This is a great project for the “do-it-yourself” homeowner. A painted garage floor looks great and makes cleaning the garage much easier. It takes approximately three days to complete the project, less if the weather cooperates.&lt;BR&gt;Floor paint for heavy traffic and work areas should be selected with care. Epoxy paint has a hard finish and holds up well to heavy traffic. It comes in many different colors. It consists of an epoxy resin with a polyamine hardener. It is a two part mixture that must be mixed on the job just before application. Most epoxy paints have a short shelf life, meaning that there is a limited time between mixing and applying the paint. Most epoxy paint manufactures recommend that it be used within two hours after mixing.&lt;BR&gt;The critical step in painting the garage floor with epoxy paint is the cleaning process of the floor. The floor must be thoroughly cleaned of all grease and oil stains or the paint will not adhere to the surface. After a thorough cleaning the concrete must be etched with an acid solution. The best concrete etching solution is a 50/50 mixture of muriatic acid and water; however, there are other commercial products available. Etching the concrete will help remove any residual oil that is in the pours of the concrete.&lt;BR&gt;How to do it&lt;BR&gt;Remove all items from the garage including items that cover floor space that you want painted.&lt;BR&gt;Insure that the garage is fully ventilated&lt;BR&gt;Clean the floor by sweeping and scrubbing to remove all traces of dirt, grease, and oil.&lt;BR&gt;Fill any large cracks with concrete crack filler and let dry.&lt;BR&gt;Use a 50/50 mixture of muriatic acid and water or equivalent product to scrub the floor. Wear protective gloves, goggles, and a face mask during this step as the muriatic acid has a toxic odor and may be harmful to your skin.&lt;BR&gt;Let the floor dry thoroughly.&lt;BR&gt;Apply masking tape between the wall and the floor to avoid getting paint on the walls.&lt;BR&gt;Mix the two part epoxy paint according to the manufactures recommendations.&lt;BR&gt;Apply the paint with a roller covering the entire floor in one application. Use a brush in hard to get areas such as corners.&lt;BR&gt;Let dry for twenty four hours before moving items back into the garage.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Materials&lt;BR&gt;• Epoxy paint&lt;BR&gt;• Floor cleaner detergent / bleach&lt;BR&gt;• Concrete crack filler&lt;BR&gt;• Muriatic acid or equivalent for concrete etching and final cleaning &lt;BR&gt;Tools&lt;BR&gt;• Paint roller&lt;BR&gt;• Pressure washer for cleaning the floor&lt;BR&gt;• Safety goggles&lt;BR&gt;• Face mask&lt;BR&gt;• Rubber gloves&lt;BR&gt;• Stiff-bristled brush&lt;BR&gt;• Scraper&lt;BR&gt;• Paintbrush&lt;BR&gt;

They bring a natural warmth, good looks and elegance to any home, whether it is contemporary styled or traditional. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;New Wooden Windows &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Wooden replacement windows are a perfect option when existing windows are too damaged to repair. Oak or Cherry, light or dark stains are all choices that reflect the homeowners unique style while preserving the character of the home. Creating a cohesive period look is important for older, especially historic homes or new construction created in an historic style. Windows are a key element in maintaining the home's period integrity, original architecture and overall feel. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Easy Maintenance &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Today's wooden windows are easy to maintain and install. There are manufacturers in the market place offering convenient, pre-assembled units that arrive primed and pre-treated. Wood is also a natural insulator. Coupled with the correct type of weather stripping kit to prevent drafts, wooden windows play an important part in reducing the annual outgoings for heating and cooling your home. Naturally sound absorbent, outside noise is significantly reduced. Once installed, they can transform a home's exterior from rather bland to something special and filled with character. Windows that have been properly refurbished can provide the homeowner with an increase in their home's equity for less than the cost of new windows. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Reclaimed Wooden Windows &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Reduce, reclaim, and recycle. Use reclaimed wooden windows to help reduce your carbon footprint and decrease chemical emissions. There are numerous advantages to replacing older windows. They are thoroughly dry, which means there will be no shrinkage or cracking in the frames. Older windows that used old growth trees have tighter grains. This makes them denser and less susceptible to the elements than some younger trees. It avoids the unnecessary and unfortunate use of landfills, therefore helping to protect our environment. When properly protected by primer and paint, those 50 or 100 year-old windows will last another 100 years. Check your local area for vendors that buy and sell reclaimed windows. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The main reason that wooden windows are so in demand is that they are easily customisable. Arched windows or square, standard or special ordered, they can be created to meet the needs of any architectural style. If you are considering having windows especially made for your needs, make sure you understand which types of wood will be best for your purpose and environment. Hardwoods need less chemical treatments than softwoods. Kiln-dried timber is best used in dry, arid environments, whereas air-dried timber may be better utilised in regions that are humid, with higher precipitation. &lt;BR&gt;

