Weird - mine just did the the same thing. Have never taken the boiler out to clean the solenoid though..

Much more so than fallout I played outer worlds never regretting making a 'wrong' build/choice that would diminish my experience. Finished it feeling like I could immediate start again with a completely different build and enjoy it just as much. So many options for completing quests.

Can remove them from the chiral network from the pause map. Definitely agree with you about changing the lonely feel. Grew to quite enjoy the mechanic though. I don't really do social media so maybe the gratification of other peoples likes pulled my trigger.

That's where I'm at at the moment - only with 4 switches. Can't find the right combo of 'double' and 2 gang to find out if what I want doesn't exist or if I can't find it. We've just moved in and no interner at the moment so searching through mobile versions of sites at the moment is more hassle than I can be bothered with.

Is there such thing as a double width switch plate with only two switches? Have a big back box but only two lights. google-fu is failing me

never had an issue with a knife - the 'upside down' wheel technique makes sense though too

Looks great @tbc well done. I know it's been discussed on this thread previously - and consensus appeared to be that's it's a bit of a slog to do yourself and once you've hired a machine the cost of someone else doing it was fairly palatable - what made you choose to do it yourself?

I have literally gone my whole life not understanding what is wrong with a knife? Scissors, fine. Pizza wheel - wtf?

Dagaz makes quite good FFF dials. Sold mine on here a while back and miss it - they are great.

and somehow step 1 is the hardest!

exchanged! completing in the new year - buzzing.

jesus fucking bleak

i feel sick

Won't rise to it.

perfect for when he takes the watch out and it can still be delivered weighing the same amount it did at time of posting!

looks like function over form rather than anti?

has it changed how/when you wear your watches?

great though!

blown render on the outside wall. suggested remedy was to patch up the render on the outside wall.... plus condensation in the roof space suggested ventilated tiles.

Just emailed the estate agent and offered to split the difference between our sum and theirs. We're acting in good faith, and can't (read could in an absolute sense, but not really) afford to bear the burden of doing it all ourselves on top of full offer.

We're at peace with the fact that we're happy to pay what our initial offer was if absolute needs be, but doesn't hurt to ask if - as you say - no-one really wants to walk away. Being mercenary about it, we are both on rolling rental contracts and 1st time buyers, they're in a chain and have a toddler- so they probably have more riding than us on it.

Absolutely - they've been there for ages as well.

To be honest we I was expecting some push back but wanted to make sure that we weren't being awful buyers - are trying to conduct ourselves in good faith, and had gone out of our way to obtain 'fair' quotes for everything - often getting independent reports at our expense, as opposed to people who were quoting to do the work.

As in, barely worth pulling out over? Does that not go for both parties?

360 - we've asked for 6ish off.

now that we've had a survey we can no longer afford X because we need to spend Y on the work so we can now only offer Z (often being X-Y as a starting point).

this is essentially what we've said. good to know we aren't being unreasonable.

great.

Can I have a sense check from someone? We're close to purchase on a house which had a few things come up in the survey that we had looked into further by specialists - which ended up with us asking for a ~1.5% reduction on purchase price. These were things recommended by (for example) gas safe engineer/electricians as 'requiring urgent remedy' as well as a few bits of work to address condensation in the loft and minor penetrating damp.

Firstly - how reasonable is it to expect a reduction for such things? I know the answer is ultimately how long is a piece of string/how badly do we want the property - but we are trying to act in good faith, but without screwing ourselves.
Secondly - the estate agent has come back with a "non-negotiable" final figure which is way off from the reductions we asked for - "non-negotiable" is just estate agent guff right?

1st time buyers so don't know if the estate agent is just twisting the screws or if we're being unrealistic. We've had 2 fall through so really cba to lose this one.
