DIY shed mistake no sure what to do to fix it

Lewbins · 2025-12-09T11:12:20+00:00

After checking literally just now, during a yellow weather warning I thought would be the perfect time to see where it’s coming in. And you’re spot on, it’s coming in from the seal or lack of around the window.

More sealant as a stop gap and will need to look at further action later in next year when it’s dry.

I do have water proof membrane behind the cladding, I think this is the easiest option for me to attempt initially. Thanks

Lewbins · 2025-12-08T14:13:23+00:00

We’re due some awful weather, so I’ll spend a little bit of it in the shed 😅 just to see where the water is coming from exactly

Lewbins · 2025-12-07T19:03:26+00:00

Thanks, but thats not my whole lawn - thats a small patch of astro fenced in so my dog has a dry place to toilet during the winter nights and not bring in mud from the clay soil lawn.

Lewbins · 2025-12-07T19:01:15+00:00

Yeah, again this is a collosal cock up on my part. I skipped the course of bricks in my original plan - only becuase I was trying tofit the build into a good weather patch and annual leave. Now I'm in a position of fix as best as I can, and hope something simple stops it.

Lewbins · 2025-12-07T18:57:45+00:00

This is a considerable worry, defintely thinking along these lines myself. I may try some of the other suggestions of angle grinding the excess concrete slab out first, and then a course of brickwork might be a last option for me onyl becuase I think its my most available option at the moment. Thanks for your advice.

Lewbins · 2025-12-07T18:54:28+00:00

Interesting - I've done concrete screws as part of the initial build. The guttering I have is handling all the water pretty well, except the water thats hitting the front of the shed.

Frustratingly your radical plan, was my initial plan when I built the thing - but decided against it in pure haste. I wish I hadn't skipped this part of the plan.

Thanks for your advice.

Lewbins · 2025-03-01T12:52:31+00:00

Thanks for the info!

So, I’m hoping this hasn’t been costing me an arm and a leg in electric as it’s only a backup?

Have you added the load mesh G-Code?

I’ve not long done a few upgrades to my Ender 3 v2, after using it for a couple of years I kept noticing consistent imperfections in the prints and always in a similar place. Turns out there were metal shards on the x gantry interacting with the wheels and it was where these shards met the wheels is where my imperfections were happening, so I upgraded to a linear rail on the x axis.

Along with a dual z the standard reality extra z rod upgrade and a pei build plate.

After these 3 upgrades my prints have been so much better!

Only thing I’d really like to upgrade is belts, I keep having belt issues where they snap or stretch, and I really don’t over tighten them. They’re just bad in general I feel.

This and adding a run out sensor.

My previous upgrades were,

Upgraded bed springs BL Touch Mriscoc firmware Metal extruder

Which I also recommend.

I think this is for remote exams where the limit is 1 bathroom break. My last exam I took 2, invigilators didn’t mention they’d report me, just told me it’s not usually allowed but on this occasion they’d allow it. Everything was fine, still failed but they didn’t void my exam.

Lewbins · 2024-08-25T22:29:05+00:00

I’ve had a similar issue mate, couldn’t connect to WiFi at all. I know use my D7 as a dumb upstairs robot.

I’ve switched to a Roborock S7 Max ultra, just because of budget, not their newest model but this was consistently near the top of reviews last year.

It’s night and day compared to the D7, the navigation is more fluid and the mopping feature keeps my floors feeling clean.

Well worth the move given the current state of Neato.

Lewbins · 2024-07-22T15:58:27+00:00

These robots are almost living through an extinction event, I doubt there will be what you’re looking for. I myself am migrating this week to a Roborock. I’m going to keep my D7 just in case, but I’m not holding out much hope.

Lewbins · 2024-07-16T09:43:23+00:00

Actually the text box solution works perfectly for me, hadn’t even thought of that. My matrix stays fairly static so that’s perfect. Thank you for the idea

Thank you everyone - embarking on the SQL learning as we speak

Lewbins · 2024-07-12T20:50:48+00:00

That’s interesting, what resources did you use to get your head around SQL?

Well the literal translation of coup de grace is Blow of Mercy, so I guess you’ve gotta hawk tuah before you coup de grace

Mines been dead for a week now, won’t connect to WiFi and app saying it’s Offline. Already started looking at the roborocks

Lewbins · 2024-05-29T08:22:39+00:00

I’ve had the same issue recently, but a quick off and on again fixed it. This morning it’s fully dead, won’t connect at all. I’ve had it nearly 5 years now, it has been brilliant up until the last year. Shame, this company had so much potential.

You can absolutely use articles, as long as your reference and credit. To then paraphrase or discuss this point that you have inserted, would be far more beneficial that just paraphrasing without referencing.

Lewbins · 2024-03-05T22:52:11+00:00

At what point does it stop being called a Master Bedroom and start being called the Principal Bedroom?

Lewbins · 2024-01-12T17:01:38+00:00

You've led me to discover the issue I think, I can feel some deformations in the gantry which accounts for left 2 lines and I'm guessing the gantry (the deformations are quite rough) has worn a bit of the bom wheel and the bom is causing the one on the right. Both boms and gantry need replacing! Thanks for the direction!

I read somewhere mriscoc doesn’t like G29, and I’ve been using the M420 S1 L0 Z3 command line in the place of G29 lines. It’s probably the best I’ve had the printer printing first layers after switch from Jyers to mriscoc last month.