For small area heating the space heater is the quick and easy way to add heat to your office or a small room at home. Space heaters come in so many different varieties and styles it is difficult to choose one. I saw no less than fifteen different types of space heaters on display in a home improvement supply center this week that included; radiant/convection, oil filled radiator, baseboard convection, tower convection, and low profile convection. Most had some sort of fan, an automatic shut off, and controlled by a digital thermostat. &lt;BR&gt;The small space heaters that have fans are the best for small spaces or to direct warm air to a single person work station. Most space heaters usually have a ceramic element that gets hot very quickly. The oscillating space heaters are not very good at heating spaces because the breeze will dry out a room very quickly. The dryer the room the cooler it will feel. The oscillating space heater tends to be noisy too.&lt;BR&gt;The reflector type space heaters have no moving parts, so they'll last longer, and are silent. Because they have no moving parts they are easy to repair. Essentially the heater consists of housing, a thermostat, and a nickel wire. The heating element gets very hot, and the reflectors are usually parabolic or u-shaped that allows aiming the heat in a straight line. They do get very hot so there is a risk in getting burned.&lt;BR&gt;Oil space heaters are cumbersome to work with as they require being filled with oil periodically. The heating element is at the bottom of the unit and as the oil heats up the heat is released into the room. There are no moving parts, so they'll last longer, and are silent. However, the radiator fins don't get very hot because of the large surface area, which make them safe. Over time they develop leaks that become a mess to deal with. Fixing a leaky oil space heater is problematic at best as they usually require soldering of the oil tank. The oil filled space heater is slow to heat up and is not very efficient.&lt;BR&gt;Mica panel heaters are the latest and best technology in space heaters. They are basically reflector heaters where a nickel wire provides the heat but the wire is wrapped in mica to form a panel that is attached to the radiator. They also have no moving parts, and are silent. They don't have as much surface area as the oil heater.&lt;BR&gt;My preference is the oscillating tower heater that includes a fan and two heating elements. They are slim line and look great in any office or in the home and are easy to repair. They are among the safest to operate and put out a lot of heat very quickly. The mica heater is also a great choice, but, despite the impressive appearance, they are like single-sided sheets of heat. The airflow is poor because it doesn't accommodate bottom-to-top convection currents.&lt;BR&gt;Before choosing a space heater for your home or work area, consider the safety hazards they may present and the energy they will require. Most apace heaters are not energy efficient and if not managed properly will cause an unexpected rise in utility cost. Always insure that space heaters are shut off before leaving the office or going to bed at night. Space heaters do offer a great way to heat a small space but if not managed properly can become a serious fire hazard. If you require extensive use of a space heater to maintain minimum comfort it may be time to review and upgrade the office or home heating system.

Most askers of this question are typically people who are considering installing the alarms for various reasons. One the reasons that push people to hysterically purchase and install burglar alarms is what can be termed as ‘increased crime publicity.’ This is where a number of one-off crime incidences are so widely reported that some people come to imagine that there is indeed a rise in crime rates in their areas; that they are under a real threat, and that they need to take measures to ‘protect themselves.’ Another reason that can push people almost desperately go looking to purchase burglar alarms is a real increase in crime – where besides sensational crime reporting – there is a clear trend of increase in crime, looking at statistics objectively. Yet another reason that can push people to go consider buying and installing burglar alarms – irrespective of crime trends – is when they are moving into new homes: seeing that the burglar alarms have come to be considered standard installations in modern homes. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So how much do burglar alarms really cost? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Well, the price of burglar alarms depends on a number of factors. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The first determinant of the cost of burglar alarms is their sophistication. As it turns out, some burglar alarms are extremely simple systems (systems that one could even develop for themselves). These can cost as little as tens of dollars. What we are looking at are simple wares that only make wailing sounds when faced with intrusion. Most are not programmable, and most work on the assumption that the burglar likely to target you is the unsophisticated variety. That is because the more knowledgeable variety of burglar is sure to know how to disable this type of burglar alarms. Yet these types of burglar alarms, while considerably simple and ‘vulnerable’ are still better than nothing. They make good installations where one is sure that the burglary threat they face is also relatively simple, or where that is the best one can afford anyway. At the other end of the spectrum are the highly sophisticated burglar alarms. These can be costly, running into hundreds and even thousands of dollars. Near-million dollar alarm systems, used in extremely sensitive installation are not unheard of either. These are usually programmable, so that their working can be adjusted in the face of various situations. Many not only detect burglary, but also take corrective measures against it: by for instance automatically calling the security agencies. For all this sophistication then, one doesn’t feel bad having to cough hundreds or even thousands of dollars. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The second determinant of the cost of burglar alarms is their installation mechanisms. It is worth noting that some burglar alarms that cost so little ultimately leave a huge dent in your pocket when you factor in installation costs: as they can only be installed by ‘specialists’ whose time doesn’t come cheap. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The third determinant of the cost of burglar alarms is where one is purchasing them from – as the systems cost considerably more in some parts of the world than in others. Sometimes, especially for the high end systems, local costs can be so high that it makes sense to directly order and import yours from the manufacturers.

