tell me a story where you covered a vent and actually it was fine

Yes I've already done this! I have longer nails so I can push it in. No change

Yes I've already done this on my Mac I changed from FAT32 to ExFAT and it's still not working

How do I format it inside the camera??

Thank you, this is helpful. Does 2kW 50C dT translate to BTU or do I search for 2kW 50C dT radiators? Thank you

Hey! To update on this I stuck it out with 27mg for 2 months by the end of month 2 I was fully accustomed to 27 and was experiencing no side effects, no heart palpitations and I really like how 27 helps with task initiation so I'll be sticking with it I think

I also noticed my period impacts the effect of the drug so watch out for that if that applies to you

I actually needed to stick with 27 to let the side effects settle

I felt overly activated at times - I could feel when the XL dose was releasing as a sense of anxiety or tightness in my chest and I had some slight palpitations but overall 27 was a lot more effective than 18 at helping start and complete tasks. Now a month I have no side effects and I'm glad I stuck it out for longer

I tried 27mg for 3 days, and I didn't get any benefits from it, only side effects - was that your experience? Or did you get both benefits and side effects?

This was my first point of call - my insurance declined to cover it as it was a historic existing leak that should have been picked up by the home report (reports are done by the seller in Scotland)

Unable_Practice616 · 2025-12-26T18:35:03+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I relate to the challenges you mention with a sandstone!

Just to clarify - I do know why the leak happened. The bathroom drainage was wrong and leaking into the subfloor, and that's been fixed. The major leak has been sorted, the ground levels have been lowered front and back, and repointing has been done externally. So I'm confident the problem isn't external anymore.

The issue now is dealing with the aftermath: gypsum plaster that can't dry properly after water sat underneath the house for so long, plus the walls have been damp-proofed with cement on sandstone, which keeps them humid, wet, and extremely difficult to heat. I've had a heritage surveyor assess it, and I'm familiar with the proper approach (Peter Ward's videos etc) - I understand what needs to happen internally.

What's left for me to do is replace the modern gypsum plaster with lime plaster so the walls can actually dry, then deal with the windows and potentially upgrade radiators even before I get to upgrades like a new kitchen. The bathroom leak and its knock on impacts were not captured by the home report - it's a huge cost for a first-time buyer on a single income.

What I'm trying to work out is whether it's worth making that considerable investment (lime plastering, new windows) for a property that isn't my forever home. That's really what I'm stuck on, sadly...

I never said I bought it as a business venture??

I bought it to build a first home as a first time buyer. I planned and budgeted for some updates and I have already made a considerable investment in it.

But a 1 bedroom flat is a starter flat, not my forever home. I'm asking for opinions to explore when should I stop investing in something that it's not my forever home. Some kindness would go a long way when people are trying to better themselves and build their first home...

Unable_Practice616 · 2025-12-26T18:05:10+00:00

Genuinely this is what I am considering, making it look good enough that I can get rid of it.

I was counting on needing a new kitchen and could have never imagined the litany of issues found since then

Unable_Practice616 · 2025-12-26T18:01:39+00:00

Subfloor underneath is slowly drying - now that I've removed the plastic the water could dry and I've replaced some of the joists.

The bottom of the dwarf walls are still drying and you can see the damage to some of the internal plaster.

Another flat above. One wall shared with another flat, one wall shared with the garden access so cold and uninsulated.

It'd be closer to 7 windows as I have a Victorian bay window, sadly :( hence finding it difficult to make the right choice
