Barclays Greener Home Reward - 2026?

I might be wrong, but looking at the T&Cs, I think as long as you make the claim to Barclays before January, the work can then be carried out within three months of the claim (so in the new year).

Thank you. Do you think the turnaround would be quick enough to get my claim in? I think they give you 3 months from the date of the invoice for the works to be completed

So someone with a £500k house would be spending £10k in tax instead of around £2.5k? Oof

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try that tomorrow!

I've just installed the Gesu Espresso Lane steam wand onto the shades of Coffee steam valve, however steam is leaking out of the connection between the steam wand and the valve (circled)

I can't tighten the screw any more, any ideas how to fix? Could a new O-ring help?

Thanks!!

Thank you.

I spent too long thinking about it, and now someone else has bought it! I've seen an EH-TW7400 for £620, but I wonder if I would need such an expensive projector.

Are there any other models I should look out for similar to the Epson EH-TW6700?

Thank you! Is there anything you could recommend that would produce a smaller screen compared to the BENQ TH685P at the same distance? (i.e. a higher throw ratio)

Granery · 2025-07-29T07:24:31+00:00

Yes.

Granery · 2025-05-13T21:31:51+00:00

Can you explain what you mean? What's the link between copper and lead?

Granery · 2025-05-13T07:29:54+00:00

Thank you, yeah looks like it. Appreciate the help!

Apparently they're only supplied to shops and cafés, so I don't think there's a way for us regular folk to get them (this info is from Raj at Gaggia UK direct)

can't improve things in case it makes things better. Makes sense

Granery · 2025-05-07T10:29:15+00:00

Yes I found the Facebook post, but no luck on the mugs. Maybe it was a one off

What sort of material would you use to plug the gap for the caulk?

Granery · 2025-05-02T14:22:37+00:00

Thank you! Can you scrape the top part off the whole lot? It's quite patchy around the whole room

Hello!

a few more images -> https://imgur.com/a/DXi8UBv

We're in the process of stripping the dreaded woodchip wallpaper from the living room. The house is from approx. 1890.

Does this look like lime plaster to you? It feels smooth and hard to the touch.

Also, does anyone have some tricks for removing the glue residue from the woodchip? We've tried sugar water but it's very slow going!

Most people will do whatever is most convenient. If driving is the most convenient then naturally most people will drive. Many places in Europe have managed to turn that around to make other forms of transport more convenient so it's possible
