Still in warranty or less than 3 years old? I saw the Reddit post on this issue, might still be worth asking, they may have developed a hardware of software fix, and if not they may allow you to switch model.

That noise is the heads being cleaned, which needs to happen on all inkjet printers. It may be that your one was simply broken. I bet if you call Brother and ask for some advice they will help you.

Called brother about this and talked through the issues raised by Rossmann, they convinced me enough to buy 3 printers from them this month.

Which printer and why? I just bought three L8690CDW Colour laser printers for me and my family after calling Brother who were happy to talk me thought my concerns, they informed me that this model does not have chipped cartridges so it’s ineligible for their cartridge subscription program and they also can’t tell if the cartridge is genuine or not. They don’t care if you use 3rd party toner.

Looking at what just happened in Canada where they ‘sold’ 8600 in one weekend, it may be a case of 4000 Teslas registered in the UK but not necessarily ’sold’

Or just replace the GB and EU stars with a swastika

Can we start with all Trump and Musk assets?

I see your 5 eyes and raise you confiscation of all UK Trump/Musk assets to pay for the Ukraine war, as they are now both obviously Russian Oligarchs.

Y’all need to overthrow your corrupt dictatorship government before it fully takes over the media and military command.

Another unfortunate truth is that the Dildo of Consequence rarely comes lubed.

I guess you don’t read usernames

Just another person trying to belittle the passion of some guy on the internet.

This article is over 2 years old, so not exactly new news.

Just keep your phone for as long as possible and only upgrade when you absolutely have to.

There are no environmentally friendly options, but making sure your device is recycled at EOL, replacing your battery rather than your phone, and keeping it for as long as possible is the best you can do while still having the luxury of owning a phone.

I’m not aware of any insulation and rendering options that allow breathability of the sub structure. This is why any internal leaks need to be fixed and rising damp needs to be mitigated with DryRods.

Pretty much the only buildings that cannot be insulated without a massive amount of work is where the floor of the building is sitting in groundwater without a waterproofing membrane.

I agree, but then articles like this are the reason these people are so annoyed at the installers, they make it sound like there are mysterious procedures and practices which are not being followed, while failing to detail any of them and making the problem worse.

Anyone reading this will only ever come to the conclusion that they had a bad installer and won’t want their help, all while their house is turning into a stroganoff.

I know a lot about building and insulation. The most likely cause of this is pre-existing damp that was just exasperated by the insulation making it warm on top of the damp.

If there is any sign of “rising damp” the modern way of dealing with it is by installing a layer of DryRods, however if the insulation was installed during a particularly dry period there might not have been evidence of a pre-existing problem.

Other than that possibility it could be an unrelated pipe leak, physical damage to the insulation and render, or an issue with the guttering.

Finally cold-bridging where a portion of the envelope of the house is uninsulated and forms condensation, this is pretty much the only issue which could be a mistake on behalf of installer, but even then it should be obvious and made worse by failing to open windows or turn on extractors when showering, drying washing or cooking.

Any of this information could have been in the article, it’s absence is suspicious. Whatever the reason the first thing you need to do is let the contractor investigate.

It sounds like the company is offering to come back and fix whatever problem is causing the damp but the homeowner is refusing to let them fix it. Sounds like they’re just idiots.

The article doesn’t say what installation standards are not being adhered to. It’s not rocket science, you take insulation boards, you glue or screw or both to the house and you mesh ad render over the top. It sounds like whoever wrote this didn’t do much investigation.

What a waste of money, ask any independent climate scientist what you could could spend £22bn on, carbon capture and storage wouldn’t even be in the top 100 suggestions.

You’re right I should have said “”accidentally””
