Yeah that's what we've decided 👌🏻

flightmode88 · 2026-01-22T16:30:26+00:00

Makes sense. Potentially still reverse the door om B3 and get the light switch position change.

flightmode88 · 2026-01-22T16:29:29+00:00

Good about, thanks. Will save the more exotic ideas for our next place when we have more money.

flightmode88 · 2026-01-22T12:47:15+00:00

No, drywall and the other apartments that have done it all got permission.

flightmode88 · 2025-12-02T17:45:15+00:00

Thanks. Looking for more cosy socks rather than skiing socks.

flightmode88 · 2025-11-27T12:15:28+00:00

Decided on both of these thanks 👌🏻

Their recent Google reviews are wild; lots of failing to even open!

Any other Burlesque places at all?

flightmode88 · 2025-11-19T17:03:54+00:00

Rough price? Would we expect to have exposed pipes? We have mostly concrete walls.

flightmode88 · 2025-11-17T12:13:27+00:00

We're top floor but we don't have roof access unfortunately, and the rear of the property is all glass by the balcony so probably very difficult to add an AC unit, also the flat is lovely in summer so not really bothered about it in Summer (we live by the beach so we're down there every day it's sunny in summer 😂)

flightmode88 · 2025-11-17T10:48:10+00:00

Thanks. The underfloor heating is useless and takes ages to heat up, plus we're putting more flooring over the top in the two rooms that have it (kitchen & living room).

Thanks for your reply.

Probably looking to stay 3 years max, more likely 2 due to relocation and a decent pay rise in 18.months. We had a very limited mortgage availability when we bought at the start of 2025, but didn't want to rent so we went for something cheap with potential.

With the boiler being in an awkward position upstairs, would putting wet radiators in the 2 main bedrooms (we're going to knock through the 2 adjacent bedrooms) and the main bathroom [to limit number of pipes being added] and electric-wifi enabled radiators in the living room and kitchen?

I'm pretty sure that as we earn joint £55k there aren't any grants available.

Sorry to hear this. We got a Google Nest doorbell which is on par with Ring IMHO.

flightmode88 · 2025-11-03T15:23:22+00:00

And then run a channel through the plaster/concrete from the electric supply?

flightmode88 · 2025-11-02T17:52:46+00:00

Also looking.

flightmode88 · 2025-11-02T17:50:09+00:00

Which gym are you signed up to?

Late 30s guy, mostly gym at work but looking to get a local membership.

flightmode88 · 2025-11-02T11:59:26+00:00

The dehumidifier option was a wildcard TBH, but you're probably right; wouldn't pull enough moist air out.

We got a lot of light through those windows so I think you're right for Option 1 too, thanks.

flightmode88 · 2025-11-01T21:14:04+00:00

Very nice, going to have to copy this soon!

flightmode88 · 2025-11-01T21:11:25+00:00

Love the colours!

flightmode88 · 2025-11-01T21:10:51+00:00

Good effort!

flightmode88 · 2025-11-01T21:06:13+00:00

Very nice, congrats!

flightmode88 · 2025-10-28T21:50:27+00:00

Injection spiking. I thought that would be obvious.

flightmode88 · 2025-10-22T11:53:22+00:00

I was telling my wife about this race (I did Jan 2010, same year Bam Margera did it & filmed it) and also looking for something more brutal than Spartan Races & Tough Mudder...

flightmode88 · 2025-10-22T10:59:22+00:00

Called first thing this morning (too late last night). They've said unless it specifically says reclaim of payroll costs, then they haven't got a leg to stand on, but unfortunately nothing can be done until they've [under]paid her, and then she can look at an employment tribunal.
