Recycled brick footpath

Plants and stepping stones to come, no idea what to do with the trench on the left (planned for weedmat and pebbles but have since heard could be a bad idea) so leaning either succulents & rocks or a long hot wheels track.

Got professional landscapers in after DIY digging only half way in 3mo. Severely underestimated how much effort it is to shift 2 cubic metres of road base & sand then 2 cubic metres of dirt with only 2h a week to chip away at the task.

Wifi disconnects randomly

Had my system since Apr and seems like the wifi just randomly disconnects every 2-4wk.

Found a YouTube vid which shows one fix which is restarting the battery by turning off the inv and DC switches under the cover.

Was wondering if anyone else had the issue and has a better fix?

Ideas for improving stamped concrete?

Mailbox footer form aside (only photo I could find while at work) half my backyard is covered in this stamped red concrete with bleaching where it gets the most sun and in dire need of a power wash.

Was wondering if anyone can share what they've done or thoughts for rennoing stamped concrete? Below are options I can think of:

* Recoloring and restoring (even to a different colour)

* Screeding and Tiling over the top

* Decking over the top (low 8cm lip to house which I've heard could be an issue for decks, wifey worried about leaves getting in and forming a compost heap)

* Concrete sawing and demo to replace with pavers or brick (nuclear option since there's a pergola bolted to the slab which would need to get removed too)

Cheers!

Steamlink via Google TV - Wifi7 vs Cat6a vs ditch for HDMI

Looking to play steam games where TV is 5m away and has a Google TV box to replace the bloated dlaggy TV OS. TV and PC are opposite sides of the room and running cables on the floor is impractical.

Previously tried over wifi where router was in a different room and 6yo budget router crapped itself and had issues.

Wondering if people can share how they've found steamlink, especially through a google TV box, wifi or ethernet!

Looking to find out if I can get away with a new router before running wall plates and ethernet or even HDMI straight into the TV.

Ducted Aircon installers and experiences?

Having fun with my second Canberra winter but the first in an owned house. While I've got a few split systems there's none in the kids rooms and keen on getting them warm without the allure of pushing buttons on the fan heater.

Was wondering if anyone has recommendations (or warnings) for installers and experiences with getting a ducted aircon retrofitted (e.g. I know to look at 2 part systems and make sure R1.5 duct from /r/Aus renovations)

[TOMT] 2010s 2D animation, MC has handlebar moustache, driving along a highway with Wario vibes

Binging nostalgia of old 2D animations like Harry Partridge Starbarians and Greasy Tales Captain Planet Rampage and remembered something in the same era but can't quite remember!

Main character has sunnies, red bandanna and a handlebar moustache, remember he gives Wario vibes with similar proportions. Video is music and pretty sure no lyrics or dialogue while stuff happens as the MC is driving along a highway.
