Success ! The alarm box presumably to save power will only audible alarm for 10 seconds . But with the zigbee dry contact input I get HA to get voice assistant to repeat 10 times to annoy and a notification to my phone .

Oh no ! It’s a @SteamyTea long post that everyone just scrolls by .

Yes . It requires dedication. Skills beyond the average human . Spirit and gumption. All the skills I possess .

I think you are right . More discoveries are certain . Signs of Inca temples ? . Decomposing bodies of neighbors ? , bag of dodgy VHS tapes ?. We can but speculate

Suck on that Time Team !

Cleared out that section . Ripped up my old concrete as too deep to put pavers back . Fantastic discoveries were an embedded breaker bit and a mysterious piece of timber .

No no no . Planning for IT / tech stuff is good ! 😊 . But I would drop the dish . Streaming is the way to go . If cables are a problem get a good mesh network . I do this for when I can’t be arsed to fudge another cat5 cable in . Just wire or wifi each tv then an upgrade Netflix / Apple / whatever account for multiple devices .

Your comment has been noted .

Who the (expletive deleted) prepares 2 yrs in advance? . It’s far more fun to make it up as you go along

Agree . (expletive deleted)ing mess

You mofo ‘s (expletive deleted)ed ! I’ll wait …. Just remember who was nice too me and who was nasty . It’s coming ; you’ll all suck on it 😊

Me and ChatGPT have become best buddies . I asked it how long before it can give me moderator control of this forum. I ain’t (expletive deleted)ing ; mods hand it over now ; later is so too late …

Crack width max 2 or 3mm ( no @Onoff rude boy comments )

I changed my mind and bought the ‘standard’ spring type affair . I could get an L bracket of some sort to mount it flush with gate . But if I mount it skewed on the wall will it still work ? In my mind the physics are the same . But rather than drill and find out thought I’d ask first . I could mount the spring lower so the spring is more inline . Does it matter if it’s at the top , middle or bottom ? . 🤔

A roofer has confirmed the crack is structural. But the assumption is apart from the roof leak some movement may have occurred . Talking to some neighbors all appear to experience something similar . Houses are 1890 - so typical perhaps ? £500 gets me scaffolding up ; then roofer can giggle as he quotes for the work once investigated

No cracks on the ground floor anywhere . photos to follow

I don’t

I’ve asked the neighbour to take a look on their side . We had a similar crack there before but not so prominent. It seemed to appear after water ingress . Roof leak was ( supposedly) fixed . I left it for a year to make sure dried out 😊. Decided time to get that bit redecorated. Was done about 3 weeks ago . Here we are again though . Tenanted property but believe no anti gravity devices present .

They finally conceded ( in their non admission way ) and am due a £50 refund for an unnecessary epc .

Thanks . I’ll change the shade - FIXED !
