Is wickes 'Master High Performance Levelling Compound' any good as a base under porcelain tiles. It appears to be a fibre reinforced latex mix. Some comments on this forum refer to latex compound not being too good - but don't know about fibre reinforced stuff. I must level floor this...

There are actually slates underneath. The main slab of concrete appears to be about 30mm thick concrete on tarred paper. Working purely on guess work I primed with waterproof PVA and, put down a little patch of DPM, primed again, then filled in with 1:1:1:0.5 concrete, sand, PVA, water...

Thanks for the reply. It is certainly damp coming through the mortar. It was wicking through into the laminate floor and there was an earthy damp smell when I pulled it up. Now it has been exposed for a few days it has dried out and changed colour. I did mean 10mm, maybe 20mm - most of the...

It has probably been too many years since I studied electronic theroy... I thought there could be all sorts of things going on, a standing EM field, mutual conductance would be increased as the cable is coiled, there could be some phase shift. The thing to do would be to attach the input...

Sorry to hear that. That link appears to have changed now to just have your last post! It did have a link to a driver removal tool which if used I suspect would be I suspect you also need to turn off WHDL/driver signing befire trying to install the driver. I can't think of much else apart...

I guess you used mains voltage? My calcs come out at 1mA of leakage per ~14nF at 230V 50Hz. I am suprised you would get ~30nF from only 40m of wire. With it being on a reel you are most likely may getting inductive/antenna effects. The problem with this sort of thing is the positioning of...

Ask to see a copy of the signed traffic order. Sometimes they are not signed, signed by the wrong person, or what is on the ground does not match the order. Often there is something minor wrong with the signing which the arbitrator considers sufficient to cancel the PCN. Something wrong with...

I think you can solve this with a clean install of the Vista 64bit drivers (which dell unhelpfully has not linked to their driver page) More info here http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/p/19304899/19591671.aspx#19591671

Hi All, I am redoing my kitchen - just pulled up the old laminate floor and found this underneath. The main concrete slab is dry but it looks like the previous owner put down ~10mm mortar on top of earth when he redid the back door and did noting to stop moisture wicking though into...

Looks like previous 'builder' owner forgot about a DPC
