This is the before and after photos

We've got 2 keyfobs plus the exterior keypad so figure as it's mainly in and out on bikes rather than cars no need for the app. Really pleased with it plus the insulation is so much better than the old up and over we replaced. We also got about an additional foot of head height which was a bonus

Is that set up for your only fans photos?

New electric garage door was installed today. Definitely hitting middle clas and middle age when this is going to be the highlight of my month.

Unless the log burner arrives early then there could be some competition

You must be NW if you saw them in the coop? I've not seen them before and a friend recommended them, he also had a referral code so got 18 delivered a few weeks ago. Down to the last 4 (this one and the one above not included)

Oh phew! Spunking cash at the moment so that's a relief.

On another note going down the middle class rabbit hole of replacing the (non) working gas fire with a log burner. Hoping it arrives while we're still in a cold snap. The way 2020 went can guarantee it'll be the hottest Feb on record

I came across these folks the other day and worked through a few of the different options they have. Manchester based, great tasting, lots of flavour.

I went back a few pages and couldn't see any mention.

Oh fuck.

Was just thinking about this. We've a sofa on order from November, does this mean I'm screwed too? I'm presuming it is coming from Eastern Europe

I put money into 2 funds, both by polar Capital, the technology fund and the biotech fund. Both up about 30% for me*

*For the kids as is in their JISAs

What's the battery life like as heard there could be issues with that and also noise if you have them in the bedroom?

I'm still contemplating just getting the smart trvs for 4 of the bedroom and hallway rads but spending so much cash on house stuff

Nice wine cooler, good to see got the important parts covered.

Who was the kitchen through?

And you didn't go wooden worktops? 🤣

I've watched this and think it's worth trying out. I've ordered some M10 bolts and metal inserts that should arrive week after next (M10 inserts that I ordered on Amazon had a bit of a lead time) so will let you know how it goes

Interesting article on the Brixton Buzz. My favourite paragraph is below....

I'm on a Dell too but not sure where I'm meant to be looking as it isn't in the settings under power and management

Interesting, are you able to do a screenshot of what the step on the bios looks like as I tried doing something similar but not joy?

Fuck that! We considered it but IMO if the kettle breaks it's easy to replace. That goes wrong a total ball ache and huge cost. Where do all your bin bags and cleaning products go if not under the sink?

Plus we get the chilled water from the fridge

The biggest concern in my situation is if I get fired/redundant getting a new role might be harder.
Maybe I'll be lucky and become a kept man....

Plane towards? Ok, the vice was a Christmas present so haven't got round to doing anything with it yet so will have a think.
Cheers for the pointers on Howdens Vs Wren. I heard there had been issues with fitters at wren being of questionable quality, some great and some not so great. The builder has been using Howdens for years so he should get a discount. As my Dad has used him amd.recommended him hopefully he won't be sticking too much on

We moved about 3 months ago, both our companies went fully flexible in lockdown v1 back in March which was the last time either of us went into the office. I can't see that changing in the next 3 to 6 months too. I'm in fintech so pretty flexible attitude to location and remote working. Not a boast post but as we were on London salaries does mean our disposable income is much higher, our flat is now a house with a big garden and more importantly for me a garage I can aim to fill with 2 wheel toys. One thing I've noticed is tradesmen are soz so much more responsive and friendlier than London too

I expect to get the train down maybe twice a month tops and I can do an overnighter if required but if we can manage a year I can't see too much of a need. Office interaction is nice, if I was a junior or earlier in the career then it would totally suck and huge disadvantages

We went through a very similar thought process but ended up in Chester. Idea was Wales and th hills there. Unfortunately we're not allowed over the border at the moment so meh

We're both in jobs originally in London but both told we could work flexibly so we packed our bags, grabbed the kids and headed out.

Trying to figure out the best spot for the vice is. I'm right handed and it has a swivel base.

Two spots are the left hand corner or 4/5ths of the way along to the right. I'm probably just overthinking things but a man needs a hobby. The corner would give me more options on where to stand but just have the feeling it would also be in the way more.

Is there anything to consider or a general rule I'm not aware of?

Cheers Fox useful info. The guy from Howdens came to measure up today and he used to work for Wren so you can guess which way he was leaning. Interestingly he said Howdens don't work on commission.

Flipping heck, what's happening on South London at the moment?! Vauxhall, Stockwell, Brixton and Streatham seem to be having more bikes knocked than normal

We're looking at getting out kitchen re done. Definitely not going down the laminate/granite/wood wormhole but more interested if anyone has had good or bad experiences with Howdens Vs Wren. I think with Wren more about getting a decent fitter so this is a price and quality aimed question.

I've pushed the button on a Cube Editor with mudguards and changed bog standard tyres to gravel ones. Should be arriving in the next day or 2. It's similar to Cube Traveller without the Dyno lights and kick stand

Basically I wanted something that could be a dad wagon, handle a commute, deal with roads as well as some light off roads and tracks. Impossible to find something that will do all those well but looks like this will be above average in most areas.
It's belt drive with Alfine hub so 11 gears

Not that dissimilar to the Shard on previous page but at least I'd heard of cube