We refill our water bottles instead of using disposable plastic. Recycling our newspapers and magazines is a must. Some of us are even trying composting to reduce our waste. If you are like most people, you want to make sure your choices in home remodeling are as green as possible. Of course, you also don't want to sacrifice your style either. So, what are the choices when it comes to replacing or installing new quality flooring? &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Cork flooring is an excellent choice for homeowners who want to balance their environmental concerns with great looking rooms. Why is cork an earth friendly material? The cork used to make this type of flooring is actually the bark from the cork tree. Removing the bark does not harm the tree and it will grow back again in about 10 years. That is much shorter than the time it takes for an oak tree to grow to a useful harvesting size. Most flooring manufacturers use cork that has been taken from trees in the Iberian Peninsula. These forests are government regulated which protects the trees from unsafe practices. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Installing cork flooring has more benefits than just environmental. This type of flooring is great looking. It comes in a variety of colors and styles to fit your home perfectly. Many people like to put cork flooring in their kitchens. For those who love to cook, having cork floors can make standing for long periods more comfortable as it has a cushiony feel that is good for your feet and joints. Cork is also a good choice for those who like to be in their bare feet. It doesn't get as cold as tile, marble or hardwood floors. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Having a cork floor is great for families. It is a low maintenance choice. Once it has been sealed, it requires very little care other than a quick wiping every so often. Cork is resistant to mold and mildew, which makes it perfect for crawling babies who like to play on the floor. Cork flooring is also very hard-wearing, so your kids won't damage it, even when they forget to take off the soccer cleats. If your house has some four-legged kids, otherwise known as pets, you will love the sturdy qualities of cork. As an added bonus, cork is great for dulling sounds, so your toddler's tantrum might not be quite so irritating in a room with cork flooring. What could be better than that? &lt;/P&gt;

Tiny bathrooms have been replaced by spacious bathroom suites. A beautiful well-appointed suite allows you to experience a spa-like feeling in the comfort and privacy of your own home. The popularity of larger bath areas is no longer just a trend. A wonderful service is to be able to choose not only your bathroom fixtures but also your bathroom furniture online. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A primary decision is what style best represent your likes and/or your personality. A modern design is sleek with an abundance of chrome. The elements, such as an acrylic or whirlpool tub, a duel flush close, cistern with chrome push buttons and pedestal basin exudes elegance and a classic sense of design. Complementary bathroom furniture in the modern bath would include either a black or white freestanding vanity unit, a wall hung basin or a mirror cabinet. . &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Perhaps you prefer more luxurious accommodations; the selection of imperial bathroom furnishings and accessories will certainly meet your needs. Imperial bathroom suites offer hand crafted furnishings that are unique and superior in quality and appearance. Combine a wonderful cast iron bath tub and Linea mirror with opaque glass with large basins and pedestals for a relaxing and indulgent area so suited for a lovely evening bath. Another choice in the imperial style incorporates chrome and all of its beauty. A roll top bath with chrome feet and a white basin in a chrome stand are among the bathroom furniture that is so visually attractive. Another outstanding piece to complement an imperial bathroom is a linen bin with solid wood construction in choice of wenge or natural oak. The front of the bin has a metal weave design that makes it a focal point in any room. In addition, many traditional pieces of furniture will coordinate with most design styles. The traditional style features hand-crafted pieces using solid wood and real wood veneer. These furnishings are quite durable and will work well in area with considerable traffic. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The ease of purchasing your bathroom foundation, furnishings and accessories is such a simple process. The dimensions are given for each item so you can plan your design. The convenience of shopping online is that you can shop when it is convenient for your schedule. Whether your style is modern, traditional or imperial, you will find exactly what you want.
