Right now? It's hot. In general? Centuries of telling ourselves we're amazing despite reality not lining up with that at all for 90% of us.

Jaded Burnout posted:Local word of mouth is a lot easier when you already live there and your neighbours can tell you what a good job Gary Fences did on their fences, but when you're self-building you're probably not in the area yet and it's not a very common project. The most eye watering recommendation was from my gran in law who recommended a roofer with the caveat that I probably shouldn't leave any money out, any alcohol in the fridge, or leave my wife alone in the house with him. Thanks gran.

To be fair it also sounds like 99 has sought out the cheapest builders he could find and gotten exactly what he paid for. There are good builders in the UK, but they either get snapped up by companies or end up so busy they're impossible to get hold of. Leaving the average home builder the choice of arrogant Dave, absent Dave, bodge-job Dave or incompetent Dave.

When whatevil said there's a button to make them slide out to the middle like that, is it possible that your model can be configured to not do that? Like say by attaching something to that empty screw fitting on the right there. Also seconding the loose screw head sticking out of the frame, what the gently caress is up with that? E: Is this going to be another 'these guys were cheapest' thing because I'd think you'd have learned that lesson by now. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 13:37 on Sep 9, 2022 |

'Had to spend an astronomical amount on special foundations because of boundary trees which then died' about sums up the thread. Honestly I would have rolled over and died long before this point, you have the tenacity of a loving honey badger to still be going.

I think we're going to need to see a spare block being punched through, martial arts style.Failed Imagineer posted:Big if true (doesn't seem true though)   The conversation got onto new builds and someone mentioned that some new builds are hard to get mortages on. I think I interpreted this as them being so poo poo they're hard to get mortgages on, but a brief google reveals that it's because they lose value really, really quickly, and also something about 10 year warranties? But yeah, new builds not good. Bobby Deluxe fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Dec 15, 2022 |

There's something very satisfying looking at underfloor heating. Less so when there's cold spots because you missed a bit.

Sorry I realise I used rhetorical you, something which I do a lot. Your floor seems fine, the heated floor in our kitchen has cold spots where the people we bought from didn't do it properly. Also it doesn't run all the way up to the oven, so when i'm standing cooking it feels like standing on a normal stone floor, i.e. loving freezing.

I'd worry less about if it goes clockwise or counterclockwise, and more about if the self drive can work out that the bifolds aren't a garage.

I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“A vast and L-shaped house of stone Stands in the village... Near it, on the sand, Not sunk, a great foundation lies, whose floor, And heating track, and aerate bricks out fanned, Tell that its builder well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The thread that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is not just a number, ninety nine; Look on my house, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The surprisingly level foundations stretch far away.”

It's probably an autoreplace macro, like like when you set your phone to replace '99crs' with "that was a curious decision 99, I can't say that's the typical way of doing it but I can't deny it's an interesting way of approaching the problem."
