Would have looked even better with one of David's cars there 😉

Usually one right angle which fits on the back of the appliance.

Susie and David, That is coming along really well. Well done with the wet room and kitchen - both looking very nice. Susie, take care of yourself and don't rush back into it if you're not fully fit. Get well soon.

Clarifying. The "wall" was dryer than standard. Then he upped the water to get to right mix. Levelling the "wall" was hard work in the heat, but it has all set off well and no cracks (that i can see throught the current muddy puddle!!) See above about my want for level. Its not got to be billiard table, but better than it is.

Bump - anyone provide an insight? TIA

Back to the garage floor. It got poured direct from the truck on a relatively warm day (down here) of 28C. The driver poured a dryish mix "wall" about 2m out from one corner, then upped the water, and we got a wet mix that flowed better to the far corner about another 5m further away. Once poured, spread and tamped, we covered it with plastic sheet to slow the curing. This worked and has left a lovely pattern all over the floor. At some point I will hire a grinder and flatten out the pattern. However, we've had rain since then, and as it has dried out the inevitable low spots are evident. Weirdly its lowest at the side closest to where the concrete truck was when it poured. What is a bit galling is the fact its about 25-30mm lower than the high point (eyeballed, not measured, but I have a very good laser eye). Overall there is about 15m2 that is low. Assume I'm going the epoxy floor route. What is the best approach (most DIYable) to getting a reasonably level floor to start?

@Susie, I've been in that garage 🙂 I should have paid more attention to the floor, and not the cars 🙂

You've missed the point of what was being proposed (not by me I should point out - refer to post). You imply there would be multiple taxes. One single rate, applied in different ways. Income tax, Sales Tax, Profits Tax etc, etc, etc. If its a sales tax, yes. Every business, no threshold. You wouldn't With no threshold, this is a moot point. What would the single rate be? Variable from year to year. One calculation showed a rate of only 12% was viable for one of the countries my friend consulted on. One of the suggestions was holding referenda for certain capital investment when such things are required

Tax does not have to be complicated. Everything at the same rate, applied to what you want to tax. A friend of mine worked for The Treasury years ago, and became a consultant on their behalf to new and emerging nations (think ex Yugoslav etc.). The main push was to encourage a simple tax regime to minimise bureaucracy, evasion and avoidance. Basically it was "we made these mistakes, learn from ours, don't make your own". I asked why we weren't working towards correcting our own mistakes. "We'd need an autocracy to be able to do that".

Don't go into business without a very good accountant 😀

This might do the job but there is an ambiguous picture in the listing. The phone call is needed to clarify whether it will work before forking out a sh1t load of wonga https://www.drainagesuperstore.co.uk/product/accesso-ic160-600mm-reduction-cap-350mm-circular-access.html

@Mike, either would do, as long as there is some reduced diameter riser before the cover goes on

Talk to someone. That's a radical solution. Hope I'm not met by a bot!! 😉

Mike, the 600mm Risers are already there 😀 Thats what I want to reduce from
