How do you best remove tile grout and mortar from a concrete slab and are there any possible structural difficulties because it's in an apartment block?

Phosphoric Acid will do the trick, it etches the concrete and when it is cleaned away with plain water, it takes away the dirt and the other offending materials. Remember, this acid is strong and although it does not froth, it will do it's job, gently but, firmly. The longer you leave it, the harder it will work.


What is meant by the phrase one block of code can be nested in another?

It simply means one code block contains another code block. How you achieve this depends on the language, but in many languages we use opening and closing braces to define a code block. function foo () { // start of function block { // start of nested block // ... } // end of nested block } // end of function block Nested code blocks are typically used to define a new scope within an existing scope. Any variables declared within the nested block are local to the scope of that block and will fall from scope when we exit the nested block. This can be useful when we want to instantiate new variables within a larger scope but want to localise them to the code block that actually uses them. In some languages (such as C++) this also allows us to redefine names that were initially defined by the enclosing scope, temporarily hiding the original names from within the nested scope (only the local names are visible). When we exit the nested block, the original names become visible again. However, referring to two separate variables by the same name within two scopes of the same function can make code difficult to read, so this is best avoided.


What is the difference between a big block engine and a small block engine?

The difference is in the design of the head. Also due to the head design, the physical size of the motor is larger even if CID (displacement) is identical. The best visual example I can think of is Ford 351 windsor which was a small block: http://www.mustangsteve.comW351_65.jpg and a Ford 351 Cleveland which was a big block: http://thunder-performance.com/images/Tony\'s%20351%20Cleveland%20(1).JPG Generally you can tell the difference by looking at the valve covers. if they are long, narrow and rectangular, it's a small block. If they are fat squat and irregular shaped, you're looking at a big block. There are other differences too, for example bore and stroke. A small block generally has a shorter stroke and is thought to rev higher, whereas a big block has a longer stroke with more torque. There are other disputed difference between a small and a big block. And for the most part, you can simply tell by the displacement. Generally, anything larger than 366 CID is a big block.
