Probably not much help. But the antennas (as far as I am aware) are designed to radiate out from the unit – ie you ceiling mount them and they radiate down from there. Are you mounting them this way (ie the “standard” way)?

You could use your mobile and a wifi app that shows you signal strength to see where your signal is good and where it is bad – that might help explain things?

I have used 1and1 for years (not hosting) and never had any issues.

I have got a https://www.hifiberry.com/shop/boards/hifiberry-dac-pro/ and have it running Raspbian and streaming spotify. Sounds great and just appears a device that spotify can connect to .

Sold something on here a few years ago and they arranged their own courier, who turned out to be something like Polish. I was very very paranoid. All went very smoothly. Not sure I would do it again though!

Take a look at the hambini you tube video about oval cervelo BB. Maybe he can help?

Code says that it only work on full price stuff, but applied to my basket without issue

As already mentioned I believe it is likely to be where the rear mech goes into crash protection mode. You can reset this by unplugged it (the mech) from the battery.

For me, my di2 makes little difference (fat old bloke).

But my son races and has raced using di2 and mechanical and his opinion is that di2 allows you to change under power much better than mechanical. This for him seals the deal. Also, the current mechanical ultegra eats gear cables ALL the time. The bend on the cable in the shifter is the issue apparently. They have had them fail many times in the last year.

di2 is great as long as you:

a) dont touch it
or
b) have a complete set of spares that you can swap in and out to debug which bit is going wrong

2 kids on voxi and have zero issues.

Unlimited stuff is included when roaming – which is impressive!

For stopping we have used – Appart’City Reims Parc des Expositions.
Big rooms, easy to get to from motorway. Booked via booking.com.

Have used Erna Low a number of times.

Son bought a 4iiii based on their reliability. That got replaced under warranty.
So good, but not perfect.

My specialized tarmac came with Praxis crank / BB. I believe you do need a tool (about £30 I think). So a specialized dealer should have the tool if you want them to just remove it.

I used the interlocking grid things for a 5m x 4m log cabin.
Was impressed overall and seem to have no issues (been up 1yr).
The only complication is that they rise to a point in the centre – so you have to be a little careful over where you put your level as to whether it is level.

But overall it meant it was easy to sort out and would do it again.

Also find out what state the accounts are like. What work has been done / what needs to be done – whether any reserves have been built up for pending work (for example, where I live there were 5 flats that had to get their roof sorted – the cost was £25k, so each flat had to stump up £5k).

What is included in the service charge (buildings insurance, painting, grounds maintenance, hallway cleaning, etc).

Possibly an important question – what have the maintenance costs been like for (say) the last 5 years? It might be very stable and no surprises, or they could be ramping up to cover things that have been ignored over time.

Yes that access point would work.
I use these – https://www.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-Extender-External-Antennas-EX6120-100UKS/dp/B01560JGQW/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1544525536&sr=1-4&keywords=netgear+wifi+extender

and set the SSID to the same name everywhere. If you put the ethernet connection into it (and reconfigure it – very easy), it works just like the one you have listed. The one I have listed uses less space but will probably give you slightly less coverage/throughput (although that is not necessarily true).

i use dropbox for files. amazon for pictures. gdrive for other stuff.

zippykona – you could have just run a VM of windows on your mac – many people do that

remote desktop?

bikehut is no brainer.  Just got my kids the 1600 lumen one for £45 (with bc discount) and tried it out the other night – about 1.5hr on full (just to try it out) and still had some (maybe 25%) left.

My 18yr old son has just started on the Welsh U23 cycling team.  He progressed from local team, to bigger team, to Welsh U18.  He has raced at almost the very top UCI level races (excluding the nation cup races which only GB are allowed to race).

He has a lot of drive, which is needed to train day in, day out.  He balanced training with A levels and 3 jobs.  He didn’t have a drink after his 18th until 6 months after his birthday.  It has taken a lot of effort from him to get where he is.

But he enjoys (almost) every second of it and has raced all around Europe against many countries.

The life skills are huge.  Along with his collection of bikes!  (race bike, spare race bike, track bike, cross, bmx, mtb, winter) and many wheels.

I have probably driven him thousands and thousands of miles (furthest was to Austria for a 3 day race).  Been to Belgium many many times now.

His brother a few months ago said that he wished we had pushed him when he was younger and not very interested in racing (he is interested now and playing catch up).

There are many kids who are now slowing dropping out, some through lack of options, some through the rate of attrition.

Eg some lenovo docks have a bigger psu than the normal laptop one to power more stuff

have you powered the dock?

do any ports in the dock work (usb)?

On older ones the winding mechanism was literally made of plastic and was renowned for failing (~Mk5).  I am surprised that is (still) the case for Mk7.

lawnmower works really well. (I have both petrol blower/sucker and battery blower.  petrol – very powerful, makes light work of blowing.  wet leaves being sucked just tend to continually block the chewing portion.  battery – ok on patio).

