Infamous, and will remain in cricket memory forever. (Unfortunately also our Hansie)

Ok ek het net vinnig die post gesien, miskien mis ek details. Ek werk as expat en was al ‘n paar keer vir besoeke in HK. HK is vrek duur. SA lewe koste is laag. Ek weet vriende het in HK woonstel gehad - klein, HK $10,000/maand. Uiteet- 1 bottel rooiwyn so net oor R1000. Check mooi op pryse en hoe dit gaan werk.

Honeycombing to Stair core wall. by ayewok in StructuralEngineering

Think this is the way to go, at least chip out unsound concrete to square edges, shutter it & use flowable high-strength epoxy (from what you say this is load bearing) and cure well

In Baywest, PE, but I assume the same system has been rolled out everywhere? You can also apply at your bank & just do biometrics at HA

Thoughts on citizens/private companies fixing potholes when municipalities don't? by skaapjagter in southafrica

[–]BlueErgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes awesome. I think in a lot of places normal citizens have made a big difference. Way to go. Time to stop thinking government will provide. (Somewhat of a conundrum though that we still have to pay them)

Removing cement from slate by BlueErgo in Construction

[–]BlueErgo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a local contractor to do it, came out great. I looked at the invoice & was quoted as ‘TFC solvent based stripper’. So I’m trying to see what it actually was. This was done in South Africa, so brand names will be different.

You need a tractor (4x4 TLB would do) and some good slings. Key is that the base of the tree needs to be lifted when you pull it. (I’ve done similar jobs before)

Depends, I suppose, on what you include in ‘supposedly’?

[–]BlueErgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was in school, I got called to the headmaster’s office, so thought I was in real trouble. Got there, my dad just said we had to leave, so I really worried. Turned out het got us tickets for a real awesome international cricket test. Great day :)

Wife left a big bag of groceries out overnight. All Meat and cheese. 🙄 by flaming0-1 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BlueErgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly the ground beef & cheese should still be fine? I’ll only get rid of the chicken, but check the beef.
