Far too neat for my liking

Can’t husband wife build the houses “ individually “ and claim self build each ? . Or be in the action of “ splitting up “ - did this many years ago to get a better mortgage deal …

Just a thermostatic mixer off the UVC. Plenty of power ; no issues ( with shower or uvc/ashp for that matter ).

😉

On my way !

Build it live ? more like build it (expletive deleted)ed This why they have a picture of a cock ?

(expletive deleted) that ! . That’s mental ! Talk about accident potentially about to happen ! . Jesus !

Flexi’s can fail for no obvious reason . Agree some must be better than others . Now ( after experience ) I only use flexi where I have too - do a visual inspection every 12 months for any sign of decay / leak . My new kitchen I installed copper rod fittings . I feel happier about that .

Checked it just now and it’s off ! Turned it on off a few times and was fine …

Yeah - a pita . changed all IP’s instead .Messed up lots of things - but almost back to 100% now …

Yep

Just installed a new dimmer . Never noticed this so assume the problem wasn’t there after install . Turn lights off ; 1 light stays a bit on . Notice it’s last and first to power up before the others . Led failing ?? Photo of lights off

Take my new robot vac . Couldn’t get it to connect to my WiFi. No idea of the issue - no error message except fail Googling … only apparently connects to 2.4gz not 5 . Mines both with band steering . So I disable 5ghz - still doesn’t work . How would you explain how to do that to someone without a lot of detail ? Google more . Apparently for reasons unknown doesn’t like a router address of 192.168.8.1 - exactly what I have . So I change that ; which naturally breaks everything else . Explaining how to do that would be very difficult if the person you are explaining it to is just following your commands . That thought gets it working ! - shame everything else is bust though due to router IP change …

No it’s not difficult. But that depends on your knowledge and understanding of these things . People think sometimes you can write a step by step guide that you just follow . But you can’t ; as there are plenty of unknowns and what ifs . Router config , firewall , ip address setup etc. etc. There are video guides online . But again if there’s any variation in what you have to the video and you’re simply copying the steps ; then it might require a fuller understanding.

Raspberry pi , picore player , any speakers you want . Cheaper than all other options and dead reliable. If not tech savvy then forget it

I haven’t looked at this yet . When I said I’m near to vat claim ; ‘ near ‘ is quite wide …..

I’m doing the same . Buy everything before the sign off / claim goes in . Just to be safe

Check eBay British heart foundation as seller . Ignore advertised price . Ask if they will take an offer …. 👍

A machine that tickles , sucks , wet wipes is the ultimate toy

Actually looking at that template - I’ve almost got that apart from a seperate vat number column . Guess I’ll have to go through my 700 invoices and add it 🙄😊

Appreciated . Like others I don’t want to ‘look’ at the website and then some cookie reports me 😊

Yeah I saw that . Couldn’t see major differences between that and s8 ultra pro ( apart from price )

I’m relatively close to vat submission. Online you don’t need to list / upload each invoice ?? . I have a crude spreadsheet - can I copy n paste that in ?

I guess I think of a robot vac like a dishwasher . We don’t need a dishwasher - we could do it ourselves or pay someone to do it . It’s a tedious repetitive task so we buy a dishwasher ( 700 ish for decent brand ) . Same with vacing and washing floors .

Ever employed cleaners ? . Rarely do a good job or turn up . Managed to get this a fair bit cheaper than retail price . Have an S7 upstairs ; does a pretty good job until it finds swmbo’s clothes on the floor …. Downstairs ; where this s8 will be placed is 100sq m of floor tiling . I ain’t cleaning that . Once you have a robot vac then 90% of human vac’ing stops . They aren’t perfect and clearly can’t fit in some tight areas . S8 has seperate water bins for clean and dirty . Also dries the mop . It’s mopping ability ( pressure applied and vibration speed ) has been improved immensely as has object detection ( for avoidance ) . Unlike a human cleaner ( whom could easily cost a grand a year ) I can shout , swear , curse and kick for my pleasure . Robot vacs use to be a bit crap I.e novelty value ( strangely enough like people’s perceptions of solar , batteries , ASHP I.e gimmick money ) The s7 imho was the generation I’d class as a proper robot vac . Not perfect - but good . S8 should exceed that .
