So that's what that stuff is. Moved at the end of last year and this house has that....absolute nuisance to remove, at least the cardboard can be recycled.

I had once built a desk and had inset a slab of polished slate for the keyboard and mouse area. It was perfectly flat and smooth and was great to use except in the winter when it would be ice cold in the morning and sap the warmth out of your hand for an hour or two whilst it warmed up. After...

That picture makes it look more vibrant than it is....it's a bit more muted and pastel colouring. The carpet will change and the new bed I'll build will be white so it 'should' be fairly sane. :D My other daughter wants her room to be yellow and orange like a sunset with a yellow carpet....I...

Definately a 'man job' this one......decorating the small room in a new house for my youngest....ombre painted the walls the other day. Parma violet at the bottom fading into fairytale pink at the top. Next is build a wardrobe and bed frame.

£177/year from Policy Expert (Silver). 3/4 bed detached, couple of £1000+ items and a bike. Had £33 back as I went through a cashback comparison site so down to £144

That looks awesome (although not sure about Kevin Hart)....I do hope Dr Zed and Crazy Earl make an appearance.

Has anyone got a hack to get Disney+ running at a higher quality through Windows? From what I understand DRM is causing the content to run at a lower quality and looks rubbish. I could watch it on the TV but I have a better audio system on the PC.

After recently completing a purchase in a longish chain (4 properties, bottom was FTB buying a property with a management company) it doesn't matter if you have the best solicitors....you'll all go at the pace of the worst (which is why it took me almost 6 months from agreeing a sale to...

No, you take the machine outside. With the weight of most water-cooled systems you get a work out in the process!

One of the best things I bought for cleaning the PC was an Air Duster (about £50 at the time). Doesn't get used often but will clean a rad thoroughly even if you think a vacuum has done a good job there is still plenty of dust in the fins. Just remember to stop the fans rotating with a bit of...

Just got Ogi installed...nice to get off the 4G mobile router. Lovely install and they tacked the cables nice in the garage. Can't fault them.

I've only seen these modern auctions once in my area and it came with a big discount (£275K instead of normal asking price of £350K at the time) which I presumed is because of the stringent time to close the deal (and the nonsense caveat that the auctioneer can increase the deadline if many bids...

Completed on Tuesday after a very long drawn out sale. I wouldn't have said it was a big chain with four properties in it, but at the bottom was a first-time-buyer buying a FTB scheme home and their solicitor was useless and wouldn't engage with the chain much. I'm pretty sure they forgot to do...

What are these things like in the cold of winter? A normal loft is about as cold as the outside which would mean a stream of cold air entering the house.

Looking at this thread made me have a look at few things...I have two D5's, one is early gen with fixed speed and is loud which is why I retired it. The other is a Laing D5 vario original with an aftermarket EK top. That thing has been running since at least 2004 daily and averaging 16 hours...

They've got a Black Friday deal on for the next 7 days...all half price 150mb/s for £15/month 300mb/s for £20/month 900mb/s for £30/month Not heard too much but mostly good. Saw one comment about poor aftersales but that's open to interpretation and happens with everything. The thing I...

That's a bargain...less than half price from Netflix direct.

Nice solution. The important part here is that the sun (UV) is reduced before it passes the glass. As soon as it passes the glass the heat is on the inside now and internal blinds will just trap the heat between it and the glass creating another insulating cushion. Seeing the above you could...

You could get an air lock. Easy fix is to have a run of pipe from the pump and have a T-junction that goes off to the waterblock. The top of the T will have a further length of pipe which can be used to fill the loop and collect bubbles (but capped off for normal use). Depending on space you...

In a closed loop it doesn't matter where the pump is. You do need to be cautious of the pump head height though as too far between the top and bottom and your pump may not have the power to push the water high enough.
