I got one of these last week and have been making between 6 cups (900ml) and 8 cups (1200ml) on gold setting using filtropa cone filters in the cone holder with no issues.

i'm using the sage smart grinder pro and just grind based on its cups setting at one of the filter/coarse settings.

maybe the grind size is causing the water to not pass through quickly enough and pooling on the top for too long so it has time to overspill?

but seriously. need help with figuring out what to put in that ceiling cavity now (links would be great). all the joists in the house are on 37cm spacing (but a very sloppy 37cm spacing at that). so i'm going to be cutting a lot of insulation no matter what type I use. I didnt get round to measuring how deep the space is up there yet either.

struggled mightily with some extremely shit and bowed ceilings but my uncle and I managed to get all 3 bedrooms overboarded over the weekend in the end

we also pulled down an extremely bowed and failing ceiling in the living room extension to uncover about a million rat/mouse poops and insulation full of little tunnels so we had to remove and bag the whole lot. luckily the room is outside of the main house structure so I'm gonna disinfect the lot with spray, fill every hole i can see with steel wool and then expanding foam all the gaps and then I need to figure out what insulation I need to replace it with then I'm going to hire a board lifter for a weekend to finish that room and the dining room ceiling by myself. even with 2 people using the props was a nightmare so I'm glad I avoided trying to do that on my own.

we also knocked back the blown plaster in the fireplace to the brickwork and have a bonding coat that's just shy of the surrounding walls so I can come back and hit it with a top layer of easifill 60 later this week.

am exhausted but feeling good about the project again. poop ceiling bummed me out hard yesterday but getting rid of all the contaminated stuff this morning helped a lot as it was all disposed of at the waste disposal centre by mid afternoon.

these things were basically all of the major blockers for getting on with the final wall prep and redecorating.

by end of the month I'm hoping to have a couple of finished ceilings and some primed walls at least. the ceilings wont be perfect by any stretch but it's an old house and they were totally fucked so this is about as good as we'd get them without pulling everything down (and we discovered they were mostly all lath/plaster that had been overboarded already so that would have been a lot). also the joist spacing and past damp issues meant some sections needed a spray and pray approach for finding fixing points that would hold but we threw in some grab adhesive on the back of the trickier panels so its about as solid as we'll get it.

for now tape and jointing will do for finish. if we really hate the look later on we'll see if we hate them enough to pay to have them properly skimmed (right now the budget says wait to see how much everything else costs us still). i think we'll end up living with a little imperfection and just be happy we could get it to this point.

Rooms overboarded: 1

Rooms still to do: 5

current emotional status knowing how many rooms are left : crying.

amount I'm glad I got some help to do it: 100%

is that scratch on the right there very deep? it looks deep.

this thread makes it sound like some of the air in the pipe is diffusing into the water causing the pressure to lower.

I loved BotW all the way up until I was nearly done with the open world stuff but had zero desire to do the final fight. it was great but the fun definitely wore itself out. sold my switch to Amey with zero regrets having bought it just to play it..

that's probably gonna confuse the hell out of the starbucks employees who work on the site of where that building used to be I imagine.

if bed bugs were the most traumatic thing of my adult life, cat fleas are well up there for the most traumatic part of my childhood (and that's a tough race). i'd say we had them more than we didn't have them for about 5 years. every time we treated they'd go away for a couple of weeks and then it'd be back to having 10 land on your legs/socks the second you walked into a room, I used to hear them jumping on paper and plastic surfaces while I was trying to fall asleep. didn't help treatment stuff was so expensive and we were well below the poverty line.

Twice I've seen a singular flea in somewhere I've lived as an adult and immediately carpet bombed the entire place in flea spray & powder and nipped it in the bud before they could take root.

oh jeez

de-jerk vu

.

100% they spread everywhere in our old flat and took 2 or 3 treatments but it did get rid of them. you spray at boundaries where they're likely to cross over it and they pick it up and die.

I would be sitting on the sofa and I'd notice they'd be crawling up onto my arm and we found them in crevices in all the doorways and our wardrobes.

the cost of the treatment usually includes the return visits.

ours came from our neighbours opposite forwarding all their belongings 2 months ahead of their return from living in new york so they sat in boxes on the landing and just crawled in at the best spot to get to every single part of the flat.

having had them before, get someone in to napalm the shit out of everything asap.

worst couple of months of my adult life

i got the karcher k3 home and car from toolstation for the same price as the k3 home kit only everywhere else so definitely doesnt hurt to check these things.

y u no shorten the side piece and extend the front piece to hide the join from the front?

tear it down and start again.

(v. nice btw)

It was helpfully explained to me by someone on discord that they're doing those weird reactions to "gifts" sent to them by their viewers (earning them money I assume) by pretending to eat the ice cream/chillies or whatever on live streams which overlay the gifts on the screen.

it's weird as fuck (especial when you see the videos without the overlay like in the pic above) but seems like a fairly astute way of extracting money out of your audience if you're one of these influencer types and clearly it works.

I've relented and am chucking my uncle some money to come help me next weekend. I'm stuck at a point where there's stuff to do in every direction and my (probable) adhd is just sending me round in circles not really achieving anything. just picking at different tasks here and there.

now I have this next week to do a lot of the outstanding fiddly prep stuff so we can just crack on and overboard most of the rooms and hopefully get a few of the rooms to the point where they just need priming and painting.

if we give notice on mon 31st for our current rental we'll have a month to finish the move so it'll be a real litmus test for if we'll have enough time to get everything done before then.

ITS were great when they had their free battery offer for dewalt stuff in may but since then i've found ffx.co.uk to be cheaper for the (many many) dewalt tools i've been buying. in a lot of cases the its price without vat is the same as the with vat price at ffx.

i still just chuck the tool model number in google before I buy just in case as has been cheaper at powertoolworld and a couple of other places for a couple of bits.

where's all the f*$king adhesive you lucky bastard. no shit coving glued onto the walls to force you to decorate them as well

isnt refusing to give a passcode to an encrypted device treated the same as an admission of guilt usually?

apparently on modern master sockets you can wire up the a&b coming in and they have a customer facing a&b from which you can extend the primary connection from for data to another (sub) master socket.

am gonna bin off the existing setup entirely, wire in a master socket where the cable comes into the property, then I've bought 30m more outdoor bt cable to go back out and then I'll run it round the front of the house and under the floorboards to the understairs cupboard like I wanted. later on I can cut out the first master socket and splice the cable coming in and the new extension in a junction box if i need to.

i like a garlic and herb dip but can we all agree the papa johns garlic sauce they foist on you without any consent by including a pot with every pizza ordered is the worst condiment to ever exist...

tried that, it went boom. least i dont have to do any more decorating now.

Deepening the trench for my summerhouse power run and this popped out of the side wall.

What am I looking at there?
