Improve The Look Of Your Home With Bay Windows

admin — Mon, 09 May 2011 17:46:37 +0000

It was the perfect spot. Our California ranch style house had a large picture window in the front room. The window extended from a few inches above the floor to only a few inches below the cathedral ceiling. The walls and ceiling were redwood stained knotty pine and the floor was a matching hardwood. The window looked out over a flower bed, shrubs and the expanse of front lawn. It was the perfect window to be replaced with a bay window. The window was nearly square. It was 72 X 72 inches. We considered a bow window, but elected to install a bay window instead. We just felt that our particular house looked better with three panel bay window rather than the multiple panel bow windows. Our intent was to fill the seat board of the bay with potted plants we had sitting in front of the current picture window. The new arrangement would give us a little more space in the room and improve the overall appearance of the house. It was time to go shopping.Scratch vs. Pre-builtWhen we first got the idea of installing the new window, I began gathering plans for building a bay window. Thumbing through books and magazines, and the Internet search engines, I found several plans for building a bay window from scratch. I also found that undertaking such a project was going to be unnecessary. Most of the major window manufacturers, such as Pella, Milgard and Anderson make both completely pre-assembled bay windows as well as pre-built components for bay windows. These days very few contractors will take on the project of building a bay or bow window from scratch. It simply isn’t practical when for the same or less money they can install a high quality pre-built window. If the contractors use pre-built windows or components for new house construction or renovation projects, then we could do the same for our remodeling project, we reasoned. Installing a bay window can easily be a do-it-yourselfer project. Before you go the diy route, however, you may want to line up a contractor to help out if necessary. This is not going to be a job that you can complete during a Saturday afternoon. Chances are you are not going to finish it in a weekend, for that matter. You are also going to want to line up some help. Bay windows and window components are heavy. At least they are too heavy for one person to manage. Be sure and check out the weather forecast, including the long range forecast. Installing the window means opening a hole into your home. It can take a couple of days to get the new window in place and sealed. The last thing you want is for rain to come pouring in on your floor, walls or furniture. Be sure and check your city or community construction codes. There may be special local requirements, such as having safety glass in low profile windows. You are probably going to need a building permit anyway, so that is also a good time to check the codes. Tools and Materials NeededThe tools you will need for this project include a tape measure, a framing square that you can also use as a straight edge, a circular saw or miter saw, crow bars, drill and bits, level, stapler, utility knife, tin snips and a caulking gun. The materials you will need include the bay window unit, the support brackets, nails, roofing paper, shingles, roofing nails, exterior grade silicone caulking and fiberglass insulation. You will also need 1X6 inch boards for the window skirting. If you are enlarging an existing window, or if you are installing the window in a space that was previously the wall, you will also need 2X4s for cripple studs and additional framing. Basic Installation Steps1.Establish window position in the wall. Remove the existing window. Measuring the bay window, mark on the exterior of the house the opening needed for the new window. Using your circular saw, cut the required opening.2.Framing. Build the framing for the new window. This will likely include cutting through existing studs and putting in a new header, rough sill, jack studs and cripple studs. 3.Install the support braces. A window up to five feet wide will take a minimum of two support braces. A wider window will need three. 4.Set the window in place. Lift the bay window on the support braces and slide it into the rough opening. Shim as necessary to level the window. Anchor in place.5.Build the window roof. Set the roof frame on top of the bay window unit and nail in place. Fill the space between the roof and the top of the bay window with insulation. Fasten the roof sheeting to the frame and cover with roofing paper. Install the drip edges and the flashing and then shingle. 6.Install the window skirting around the bottom of the window. Fill will insulation and then attach the skirt bottom to seal the underneath side of the window. 7.Seal the edges with silicone caulking. This is a list of the basic installation steps and they have been abbreviated in the interests of simplicity and space. The window unit you buy will have complete installation steps. Take it from the voice of experience; it really makes the project go much more smoothly and it will be completed in much less time when you read and follow them. In our case, I had two friends helping with the project. We have worked together on other projects and work together well. We had the old window out and the rough framing completed on Saturday afternoon. We buttoned up the hole with plywood overnight and went back to work the next day. By Sunday evening we had the new window installed and the roof and skirting completed. On Monday afternoon I finished sealing up the outside and completed the trim work for the inside. And, we were right. It was the perfect spot for a bay window. It looked great from the outside. Inside, it became the focal point of the room and added a special charm to the house. The window gave the house added character and value.When it came time to sell the house, it was one of the features that were particularly attractive to the buyers.

