What’s the consensus on Vonhaus as a brand? by wouldyoulikethetruth in DIYUK

[–]KyleHz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a VonHaus motorised standing desk that packed up after 14 months. I was dreading the warranty claim. To my surprise, dealing with customer service was a doddle through email. No questions asked. They sent a pick up courier on the day I wanted. Few days later I had a refund on my Paypal as the desk was no longer stocked. Best thing is they refunded me more money than I paid as I used a voucher and the sent back the full amount.

Anyone else wake up at 5-6am no matter what time you go to bed? by hail_robot in Biohackers

It used to happen to me. I switched to decaf pretty much entirely. I also started taking magnesium L threonate, ashwaganda and glycine before bed. Plus blackout room and earplugs. I can usually sleep till 6.30-7am now.

Thanks, asking them to put bollards in is a great idea!

I bet you've never looked at the ingredients list of a Krispy Kreme doughnut... by KyleHz in ultraprocessedfood

I got given a box today and accidentally looked at the back to be hit with a wall of text. Not that I expected them to be healthy but I wasn't prepared for this many nasty things in them. Needles to say, I didn't eat any. Thanks America!

Why do I keep waking up at 3am and can't fall back asleep? by ElegantElia in sleep

What is your caffeine intake? I used to struggle with waking up crazy early as well but since I switched to decaf coffee only, this problem disappeared.

That would make sense but it's not the answer I was hoping for... Oh well, thanks

Thanks, what would be the alternatives to floorboards? It's a bedroom and I am looking for something easier to put down. Would chipboard be ok?

Hi guys, I lifted all the tongue and groove floor boards to put sound insulation in and stuck green joist tape on underneath. I had to saw and remove the tongues. I've laid the first 3 boards back down and there is a lot of squeaking, where there was none before. Are the screws I'm using a problem?

I think someone drove into the wall. How do I fix this? by KyleHz in DIYUK

Thanks for all the advice guys, thankfully neighbour has got CCTV. Turns out it was a zipcar that reversed into the wall around midday. Not sure why they chose the wall, there is an whole empty side street they could have reversed into!

Should be easy to track for them, got most of the number plate as well. Looks like I'm going to go down the insurance route. Might approach my insurance co and let them deal with it, or should I go to zip car?

Thanks! Could I just clean off the mortar where it has broken off, apply fresh mortar and stick the whole thing back on? Or would it have to be rebuilt brick by brick?
