new floor filled with old brick & debris?

skippro — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 09:59:22 +0800

contractor say this is not unusual?? im doing extension of kitchen, so outer floor was lower (so need to make it higher to even out, if u get me) They hack the old wall etc, & they use broken wall brick old tile & other rubbish/dirt/worker spit as filler. Ewww. 'Con' traktor even say its better than using just sand. grrrrr. So my question is; is this usual practice & whether there would be problems in the future with this arrangement. if so, what is better to fill floor with? also if use contraktor method, will virus/bacteria seep up the floor tile??

Do you feel that Tmnet is throttling http?

skippro — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 23:48:06 +0800

Please try do download speed test at the following sites or others u like and post your speed result, location & comments. Thanks

1) http://download.com
2) http://ftp.science.nus.edu.sg/linux/ubuntu...esktop-i386.iso
3) http://download.openoffice.org/index.html
4) http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.h...=win&lang=en-US

For me all 4 sites above give speed less than 25kb/s. Downloading from adobe is slow too but i didnt put that up cos u need to signup before downloading. Apple.com trailers seems to be full speed. Download from yahoo slow as well.