The Need For Power Tools In Home Improvement

admin — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 13:52:31 +0000

From Chicago and Cincinnati to Leeds and London, all who undertake home improvements, understand that power tools can make the job considerably easier. Having the rights tools is an essential part of any job; these tools can be power saws, pneumatic drills, grinders and sanders. The utilisation of power tools an mean the timescale of a job is considerably reduced and the effort involved can be decimated. But for those heading out to buy power tools the choice can be overwhelming, knowing exactly which tool to use can in fact be half the battle. Hopefully this article will help ‘DIYers’ make the right choice.
When looking at power tools it is important to understand your needs for the job, additionally it is worth weighing up how often you will use the tool as the expense can be considerable. Buying the cheapest model may suit the one time user, but if buying a tool for regular use, it is normally worth making the investment and forking out. Any handyman worth his weight has a collection of tools that will help get the job done, making sure that these tools are of high quality and are robust is an essential element in the decision making process.
Most important is to consider how the tool feels when in the hand. Tools should always be comfortable to hold; after all, most tasks require use over hours rather than minutes, being uncomfortable after an hour is simply not acceptable. Part of this comfort includes an assessment of controls; where they are located on the tool and how accessible they are. Ultimately the controls should be easily reached; this could be the speed settings or the off switch.
Fundamentally power tools fall into two distinct categories; stationary and portable. Portable tools can be anything from a pneumatic drill to a belt sander. Stationary tools are items such as large circular saws and lathes. Stationary tools are heavy duty and in most cases will be situated in a garage or workshop. Ultimately they are best used when the power from a portable device will not be sufficient, usually they run off mains electricity and hence have more wattage and more power. For both types of tools it is always important to consider quality, there are many poor items on the market, but by sticking to well known and trade used devices it should be possible to always have the right tools for the job.
As well as this classification, power tools can be chosen along the lines of the power source they utilise. Normally they will either be electronic or pneumatic and depending upon the uses both have suitable applications. Pneumatic tools such as air saws and nail guns are favoured by those in the construction industry as normally they will have greater level of power. For instance a pneumatic nail gun will be able to penetrate far sturdier materials than an electronic version. Pneumatic tools however will need a ready air supply, for big jobs a compressor can be used but for smaller models it is normally possible to buy pressurised cylinders that fit directly into the device.
Electric devices are usually more suited to home improvement tasks as the power required is normally less. They are also a cheaper alternative and suitable for most household tasks. Ranging from cordless drills to handheld circular saws and planers the varieties are diverse. Thankfully with the wealth of information available on the internet it is always possible to find the right tool for the job. As previously stated all over the world power tools are used for both home improvement and construction, in Berlin, Chicago, London and Tokyo the power tool industry is booming. For the discerning ‘DIYer’, nothing else will do.

Getting Started with Woodworking – Part 1 – Tools

admin — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 22:41:53 +0000

Introduction

So you are interested in woodworking, but don’t quite know how to get started? This multi-part series will help you to choose the right equipment and will show you how to get the skills you’ll need to be successful in this fun and exciting hobby.

In part 1 of our series, we’ll cover the basic tools you need to have before you can begin your first project. While there are many types of tools available at all different price points, this article will help you to understand the essential tools that you must have to get started. Later, as your skills improve, you may want to expand your inventory of tools, but these are the ones that you’ll definitely need to begin with.

Where to Buy Tools

Before we start describing tools that you’ll need, let’s discuss the best place to find tools. For the most part, the best place to get tools is the place that you have access to. If you are lucky enough to live in an area where there are many home improvement stores, hardware stores and/or woodworking supply shops, then you’ll want to choose the one that provides the most help for you. If your local home improvement center is staffed with knowledgeable and helpful people, then that is a great place to start with your tool selection. While you may pay a little more for a tool at a specialty woodworking store, the staff there are usually woodworking experts and the knowledge they provide can more than make up for any additional cost of the equipment.

