Some laptops and standalone monitors have poor quality screens. So if you open an image for a very long time and then close it, the colours of the image "tint" the screen for a while. Like I said, that's a hallmark of a poor quality screen. If it has been exhibiting that behaviour from the...

Was it just for that particular instance? What monitor make and model do you have?

I was thinking of filling a gap in the internal brick partition wall of the downstairs toilet with gun grade pu foam (Thermofoam perhaps). The gap is at floor level and allows a lot of cold draught to get in from the sub-floor and is hard to access as it is behind the discharge pipe of the...

Bloomin' heck. You guys sure like to diss eachother eh? It's like reading those YouTube comments lol.

I had a union rep present throughout those formal warning meetings, and what angered me was they had no experience of anybody in the union being in a similar situation. That was a first! Plus when the warning was concluded I asked my rep should I appeal and he said not to, as the company was...

You're actually taking me back to my uni days here now and this is a pretty interesting subject. There is an inverse relationship between meniscus height and the diameter of the capillary. So the smaller the capillary, the higher the water is drawn up. Of course this suggests there is no limit...

The concrete floor will have to be reinforced. Not only because it's acting as a beam, but also to control shrinkage cracking etc. while it sets. How much stuff will be going into that room, how much does it weigh and what's the footprint of the room and is it square in plan? The reason I ask...

What's the make and model of the cameras? You're going to have to do a bit of analysis here and I identify what part of your setup is acting as the bottleneck. I also suspect it's your router, but it needs to be confirmed. It's definitely not going to be your PC specs because: 1. An 8 core...

You're right, it is surprising how little people know about epilepsy or other types of mental issues. BTW, anything can trigger off a seizure. Tiredness, infection/illness, not just flashing lights like some people think. I was admitted for a 5 day video telemetry test but these are flawed in...

I'm on Epilim at the moment too. But I also take Zonisamide. I suffer from absence seizures, so I can continue to do things without being aware of them, or yet do something completely different. I was supposed to chair an engineering meeting. It had just started and the next thing I was outside...

How is rising damp a myth, sorry? Where are the facts? Just merely the surface tension of water would allow it to go up a capillary, just as there are interlinking capillaries in bricks.

Yeah I agree with you, she has the voice of an angel. That guy she's dating from Slipknot is lucky.

I should apologise too mate. I've gone over the top too. I'm not using this an excuse, but I am genuinely in a difficult situation at the moment and my depression causes me to lash out a bit. Just imagine you had a dream of designing things and seeing your designs be built on the field and...

I'm going to try be as polite as possible here: 1. I've realised you like to pick up on the little things. After I've criticised you for not reading my original post properly you've gone on the attack. Well done. You've gone back and picked out the little inconsistencies. 2. I said we. What I...

My joist levels are low in relation to the ground level. They're only about one brick course above GL. So may be because of splash back during rain there was penetrating damp? You won't believe the weird stuff the previous owners had done to the house. My biggest regret was not getting a...

It definitely had some issues. A the joist ends at the bay window were saturated/damp and the floor at that end was receding too. There was evidence it was an ongoing issue as there was evidence the joists at that section had been replaced, so they weren't continuous/one length joists. Defo...

Please don't say I've been done over by these guys. They were going to charge me an extortionate price but I managed to knock 30% off.

They wrapped the joist ends in moisture resistant membrane but also said a new DPC is required to prevent rising damp.

Yeah I took photographic records of the work. It's literally where the plaster stops. Here's a photo just after they did the injection: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ltcf7s7ic9yf4c4/20161011_143113.jpg?dl=0

Thanks a lot guys for your help. But now it's got me wondering why the company put the DPC at such a high level. A bit odd.
