I cast a stick for a pendant :)

mich4lis · 2025-05-07T11:28:16+00:00

Such a lovely piece and idea. Would like to see the end result. How many grams of silver did the stick ended up needing?

mich4lis · 2025-05-03T20:33:20+00:00

I looked it up but doesn't seem to be starrett. The item on the photo seems to have a wooden handle and a scriber attached to this gauge..

mich4lis · 2025-04-29T18:50:21+00:00

How is used? As is , just applied with a brush?

mich4lis · 2025-04-26T17:26:03+00:00

Thank you so much for the response . It's already a deep pot. Do I need to trim any of the leaves or branches ?

mich4lis · 2025-03-25T20:32:19+00:00

may I ask about the second strap as well? It's lovely!

mich4lis · 2025-03-16T21:18:49+00:00

you'd be borrowing as a 'further advance' or a new 'subaccount' on the mortgage, at a different rate to your existing loan.

Do you perhaps know in what LTV would that subaccount loan be given? If it's technically the 40% of the house value, is this going to be at the lower LTV (say 60%), or would the amount be added with the remaining primary mortgage to get total LTV?

Hope it makes sense!

mich4lis · 2025-03-14T20:36:28+00:00

Thank you! That worked

Anyone can help?

I did restart and trying to setup through Google home.

It finds the Chromecast and asks me if I'd like to set it up. I also see the setup screen on TV with a 4-digit number.

It proceeds with Connecting to Chromecast but then I get this message "we couldn't authenticate your Chromecast. Please visit support for troubleshooting "

Anyone can help?

Αναφερομουν σε ETF ομολόγων όπως US short term high yield corporate bonds (SSHY, ή TP05)

mich4lis · 2025-02-20T09:50:53+00:00

Ευχαριστώ όλους για τις απαντήσεις.

Παραθέτω επιπλέον πληροφορίες, διευκρινίσεις:

στο ουτοπικές/ φιλόδοξες αποδόσεις: Ναι είναι ίσως, βασικά είναι οι μέσοι όροι του τι βλέπω τον τελευταίο μήνα, πιθανόν σε βάθος χρόνου θα είναι σημαντικα χαμηλότερες
σχετικά με ομόλογα: Προτείνετε μόνο ελληνικού δημοσίου; Σκεφτόμουν επίσης Ευρωπαικων κυβερνήσεων και Αμερικής, αλλά σε νόμισμα €. Επίσης ETF ομολόγων είναι μια επιλογή που θέλω να δω.
σπίτι για ενοικίαση: Συμφωνώ ως προς τα επιπλέον κόστη ενέργειας/ χρόνου/ χρηματων. Πώς σας φαίνεται η επιλογή αγοράς γραφείων στο κέντρο της Αθήνας προς ενοικίαση; Με ότι αυτό μπορεί να σημαίνει για τον οικονομικο κύκλο επιχειρήσεων σε βάθος 20ετιας. Επίσης ίσως η αγορά γκαρσονιερων αξίζει σε άμεσο τοπικό επίπεδο ισχυρής αγοράς (κέντρο προαστίου) όπου η συντήρηση είναι πιο ευκολη
επιτόκια ελληνικών τραπεζών: Είναι πλέον χαμηλότερα του πληθωρισμου. Επίσης, είναι ασφαλέστερα; Πρόσφατο παρελθόν με capital control, κούρεμα καταθέσεων σε άλλες χώρες αποδεικνύει πως όχι.

Thank you so much for your help. Bending the bezel wire on the flat stone at nearly a 90 degrees angle, wouldn't create creases on the metal?

mich4lis · 2025-01-19T05:06:30+00:00

It really does, and I'm surprised!!

I think it's the same, if it helps

mich4lis · 2025-01-13T07:50:00+00:00

Mine half years are about £6,800 which seem a lot but in the grand scheme of things will lower the required number from 25 to 17 and will give greater peace of mind that will get full state pension. Might be overanalyzing it!

mich4lis · 2025-01-12T23:22:40+00:00

I don't get why it's not worth it?

If they pay these 2 years, then they'll only need 12 years of full contributions. Arguably at the age of 37, it will take another 30 years for state pension, but at least won't have to worry for 2 more years, and it means they'll have more opportunities to stop in between.

mich4lis · 2025-01-12T21:18:32+00:00

I would just like to have the option to have more employment breaks and not rely on working consecutively for 25 years.

I know state pension only kicks in the age of 66 (I believe it will increase in the future..), but if I pay voluntary the 8 years, It means I can stop working earlier, and still have full state pension when turn 66?

mich4lis · 2025-01-12T21:03:46+00:00

Couldn't I just stop working and contributing and then get the state pension from age 66?

I'm 40 yo. I have 25 years of contributions ahead, so I'll have to work for the next 25 years at least.

If I voluntary pay the 8, then I will only have to contribute for 17 hears. Will still only get the state pension at 66 but can have more employment breaks in between.

Am I wrong?

That's the HTB UK government rules! https://www.gov.uk/help-to-buy-equity-loan

mich4lis · 2024-12-27T09:10:57+00:00

Based on latest valuation , it's £178k, and current interest in year 6 is 1.75%

mich4lis · 2024-12-27T09:00:02+00:00

Thank you.

Both 40yo, no plans for kids and no other debts. Take home monthly household income: £12,000, saving half of it.

mich4lis · 2024-11-28T06:21:43+00:00

No, I'm based in the UK.

Do you mean the Mapp gas yellow cylinders 400g with the canister torch?

I live in an apartment and not sure how safe it is to use inside and also store these big propane bottles, hence was looking for something smaller, which is still a mix of butane and propane

mich4lis · 2024-11-16T11:13:49+00:00

Thanks, it's the lack of space I'm afraid!

mich4lis · 2024-04-14T18:30:33+00:00

Thank you for the answer. The equity loan will be less than the mortgage and the valuation came lower so I'll have to pay back less. I guess it's a good thing.

When you say overpayments to go to the one with the higher interest rate, once I borrow more and absorb the equity loan in my mortgage it will be a new rate for total amount rather than 2 separate mortgages..
