To make the end product water resistant, fireproof, and/or insect-proof chemicals are used including wax, dyes, wetting ag

Pile foundation is required when the soil bearing capacity is not sufficient for the structure to withstand. This is due to the soil condition or the order of bottom layers, type of loads on foundations, conditions at site and operational conditions. Many factors prevent the selection of surface foundation as a suitable foundation such as the nature of soil and intensity of loads, we use the piles when the soil have low bearing capacity or in building in water like bridges and dams A pile foundation consists of two components: Pile cap and single or group of piles. Piles transfers the loads from structures to the hard strata, rocks or soil with high bearing capacity. These are long and slender members whose length can be more than 15m. Piles can be made from concrete, wood or steel depending on the requirements. These piles are then driven, drilled or jacked into the ground and connected to pile caps. Pile foundation are classified based on material of pile construction, type o

Windstorms, a fallen branch or even wild animals can damage asphalt shingles. If you have the confidence to get up on your roof and work there safely, you can replace one or two asphalt shingles with ease. Getting on and off the roof is often the hardest part of the job. You don’t need expensive tools to replace an asphalt shingle. You don’t need lots of expensive products either. The best part is it usually just takes a few minutes to do the job once you’re on the roof and ready to go. You can watch a nice short video of me showing how to replace an asphalt shingle by going here: STEP ONE: Get up onto your roof in such a way as you can safely work on the sloped surface. Some single story houses have steeper roof pitches that permit you to place the extended ladder right on the roof surface so you stand on the ladder rungs while you work. If you do this, be sure the bottom of the ladder is staked off or tied with a rope so the bottom does not kick out while you’re up on the r

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are bearing down on you. Family is coming over. What about that cracked and crumbling grout in your bathroom or on your kitchen backsplash? No worries, I’m here to save the day for you! You can have great looking grout in just a few hours if you don’t have too much to do. Let’s get started now. STEP ONE: Gather the following tools. You’ll need a hard rubber float made especially for applying ceramic tile grout. You can find these at hardware stores, big box home centers and at Amazon.com. Get a special grout sponge while you’re at it. These sponges have rounded corners and edges. My favorite one measures about 7 x 5 x 2 inches. Do NOT use a sponge that has sharp 90-degree edges or corners.

Each day you've noticed your bathroom sink takes longer and longer to drain. Remember when the water used to race from the sink to the sewer and you'd hear that slurp sound as the last water races from the basin? In just a few minutes time and with a simple tool, you can get your bathroom sink drain back to its old self. I know, you're timid around plumbing and think that you'll ruin something or cause a leak. Don't worry, I've been a master plumber for nearly thirty-five years and will hold your hand through the process. These instructions are for most modern sinks that have a pull rod that's part of the faucet. This rod operates the sink stopper making it go up and down. Just about every bathroom sink has this type of mechanism. Let's get started. STEP ONE: Believe it or not, you'll just need one simple tool for this job, an adjustable pliers. A smaller one will do, it doesn't have to be a giant pair. It needs to adjust so it can grab

My guess is it's in your home. Not one place, but several. The first place I'd look if I was a guest is behind your shower curtain. Then maybe I'd look over your shoulder as you open your refrigerator. If I was an appliance repairman, I'll bet you've got it in your washing machine too. It's everywhere. It's mold. Mold comes in all sorts of varieties, but the most common one you might have is black mold. The spores that fuel mold growth are everywhere in your home. They're outside in your yard and on your deck. They're in your car. They're in your attic. Forget about trying to get rid of them. It's nearly impossible.
