  • My approach would be to chip away any of the remaining substrate that might be loose, scrape it, pick it off, whatever. The goal would be to leave very solid material exposed.

    I don’t know the equivalent in Europe where you are, but in the US we have Tapcon screws. They come with a masonry drill bit that you would use to hammer-drill several holes along the exposed material. Then screw in the screws until the head of the screws protrudes an appropriate amount to leave room for whatever is needed above the screw head.

    These screws now act as a little rebars to support what you build on top. Looks to me like you might need concrete adhesive, little concrete nub mushed around the screw heads, thinset, then tile, then grout.

    Also at least here in the US we worry about asbestos. So I would definitely use a true respirator ventilation and filtration. Keeping things wet controls dust very well.













  • Imagine I give you $100,000 today, tomorrow and every day thereafter. How long until you get tired of getting $100,000 each day?

    After only a few days, most people’s financial problems would be solved. After ten days, you will have received 1 million dollars. After a few months, you will have been able to purchase anything you’ve ever dreamed of.

    How long, then, until money is meaningless to you?

    Do you know how long it takes to have received 1 billion dollars?

    27.4 years.

    27.4 years of receiving $100,000 every day. A billion dollars is 10,000 $100,000s.

    Some people have hundreds of billions of dollars. It is an astronomical number.

    You can’t imagine how much that amount of money changes a person. You will absolutely lose your mind and yourself.

    No one should ever even possess anywhere near that level of money. It’s way too much power.

    People conflate rich people with millionaires and casually lump billionaires in with that group.

    They are not the same. Billionaires are shells of humans, filled with the putrid sludge of a soul completely consumed by greed.

    Do not listen to them. Do not believe them. They only tell you things they want you to believe. They will take everything from you, including your life.
