Yes. I feel genuinely and deeply sad about every injustice I come across. It's a character defect. I guess, if the customer is really rich and they get the job done extremely well, I would feel fine with them getting charged a lot of money. Don't get me wrong - I really appreciate the time and...

People who entered the discussion in good faith did not inject a non-existing idea that the kitchen company recommended a decorator, they understood what "face" means and they understood why I chose not to focus on the person's death initially - or at least they understood why it is not...

Because you enjoy trolling and I guess I am the lucky guy du jour. Thanks for making it feel like Reddit everywhere, I guess :)

Nah, he's gone. Polish guy. Shows up 7:00 on the clock and works his posterior off all day. I tried watching him once - got tired just looking at him work. Laser sharp work and helped me save thousands with advice and plumbing work he could have refused to do. He also managed the gas and...

Couple of years ago we had the kitchen re-done. We bought the units from a big renown name and went for a slightly higher spec since we wanted a special colour. Fitted by our own amazing decorator who has since, unfortunately, retired. 20 (or was it 25?) years warranty. Few days ago, we noticed...

Roof has been done this summer but I don't have any handle on the tradesman who did it so I wonder: - How bad the situation is - Can it be rectified - Would I just cause more damage by going up there and banging stuff Basically, the roofer who did this missed 4 nails: They go through the batten...

Cool, I thought I needed some special "oak wood" screws. I will definitely pilot them - to prevent splitting as well! BTW, following your advice, I am actually more inline with 27mm right now: cheaper, lighter and will indeed look better in my tiny office. My plan was to grind the bottom end...

Going to pull the trigger tomorrow :) I wonder what kind of screws to use for mounting the legs to the top? Thinking about these legs: - (My floor isn't the best) Not adjustable. The adjustable ones have separate brackets, which I imagine will result in a wobbly desk + The bracket is welded to...

yeah, that's inline with the pricing I am getting. The 230 figure includes the cut, "preoiling" and edge processing (my elbows don't like sharp edges!). And it's "Premium Oak" ("Grade A", selected without knots, etc...) But I will definitely shop around ebay some more! I initially tried, but my...

I am horrible at dealing with working men. I am on the spectrum and even though I think I make perfect sense, they prefer to shrug me off, whatever I am asking for! :D I've been looking for someone to turn me a very simple piece and couldn't find anyone with a lathe willing to even have a...

I don't know if I used the correct word: "warping". I didn't mean the natural change of shape that real wood incurs with time, I mean more like slowly "buckling" under the weight. Anyway, most desks in my price range seem to be without any support along the width of the desk. I think I will go...

I am looking for a desk that fits my home office. My plan so far is to buy the top and the legs and then bolt the legs on. I am not planning to use a frame! My concern is that the desktop might warp with time. I don't plan to put anything heavy - just a screen, laptop, maybe a plant. Here are...

this is not about the hive controller, which I was able to install just fine :) The heating system has the same problem with the old thermostat and hive. I just mentioned that to rule out the thermostat.

It's second hand from a friend. Pulled out of a fully working similar system. I mentioned that in case it might shed light on what's going on :) It is connected to wifi but I didn't set it up to interface with the www. I think I'll switch back to the simple thermostat, just to diagnose a little...

I realise this isn't the first time someone ever asked about this and I did try a lot of the online resources but I am stuck clueless.

We've recently moved to our first home and it features an officially "non starter" boiler. When viewing, I thought I recognise the problem. New PCB and the system is running! Now I am trying to troubleshoot the next problem: The system works for most of the day alright. Heating and Hot water...
