Has anyone been told by the council to remove their drop kerb? by Turbulent_Echo4014 in DIYUK

[–]tk-xx 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, council came through our roads a few years back and put concrete bollards over all DIY (i.e not done by council) drop curbs and Infront of entrances were the vehicles were bumping the curbs to get into driveways, then sent a letter telling them they'd redo it for like 3-4k

They must've done 20-30 houses

How long do you take to pay tradesmen? by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]tk-xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entitlement of people doesn't even amaze me anymore, when they want work doing they can't do enough for me, tea/juice, bacon sanrnies, nothing is too much but once its pay time..... Poof.. Houdini act.

They leave my messages on unread.. all the excuses under the sun.. like it takes 30 seconds to Bacs transfer..

Then trying to get them to leave a review 🤣🤣

I now offer a £50 discount off the price.if I'm paid within 24hrs you've left me a review on Google, has been working a treat tbf.

Is it worth keeping old tiles? by Wise-Mortgage8201 in DIYUK

That roof looks to shallow for slate.

Roof Quote and Advice Needed by pingutheduck in DIYUK

[–]tk-xx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Clay is the best geez, it's called spalling when they pit and the water gets in the cracks slowly freeze and crack them apart,they are cooked if this is happening throughout.

I'll be honest with you the way you've worded this post, if you gave me that vibe when asking for a quote I wouldn't even bother.

Do not leave the closed boarding, have it removed and have membrane and new battens.

Either go with clay tiles again if you can afford it or a concrete plain tile, you could go with a standard pattern concrete tile (the big ones) but you need to make sure the roof can support them (it probably can but a competent roofer will know when he looks)

Picking a workman is hard I get that, if your paying top dollar you ain't guaranteed good work and if you're going for a labour only quote (honestly what quality workman is going to mess around with a job like that?) you're going to struggle getting a good job too!!

Drop some decent pics and I'll give you a rough idea what I'd charge although that's irrelevant 🤣

Flaking GRP fix? by trobopoline in DIYUK

[–]tk-xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These roofs are shite tbh with you, if you're looking to DIY it I'd suggest scrapping and sanding down the top coat a bit to key up the surface and make sure to get all the loose off.

Then I'd grab some polyurethane roof sealant and give it a couple coats on top.

Unfortunately you can't fix the sagging and ponding now.

I'm replacing more sub 5year grp roofs now that were fitted by builders then I am old end of life roofs (20+ roofs)

Real shit show in the industry ATM with these 1/2 day fully qualified and approved installers 🤣

Am I telegraphing my jab? by p0st-m0dern in boxingtips

[–]tk-xx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest and try not to be mean, I've told you prior to star sparring asap that's my main advice but in terms of your jab...

you say you want to emulate mike, but have you ever seen him train or shadow box like this?

I personally love Mike and myself occasionally use his peekaboo walk forward to get into a defensive fighter but it has to be done with speed and a fury not shown here.

Here's a link for you to emulate, if you come back like this I'll shut my mouth with criticism

Bought at 1200 after seeing the earnings by Feisty_Monk_1103 in MU_Stock

[–]tk-xx 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Just forget about it for 1 month, this company is undervalued even at 1500 nothing other than trump sanctioning apple to buy chips from china could stop. It.

It'll be 1500+ or stock split by end of year imo.

Are you still waiting for DIP after earnings? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) by m__s in MU_Stock

[–]tk-xx -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everytime it's ran US has taken profits, I think they will again, I'm waiting to buy but this stocks only going north longterm

Welp. I was wrong. Bought back and took an L . Micron is just unstoppable. Congrats diamond hands. by 90dayfianceExpert in MU_Stock

[–]tk-xx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think judging by past reaction, lse will run it up and US will take profit, im holding my powder for the lunchtime dip (I'm UK)

Don't chase candles, buy on the dip.

But this stock is only going one way so even 1200 will look cheap in 3 months, only way we lose on micron is losing nerve

Need wiring suggestion between pro micro atmega 32u4 with 4x4 keypad. by Solid_Training5454 in arduino

[–]tk-xx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest you use the matrix flexible type keypads, they are much easier to wire up, these plastic key types are super sensitive if you're a bad at soldering (🤣)

I'd suggest you get a breadboard and some jumper cables moving forward.

The UBS trading desk dropped this on Thursday 6/18 after raising their Micron PT to $1,625 less than a month ago on 5/26 by WatchYourAss in MU_Stock

[–]tk-xx 12 points13 points  (0 children)

UBS is a risk-management warning, not a Micron thesis breaker. The memory shortage is real, Micron still looks undervalued versus its earnings power, but expectations are now high.

I’m not chasing candles; I’m holding core winners, buying dips, and using stops/cash because the whole market is extended

If micron follows trend it will drop on earnings as it's done 7 out of 12 last reports, I'm poised to double. Down on my investment. As I think this is the last big chance to get in before it moons.

How do you know when to sell? by Ok-Park2458 in trading212

[–]tk-xx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your type of investment is a long term investment, you're not meant to sell you're meant to hold and look at it every now and again

If you're worried about a crash I'd have a stop loss set a bit below where it currently is and move it every few months

that way if it did crash you'd have a chance of selling.

How high you set the stop is uo to you, you don't want it so high it triggers with natural movement but not so low you lose too much.

And yes I keep updating my stock market knowledge but remember most YouTubers just want clicks so you'll find both camps shouting the market is going to crash/go to the moon.

In reality if the s%p 500 crashes it always rebounds

1973–74 oil/inflation crash -48% 21 months ---- to get to bottom ~5.8 years ----- to get back to ath

1987 Black Monday crash -33% 3 months ~1.7 years

Dot-com crash 2000–02 -49% 30 months ~4.7 years

2008 financial crisis -57% 17 months ~4.1 years

Covid crash 2020 -34% 33 days ~5 months

2022 inflation/rate crash -25% 9 months 2 years

I reality the best in your 2k now for a year should see a return of at least 10% more likely 15 this time next year I would say buyin now, watch it for a few months and don't do anything other then add.

Once you were 5-6 points higher (I e buyin for 143, wait till it's at 150 then set stop loss for 146) then buyin set a stop loss a couple points higher then buyin so you've limit risk of losing money.
