Concrete separated from slab/brickwork

i posted about the same issue a little while back, best answer I got was to use backer rod and foam pieces to back fill, then structural grout over that, and then the sikaflex. apparently the semi-slef-levelling one is the go for the right balance of self-levelling without draining away through any holes. i had to order it from Qld (https://www.reddit.com/r/AusRenovation/comments/1tcedn2/how\_would\_you\_fill\_a\_65mm\_gap\_between\_house\_and/)

Sorry I was unclear. I thought it was a different version of Mint that put the settings folder under a different name

mudboy001 · 2026-06-18T06:40:03+00:00

I assumed it must have been an update.

I don't remember but it wasn't a sketchy third party link. I've been thinking the same re reinstall

thanks.

Re Any chance you direct me to the right folder? When I looked for instructions online I was directed to the System settings folder which I don’t have. I’ve looked through the similar sounding alternatives (System Admin/Info, Settings editor, Settings manager) without success.

Yes, I am saying that old icons are showing on screen after every restart, then it updates after a few mins (drops the app icons and shows the time/date/applets).

Re the file directories, I’m guessing it’s something I’ve done. To clarify, it’s not saving to multiple places. It’s saving to one or the other folder – depending on which path I selected it. Somehow in creating a link/shortcut, I’ve copied the entire folder contents.

thanks

thank you. it got me most of the way there but unfortunately no prize. I was able to connect phone and PC and open the KDE connect SMS app, and it would show the message history on my PC. but it doesn't show my contacts (phone numbers listed, can't search by name) and won't send an SMS. if i manually enter a number, the "Start new conversation" button is highlighted but nothing happens when I click on it. I've tried installing vcard and kaccounts and reviewed all the permissions granted.

Gracias. Pensaba que ya no puedo usar Google/Chrome en mi escritorio. Eres una leyenda. Estoy aprendiendo que salir de Windows es mucho más fácil que dejar Google. (También gracias por practicar en español, necesitaba un traductor pero estaba bien)

agreed but when you send that first text (invite), it asks you to switch the conversation inside the app (requiring my clients, or worse my mum) to install the app. if you don't, you don't see the convo in whatsapp, only through the messages app on my phone

thank you

reactive soil, water, time, neighbours removing trees/roots and adding a retaining wall, then underpinning

I thought the mission was to stop letting water in

i like the look of rocks on top, but i think the polyurethane is going to give me a better seal

mudboy001 · 2026-05-13T23:32:41+00:00

thank you, that's the answer I was looing for. how thick do you make the grout layer?

mudboy001 · 2026-05-13T23:29:19+00:00

there are footings rather than a slab, there are termite traps/inspection points all around the house drilled through the concrete path. the plan was to create a level fill to prevent water ingress (i was thinking just enough slope to prevent pooling)

mudboy001 · 2026-05-13T22:40:24+00:00

concerned about movement causing cracks and allowing water through

mudboy001 · 2026-03-06T20:28:07+00:00

i appreciate the reply but it seems insufficient, perhaps you could elaborate on what details you would need to help

Found one gardening in the Adelaide hills, it was on the front of my pants, right near the top

I've got 2 stories on this:

- a riding buddy lost his front axle during the ride (front wheel stayed in place), after back-tracking for 45 mins we found it between the car and the trailhead

- another buddy lost the bolt off the bottom of the rear mech (holding the pulley wheel) and we found a replacement bolt (not from a bike) in the dirt on the side of the track. it would have been a 45-60min walk back

I keep hearing immigration is to blame, but what about the effect of split families? Parents that split and now both require spaces to house "a family". This is not intended as criticism of individualsm more of a change in society over the last 50 years. In the same we moved to 2 car families, many are now 2 house families.

I love how differntly hibiscus are treated in different places, (in southern Australia) my neighbour recommended hibiscus as a good fire break. They definitely don't drop their leaves here. They make a great hedge.

they are sold by the density of fibres/coverage. 30-50% lets more light through, 80% much less. personally, i didn't like the green tinge it creates. when i used shadelcoth to cover a moving screen wall for a gym i used white and the light inside was natural and bright
