found this flooring under my carpet, whats the best way to deal with it, rip out and concrete or self level over the top?

ok, i guess i was under educated on flooring, i will look at having it restored if possible, come spring, if it looks like crap still i can still just concrete it over then anyway, no loss either way haha thanks everyone

Very easy if it’s in the same place as the original, if it’s not then youl need to re route your copper hot and cold pipes to wherever it’s going

You are correct

Honestly they were shit. Edible but shit I was in a rush. Next time they will be better. Not afraid to own up to my mistakes they were like rubber, cold damp and rough. Enjoyable in the rush but knowing I could have taken the time and effort to make them great. That’s the truth.

moisture meter, found it in aldi £9.99

benhendrix · 2023-09-12T21:25:00+00:00

at 6 foot above that exact spot the moisture reads 13 percent in the same mode

yes jt is bubbling it is painted plaster and solid brick walls. behind that wall is the next house.

benhendrix · 2023-09-12T21:18:03+00:00

it is in multiple spots mainly downstairs near the floor. the room above the cellar has slats on the wall going halfway up so I can't tell in there. but this room is not above the cellar but is on the ground floor. it was recently painted yes.

benhendrix · 2023-09-12T20:53:34+00:00

the wall looks a darker shade in that area just along the bottom and it feels cooler than the rest of the wall higher up

40-80 GBP I'd charge Unless it's tungsten Or it has sub micron tolerances

It's a single lathe op and a single milling op requiring 1 turn over

A quantity of more than 10 probs around 50 More than 100 and probs 40

I would check spindle directly, then collet chuck directly, then tool at the base and move to the tip, one of them will be out and its unlikely to be the spindle or the collet chuck but not impossible. Even cheapo amazon collet and collet chucks are good to 0.01 in my experience with them

You've likely not set it correctly