If you have access to a local hardware store, start there when choosing your tools. A local resource can be invaluable when you have questions or get stuck on a project. If you don’t have a huge variety of stores close to you, don’t worry, you can get a ton of helpful information (and purchase tools) from the Internet. From your favorite search engine start with searching for “woodworking tools”. I found over 2,000,000 results when I searched that term. There are great online woodworking stores such as WoodCraft, Rockler, Micro-Mark and Highland Woodworking. Through the Internet you can also access the home improvement warehouses such as Lowes and Home Depot.

Tool Overview

Now that you have a good idea of where to purchase your first tools, let’s cover which ones you should start with. If you’ve ever watched a professional woodworker or seen a woodworking television program, you’ve likely seen all kinds of fancy (and expensive) power tools. Although these types of tools are very useful and can help make short work of a woodworking project, they are not required when getting started.

When you first start out, you’ll need to be able to do some basic things…. measure, cut and attach. Let’s review some small power tools and hand tool options that can assist us with these tasks:

Measuring

Cutting

Attaching / Assembling

Now that you’ve cut your wood pieces, you’ll need to put them together. There are many ways to assemble wood and each has it’s place. At a minimum, you’ll want the following:

Take your time and choose these tools for your workshop. Picking good quality tools will make your woodworking projects more enjoyable, safer and more fun. As your skills develop, you may want to expand your tool collection, but you’ll be able to build many, many projects with just the tools listed in this article.

Is it Easy to Create a Boat Design?

admin — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 19:46:26 +0000

People have this curiosity in them to know how hard it is to build a boat. It is necessary to know that there are different levels for building a boat, some are extremely easy and some are extremely difficult.

The first and foremost thing we check is the line of the boat. If the boat has a circular bottom than it would be a tough boat to build and it’s simply the other way around in case of flat curves.

I have purchased and reviwed many boating products,See what I have found out

The next thing we need to consider is the hull of the boat. We can use CAD that is Computer Aided Design to avoid any sort of incorrectness in the design. The moment we build everything in harmony with the drawing, the hull automatically would fall in place.

Now, if you want to build a modern boat, all you need to know is how to read a tape and make marks with pencils.

Next in line comes the skill of cutting a straight line with a handsaw. For this you can use circular saw, table mint saw, table saw, power mint saw and even radical arm saw. This job is not very tedious all you need to do is be a little careful while cutting.

You should also know how to use and set up a power plane, drawknife, hand plane and disk sander. This activity requires more of intuition than skill. Also drilling holes and using wireless screwdrivers should be your forte.

Finally what matters is how you blend the epoxy. Even this does not require much of skill just your capability of following directions. Epoxies should be blended in right proportions to heal appropriate with complete force.

This is all one needs to make your own boat. It might sound false but that’s actually about it. Now in the end one has to believe that there is nothing magical in building a boat.

Finally you must remember that decent boat design software helps you to build the boat of your dreams.

Probably the best idea is to get some sort of 3D boat design software that is affordable, easy and flexible to use and is suitable for anyone from the hobby model boat builder to professional mass ship producers.

Installing Recessed Ceiling Box Lights

admin — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 16:31:38 +0000

What do you need to install recessed ceiling box lights? You need 6 recessed can lights, two 4′x8′ sheets of birch plywood that are 3/4″ thick each, paint (e.g., Ace Sensations Ceiling White), a couple of ladders, skim coat, utility knife, tape measure, blue chalk and chalk line, reciprocal saw, pencil, stud finder, level, sander, table saw, circular saw, hammer, nails, and glue.

Select a spot on the ceiling where you want to position the recessed boxes. Take a chalk and mark the spot carefully with accurate measurements. Consider the distance from the wall lying parallel from the line you are drawing.

Next, create an inspection hole. An inspection hole is very crucial to see what is happening with the electric wires on the ceiling! Measure the section to be cut carefully and use a hammer to create the inspection hole. The opening has to be removed from the structure using a reciprocal saw. Take care when you are doing this task. Do not cut electric cables while doing this or you can cause serious trouble.

