how do I fix light leaks? camera is a 43y old canon AE1

Just did Norwich to King’s Lynn, train out Sat evening, back Monday afternoon, leisure pace, 2 nights wild camping. (Plenty options on the way, just take some time to scout them.)
I’d avoid the King’s Lynn part if I was doing the full loop. Bread Source in Aylsham good for coffee and pastries / lunch.

thnx, super helpful, will report

bit last minute: doing part of this in 2 days. We'll arrive in Norwich tomorrow (Sat) 7:30pm, planning to wildcamp, train back to London Mon evening. What's the best route?
Counterclockwise to King's Lynn? Clockwise to King's Lynn? Clockwise past Thetford and then ride to Ely or Cambridge?
Good camping spots on any of these options?
@jdp ?

Hit me up if you need local advice / tips / help, i’m around the corner. You’ll be next to one of the best, no bullshit wine shops in London.

Because the council loves unnecessary bureaucracy I need to make changes to our deed, triggering the mortgage provider to ask for a new valuation. The company they sent previously will come around again and comment on the finishing for £750+VAT.

(WTF this broken system that cannot be fixed coz all these blokes will lose the bullshit jobs they picked up in the local Wetherspoons... £750 to come around and comment on the finishing?? I'll come around your house and comment on finishing for free.)

Anyone know where to get a cheaper valuation survey (I'm in SE London)?

thank you, as ever. feels a bit scary making it much worse before fixing it but seemed to have gone well.

How do I fix hairline cracks (thick hairs) in the ceiling on plasterboard joints in a newish house? It’s a conversion of an old building that was (and probably still is) moving. The paint is Dulux Trade matt white. Is there a smart filler I can use, or something else I can do to reduce chances of it cracking again?

interested in shimano 600 groupset pending pics

Yes, I bought carcasses without doors and also used different (blum) hinges as the ikea hinges aren't standard / what cworkshop do. You want to spread the hinges across the height of the door, so any pre-drilling in the (lower) carcass wouldn't be in the right place. It's not too hard to screw them into the carcass though: put hinges on the door, hold in the right place and screw.

No complaints after 2years, seems sturdy (attached to the wall and maybe the extra sides reinforce it too) - I'm sure you get better drawers and stuff when you go bespoke but we couldn't afford that

Which bit do you want to see? It's been 2 years since we built it and 2 weeks since I finished dealing with the roofs that weren't waterproof. I'll try take some decent photos in the coming weeks when the green roofs and other plants have recovered a bit...

See the drawing and photo. We did this in 2 rooms, in 1 of them 2 paxes of 100cm wide just fit in the space to fill so bespoke doors were only necessary to make up the height. In the other room, the space to fill was narrower so the doors are also to cover the width.

@hugo7 you're right, these doors had edgebanding so I did them in MDF. The laminated ply was for a table top and some shelves which I cut with a chamfer so you do see the edge

cworkshop do a sheet of double sided white laminated 18mm birch ply for £177 inc VAT, or £198 cut up. I've used them for bespoke doors and sides for ikea pax wardrobes (incl hinge cutouts and edge-banding) see photo. They've a lot more finishes and a decent online pricing tool.

top part warped a bit, working, pick up Surrey Quays

Sorry, can’t seem to find it anymore which probably means the builder sourced it…

White aluminium channel on 3 sides with a piece of glass siliconed in. Glass is from Jat Glass, who do a special coating for showers which works surprisingly well.

you might need a different dimmer switch for halogen vs led (leading edge vs trailing edge)

We need to split our leasehold (currently 990y, commercial) into two leaseholds (residential + commercial) after building a new residential unit. We own the freehold. We have planning permission (it’s the council insisting on separating the properties.) We got a mortgage to do these works so the mortgage company should play along. How do I go about this? Can someone recommend a solicitor who can help with this? Ideally this won’t cost me a bike…

I found that going for long runs with a friend and chatting is good for slowing down. If you can comfortably hold a conversation, you’re probably around the right heart rate.

This took me ages but I finally used your code today. (I first had to sort out a dispute with EON next about electricity bill, I can recommend the energy ombudsman.)
