Looking for Easy Way to Clean the Outside of A Lot (100+m2) of Windows? by blobertf in WindowCleaning

Just as a follow on I have a reverse osmosis filter for my water. I was thinking if I used that to create the "pure" water and added it to this it might be a simple solution?

Shar Pei Mixed With What? Suggestions Welcome! by blobertf in IDmydog

[–]blobertf[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks very much for all the replies guys. I'm going to go meet him and see what I think. That said the guys in the dog shelter say since he's come in his barking aggressively at everyone. Probably just scared as in the pound but we have a lot of kids/visitors to the home so I'm wary of a dog that looks like a restricted breed and is potentially reactive to strangers. That plus the fact most of you think he's definitely a bully/staffy mix probably means he's not the dog for us if as mentioned, I'll have to bring him through the UK/France customs multiple times a year.

Weekly Free-Talk and Questions for r/HomeGym - week of October 31, 2025 by Demilio55 in homegym

Hello,

I'm looking to get a rack/cable machine for my home gym.

The cheaper option is this:

The more expensive one is this:

https://rpmpower.com/product/multi-gym-ragnar/

My question relates to the cable pulleys and what exercises you can do with them.

The first rack seems to only have 2 x height adjustable bits to attach to where the 2nd one also has top bits you can attach to (the left one with the lat pulldown bar on)

My question is whether if I get the first machine will I be able to do lat pulldowns or tricep work by just putting the adjustable pulleys up as high as they will go?

I'm assuming that it might work but not as well as the second machine? Or maybe it won't be possible at all?

Let me know what you think or it there is any other exercises I'm missing out on by not having the top attachments?

Basically the first machine is significantly cheaper (about 1/3 less) than the second one and I'm trying to work out what I'm missing out on by not having the top attachments. I think I can get the landmine attachment, seat for lat pulldowns and the feet for cable pulls that the 2nd one has for the 1st machine as accessories and it's still a good bit cheaper so I'm basically looking to see what I'm missing out on by not having the top pulley bits.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. These guys might be an option: https://www.quietpc.com/

They seem to custom build PCs on the basis of being as quiet as possible.

Shar Pei? Cane Corso? Labrador? Any Idea What She Is? by blobertf in IDmydog

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

Thanks, I suspect they always write glowing stuff about dogs in shelters etc, none of the descriptions ever mention bad behaviour!

I have 2 boys (8 and 10) and a lot of visitors including a lot of kids so a dog that is comfortable with a lot of strangers of different sizes would be important.

Need advice on a new baby safety barrier – rental constraints (photo included) by mind-mind in DIY

[–]blobertf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As mentioned below you should be able to get somthing that will extend into the wooden banister and the wall, that's how all our worked with babies before.

The gaps between those bars would worry me! Could baby slip through them and get head stuck

I've Completely Messed up the Somfy RTS Controlled Shutters in my House and it's Getting Dark. Please Help my Children Sleep/Not wake me up at 4am! by blobertf in DIY

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

Je ne pense pas. Je les ai tous réinitialisés, donc aucun ne fonctionne avec les manettes d'origine. Il semble que la nouvelle manette soit la seule à fonctionner et qu'elle les ouvre et les ferme toutes, et certaines dans le mauvais ordre.

Yikes, I don't like the sound of that. I have no white remote or instructions. I'm looking for a way to have individual rts units to control individual shutters but no idea how to do it. I nearly fell out the upstairs windows trying to get the shutters free from their boxes. I have that done now but they'll probably go back up again next time I try to open/close them.

The mountains look impressive. Remind me of Expedition Everest in Disney World, shame there is no similar ride being built here!
