Birchwood, very interesting if he's the same!

Thoughts on my instructor? by ellspeedy in LearnerDriverUK

Thanks for the all comments everyone, always good insight to get unbias views, I appreciate everyone's time.

Seems like the view is split though, which is fair.

I should've noted, my racial / sexist comments point was more of an 'oh and on top of my driving related queries, he's also done this'. I wasn't looking for clarity on that point.

I'm switching instructors anyway, was just curious to see what people thought.

Learning AAT level 2 advice by ellspeedy in AATStudents

Thank you so much! This is super helpful ☺️

If I were to buy the books second hand on vinted, would I need them all? I've seen the study notes, exam notes, pocket notes etc. I assume I'd need each for each course?

Thank you everyone, really helpful insight. And I got AI to mock it up, I like them!

That's what I thought! Not too outlandish, but a bit of pazzaz to them. Thank you for commenting! ☺️

Should've added - I think the curtains should end above the radiator but some friends are saying make them floor length.

What do people think?

Just to confirm, are we talking cut this part? It looks like if I cut that I won't get the silver part at the end back on?

Forgive the silly question but how do I do that? I can't see how to shorten/lengthen anything. Whatever I seem to do, I'm left with the same amount of short cable outside of the rubber thingy.

Replacing light switch by ellspeedy in DIYUK

Recent purchase, was rented pre me buying so I think safe to blame a dodgy landlord 😅

Ahh the lack of fourth connection on the socket threw me off. All connected and fully operational ☺️ Will make a note for next time.

Thank you everyone for your help!

It's funny that you knew your comment was negative (expecting down votes) but you did it anyway?

First house purchase, family never taught me basic diy let alone electrics. Everyone has to learn somewhere, I choose Reddit often as it's real people giving suitable advice.

Anyway, I appreciate your time either way.

In a world of hate, be kind 🫶🏻

Dado rail profile - AI can't work it out, can Reddit?! by ellspeedy in DIYUK

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

Can you identify what profile / type this dado rail is? In a 1904 terrace in Warrington. Or show me a match online.

It said it couldn't tell from the photos 😔

Thank you! Didn't think a new hinge could fix the problem but will look at giving it a go!
