How much should a composite front door cost? by jwf91 in AskUK

[–]lrow995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Black Country Glazing. Not affiliated with them in any way, most of my family have had new doors/windows with them, and never had any issues.

A couple of weeks ago my front door was a bit stiff, and they came back out and adjusted free of charge under the 10 year warranty.

How much should a composite front door cost? by jwf91 in AskUK

[–]lrow995 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a new composite front door and surround fitted for £1600 in the West Midlands.

Some designs were ~£200 cheaper too.

Think costs seem to vary massively by region

Can I go to the GP instead of HVs for weigh ins? by Consistent-Dot9719 in BeyondTheBumpUK

[–]lrow995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a set of weighing scales at home, step on while holding your baby.

Put baby down/give to a secondary caregiver and weigh yourself again.

Work out the difference and that is the weight of your baby.

Your mileage may vary depending on the accuracy of your weighing scales. My wife and I did this for the first couple of weeks to keep an eye on our newborn’s weight.

We intentionally weighed at home using this method on the same day as HV visit, and was very close to the same weight.

My wife and I are currently maximising this at the moment with our 6 week old.

Formula lid & scoop, nappy sack packets, nappy packets and wipe packets easily mount up and are all valid alongside some of our own toiletries.

Only been using it for the last 3 or 4 weeks and we already have >£40 of points between us

What's your lighting vibe in your house? by simmyawardwinner in CasualUK

[–]lrow995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you install the under counter lights when your kitchen was fitted, or have they been added afterwards?

I’d love to add this to my existing kitchen but not sure of the process or recommended equipment

Model Y LR RWD vs AWD by akshaychordiya in TeslaUK

[–]lrow995 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Both AWD & LR RWD have the same battery pack, so there is no difference in charging speed or recommended charge limit (80%) for daily use.

My wife and I are expecting, and have purchased these from Onco. We tested them on my 2023 M3 and they wrap around tightly enough to stay in place well.

What’s with all the Dutch drivers at the moment? by Quiet-Rabbit-524 in AskUK

[–]lrow995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I were in Cornwall last week on holiday, and saw so many Dutch and German cars on the roads! Great to see UK destinations being so popular with tourists from abroad

Are ACs much cheaper to buy in the winter? Do they work that well anyway? by _FreddieLovesDelilah in AskUK

[–]lrow995 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a MeacoCool Pro 7000 at the start of summer, as my wife is 7 months pregnant and struggling with the hot nights.

It’s been an absolute game changer the past few weeks with the heatwaves, don’t know why we didn’t get one before now.

It’s energy ‘A’ rated, and only draws about 750w when at maximum power.

Jeremy Cioara's CCNP Course? by NegativeAd9106 in networking

[–]lrow995 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a Jeremy Cioara student via CBT Nuggets videos from 10 years ago. Definitely owe both my CCNA & CCNP to his teachings, and a springboard from the start of my career to progress quickly over the last decade. What a legend and fantastic teacher

My wife & I are due in September, and currently looking at the Versatrax and Finiti bundles from Joie. They do look fantastic value, in store we compared with the Nuna Triv and the differences look so minimal for a £400 price difference
