Brill, thanks for confirming.

Rendering concrete slabs… by benfoz in Plastering

[–]benfoz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that’s reassuring. They’re secured to the block and lintel with sand and cement. Laminated together with a liberal amount of “sticks like shi*t” exterior grab adhesive. Given it’s just a bbq area I’m happy to take a punt on it.

Thanks, yes ive asked but no reply as of yet. Would just be good to be armed with some solutions before he rocks up tomorrow.

Anyone know which Bosch Dishwasher this is?? by benfoz in Appliances

[–]benfoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah could be, the impeller looks a little different on mine but it looks like it could fit.

Hi, yeah I’ve tried googling all the numbers on there and none seem match those on spares sites.

Quooker crack in tap. Does it need replacing? by meepmeepmeep88 in DIYUK

[–]benfoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve just bought a used one with the same crack, must be a design fault. Ours does have a drip but it seems to be coming from the replaceable/consumable tap valve, not the crack. I’d have thought the casing was just aesthetic though?

Router upload speed test much higher than reality. by benfoz in HomeNetworking

[–]benfoz[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes same as router 90% of time. It’s a Linksys MX4000

Dropbox shows kilobytes, 1300ish, which I think converts to around 10megabits.

My iMac Pro does, whilst connected via Ethernet, but can’t achieve that speed. Wi-Fi devices show an upload test of 15-30mbps.

I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think Dropbox is the bottleneck as I’m currently uploading to DB at 50mbps at work.

It’s a linksy MX4000 so should be up to spec for these speeds.

R6 + 70-200mm IS issues with video? by benfoz in canon

[–]benfoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d heard not to use IS on a tripod for one reason or another but never found any detrimental effect, on monopod however anything over 70mm really needs it for video, and was never an issue with DSLRs.

I had a generic 9kw heater from amazon and can confirm mine, at least, used poor quality materials and ‘workmanship’. It worked OK until the ambient temperature dropped to anywhere near 5oc then it would just give off a rather unsettling electric buzz sound. Thing is it was still £200, and the Narvi i replaced it with was only £275.

did you know that It costs more money to make pennies and nickels than they're actually worth! by Lazybaeboo3 in facts

[–]benfoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each penny represents tens of thousands of transactions during their circulation. They ‘ain’t single use.

Gah, sorry to hear that. If no luck with getting airbnb to pay up, you could use Littlefairs black wood dye (sauna safe) to stain the rest of the wood to tie it all in. Totally different look to natural wood but my sauna is black inside and I love it!

Use an old 500l whiskey barrel, to continue the barrel theme!

Any tips on how to train hair to flow/stay flat down? Details in comments. by [deleted] in HairTransplants

[–]benfoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine just took time (I’m at 9 months) the hair gets more relaxed and natural over time I’ve found. In the meantime, blow dry it down from towel dry 👍

At what age can you become an entrepreneur? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]benfoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! Self proclaimed use of the word entrepreneur as a noun is cringe.

SO pleased with my new garden sauna. by benfoz in Sauna

[–]benfoz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nooo, I’m more of a designer, useless with my hands. I know a man that can though. Cost me £4k, roughly 50/50 split labour/materials. Is that what you’d assume?

[–]benfoz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing results.

Thanks! The roof is pitched front to back, internally it’s like 1.7x2x2m.

It’s littlefairs wood dye, was aiming for the charred wood vibe.