After you have cut out the rafters, place a frame at the ends. The opening is removed with the help of drywall. The centre portion has to withstand all the load. Are the cross beams concerning you? Do you want to get rid of them? Try using a hammer in this case. What do you do with the load that the beams supported all along? Place a double header at the end of the drywall to take care of the load, which can be a good option.

Use a table saw to cut pieces of plywood. To make the right shape on it, make measurements taking into consideration the shape and size of the recessed boxes. Dig holes for the recessed lights by using a sharp cutting instrument. You have to dig a minimum of one and a maximum of six holes. Fix the boxes inside the rafters to get a better effect. You can then put the can light above the boxes

Then comes the role of glue and nails. Use these to seal the boxes in the proper way. Smoothen the inside surfaces of walls using a sandpaper. Do it in circular movements so no nicks on the wood remain. You want to get rid of any nicks in the wood and make sure the surface is clean. Finish the job by applying paint on the ceiling and the boxes.

You work is done! Just wait for the paint to dry up. You can then place the lights into these recessed boxes and guess what? You are done! Wasn’t that easy? If you want to get comprehensive information about ceiling box lighting, you can refer to various online resources or even books available on these topics. If you do not have all the supplies needed, try to find the best deals online and get all the supplies at prices you can afford.

All power and no cable. My weedeater and a battery-operated saw, both during the implementation of the saw and death in the short term, a solid conductor weedeater 20-30 minutes before having to replace batteries. But six of them fully charged for each job. Sure beats gassed and plug in.

BuyingFirestorm 18 Volt 2-pack Fsx-treme Extended Run Time BatteriesGood batteries for the moneyI have just about all the B&D Firestorm 18 volt cordless tools and these batteries as well. Compared to other cordless powered tools, the overall value of these batteries is very good. They are easy to take on and off the tools and hold a charge very well. The only time I’ve run short using these batteries is with the circular saw and that has more to do with the fact that cordless circular saws in general use a lot more power than other cordless tools. Other tools such as the drill and reciprocating saw last a good amount of time on a single charge.

How To Install Formica Counter Tops
1) Get your surface ready for the laminate plastic
Use laminated plastic sheets that are 1/16″ thick and supposed to be used on a flat work area. Then you can put laminated plastic that is 1/32″ thick on the vertical surface.
Wash the area where the laminate will go and get rid of any paint before you put down the laminated plastic. Your countertops are usually made out of a high-density particle board. You could also choose regular particle board or plywood as well.
2) Cut the laminated plastic
You can use a circular saw, saber saw, backsaw, or knife to cut the plastic. Your saw should have a fine-tooth blade and a some masking tape needs to go where you are cutting so that it doesn’t chip and its easier to use. Cut from the back end of the plastic with your circular saw or saber saw. Make sure you do the cuts on the upstroke. If you cut from the back this will stop chipping. IF you use a hand saw then cut from the side with a low angle. Always make sure your plastic sheets are a bit large so you can trim later.
3) Laminated plastic application
Normally you can use cement to apply the laminated plastic. You can also try epoxy adhesives but cement is best. Use sandpaper to rough up the surface that you wish to cover. You will want to get rid of the leftover bits with a brush or air. Use caution when you are putting down the sheets. You should know that 50-75 percent of the bonding happens in the first push together. So this means the pieces should be aligned well before you stick them together. If you are putting the sheets on a vertical surface then you should put the glued sheets down without wooden strips or wax paper.
4) Finishing Up
Once the laminate is in the right spot you can get rid of each dowel rod at a time and bond the parts together. You will want to use a roller to put the right amount of pressure on the plastic. Roll the whole thing down very well so that there is no air left inside it and it is attached well in all spots. If you don’t have enough laminate for the project then you need to create a seam. You need to bond the big pieces together first. You can finish the edges off by cleaning the bottom of the router. Make sure that there is nothing stuck on it that could scratch up the plastic. Put the tape on the bottom to make sure this doesn’t happen. Get rid of any extra cement with a solvent. Use nail polish remover if you don’t have anything else.
