Had mine for a couple of years.

- Sensor software is not good unless range is really close.

I just installed two of the camera's and the first thing I noticed was the very short sensor range (guessing it about 10 feet)

- Image quality between 720 and 1080 is hardly noticeable

To by point above, 720 is 95% as good.

Thanks that good to know

New shades, polarized and UV400 for £8. Perfect for when I drop them, lose them or scratch them.

If only prescription sunglasses were also that cheap

Replaced all the internal house doors... Finally!

We replaced all internal doors earlier this year with Howdens Dordogne, which look very similar to those, and I can't believe the difference it's made to the feeling of quality indoors.

Each door has (finally) had a light sand and two coats of Osmo top oil clear matt, which was an awful job, but makes them look really good.

Thats the plan for mine (Ive already done it for one of them). Did you sand the front faces also?
There's a few nicks in the veneer but I'm not too bothered at the price I paid.

I sanded every part of the door I could access including down the cracks between the panels, once with 150 grit, then after the first coat of oil, with 180 grit.

You'd get 95% of the result just by sanding once on the panels though.

I would recommend removing the handle trims when oiling, because as I'm sure you know the Osmo sets hard, so it's a pain if you get any on the screw covers.

Some bricks and fixtures / fittings

came from 1200 sq ft over 3 floors to 2100 sq ft over 2 floors, the difference is unreal. It has the most amazing kitchen which is the size of the whole of our ground floor in the last place

Looks like an F150 Raptor or a very good copy.

2018 Gibson SG Junior, well overpriced, but I thought it's worth getting an
example of a craftsman built, classic American guitar before Gibson
are bought out by Walmart or Hyundai and go down the crapper.

How craftsman built is it? Gibson have quite clearly been focusing their sights on their own foot, marketing/product wise, for a few years. But their QC has been patchy for much longer. Looks lovely though, so if you picked a goodun then enjoy it

Yarp.

My first megaminx, to add to the twisty-puzzle collection. While sunbathing in the garden I'm seeing how far I get on intuition alone before researching methods.

baldmonk · 1 Jul 2018 at 14:12

so is that like a fancy rubix cube?

Yadda · 1 Jul 2018 at 14:15

Yes, basically. A dodecahedron. Very similar to a 3x3 (Rubik's cube) in its method too, which is a relief.

Unmatching front door colour sets my OCD off, I would return it

Nice house!

Lovely looking house but I agree about the front door. Looks kinda stupid in two colours.
