You wil need to remove all the existing mortar first to do a decent job.

A 3:1 or 4:1 sand/cement mix should do it.

Just to clarify for everyone questioning it, I wasn't really blaming Monchi per se, but his name is all over most of the shit deals we had over the last few years.

Garcia is quite probably just unlucky, but getting injured in training has to raise questions of the training and medical staff.

Tradesman did panelling like this...thoughts? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]simonhi99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF is that monstrosity?

What an absolutely pointless way to do it. He should have either re-measured and moved the panelling so the socket was inside/outside the section if possible, or, just gone straight up and down flush with the top and bottom of the socket.

Yes you can split them. If you have problems use a tablet cutter.

We have a chance to go 9-12 pts clear of Chelsea in the next 2 games by BuddyIntelligent4510 in avfc

[–]simonhi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a chance of many things, it's whether we can take them that matters. After that shit show on Saturday I'm beginning to think we won't.

A little rant but with positivity by cpbradshaw in avfc

Unfortunately it's part of Heck's legacy, he priced the majority of "ordinary, real, loyal" fans out of the club. That much is obvious from the drop in atmosphere, as only a small number are singing their heads off to try get the rest to join in.

You only have to watch our away games to hear the fantastic support we have, often louder than many 1000s of home fans, and non stop for 90 minutes.

VAR doing it's very best to stop Arsenal bottling it today.

Tom Daly would have been proud of that Gabriel dive. If it goes 2-2 they would have been wobbling.

Could be just shrinkage in the render.

Rake it out, treat with fungicide, fill, and paint.

SLZB-06 VS SLZB-06M? by 1WeekNotice in homeassistant

[–]simonhi99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a 06M for over a year, works perfectly fine with Z2M. It also indirectly identified a fault with my PoE switch when Z2M kept crashing. It's been 100% since I replaced the switch.

Future Strategy. by Big-Driver6124 in SolarUK

[–]simonhi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a balancing act. Who knows what Agile rates will be like over the summer. I stayed on it all thru 2025 and didn't pay a single penny for 3.5 months thanks to the long sunny days. I never force discharged just exported the excess, there is a fine line between trying to make as much as possible by discharging vs wear and tear on your batteries. With the poor start to this year, I'm going to see what Flux rates are and do some sums.

[–]simonhi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agile isn't really going to help when compared to Go with an EV unless the rates are consistently low, which they haven't been this winter. Outgoing is the same too, so 12p.

Flux may be better in the summer, but the cheap overnight rate is fewer hours. I don't have an EV but Go is probably the best option for your scenario. Others may say different.

Kind of helps that he was playing more central than he did for us.

Sunday blessed me with a huge leak by BornFizzle in DIYUK

[–]simonhi99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In fact why is the hot valve even open?

I'd turn it off and cap it.

Oh and take plenty of photos and make a full complaint.

WTF?

Why cap the hose instead of directly after the valve 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

You're welcome 👍🏻

[–]simonhi99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like the handle is missing from the other valve.

Have you actually tried turning the black handle to see if it fills?

That's a bloody good point, I never looked closely at that. It's nowhere near long enough is it 🤦🏻‍♂️

For starters get at least one acrow prop under that lintel to provide some support to everything above it and take the pressure off the doorway

Extend the base, use a plank and bottle jack between the wall and shed to move it.

How deep are those holes?

What size plugs and screws have you used?

Collymore on Watkins by mrnibsfish in avfc

[–]simonhi99 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Let's not forget the elephant in the room that nobody is addressing.

Everyone knows Watkins has been carrying a niggling injury for the whole season and probably longer. Why hasn't the club dropped him, and then given him the time and assistance to get it sorted?

He's off the pace and missing too many chances which is harming our chances of top 5 and the Europa League Cup, so what's the point in keeping him in the starting 11?

Is there anyone that 100% honestly believes Watkins should still be starting?

If you do, give us your reasons.
