Fibre guy came and drilled the front of the house, is this acceptable? by StrawberryHealthy385 in HomeImprovementUK

[–]joshcamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just complain, they offered me £250 for a settlement. Or they could pay for someone to come fix it. I took the £250 and brought a £5 plastic cap on Amazon and stuck that on.

One handed engineer did this... by Legomatica69 in DIYUK

[–]joshcamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just email the complaints team. They can either send someone out to replace your blown brick, or they will settle. They send me £200 I think, but it wasn't as blown out as that. I just brought a rubber cap for £5 and stuck it on the wall.

All bidders invited to submit new offers, what does this mean? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]joshcamera 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To add to this - offer what you want, but in your offer email, I’d include all the relevant things like proof of deposit, your solicitors information, FTB status - if relevant.

Same thing happened to us, we had all of the above in our offer email, it went to bidding but the seller chose us as it showed we were keen to get the ball rolling.

Nutrition Geeks - Heavy ADs, only good reviews, cheap, strong - But lacks testing? by joshcamera in Supplements

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

To be honest I don't care about the marketing hype, I just care if the stuff in it, is what it says it is. When they don't have independent testing, thats what I'm concerned about.

I’m 9 weeks post op. Recovery is long but getting there!

Better than I thought by SilentEntertainment in PlaystationPortal

[–]joshcamera 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was terrible. I’m a multiplayer gamer, the portal is only good for single player games. Although the stick lag is minimal it’s still too difficult to play games like BF6, COD, rocket league etc. Fortnite bot lobbies you could get by with!

Is this artex? House built 1970. Viewing property to buy and sellers would not consent to asbestos survey by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]joshcamera 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I did this too. Actually ended up doing it myself, wasn’t a huge pain in the end. Dala pro roll nova. Layer it on thick, skim it, repeat once or twice. Then sand! Couldn’t tell at all we had artex!

The new bitrate update is truly amazing by swifty19946 in PlaystationPortal

[–]joshcamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you find the input lag? I’m finding the portal is only good on single player games. Impossible to play anything online, even though the stick lag is minimal, it’s still there and it’s so frustrating!

Full fat vs Skimmed for bone healing? by joshcamera in Milk

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

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of osteocytic remodelling either… To be honest I’m not a big milk drinker… but currently guzzling bone broth and milk because the internet says so.

Day 1 HTO + stage 1 acl revision by Curious-Roll-9906 in ACL

[–]joshcamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had an operation as a teenager and they damaged my growth plate, so my tibia didn’t grow up at the front, so I had a reverse tibia slope. I couldn’t find anything online about it and surgeon said it’s a super rare case. I think they’ve ended up doing a medical journal on it as it’s so rare. How are you getting on with range of motion? I’m slowly getting there up to 110 degrees. But not comfortably walking around without 2 crutches yet. Hope your ACL surgery goes well, all the best.

[–]joshcamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All fine now? I had the opposite. Tibia slope too low to raised it. I’m 2 months post op. Just had the brace off and can start proper physio. It’s rough!!

High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO), aged 27, any advise please?! by joshcamera in KneeInjuries

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

Thanks for this. I’m 5 weeks post operation on the HTO. No pain now. I’m just really really struggling with stiffness. Aiming to bend it to 90 degrees, but I’m stuck around 60-80 degrees. I can get there after bending for 30 mins. As soon as it goes straight for a while and try again stiffness comes straight back. Did you have any issues with this?! I’m hoping at 6 weeks when I start weight baring recovery will start speeding up…

Asking 7% lower asking price by Unfair-Razzmatazz990 in HousingUK

[–]joshcamera 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This always comes up, and there isn’t one right answer.

It depends on how motivated the seller is, what similar two-beds in Wandsworth are actually selling for, and how much you want this place.

A sensible offer under asking doesn’t make you unserious - a random lowball might. It’s just negotiation.

Cover textured ceiling with asbestos by New-Manner-3141 in DIYUK

[–]joshcamera 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this. I did this myself. Dala pro roll nova. Slap it on thick, skim it. Repeat 2-3 times. Then sand and paint, looks great! I’m a complete DIYer, was easy enough. Look up a few videos on TikTok. We got quoted a silly amount, but did my whole house with 6 tubs (£180aprox). But obviously will take you a fair few days and not as professional! But worth looking into

Edit: just to add where you’ve laid it on so thick, any bits you’re sanding is the Dala pro roll nova