I have 5 mature large trees (twice the height of the house).  Mower is just the easiest – just raise it up so that you are not trying to cut the grass too.

Cheap boosters are crap.  Good ones are great.  Distribution amplifiers allow you to split the signal to multiple places.  The antiference one I have seems to be good quality (eg F connectors instead of the nasty normal connectors).  Has a high power output and 8 low outputs.  Also works with FM (new ones do DAB too).

I had a husquavarna (sp?) petrol mower – was great.  Got noisy(er).  I eventually killed it (~18 yrs old).

Replaced with greenworks 40v lion.  Battery lasts long enough.  Problem seems to come from when you cut it short, the motor seems to work harder and eventually refuses to start.

Other issue is that it does not seem to throw the cuttings into the basket with the same force, so is easily blocked up before it is filled up.

Lovely and quiet though!  If you are just trimming (ie cutting reguarly) then it is much better than a noisy petrol mower.

For sheer brute force it is not a patch on petrol!

Back to the suggestion of buy to let interest only – there are new rules coming into force where you will no longer be able to claim relief on the mortgage interest.  Make sure you are fully aware of the changes that are coming.

It is possible that you have too much signal!  I had this (~30 miles from transmitter, but with the biggest aerial and biggest amplifier, etc).  Signal got better when I unplugged it and gave it ~2cm air gap!

Have they turned the power up in your area?

I used to find our signal changed when the leaves dropped outside – either reduced attenuation or misalignment of the aerial and loss of the multi-path that the leaves may have caused.

I would check your mech hanger alignment.

Out of 5 bikes, all 5 bikes needed tweaking.

It would seem a mech alignment tool really is useful (I was cynical before buying it).

My road bike (di2) went from not very nice gears to perfect.

(Well, perfect for a time, I think the hanger has been weakened/knocked – so plan on buying a new one)

“normal”, I did not need to up or down size.  They are quite wide. (mine are about 1-2 yrs old)

We have a combi and 5 bed 2 bathroom, 1 toilet, etc

I wish we had gone the route of a pressurised hot water system.  It (boiler/water pressure) cannot supply 2 showers at one time.

Also you may want to consider if solar could heat your hot water cylinder??

Done mine 3 times, one is grade 5.  They asked me whether I wanted it to be operated on – I had no idea.  Was wavering until the consultant said he had a builder who could still lift bags of sand with his like that.

Physio was mostly doing resistance band work.

Must be about year ago and get no problems so far

My car has built in sat nav and android auto. The only benefit of the built in is that it has speed limits and uses part of the dash (just ahead of the wheel).

With android auto I tend to – start both waze and google maps.  Route using google.  Then you get audio prompts of speed cameras from waze!

With latest updates you can unlock your phone (ie the passenger) whilst still plugged in – that was the big gripe before the update.

Use it all the time

Google maps – gives me traffic, will reroute based on traffic

Waze – run it in the background and it gives you speed camera and traffic

Spotify – quite good.  If you are online and other people use the same account the car goes nuts and shows the track changes that the other user does.  Even when on radio in the car.

Voice – really good, couple of weird ones where unable to get spotify to select the right album/artist.  Dictate texts, etc.

Whatsapp / FB messenger – messages can be read out and replied to

Annoying – they used to lock the selection of stuff from the screen, saying you are driving – however it was my passenger doing it!!!!  They have changed it to say “concentrate on road” and that times out after about 10 seconds.  Still annoying, but less so.   Need to use voice instead.

It cost me £150 in my skoda octavia and is worth every single penny.

We were allowed to not install fire doors but to install “heavy” solid wood doors.

Mains fire alarms everywhere

No extra escape windows specified (although there were existing ones that could apply).

Warmest rooms in the house (built 1997) in the winter.  Quiet hot currently (3 small conservation velux per room).

Loft done 4 or 5 years ago.  £24k for loft, took about 4 weeks.  2 bedrooms.

Did not need fire doors, building control (or whoever) were happy with us going with normal oak doors (so heavy and providing some extra fire time over and above a paper door).  Also no longer need to use self closers.

I had 2013 (new at the time) A6 2.0 tdi multitronic.

Fuel consumption was crap.  If you drove it gently some of the time it would go above 40mpg!

Only slightly better than the Q7 3.0 tdi that I had changed from.

The other day I struggled to follow my eldest (18yr old) on a road ride even when he was only doing Zone 1/2.  It is ok when both my sons are out (the hole in the air is bigger for me to draft then).

They can jump higher and longer and their mountain bikes too.

It is a long time since they were being pushed up Afan W2 but it is great bringing the little ones on in their skills and their fitness

We have had fitted by a plumber effectively an inline thermostatic value, so outside is just a standard tap.  There is a hex key to adjust the temperature.  Apparently he fits loads for dog washing

had it for quite a while (1+ yr).
excellent value for money
new magazines added over time
road bikes, mtb, cars, computers, etc

You can have 4 devices too

you can download and read off line too
