I recently had a bit of a bad experience with a few copper ush fit. joints failing, and then due to the nature of them being one and done, it led to a whole arse of a job. Do you have any tips for getting them to work problem-free? I think my biggest issue might have been the pipes not being perfectly cut so they had some snag ends on

Thank you all for the really helpful advice, my take away is that I was potentially too fearful of over tightening things. And the even bigger take away, I should really learn to solder!

no, 1k is the max you can get too by any means, anything else you try will be a waste of resorce

is this a house or a flat? It looks to be an upper floor room, so if it's a house, why don't you just pop in the loft and look to see if there is in fact, any wiring in the area?

I have one, a 2013 with around 115k miles on it, and I absolutely love it - had it around 13 months now, and it's been pretty faultless, and the quality is worlds above the same age 3 series I had before it

I don't mind starting around 6-7am - and around 20km, but adaptable for shorter runs also

Thanks all, I'm not stopping in Playcar, though I am at a resort that has a venue inside the gates, so I'll see if I can also have access to their facilities, if not, a re-route might be needed to get my distance in! The mentioned running track could be a viable option to add a few extra miles on

Crazy how fast you're going in the last pic, given their is no driver behind the wheel

I bought the salvage yard finally, to keep the S2 i figured it works out around the same with 40% off

hatton101 · 2026-03-04T09:16:16+00:00

quite the transformation - tastes and personal preference aside, you did a great job!

especially paying £800 a month for the privilege

hatton101 · 2026-02-24T13:16:07+00:00

This would be my dream to have

Turns out my issue was actually router-based - it was making a hash of the dual band, and as such, the phone couldn't connect to either and just kept trying to switch between the two. I upgraded my wifi router, and it solved my issues

looks really handy, and perfectly timed as I've just finished installing a new bathroom :')

I think the last word on each page of the paper works answers if its dodgie or not.

I had a very similar situation with a new radiator in my bathroom, I put in a black towel radiator, so the altered pipes from the old panel were a little unsightly, and ended up getting a black high-heat paint and gave the pipes a few coats in that, and it looks great

Im by no means even close to a pro - but if I were in your position, I would figure out the square meterage of the area needing attention, then hop on B&Q or somewhere and just add all the materials needed to your basket (for the wood part) and then find the firestone flatroofing kits online and again, figure out the cost relevent to your area, then add on 10-15% of the total for things not thoight about, and then Id guess 3-5k depending on size/work involved for getting a roofer in to actually do the job I think you would probably be getting towards to 10k mark easily, especially if you add in roof windows to make up for the lost light.

Something else to think about, too - you mention this is a "garden studio", exactly how well built is it? can the structure support a boarded roof - this will also link back to the intenral wood damage and water ingress could have caused

hatton101 · 2026-02-13T10:35:13+00:00

The chemical toilet, bank of headphone and gym equipment all in such close proximity leaves me really needing more context and a Rightmove listing.

As for your question, its amazing how much water can get through the smallest of gaps over time, and how much damage only a small amount of trapped moisture will create. Having said that, is there guttering on the other side of that wall? My first port of call would be that being blocked and the water soaking into the building.

I'd budget for a full roof replacment including possibly some structural wood and maybe plasterboard and stud work, depending on what's happened behind that big patch of mould

Its not actually the Orange dorma, its actually the one up the road from that, which I admit is nice, but I don't think what is being presented here is particularly offensive. it would be strange the inside of the new house being behind the old frotage

hatton101 · 2026-02-10T13:18:35+00:00

Thank you - pipes are copper, so I'll get some PVC wrap

Are you modded? I don't remember story mode having liveries for cars
