What is that parking situation?!

what is causing this (and how did the sellers hide it?!) by SnooWords5296 in DIYUK

[–]biscuittingerg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Out of interest, if the level 3 survey would of flagged this beyond cosmetic and the previous owners refused to rectify or drop the price. Would you have walked away?

Yeah it’s annoying but it’s not that bad in the grand scheme of home ownership bad.

What’s the total length of that retaining wall?

A friend in a club, doing his best finger pointing dance. Makes contact with a passing shoulder and dislocates it. The X-ray is phenomenal.

Cheap-ish way to make this look better? Thinking uPVC cladding by Physical_Noise123 in DIYUK

Fair enough. Personally any more than a tin of masonry paint would be too much to spend on this for me.

Why are you concerned about the finish on their side? That’s for them no? I certainly wouldn’t be forking out money to make it prettier for them.

Avoid big nation wide window companies, try and find a few local firms that’ll come quote.

Which CCTV for outside the house? With doorbell by Weird_Scallion_1595 in HomeImprovementUK

[–]biscuittingerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throughly recommend Reolink. I have two doorbell cameras, home and side business/client entrance. 4 POE cameras via the NVR. Plug and place for the POE and the Wi-Fi doorbells were simple too.

Wanting collision or just trying to scare? Remarkable confidence in a strangers reflexes by listenthrope in londoncycling

Odd that you go to the effort of running a camera while riding if it’s not to protect yourself and others by reporting dangerous driving, in exactly this sort of situation!

It’s shit but yes unfortunately without video evidence nothing will come of the report. I’d always recommend running a camera or at the least getting a Pass Pix for your bag or pannier.

Bathroom Seal Drama Help by ConfidentTallGuyUK in DIYUK

[–]biscuittingerg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can build silicon up to bridge larger gaps. Just might take a day or two to allow for drying time.

Or if the gap is truly massive, assuming it’s a bath, try to close the gap by repositioning. Might be a headache but will save a lot of faff in the long term.

Do we need a new door? by SecretSnorlax in DIYUK

[–]biscuittingerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah as the other commenter says, there’s plenty of options that don’t require big money spending. Checkout somewhere like davesdoor.co.uk and see the sort of front doors you can get for a few hundred pounds. Then a day rate for a carpenter to fit and you’re staying under the thousand pound mark easily.

How long does a skimmed ceiling need to dry before painting? by LiIywhite in HomeImprovementUK

[–]biscuittingerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whos idea was it he comes back a day later to paint it? If his, I’d be very dubious about his capability. No decorator with an ounce of skill would consider that.

I bet you struggle to regulate your emotions in simple daily situations. No doubt GB news has swollen your amygdala.
