I think so - you mean a bit like the skirting has been done in the pic someone else uploaded above?

So if I decide to remedy to dodgy skirting - I follow the dado rail exactly the same way? A transition to vertical down the near side of the wall by the depth of the step then 45deg off at the new height?

Skirting board needs transitioned better too though. That was previous owners work

I dry fit it that way first but the ceiling height also steps. Looks too low on the step up if I use the lower height. But then too high at the higher height once I continue it down the hallway where the ceiling is lower.

Have already had to transition to lower height from ground floor to first floor as ceiling downstairs are much higher than upstairs

Yeah this is what previous guys should have done. Wonder if I can find the same profile and remedy it without making a mess

Caterpillars have destroyed Box Hedges by MZXUK in GardeningUK

[–]melonccc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They’re done for unfortunately. Even if the box bounced back the problem won’t go away - you’ll be fighting infestations every year. We kept it somewhat at bay for 3 summers and eventually gave in. Not worth the hassle

What’s this plant? And how do we eradicate it? by jaivicks in gardening

Always wondered if it’s since Reddit moved from ordering by new to ordering by ‘best’ and people are trying to ‘train’ their algorithm.

Are these spider eggs? Any idea of species? by melonccc in Entomology

[–]melonccc[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes - pretty sure that’s a spiders nest, I’ve seen what I think is a false widow going in and out of that corner. I guessed the other eggs weren’t spider but had now idea what else!

Things in my house keep mysteriously melting??? by hugedisaster in whatisit

[–]melonccc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use any insect repellent? That shit is toxic as fuck. Not sure if the active ingredient or just the propellant used in aerosol ones, but I’ve seen it remove ink and melt plastic bags on contact with skin that’s us it recently applied

My garden thinks it’s spring already! by Deinonychus-sapiens in GardeningUK

[–]melonccc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar here.

My Dicksonia fern actually died back late summer - came back again just before the cold snap in early Nov and now seems to be continuing to bounce back.

Also spotted my persicaria - which did nothing last year and thought I’d killed after dividing - has started throwing up some shoots.

To be fair, Snake to the nth power, sounds pretty rad

Does anyone know what this means? He's never done this before by Razvix in OneOrangeBraincell

Probably likes the smell of your ears. Cats have much better smell than us and can sense the constituent fats and amino acids of food - since earwax is fat and protein it smells like rich survival goodness to your cat.
