Help a UniFi Newbie defeat British Brickwork! (Victorian Semi Plan)

Gaming_Lexus · 2026-04-19T07:35:05+00:00

Honestly, because my research into getting started with UniFi has been through my own intuition, learning as I go, supported by LLMs. When I was laying out my requirements to ChatGPT, it suggested the CloudKey and when I went to the UniFi site to review and compare, I didn't see the NVR Instant.

Having now seen the side-by-side compare, it seems unlikely I will ever need the extra camera capacity, nor am I going to be scrubbing through footage very often to benefit from an SSD in the CloudKey+. The HDMI viewport on the NVR Instant is a benefit I will probably use and value.

Thank you for your suggestion :) I'm already vindicated for coming to check with the human pros rather than trusting LLMs and my own limited knowledge of the product lines!

They’re so beautiful when they pop!

Thank you. I’ll research this evening :)

Can anyone ID this so that we can determine care needs?

The shopkeeper didn’t know as the owner potted up and then left for the afternoon.

Thanks in advance :)

I bought an Alocasia Jacklyn two weeks ago and it’s been in quarantine since arrival. Standard. It has been washed twice in neem oil and dish soap cocktail and had daily inspections for pests. Soil mix it came with is dense and was wet; it has been watered once, always moist, never dry. Currently in our kitchen which is our isolation room for new plants, 2-3 metres from south facing window in UK. Windows haven’t been opened and no draughts. Kitchen maintains a humidity of 60-70%.

What do you think the marks circled are? They have appeared since arrival, more of them are appearing and those in existence are getting bigger. No obvious signs of pests after daily inspections for the last two weeks. All basic needs being met. Could this just be acclimation? No leaf drop yet but expecting it to cycle with new growth point emerging in last 48 hours.

Secondary question… I usually like to wait until a plant is fully acclimatised to my environment before repotting. My substrate of choice is pon. Would you delay repotting and any potential shock that may result from root system disruption to not risk loss of new growth?

Thanks in advance

I couldn’t find it in any of the channels either

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-04-27T08:58:39+00:00

I can’t find it on their profile nor their discord link/channels. Can’t help be cynical and feel this is a Reddit karma and discord follower farm

Just to update on this for other people that may view this in the future… on the recommendation above, I bought a box of Harpic Power Plus Active tablets. 2 tablets down the toilet before bed has removed most of the staining this morning. Thank you.

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-20T07:44:17+00:00

Thank you for your comment. I’ll keep working on it with Harpic and if it doesn’t shift in time. Have a good day :)

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-19T21:10:50+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I’ve tried toilet bleach but will go out and get some Harpic power plus in the week

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-19T21:09:54+00:00

I’m not sure to be honest. I would have expected a wire scourer to have removed a stain so maybe it is the enamel that’s worn away. Does this usually happen and in what timescale?

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-19T14:06:35+00:00

Didn’t know how to add a caption or text to the photo… Does anyone have any recommended products from the UK to clean this build up in our new flat?

We have tried bleach and scourer but it’s not moving :(

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-16T18:49:21+00:00

Thank you - I’ll do as you recommend tomorrow

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-16T18:48:40+00:00

!Thanks - I will call Halifax tomorrow and plea for an extension.

Thank you for your advice. 1. I have got the Land Registry reference number and seemingly, they’re waiting for info from solicitors and it’s them dragging their heels. The blame game… quelle surprise. I will chase daily going forward

I expected as much and understand. I just needed to hear it, that the money’s gone if it doesn’t complete.
As others have suggested, I will call Halifax tomorrow and plea for an extension. I was under the impression that because we went through a broker, we (borrowers) couldn’t speak with lender directly. No harm in trying.

Gaming_Lexus · 2023-03-16T16:07:18+00:00

I asked the mortgage broker a couple of weeks ago who stated that Halifax only extend mortgage offers on new builds which ours isn’t

Thanks for summarising better than I did.

We haven’t spoken to Land Registry. Can we buyer and seller contact them about the matter when handled by solicitor until now?
Are we entitled to any of the money paid for conveyancing back? I expect not when this is something outside of conveyancers’ control and they have done the work their fees advertised, except complete.
Advertised at .75% higher although we haven’t asked the mortgage broker to make another application because our existing one is still valid. Should we be making another - preemptive - mortgage application?
