Dacia Duster or Nissan Qashqai?

Sadly my little 2007 Toyota Auris is on its last legs. It’s served me well for years now but unfortunately too many parts are starting to fall off from rust so looking to get a new vehicle. Budget is under €4000. I’d like to get some kind of SUV or something since I’m renovating and would like to be able to carry timbers etc. The Duster and the Qashqai look tempting. Any thoughts?

Can I replace a rotting 3" (75mm-ish) wooden lintel with a 3" (65mm) concrete lintel

I need to replace a couple of rotting timber lintels in my old (1940s-ish) mass concrete house. I measured them to be 7"x3" but when I check for concrete lintels online all the ones marked as 3" are actually 65mm instead of actually 3" (75mm). Can I use a 65mm concrete lintel as pack underneath it with something to bring it up 10mm?

edit: I should add, I do not think this lintel is actually supporting anything since:

  1. its only 160mm deep and the wall is an of 300-400mm thick
  2. when I push a screw driver into the wood I am hitting something solid after the 160mm
  3. the wood is completely rotted away in one corner so I can actually pull it away with my fingers
  4. I think the lintel was just there to support the window frame.

How to remove this adhesives

I remove the carpet from my concrete floor and it’s got the weird sticky resin under it. I assume I notice some old tile shapes and around the edges are these kind thin tiles that look a little like wood veneer. Anyway does anyone have suggestions on how to remove this so I can tile? I would really rather not deal with a concrete grinder and all the dust that comes from that. Any other suggestions?

Just wanted to share a small bit of DIY work I’m quite proud of

I’ve been renovating a 1940s old farm house with unpleasant surprises around every corner.

Here is the master bedroom which had giant holes in walls, plaster falling off, an active leak, rotten skirting, etc… now it doesn’t look half bad if I do say so myself. Still needs window frame back on, rad installed and a carpet.

Electrics had to be fully reworked but I didn’t do that obviously.

Edit: I should have said it before but huge shout out to the community here for dealing with all my millions of questions and helping me to learn how to do this.

The council closed Kittys food truck at inch.

Was at inch today and saw the owner of kitty’s food truck selling ice-creams in a small ice-cream trailer. I asked when they would start up the food again and he said that the council had shut him down. Not gonna lie I’m still upset about it. That tuck was a staple of inch beach like.

I don't understand the whole move to Antigravity?

Being the Scrooge McDuck that I am I've been happily using gemini-cli with the daily free request/tokens/whatever and I usually got maybe 1-2h out of it before my quota ran out. This worked nicely for me to do a little bit of my side project in the evening after work.

I just downloaded antigravity-cli and used it for about 10-15 mins and have already burned through my quota for the WEEK. I thought "ok fair enough they don't want to give stuff out for free anymore, I guess I go get the pro subscription" but it only gives 100 requests per day ? I mean I used the 20 daily quota for the week in 10 mins, why on earth would I pay €20 a month for only 100?

Can someone explain to me how usage works.

I using the free tier signed in with email, I’m working on quite a big project (custom k8s operator) and I had it try to run it by itself like. It ran away trying to fix issues and refactoring messy code. But it burned my daily usage in like 10mins. I thought I had 1000 requests. Can someone explain now it works?
