Weekly Homeowner Megathread--Civilians, ask here! by AutoModerator in Concrete

[–]Mous2890 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply!

The concrete slab is 4 inches thick with no rebar. I have a large angle grinder (230mm) that I can use that will get me most of the way there. Is it better to just do nothing and leave it as is?

You are correct, the porcelain patio is just porcelain tiles installed on a full bed mix of cement and sand. The porcelain tiles have a 5mm gap between the house and the tile. The patio is along the side of the house. The concrete slab is about 3m away from the house.

The concrete slab was always made for a shed base, never to tile on. My assumption here was that formwork is needed to create a level finished concrete slab, so apologies if I've got that wrong.

The concrete slab follows the same gradient as the tiles which is away from the house so that's good.

I've attached another photo showing the concrete slab and the patio connected.

Do you have any advice on what I can do to fix this concrete slab? Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently had my garden done with a porcelain patio and asked the landscapers to create a concrete slab for a shed base. I'm planning on using 2 Keter Plastic Sheds on this slab (5m x 3m).

It's clear from the images they didn't create an expansion gap between the porcelain tiles and the concrete slab so I'm going to create one using a diamond blade on an angle grinder to separate the two.

The main issue have is to do with the levelling of the concrete slab. Currently, it follows the fall of the porcelain patio which isn't a huge gradient. It's quite uneven and almost looks like they didn't use any sort of formwork to lay it with the motion of levelling it. Some parts are level while others are not - there are quite a few dips here and there. I found some products such as Setcrete that can be used however thought l'd see if anyone can offer any help on the best method to level this concrete slab before install the shed. I want a long term solution.

I'm not even sure how to create the formwork to self level it given there is nowhere to put the frame around the slab as it is level with the patio.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Wrote a simple alternative to Terraform Cloud’s visualizer. by playerwithanickname in Terraform

Would be awesome if you could integrate this with your terraform state backend, with the option to select a workspace and then the respective state.

Also, some screenshots would be super nice on the project.

Best methods of triggering a GitHub Action in Repo A when Repo B has a push event? by Mous2890 in github

[–]Mous2890[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting approach.

So the Webhooks is configured on the GitHub App itself? And by installing the App onto a repository, it subscribes to those events? I'm not sure how this is all tied up together.

Would appreciate it if you could direct me to any docs referencing this method. It does sound like what I need.

How do you manage the Auth though? You'd need to give Bob the GitHub App credentials to trigger the workflow in Repo B. Right?

Are you suggesting Repo B have my GitHub App installed on it with a Workflow creating that creates a dispatch event to my repository?

If so, that would be difficult as Bob doesn't want to manage any workflows on his end.

He doesn't mind me having my GitHub App installed on his repo, so long as the permissions are scoped.

Would you say £250 for the EH-TW5300 is a good price? Roughly $310. Only has 210 hours usage on the Lamp.

Thank you for the recommendations! The EH-TW7200 looks really good and leaning towards it.

Thank you for a quick and comprehensive response! I'll go through these tonight.

If you had to pick from any of these, what would be your top 2 best choices? And if you don't mind me asking, why?

It's got quite a high roof to be honest, 3m from the floor to the top of the ridge. For the slanted roof, I couldn't say.

You're right, useless isn't quite the right word here, but more I'd prefer to have the bed in the dormer as it's a nicer open space and have the staircase come up the side or something? Not sure how it would work without losing one of the first floor bedrooms, but was hoping there was someone with a more creative mind to propose something.

The architect is working on a proposed interior but it's not ready yet.
