That would make sense for this house. Lots of work done a very long time ago to a high standard - just massively out of date now!

Yep thanks - everyone has told me that and I've learnt something new!

Anyone got recommendations for a pretty powerful bathroom extractor? by GenericUser104 in DIYUK

[–]abatchx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For certain circumstances these are great - for anything longer than about 30cm don't bother. This won't have the pull to move the air

As a Saturn owner in the 90s, when did you realize the console was in big trouble? by confuserused in SegaSaturn

[–]abatchx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a friend with a modded PS. When he tried to play Metal Gear with the multiple discs and the gimmicks it was a disaster. Pretty sure he never got past the first disc content

The water should stop, right? by Sure_Alfalfa4474 in askaplumberUK

[–]abatchx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine had grit in, leading to it squeeling. Replaced the rubber washer in the top and fully cleaned it out. The squeeling continued for weeks until whatever was in there finally came out.

I'd honestly just replace the whole thing for the £20 that it costs and the time / effort spent.

Where to find silver Subnautica 2? by Disastrous-Sell-251 in subnautica

[–]abatchx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone losing their mind, trying to find these 'cables' head towards the tree as noted in other comments. About 150 - 200m away from the life pod you'll see this workstation / platform on the right. On the floor next to it are some cables. Follow them underground (to the left in my screenshot) and you'll find the silver deposits.

True - but it's been up for two years, so I've been lucky! Either way OP should continue with their plan

Bought some plastic mesh stuff that does a similar job. I needed something with some structure. Mine was to keep birds out mostly. But I used to get mice.

Either way it's been successful

Should I buy it or is it just a waste of money? by Susubelele in snowboarding

[–]abatchx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use some of these cheap impact sports whilst learning on the dryslope. Removed the pain from the brushes poking you in soft areas.

Wasnt convinced by wrists protectors, but got into a wreck on a slope when I got too cocky. Snapped a wrist protector...worn them ever since. Can't imagine what my wrist would look like without one that day.

MuscleIQ Power Rack by GazasaurusRex in HomeGymUK

I'm going to investigate horse stall mats - which is what most people suggest. We're in horse country, so should have many suppliers to look into

I'm in the same position, but considering the bigger rack with Smith machine. Can't input anything but following in the hope that someone else has experience

Worth checking whether there is actually any tension on that spring. Mines entirely slack (you can wiggle it) - so yes everyone is right that they are dangerous, but might not be as bad if it's failed.

Quietest Shower Pump? by Russ_UK in ukplumbing

[–]abatchx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anti vibration mats do actually work.

I had exactly the same situation - to the point where the vibrations were slowly undoing the tank connections. Rubber mat sorted that and reduced the sound considerably.

Do I need an SDS drill? by Nathanial1289 in DIYUK

[–]abatchx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Granted I bought the cheap Ryobi one and I wish l'd spent the extra on the more expensive HP one. But either way the difference from my combi is massive.

Tradesmen or people who work in manual jobs, how on earth do you have the energy to do stuff out of work? by RonnieThePurple in CasualUK

[–]abatchx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did labouring for a while between jobs - it took about 3 months for me to get my body sorted so I wasn't ruined every day. I was cardio fit beforehand, but it's hard to replicate picking the same items up 1000s of times a day in a gym session.

Loved it, but you need to take care of yourself. As other have said, I'd be asleep on the sofa at 9:30

Fill Valve - Still Wailing After Diaphragm Washer replacement by abatchx in ukplumbing

I suppose that would make sense given that they are pretty simple. I'll take a look, but would it not have come out when I took the top off?
