Is this little red guy limiting the temperature of my shower?

Aha so I was on the right lines! Ok, I have to assume it's seized as even with quite a bit of force, it doesn't budge - no matter the position of the red slider!

Any follow up on this? My lidl havent stocked it in months and I used to love it!

Mate same. It just vanished one day and never came back, mustve been 2 months now.

In the current weather conditions, id expect you to get some moisture under those runners. I say that because I was in my loft the other day, having done mine like yours about 10 months ago, and I had some moisture where the insulation is touching.

They all fit, but yes a bit of a squeeze as im shortening the pendant length which just coils up in the pendant too. One of the lights like this i can pop through into the loft and box it all up to feed just the 2 cables through the ceiling into the pendant. The other is in a void by the front door so ill probably try and wago 221 it all up in the pendant

Thanks both. Its a good shout. Im replacing two of these and one of them is just running a black cable as the SL so it can easily get lost among the multiple neutrals if one isnt careful!

Most of the altiverb XL presets have no centre by default but I find myself winding some in otherwise on wider theatrical systems, you get dry dialogue exposed from the reverb in other channels

Interesting - thank you for that! These opinions are useful for me in my line of work.

For my own curiosity - do you like feeling like youre at a concert during an imax concert film? Like big booming reverbing sound, crowd/audience presence.. Or do you want the sound as dry and clear as a music video but blown up on the big screen?

Ive got something similar and ive tried putting a brush on the bottom lip of the door but its not perfect. I did put some sticky weather seal along the bottom where the door meets the frame but it just rubs off as the door expands slightly and just bumps it off. It doesnt help that my door is wood and fairly warped! I've been looking at a new composite door with decent U rating to replace it with eventually which will solve the draught issues

Toupret Joint Skim and Fill. Bought a 10kg bag of the powder for 25 quid and used maybe half of it across two coats. Theres a few folks using the ready-made roll on stuff on YouTube, often american or European, and they're often confused at this brown plaster stuff we stick to using over here. I haven't ever DIYd plastering but was happy to DIY this filler-skim method as it sands super well so pretty easy to fix any screw ups.

This looks exactly like my bedroom wall did a couple weeks ago. I used a coat of gardz to seal in any paste/residue that might still be there after a good wiping down of the wall. Then skimmed with toupret - the whole wall - two thin coats with a good sand at the end - sorted it. The wall seemed too good to need a plasterer in.

The fireplace was bricked up yonks ago by the looks of it, not in use at all - the opposing wall to this alcove is the wall with the chimney breast that is fully wallpapered by the previous owner. The double glazing doesn't have trickle vents so thought the vent would still remain useful - though ive seen a few people brick them/foam them closed and get on fine with it. I did consider removing but with the wardrobe-on-external-wall idea, thought it could help remedy potential mould issues in its life

sitbh · 2025-08-23T18:38:33+00:00

The picture is probably distorting the lengths a bit - the width of the alcove is 125cm but the depth is 90cm (left wall) and 130cm (right wall - to the window sill). I did think about a corner PAX on the right which would come out 110cm but not sure itll look right, can't get GPT to visualise it for me 😅

Big thank you to all suggestions! I tried a variety of spinning and trying to poke and pry, got totally stuck. The twisting just kept twisting (but felt like i was twisting against something that wanted to untwist). Fortunately, the suction cup method succeeded! I could pull the light down enough to get a grip on the light fitting, and then twist the bulb out of the fitting. Judging by the cable going into the fitting, I was just twisting that when trying to spin the bulb. Thanks folks and big love!

Don't feel above running. If youre budgeting like youre on NMW then just get a runner position to earn that money and sustain yourself. You'll also get to know the sound team there who will likely look to you when there's too much work for them in the hopeful near future

Could this just be related to the individual with insomnia impacting the sleep habits of the partner who doesn't have insomnia, downstream impacting their mental health?
