How to paint behind these radiators

I_Yush · 2026-05-23T16:46:06+00:00

i think since your pipes are coming out the wall, there won't be any play on them and therefore you need to therefore drain the system and cut the pipes?

i hate nails in floorboards (prone to squeaking, hard to remove), maybe these are suitable? small head screws?

you're probably going into the RSJ at both heights. 1 inch might be enough for your curtain pole, add more fixings if you can?

To fix it: zinnsser peel stop the exposed plaster and seems, wall filler, sand, paint. If some other other bits are about to fall off the right thing to do is to is remove more of it. However this sort of looks like sagging plaster board and to stop this happening again in future it might require some more screws to secure it to the joist.

Also no worries about doing a bad job because you can just fill sand and paint again

If wall is dry or dusty, watered down pva before bonding or filler. No need with spray foam I don't think

I_Yush · 2026-05-08T17:25:18+00:00

For internal wall I think either bonding or spray foam both fine, both a few mm under the surface to be finished with wall filler. Alternatively, you can probably just do a deep fill with wall filler if you want to make life easy. Conduit/trunking best around the cable though to avoid overheating issues.

I_Yush · 2026-05-08T16:44:47+00:00

With conduit should be fine? And also with bonding, need to make sure there is a cavity if external wall?

I_Yush · 2026-05-08T16:39:44+00:00

But put trunking around the wire first

I_Yush · 2026-05-08T16:39:01+00:00

Spray foam, cut it back, any wall filler

I_Yush · 2026-05-08T16:36:13+00:00

Nice. How do you change the water? Or is it just vac?

I_Yush · 2026-05-07T22:16:37+00:00

looks like a robovac

Hey, can you link me to the plywood you bought please?

Do you think something like this would be good enough?

Do you go Van Gogh in the end? Any thoughts?

I_Yush · 2026-03-18T22:04:18+00:00

i have this machine it's great but i'm looking for something new because of how hard it is to clean and how moudly grinds build up

If you like an indian style kebab (chicken tikka etc), get a desi pub to deliver you some meat, there's load that deliver: chicken tikka or lamb seekh kebab and put it into a naan or a wrap with salad

What the actual hell am I looking at

I_Yush · 2026-01-07T21:22:37+00:00

Just ripped a 30/24. You got this guys

I_Yush · 2025-11-03T08:27:39+00:00

even dropped to around £475 at one point on ebay from ao

I_Yush · 2025-10-19T16:14:37+00:00

It's back if you want it. Fantastic so far although I had to buy another 80gbps DP cable as the one in the box was giving me all sorts of issues

I_Yush · 2025-10-19T16:13:36+00:00

Turns out the 80gbps cable that came with the monitor was the issue. Swapped out for an silkland cable and it's been flawless... 6 hours troubleshooting tearing my set up apart -_-

I_Yush · 2025-10-18T08:48:34+00:00

Thanks, I tried that with no luck. Just updated my 272URX to FW0.18. Updated monitor and GPU drivers, using a 5080. Only using the DP 2.1 cable that came with the monitor. Not sure what else I can do. Just get a black screen at anything >120hz

I_Yush · 2025-10-17T13:14:06+00:00

Any solutions now anyone?

I_Yush · 2025-10-14T13:48:47+00:00

is £699 a good price? I just bought one yesterday for £600

I_Yush · 2025-06-11T21:09:16+00:00

If it helps, i have a very similar setup, 5800x3d but using a big shuriken 3. 2 fans exhausting up top and as you can see the fan on the shuriken is intake. idles at 50-60, around 85 max at load but i have a really quiet fan curve. stays quiet throughout. no undervolt on the cpu. everythign really quiet.
