A 1 in 4 mix (cement/ ballast) with a 0.5 water to cement ration will give 40N/mm2 cube strength concrete. That should be adequate if you will be moving the stones at anytime or putting a bench on top. Cement will keep for a few years if you keep the air and hence water from it. Wrapped it up...

This is over a "nice laminate floor" in a room used for other purposes. I agree that a carpet would be difficult to keep clean. If a small nail etc penetrated could be a problem if not spotted.

Went in Fusion Fixings, in Paignton, last month to pick up a couple trend router bits. They are principally mail order but I had to go down to paignton so got them there to save on the delivery.

The sea is flattish today. was not a few days ago.

That does not sound to great. Obviously he will not respond to any questions after you have paid and taken the excavator.

Hardboard would be more slippy, I think, especially if you had covered the wider area in plastic sheet. I have been on sites where we have used OSB to protect against mechanical damage. Better than cheap plywood if some liquid gets spilled.

Where you are placing your workmate you could put down a sheet of 9 mm OSB to protect the floor from things that are dropped. Ripped down into three or four then you can put it in a corner when not required.

The Drewe Arms is a nice little pub. Only been there once about fifteen years ago.

A confirmed UFO sighting or more likely conformation of life on another planet around another star would certainly effect the money markets. Would people be scarred take out all their money and buy top of the range sharpening kit. Sharp tools may be needed. That would cause inflation which...

Shut the living room door and put a sign on the outside not to open.

The decision by the government to allow the telephone system to be dependent on the local power supply does not make sense to me. It is very common for smaller overhead power cables to be taken out by trees in storms.

i would not be surprised if many of the more expensive bags go up in value if they are not used and that model gets discontinued.

Mortgage rates are going to go higher then they will fall.

My shed (soon to be very small workshop) has a 1100 high retaining wall forming the back wall and just in front is another 900 high retaining wall holding up the ground infront of the shed. I certainly could have built a bigger shed if I had a flat garden rather than one with a nice view up to...

Despite the pretend liberals in wealthy areas there appears to be a tendency to vote Democrat. If the only jobs for more educated people in rural areas "tended to be government employees, college employees and teachers" then the people who are not suited or want to do those jobs will leave...

West Virginia has the second lowest average (median) income in the USA. $49.202 and $67,340 respectively. Here are the average (median) income figures added 1st Pendleton County male life expectancy 77.7 years 54% majority $41K 28th 2nd Monongalia 77.2 - 1% majority for Trump $50k 5th 3rd...

Lets look at West Virginia the US state with the lowest life expectancy. All counties voted for Trump in 2020 so this is by who much the majority was ignoring others. 1st Pendleton County male life expectancy 77.7 years 54% majority 2nd Monongalia 77.2 - 1% majority for Trump 3rd Tucker 76.2 -...

Just a guess but maybe Isopropyl Alcohol. Why waste beer.

I was not expecting it to be so one or two sided. I am aware that Democrat states are generally richer which helps with health. I would assume that the Democrats have programs that boost general health but that is just a guess.

Whilst PVA will allow a reduced water cement ratio so making the mix slightly stronger it will as you say make the mix more plastic or workable. The longer it stays workable the more it will slump which may not be so good when you are trying to form paws and ears that are cone shaped. PVA would...
