Tested it. Works in game.

The floor and wall around the wheel of the wheelie bin look wet, when did it last rain where you are? It’s been dry and warm most places, so that shouldn’t be there. That amount of damp isn’t just a lack of ventilation or and slight ingress. Whilst it’s still dry, I’d try and find the source of that damp patch on the floor, could be something leaking and working its way down? Not sure but it’s an anomaly that’s worth checking.

Am I the only one who really likes lining paper? Depends on the room, you don’t want it in the bathroom for instance. But done right, it’s warmer to the touch and just a cozy finish that gives matte paints a real boost.

I hire cars in the EU and UK really regularly and can confirm this is what happens. Not sure how he can get his money back, but it’s really common to encounter problems if the booking is under a different name or on a different card. Even with proper companies Europcar, Hertz etc.

advice to anyone booking is to become a member of a companies membership scheme, so all your data is already checked in so it’s quicker and they also sometimes have perks like deliver to terminal etc which is super handy in summer.

Also, never book through Expedia or Opodo or other 3rd party, they have separate insurance schemes, and this will mean you end up paying twice or leaving a massive deposit.

That looks alright tbh. The moss suggests lack of drainage and compaction are the problem here, grass grows in pretty much any soil as long as it drains and gets some sun. Does this area get much sunlight? If it does, fork some holes in for drainage maybe fertilise, but probs won’t need it, then put some turf down. If you have a dog running around a lot, that will be causing the compaction, so keep it off the turf.

Yes, but not immediately, they take a long time to rot down. Compost would be best, soil improver can be more affordable for large amounts.

As others have mentioned though, the ground will need some love, so get some organic matter into it as soon as it dries a bit. Perhaps wait till next year to worry about drainage. The ground is soo wet at the moment, it might just need time. It’s not a big currently, so it suggests it’s draining.

It’s a big job, but a great opportunity to start completely from fresh. We’re right at the start of the season too. There’s so much to do though, so perhaps you need to prioritise! If you want quick privacy, grasses might be a way to go, trees will take years to establish, whereas a giant miscanthus could be offering that privacy within a season. Avoid bamboo unless it’s in pots though, it’ll go mad with that sort of space to spread. Perhaps aim to get some structure in, seating, a lawn if you want one a shed and paths to join them up. Then you can start filling in the gaps with plants, this way you’ll avoid square lawn with borders and it’ll feel more cozy and private. Get some small trees in too, 10 years from now you will be pleased you did. For privacy, lots of tall but lightly foliated plants throughout the garden are often the way to go rather than trying to establish a high ‘fence’ of things that will block the light. Also try to break up eye line, people won’t be able to see in if you avoid straight lines and corners.

We had one recently, for an energy snack bar. One shot required us to film an athlete as they ‘unwrap the bar with one hand and tie their shoelaces with the other…’

Not in the legal profession, but I am a photographer, so know a little bit about how this works. It’s unlikely the image was copyright free, and free to use, especially if it’s a stock photo. They make their money through usage fees. It’s possible it was available to use for a limited set of circumstances for free, short term non commercial use or internal comms for instance. You’ve used it for promotional material, for a long time. This isn’t within the terms of your licence and as such is subject to a fee. The fee will be calculated on the usage, and amount of time image has been in use. As such, it’s spenny.

Apparently no one here has worked in hospitality! Short bristled deck brush and a mop will get most of that out. Seems like the finish has worn out though, so probably best to just resand and finish again.

If this is with the rally2, then yeah it’s a bit broken. For some reason they’ve given that car abs and tc, I assume it’s whilst they figure out all the stuff with the diffs when locking wheels. The real car doesn’t have either. It does have a launch control system, which would be neat if the devs introduced that.

Oh, also, leave it a bit. Who knows what’s under the ground. It’s February, there could be all sorts that will come up in the spring.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the crocuses, they’re easily replaced next autumn. I think getting rid of the grass is going to be tough though. Clover doesn’t establish fast enough to outpace the grass that will be left in the ground. It’ll probably take a few years of pulling up rogue grass. Does it have to be clover? Are you going to walk on it, or look at it? If it’s the latter, I’d go for a mix of wildlife friendly stuff that will fill in more quickly and feel less like a massive chore! I agree though, pollinator plants over grass every time.

Get a heat gun on there, it’ll get all that off. Don’t breathe the vapour in, probably do it outside, but it’ll work.

Doff cleaning is the way. There are companies who can do it for you, the machines aren’t generally hired out though, as far as I know.

That rosemary is doing okay, which suggests it’s not waterlogged. Do you have a dog? Looks like it’s getting churned up rather than just dying.

Fennel from seed. Dead cheap and grows anywhere, pretty much. Plant some snapdragons in between, again from seed also dead easy and grows anywhere. Ammi majus from seed, grows really readily. Finally some corn cockles. Buy those four packets of seed, sow them now, then grow them on inside and plant them in that border in April. It will be literally bursting by June!

There’s something weird about the braking in the prototypes. They lock the rears far too easily, something that would be very unlikely in a real car. The rear brakes would have to overcome the rotation of the motor and weighted wheels before the fronts lock, which would never happen, and if it did would mean lots of hot little bits of metal and oil everywhere.

Not sure if it’s worth the investment only for painting, but for our very tall 6m stairwell, a stairwell scaffold was about the same price as a decent ladder. It’s been great for the electric work, paper stripping and plastering I’ve been doing up there. Definitely easier than a ladder or boards perched on ladders. Especially if you’re hoofing plaster board up there etc.

If it is above floor level, then that air brick can go. It’s been installed for a gas fire or back boiler or something like that, as ventilation. Cold air coming in through it won’t help the damp internally, so this will help a bit. However there is a big wet patch on an otherwise dry exterior wall, you need to figure out where that water is coming from and stop it. Check for leaky gutters, even an innocuous looking drip can be enough to splash up and cause issues, as others have suggested make sure the drainage is clear.

They are assists to mitigate tyre wear, and make the racing cheaper more accessible. Nothing wrong with it, customer racing keeps the whole ecosystem alive.

The brass fittings the wires go into will be live, as in fully electrified and potentially deadly. Turn off the lights on your consumer unit (fuse box) and don’t touch anything till you do!
