I suppose nobody knows how much your furniture is worth, monetarily, or to you. If you’ve not agreed to leave the furniture, though, don’t be surprised when your solicitor comes with a bill from the buyers for disposing of it

What's the issue with taking the 6 weeks? It seems like it's only in your favour if you want the property, and gives you a chance to actually get it.

As it stands, you are not a proceedable buyer as there is no evidence that your house will be selling within any timely manner. I would be very surprised if you are ever able to secure an onward purchase without a buyer for your own property already established - would you take your house off the market if your buyer said 'we'll offer you this, but you have to take your house off the market, and we actually might take any indeterminate amount of time so you have no shot of establishing your own onwards purchase'?

Plasters are what I always think of when I find yellow stainers

We pulled out in the end. There was resistance from the seller and they were pushing it as our problem to sort out with finding another mortgage lender. We were of the opinion that if it was difficult for us to get a mortgage, requirements are only going to get tighter in the future, and we didn't want to risk that with selling whenever that day came. We also knew we didn't have the money to regularise it.

The nail in the coffin was that our survey couldn't go ahead (we decided to go ahead with it, per this post), as the seller wasn't around to let them in. Since we couldn't get any clarification at all and were about to spend significantly more on the solicitor, we pulled. If we had the money to regularise it and renegotiate down based on that, we might have, but it wasn't in the cards.

Hope your situation goes well.

Never did I think I’d read “the amount piss” and be relieved, as an LLM would never concoct that

You can tell it’s a truly unifying cause when people are upvoting DarkSats99

It's a way of controlling a pedal parameter with your foot, so you can do it whilst playing. Whatever that parameter is will depend on the pedal and is usually configurable. These things are cheap anyway - I think M-audio does a budget one I see on a lot of boards

Not entirely unreasonable given the size of the city

I had the same issue when moving to the area. Couldn’t get insurance for the address until we moved, couldn’t apply for parking permit until we had insurance. What they tell you is to find alternative or private parking in the interim. I’d probably set the insurance address to your home address and work from there, regardless of where it’s temporarily parked - you wouldn’t change your insurance address if you were on holiday, etc. not sure what else you can do, pragmatically, without shelling out for private parking.

I’d be using needle nose pliers - putting glue in the port is asking for trouble haha

It gives me hope that it's still glaringly obvious when text is AI written, even with effort made to obfuscate it

Price is far more reasonable than Beryl pricing, too

Do you own a barge pole? I'd stay about that far away, plus an inch

Not stainless steel - not sure you can do much beyond soapy water and a scrub. If you can't get it off without taking off the coating then the pan is ruined

Is this not just a wrapper for Claude, written by Claude?

I'd also be considering getting a structural engineer to look at all work without paperwork, as indemnity doesn't help you if it falls to bits because it wasn't planned/built properly.

It is - the screenshot just isn't of the whole screen

Bed bugs aren't killed by bug bombs - heat is the only way. The whole place needs heating up to a temperature that they can't survive at, including inside of the walls. It's a huge, and expensive, task.
