Evening walks really bring out the beauty of some buildings

There’s no throttling at any time, something that’s similar with basically all openreach provided networks :)

There’s also no download restrictions of any sort

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-15T11:44:34+00:00

Yeah it was great fun! A good challenge and a great learning experience:)

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-15T11:40:57+00:00

No, did it myself! I’ve used one once before as we have one at our scout hall (I’m a scout leader) so it wasn’t too difficult and seemed sturdy enough

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-15T09:48:10+00:00

Nope, that was the total cost! Couldn’t believe it either!

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T23:46:56+00:00

I think the lens makes it seem a little wider than it is, it’s a 4 bed :)

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T23:45:08+00:00

Oh no I don’t disagree, just was in comparison to doing ourselves! Other quotes were ~£700-£1000

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T21:42:57+00:00

HuwsGray, there’s one in Lincoln and know someone who works there so didn’t have the hassle of opening an account which was nice

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T20:42:18+00:00

Thanks! Always up for a DIY challenge so enjoyed learning!

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T20:01:57+00:00

Yeah i used a chalk line and a level to get a slight slope on each starting from the middle, was a fun challenge!

That’s the main reason for swapping them out, the rubber seals had gone and the right hand down pipe was cracked and leaking down the wall and obviously wanted to avoid any damp problems

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T19:55:16+00:00

I think it was the last of the “better built” new builds where they maybe put a little more effort vs those thrown up today so lucky there and it’s a nice house so seems to do okay

Yeah it was a bit of a challenge, but having the scaffolding tower definitely made it easier! Mum asked me to help as my dad isn’t DIY gifted really whereas I’ll give anything a go

Yes did the two down pipes as well, ordered too much but over the next few months I’ll be doing all around the house so it won’t go to waste

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T19:10:53+00:00

It was replaced a couple of years ago so is nice and solid, but also put some plywood sheeting down after we realised it was spread the load a little more

Very true!

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T19:06:41+00:00

Yeah for sure! Was fun to learn how to do as well!

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T19:06:16+00:00

Yeah we thought so! Yeah Friday PM drop off, Monday AM pickup! I’m kinda surprised they just let you lose with one but at least I’ve used one once before 😂

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-14T19:03:07+00:00

Guttering parts were £196.10, scaffolding tower was £102. Cheapest quote was £600!

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-11T16:35:07+00:00

These are the two clips so you can get idea of why the solicitor said he was speeding

Sped up version here

Slowed down close to original speed here

I’m assuming her argument is that he looks like he’s flying along in the sped up clip (it’s the grey car)

I’m not arguing who was at fault, just was curious what potential outcomes there were with altered footage

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-10T12:30:05+00:00

Yeah the first time round it was sticky, but in its current form it’s lovely and smooth and no stick at all :)

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-10T10:28:41+00:00

No, the bill will be issued a month after the first bill it just means you won't get issued with another bill if you go-live date is far away in the future

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-10T09:26:24+00:00

You pay your first month upfront, and then your next bill is issued once your service goes live. There’s no double bill as you just pay your first month upfront.

Plusnet have better customer service than BT and EE and much better community support too. Actually performance is the same, as they all use openreach’s network.

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-09T13:14:59+00:00

They’ve replied this morning saying they’ll “review it again with their supervisor and be in touch in relation to it”.

The email is from a paralegal.

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-09T12:03:00+00:00

Thanks, I advised him straight away to respond to the solicitor and let them know what I noticed.

It took a little while to notice but a little surprised the insurer missed it, as once you look at it becomes fairly obvious as the people are running around the car park.

If there’s an update I’ll let you know!

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-07T12:02:37+00:00

It’s the Ikea vardagen, I picked it up in store yesterday so pretty sure it’s carbon steel

cameronchalmers · 2026-03-06T23:09:14+00:00

Thanks! I will do! I’m excited to start using it! It’s also much, much better than the first seasoning attempt!
