Painted the hallway a nice light buttercream yellow (chosen by the Mrs). Walls needed quite a bit of prep work. Final result looks good though

Thought it may be a weevil. It dropped out of the attic...

Really hard to crush, tough gits.

Anything to worry about, or just a fluke? It was "stuck" in the rim of the manrose lofthatch, so just one spotted.

It's a weevil (family Curculionidae) in the genus Sitona, possibly Sitona lineatus, one of the most common Sitona species. The beetle only wound up inside the house by accident, you can put it outside.What bug is this?
Never worth rushing these things, takes time to do a job well.
Funny thing is it took like 5 minutes
Because you planned it well over the last 6 monthsFunny thing is it took like 5 minutes
Last few days I built my new workshop and shed and felted the roof on the of them.
Will be kitting out the internals in the coming weeks but the sparky aint coming until next weekend so gotta hold off on the bigger stuff until he's wired in the power and the lights.

Spent the day testing/comparing the Toob provided router (Linksys Velop MX4200: Wifi6) with the WiFi 7 TP-link I picked up recently...
...and now my WiFi speeds are absolutely appalling, compared to a wired connection.
I understand that wired will always outperform WiFi, but I'm struggling to understand how 40-60mb download on WiFi, with my pretty decent phone (OnePlus 9 Pro), on the 5Ghz, is acceptable compared to 900/900 wired.
Have factory reset both routers to no avail: WiFi doesn't get over 60mb on any device.

I had a similar issue with really quite expensive ubiquiti gear (relatively speaking). Do check the 5ghz band. Mine was set to 40mhz but changing it to 80mhz got me to 400mbps.
