Hi, I attempted to level a small 1x1m area of hall floor as the concrete slab wasn't flat enough for LVT. Laid some self levelling compound down and all looked good but once dry, I realised it had pretty much followed the contour of the original surface. I've think I might not have laid it...

Sorry i forgot about this convo. MRI screening.... we don't do it, i don't know if our scanners have that capability (we don't rotate through MRI). I know that it is possible for "real time" scanning, but I think it's used to examine a particular system, eg digestive. I don't think it's...

What's your background @JohnW2 ? The newer aprons are definitely lighter and less bulky than previous, i don't think they're made entirely of lead these days but can't remember what it's called! It sounds like the kind of procedure that would be performed in an interventional radiology suite...

Ah awesome We had a fleet of fairly ancient GE AMX4s that only got retired at the beginning of covid. They were absolute tanks and totally bulletproof, unlike the newfangled all singing all dancing models!

Hi John, Yup, spot on, the mobile image intensifiers have to be plugged in. Well ours do anyway ☠️ I wish I had been about in the "olden" days to have experienced the older equipment

I'm a radiographer. Our portable xray machines all run off internal batteries, which can be charged from any 13a socket. The high kV mA is all provided by the batteries, doesn't need to be plugged in to expose.

Thanks for your suggestions

Hi, I'm after a bit of advice please. I had my hob extractor fitted and then had it tiled shortly afterwards. Unfortunately the tiler has left an 8mm gap between the tiles and extractor as it isn't possible to cut such a small sliver and wasn't feasible to start with a cut tile due to the...

Wow, good luck getting anymore replies

I don't get this whole wearing gloves. Gloves should be used for one task and then discarded, not worn for an entire shopping trip. Touching items, trolleys, phone, face, wallet etc. All they are doing is spreading contamination. Be better off just carrying a small bottle of hand sanitizer

Aha well played

Sorry but that's not exactly essential shopping.

Ok thanks for your advice. Obviously couldn't get my head around it as it's not possible! I'll go for plan b and use small lengths for the corner and then use the correct angle on the end of them. Thanks again

Hi, Basically, I’m trying to add a dado rail that runs parallel to the staircase. The bit I’m stuck on, is how to cut the two parts that meet in the corner. Hopefully the photo will make sense, but going up the stairs, the incline is 118 degrees into the corner, and then 72 degrees out. The...

I replaced my lean-to conservatory with polycarb roof a year or so ago, using lightweight tiles and two velux windows. Building control were involved but didnt actually ask about the existing footings.

Oh that's handy, even if it's only 6mm thick?

Apologies if this isn't the correct forum I need to hang a glass shower screen onto an internal wall made of stramit board, overboarded with what looks like hardie board. The wall will be tiled. For those not aware what stramit is, it's basically really compressed straw, with paper facing...

I was in a similar situation and decided to use frame sealant. So far so good! Looks a lot better than trim

Up and down wall lights fitted

Thought I'd just upload some final images for completion of the project. Paving relaid and extended, render painted, soffit down lights fitted, and interior fully decorated. Taken a lot longer than expected but finally all done!
