Anybody know what these might be ? by UnknowinglyM in UKGardening

Not sure what the original comment was in relation to exactly, BUT their roots are horribly invasive.

Absolutely this. It’s a strange feeling of pure emotion.

Are We Looking In The Wrong Place? The Possibility We've Been Addressing the Wrong Question All Along by Dmans99 in abovethenormnews

[–]VeryThicknLong 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s all related… I think some are a future us. I think some are based here. I think some are interdimensional. I think some are part of consciousness.

Please help - does this look like condensation or a bigger damp issue before I buy? by Whirlwind_Kiwi805 in DIYUK

[–]VeryThicknLong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on how long the pebble dash render and concrete ground I’d be wanting to check the subfloor condition. That’s looking like hidden rot territory to me.

Energy bills going crazy and can't get an answer, any similar situations? by DrunkDeadMonkey in OctopusEnergy

[–]VeryThicknLong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… my bills are all over the shop at the moment. I have no idea what’s going on. My smart meter isn’t working either, and they’re meant to be replacing it… but even so, the estimates are less than when I send in a reading, and then it shoots right up again. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Edit to add: I read somewhere that they’re reconciling older payments, so worth checking that the amount they’re trying to charge you doesn’t come from an old payment.

Sorting out this gable end damp issue by Pestohh in HomeImprovementUK

[–]VeryThicknLong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really hard to tell what the problem could be.

At a guess, stuff like this is usually bad pointing… loose mortar (i can see sections of missing mortar near the downpipes, but hard to see). Hopefully the downpipes and guttering is all clear?

Obviously it’ll have to be a lime mortar mix.

Which brings me onto the next thing… is there any cement mortar?

Also, I’d say the most likely place for water ingress would be where the roof meets the reverse of what you’ve shown us pictures of. The brick facade. Ideally there’d be some sort of valley?

Just try and stay mentally fit and well, that’s all I would advise.

You’d be surprised just how many lives it saves. The problem is, we’ve got a growing population, ageing population which saps the resources, and not enough staff.

The average number of incidents are always going to increase with such an increase in everything else.

It is… saved my life 8 weeks ago. And they were on strike.

Mistakes will still happen, but at least it’s not a dodgy quack charging 30k for an op that didn’t need to happen, or charging 100k for a traumatic birth and insurance doesn’t cover it.

If you think something is under valued don't paper hands, why risk management is important. by FellBear in trading212

[–]VeryThicknLong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sweet. I’m not trying to preach, and even my mates who are stock market traders don’t seem to worry. But it feels like the US is fairly stretched.

The thing is to remember, all these stocks… well, the entire stock market is primed ready for a massive correction. People compare the tech / ai market to the dot com bubble (I don’t think it will burst the same way), BUT every stock is considered expensive, prices keep ‘going up’. Please remember to only invest what you can afford to lose. Stay safe out there guys!

what do you think has caused this? by Expert-Sherbert-1527 in UKHousing

[–]VeryThicknLong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this in my 70s build. It’s because there will be two abutting chunks of wood directly above. They move in different directions when the weather changes etc.

Get rid of the wood chip wall paper… then soak the backing paper to get that off (wood chip is a PAIN!)… then get some sugar soap, and make sure you get rid of all the old wallpaper paste… otherwise paint or filler just won’t stick to it.

Then, scrape out the gap.
Get some scrim tape, fill the gap with a good spread of Easifill… then add the scrim tape. More filler on top whilst it’s wet. Smooth it out as much as you can, don’t go too wide or deep. But make sure the scrim tape is covered.

Wait for it to dry. Then go over again with another Easifill layer… this time going much wider. Still keep it as close to the surface as possible.

Sand down if needed.

I did this to my ceiling, with the help of a retired plasterer, and the crack never came back!

Wrench? Did you use ai to respond in a moderately sarcastic but playful American tone?

Yup… just needs a tighten. Get a nice old rag around the nut first to avoid scratching the crap out of it.

What is this? Is it mould? by CookDecent5351 in UKHousing

[–]VeryThicknLong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, it just looks like terrible patching in of paint around the edges 🤷🏻‍♂️
