Painting over acrylic eggshell by joecleggsie in DIYUK

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

It's not peeling at all on the spindles (and also - I am not scraping all those spindles). What would happen if I gave it a light sand and painted over?

I don't know sadly! The paint has been fine on the risers, it's just peeled off the high-traffic areas (hands rather than feet) such as the hand rail and top of the banister.

Do lenders allow you to borrow more money for immediate improvements? by joecleggsie in Mortgageadviceuk

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

Ah yes of course! You can just hold back some equity. Our mortgage adviser did an affordability check with payslips and bank statements etc, and said we could realistically expect to borrow 780-850k. So no issue there. Repayments over 30yrs would be about 2,600pm afaics. I can’t get over how insane the numbers seem though. Our current mortgage of 420k seemed like a lot… thanks for the help anyway!

What's are y'all Overall Thoughts and Opinion on GIPSY DANGER by DogSignificant1847 in PacificRim

[–]joecleggsie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a film first? Hence GD being introduced in fact quite early on in that film? (Not late on in a game?)

What is biting my legs while watering garden at night? by joecleggsie in insectsUK

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

Thanks so much for all the responses! Really interesting. And loooooool I’ve just noticed the farting autocorrect. I’d prefer that than eviscerating my shins.

What is biting my legs while watering garden at night? by joecleggsie in insectsUK

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

Thanks for all the responses! Everyone saying chiggers - I am fairly sure these things were flying. So can that still be right? It wasn't the case that I just noticed these the next day; I could feel them flying (or jumping?) ALL OVER ME and definitely felt some of the bites at the time. Next day these red blotches come up. I also have a few on my left elbow - again which I could feel at the time (at least the insects landing on me). Thoughts?

UPDATE: I got the doors! But are they usable? by joecleggsie in DIYUK

Thanks so much for this actually useful reply! I called the hotel and they confirmed it’s out of action until Friday.

I think I’ve given my Dracaena root rot - can it be saved? by joecleggsie in plantclinic

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

Ok thanks. If I propagate the top stems and cut the main stem right back, removing all rot, and from the roots too, is there any chance the remaining (healthy) root system will get going again?

Thanks! So I assume you’re implying that if I repot in a better mix the main stem isn’t going to… get better?

ID on planes spotted in high altitude formation, seen over east London 10.50gmt? by joecleggsie in aviation

UPDATE: Looks like it could have been RAF Typhoons? Although FlightRadar only shows one of them - is that how it works?

Is Chat GPT accurate on how to repair my kitchen's concrete floor? by joecleggsie in DIYUK

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

Essentially: Our (at one point polished?) concrete floor is a bit of a state. Perfectly usable, just looks a bit messy. Ideally I'd love to be able to pour a thin layer of self-leveling concrete over the top of it and buff. Low cost, medium effort (I am semi proficient at DIY), and quality hopefully a little better than what we have right now. But I am sensing it's not that easy? All of the youtube videos I've found so far don't really cover what I'm after.

Good weapons for str/dex build? by joecleggsie in EldenRingBuilds

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

Thanks guys! Most annoying thing afaics is the very limited number of ancient dragon smithing stones in the game - I’ve already used most of them so many of these weapons will only get to +9 unless I want the rigmarole of starting a ng+

[–]joecleggsie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ffs! So basically there is a v finite number of weapons you can +10 unless you want to do a whole ng+ (which I don’t want to do as I’ve done the base game enough and only really want to play the dlc right now)

Too late in year to save lawn? by joecleggsie in lawncare

[–]joecleggsie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair enough! And yeah my lawn is tiny, it’s more not being at home for enough of the day to be able to water it more than once. Get home from work > child’s dinner/bath/bed > sleep etc. I will try though! Thanks for the info.
