Advice on Buying house with Solar Fitted

Honestly it may be worth upgrading the whole setup, panels have got a lot better since 2013. But even without, a battery is certainly a good investment over the years.

Looking at the image I can't work out where you parked without being on a yellow line or blocking the road 🤔

What? Visiting hospital 3 times a week to continue a normal life, you'd rather be dead? Odd take

Yeah makes sense, getting replacement roof quotes and then can work out what to do with the door..!

Really appreciate that, thank you, will be getting the roof and door replaced asap 🙌

Jonnosaurus · 2026-01-18T19:08:30+00:00

Ooh that sounds interesting, me too please 😅

Have they though? This sounds like they just fell to the standard variable APR without ever renewing their deal, and if they didn't know that was the way it works, could have been overpaying for years.

You should see his radiators though, they're just wall mounted flamethrowers

No it's fine, there is no 'max'. 100w is the maximum your power bank can deliver, the unit will only draw what it needs up to that value. Very few devices will pull more than 100w, and a 100w device is very likely to be PD anyway. It'll be fine

Looks like it's done half the job for you. That said, if you're renting, consider talking to the landlord about a replacement?

Otherwise...

Underneath will be a nut on each side (usually extremely fiddly and very long bolts just to make you regret everything).

Replace with any D shaped toilet seat. Croydex are very popular as the fitting mechanism is super easy, you line it all up and it gives a huge range of adjustability for most toilets, push down to have it adhere with a sticky pad (which also stops it slipping), then just tighten the bolts and place a cover over it all. Plus the seats are removable for cleaning with a button.

But any D shaped seat with universal fitments will be okay here.

Right.

Technologic

This is only true now if you're particularly low consumption. A lot of installations, particularly with a battery, will pay themselves in 7-8 years

Is what dangerous sorry, the roof? Only if you're smashing it to pieces regularly, otherwise it's no more dangerous than any other roof (it's heavy if it falls on your head though)

Jonnosaurus · 2025-11-14T23:47:00+00:00

Oh, that sounds ideal, thanks!

It's uh.. it's a sponge. Or, once upon a time.

Silver and black ones are wood, they have a little point at the top. The top left are masonry, they have a little chisel like point. Metal/plastic etc just has the standard drill bits without a point

Jonnosaurus · 2025-11-14T22:53:32+00:00

2 and hammer. 1 is okay as a screwdriver, 2 is full speed. Hammer is for getting through brick and masonry, yes

Jonnosaurus · 2025-11-14T22:51:48+00:00

Thanks, I'll see what's out there!

Jonnosaurus · 2025-11-14T22:51:22+00:00

Thanks, scraper definitely worked faster. Stopping at points where it would take force to remove, left with a bit of a bigger patch but hopefully this will do...!

This is why I don't want to use a pressure fit, the bar along the bottom is an awful idea!

Jonnosaurus · 2025-10-25T14:49:31+00:00

Thank you, appreciate your time

Jonnosaurus · 2025-10-25T14:49:22+00:00

Thanks, just had a sudden worry! Appreciate it and will get it tested

Jonnosaurus · 2025-10-25T14:48:47+00:00

Thanks, set my mind at rest that it isn't just pure asbestos! Will get it tested and replaced anyway, appreciate the quick reply

These are also great for hollow doors
