Thankyou, much more like the encouraging sort of reply I was hoping for! Happy Christmas.

Care to expand at all? any reasoning behind your post? why is it unsafe? I plan to scrape out the old cement and replace it? is there nothing I can do but replace the whole thing?? Please show your workings!!
