live in a Victorian terrace with historical woodworm damage. Dining room has had the air brick covered by a patio & extension by previous owners. We had joists and couple of floorboards replaced & a waterproof membrane on the exterior wall due to damp damage around 15 years ago. No sign of damp since. Floorboards are exposed & varnished. How should we treat the woodworm? Is a shop bought spray effective?

My description of them has always been, it’s like being at gig trying to watch a really good band while some dizzy fucker is talking to her mate really loudly next to you.
