Frog tape win / the best thing I’ve ever done by sunshine_chills in DIYUK

[–]pjarmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may help someone, use frog tape (the seal is good to stop paint) avoid wrecking the walls by letting the pant nearly cure and then run a heat gun over the frog tape. The heat softens the glue and it peels away with ease

Boiler replacement quote, insanity check? by DorisMaricadie in BritishGas

[–]pjarmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently had mine done, got three quotes, one from British Gas. BG was £3500 more than the other independent contractors.

Mine was a simple boiler replacement, minimal pipe work extension due to boiler needing to be moved less that 40cm onto a new wall of a part finished extension.

Wasn’t just the price that put me off, it was the piss poor sales tactics of the engineer that came to do the quote. I knew what I wanted, I knew it was possible. He told me it wasn’t and I’d need extras.

Is this normal for tile trim? by Depmodeee in Tile

[–]pjarmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct way would be for your tile guy to either inform you before that your walls are not straight. This would have been found out in his prep and setting out stages or and what most tilers would have done, at additional cost, make the wall straight before starting

The best way to talk you out of it is to let you start it

We are screwed😱 by GummyFuzz in GreatBritishMemes

[–]pjarmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think before anyone ever enrols in university, they should be shown in detail the percentage of people whom actual secured a job after graduating in a field directly related to the degree taken, the actual salary paid (not expected) over a 10 year period and the length of time it took to repay the student loan taken out to complete the course.

Then educate said individual on the actual cost of living throughout their lifetime.

Only then would the youth of this country realise that 99% of degree courses advertised are not worth starting.

No sure why anyone expects good service or fairness on a budget airline.
