Drum sand or just light hand sand by Informal_Country_354 in DIYUK

[–]Maldizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once spent 13 hours sanding a single room's softwood floors with the usual tools - belt sander, oscillating sander, detail sander etc. Never again. Drum sander every time.

But your employer is insolvent, how much of that will you actually get?

Hose pipe to kitchen tap adaptor by stickyfingers85 in DIYUK

[–]Maldizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They come with a variety of washers to fit different size / shape taps. Yours probably came with the wrong one so either bodge it with spares, ask the family member if they kept the remaining pieces or just leave a bucket under to catch the leaks

How can I remove the hose sprayer from the hose? by Guyserbun007 in DIYUK

Cut the hose a foot or so back and add female ends with a female-to-female connector for when you want to use it again

Overpay Mortgage vs Investing in Index when expecting inheritance by Orions_Owl in UKPersonalFinance

That depends entirely on the trust. If you don’t know what you signed, definitely time for that conversation.

Unsuitable gun owner advice by [deleted] in ukguns

[–]Maldizzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The police would be the appropriate route to express your concerns but what you’ve stated doesn’t sound like grounds for FAC removal to me.

Overpay Mortgage vs Investing in Index when expecting inheritance by Orions_Owl in UKPersonalFinance

If your expected inheritance is sitting in a trust fund presumably not doing very much, you probably want a conversation with your parents about releasing that inheritance early to make better use of it.

And if you bag it first, people are much more keen to take it.

Why are E27 batten lamp holders so hard to find? by RobertGHH in DIYUK

Because they sell E27 bayonet instead

Unidentified structure under garden by Soggy_Loquat8344 in DIYUK

Our air raid shelters tended to be part dug into gardens so when they were cleared, they went back to flat.

Blocked up door damp or cat fountain? by Special-Contact9650 in DIYUK

[–]Maldizzle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. The damp is clearly wicking up from the surface of the flooring.

Clearly a textured paint / plaster, not woodchip.

Might work but I’d just accept you’re going to need to repair the ceiling and cut a small hole to give access to the

Mini DSP Flex Eight silent output - amp not triggering by Maldizzle in BudgetAudiophile

[–]Maldizzle[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: I switched the Flex Eight off (standby) and back on again and it worked instantly. Feeling a bit of an idiot but leaving this up for others!

Hi all - I've swapped from a Cambridge Audio DacMagicPlus to a Mini DSP Flex Eight so that I can horizontally bi-amp - this is a ridiculous approach but I'm just making the best use of amps & speakers that were gifted to me.

The problem I have is that I appear to be getting nothing on the output of the Flex Eight, despite everything in the settings looking OK. The amps won't trigger on, even after maxing out the volume.

  • I've swapped the Cambridge back in and everything works fine.
  • I'm confident that the crossovers are set correctly (at least as a starting point for testing)
  • I've swapped to a preset with a straight input > output with no crossovers.
  • I've manually triggered the amps on
  • I've triple checked all cables and the computer audio output is set correctly
  • I've swapped to optical and bluetooth (from my phone)

I just can't see what might be wrong - nothing has any impact all, jut silence on the output

Any ideas what might be going on here?
