The first step in building a deck is making certain that it is code compliant. You must obtain a permit from your local municipality's building department prior to construction. Building staff members will make certain your decks plans fall within building codes. In addition you may expect a local building inspector to visit your home several times during construction to make certain that building codes are being adhered to. Perhaps you have an older deck; one you built some time back or inherited with the purchase of...

Home Office Decorating Idea
Happily, many of today's furnishings have casters for mobility: Roll your desk beside the window when the roses are blooming, and move it closer toward the fire in winter. Rooms that spend a great deal of time empty, such as dining rooms, make natural offices. Claim the table as work central. When guests are due, tuck paperwork and files in baskets, in a closet, or behind cabinet doors. Designating one wall to hold gear frees up the rest of the space for other furnishings like chairs and a table for late-night dinners. Window treatments can be...
Home design interior for reales
In the past, living room or the parlor was the place with formal settings to welcome the honored guests. With times, it has evolved into a multifunctional room meant to welcome guests, sit and relax comfortably while reading a good book or watching TV, spend some time with the family, chat and gossip with friends and for entertainment. An extra large living room may accommodate a piano, eating area complete with dining table, tennis or billiard table or even a number of plants, if your living space receives lots of direct sunlight.

Home Dining Room Design
Well-planned dining room design is essential for the room to be its best. What you can do will depend heavily on the amount of space you start with. In a larger dining room, you have a lot more leeway as to where everything should go and what items should be included. Here, you've got the space for a buffet (when entertaining, probably the most convenient piece of furniture you can put in a dining room, other than a table and chairs). There's also room for a china cabinet, which will both look nice and be convenient for service as well...
Real Life on the home
This part of the project is one of the stages that's most gratifying because you get to see tangible results. You've lived through the digging and prep and now you see your addition start to take shape. It's also not that intrusive and you haven't hit the messy stages that come with drywall installation and sanding. Because this was an add-on to the existing house there wasn't too much disruption to our living area (except for our kitchen).Depending on the specific design of the addition the roof framing may be built from pre-assembled...
Remodeling home design
My wife, Cindy, and I have certainly thought about it. We've already accomplished a few minor upgrades on our 1965 suburban two-story. The most extensive was a remodel to the small first floor bathroom. All the changes so far have been within the confines of our existing space. But we've also talked about expanding, giving our family of five some additional space and room to grow. When friends of ours have taken the leap and decided to remodel, I've always watched and listened intently to see how their project progressed, taking mental...

Home Resale And Better Returns
If the words "home staging" aren't familiar to you, you're probably not in the real estate or interior design profession. Just what is home staging?

the property home

Architects Eager to Help Devastated Japan today
On March 30, architect Hisaya Sugiyama, head of Japan's chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), sent a detailed and captivating letter to AIA members. In it, Sugiyama, who is principal of Tokyo’s Quincy Studio, put forward specific ideas about how the county should rebuild, especially with regard to its school gyms, which are now sheltering many of the country’s 170,000 displaced residents. In those gyms, Sugiyama wants to add floors with radiant heat, insulation that can be removed from walls to double as bedding, and rings on...
Residential Address Presents a Challenge for Architects
These started to sell the idea of apartments to the English upper classes, who had always associated such arrangements with either poor people or, worse, continental foreigners. Indeed, for inspiration, Shaw visited Paris in 1879, bringing back the city's ideas about communal areas - grand lobbies and graduated staircases - and mixing them in his design with apartments more like a traditional London town house. This allowed the familiarity of split- level living, but it was still a fairly radical proposition, and the developer opted to build it...
Aesthetics And SOM's New Metra Station
Austerity-minded Metra officials stripped the design of its chief visual flourish, an elegant stainless steel railing. In the process, they destroyed the possibility that the station, which serves Metra's Rock Island District Line and was built using $6.8 million in federal stimulus funds, would match the design standards set by public works built during the Great Depression. At least the station does the urban design basics right. Conveniently located on the north side of 35th Street, it lets IIT students get from the station to their campus...
Revitalize Baltimore's Downtown
That is just one of several suggestions from the nonprofit, which seeks to promote and revitalize Baltimore's central business district. With the commercial vacancy rate downtown about 19 percent - and with plans for office districts on its periphery raising fears that even more commerce could be siphoned off - the Downtown Partnership's new strategic plan recommends several steps to keep downtown from stagnating further. Among them: The city should create a Tax Increment Finance, or TIF, district in the oldest parts of downtown to pay for capital...
Wrecking Ball to Swing on Given Institute
There were several failed attempts to save the building. Last fall, Aspen city council members rejected a proposal that would have allowed voters to decide whether the city should buy the Given for $15 million. Around the same time, an anonymous developer proposed building three spec homes on the property and selling the Given building to the city for $3.75 million. But the developer backed out after city officials rejected the plan in part because...
Construction associations praise
“The infrastructure dollars are still a commitment to infrastructure spending and an indicator of not taking the foot off the gas pedal,” said Clive Thurston, Ontario General Contractors Association (OGCA) president. “The three-year allocation is in line with what we were looking for.” The 2011 budget also confirmed $30 million over three years in funding for community demonstration programs, municipal water sustainability planning and support for education and public awareness of water conservation. The Ontario Sewer and Watermain Construction...
concrete pumps for damaged Fukushima nuclear reactor in Japan
The machines are now being retrofitted in South Carolina and California. That will allow them to spray water instead of concrete on the nuclear reactors, said Kelly Blickle, a spokeswoman at Putzmeister America Inc. in Wisconsin. The German firm manufactured the equipment. Initially, the machines would be used to shoot water on the reactor, Blickle says. But if a decision is made to encase a reactor in concrete — similar to a method used in the 1986 Chornobyl disaster — the machines would be capable of doing that as well, Blickle said. The firm...
housing complex
The corporation has told a security firm to deny all access to the site. “What is most alarming is that much of the failure in the concrete crawl space walls has occurred after residents were evacuated,” said Penner. “The stability of the concrete structures will deteriorate dramatically, as the spring thaw commences.” Fencing was put in place around seven condominium buildings and warning signs were prepared. About 300 people were evacuated from...
Heat and Water Meter
A Hot Water Meter - This measures the flow of liquid in the pipework. The meter would have a pulse output connected to the heat integrator or calculator. Thermocouples - Two Thermocouples would be used. One in the flow leg of the pipework measuring the hot water entering the loop. The other thermocouple would be in the return leg of the pipework measuring the temperature of the water after it had been through the loop of pipework being monitored. A Heat Integrator - This device calculates the amount of kWh consumed by the loop of pipework by...

From The death of architecture
British architects have become political and cultural punch-bags, and the Budget's "radically relaxed" planning rules in Enterprise Zones will batter them even more. Ruth Reed, president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (Riba), welcomes the Chancellor's proposal with a pathos-laden hope that the new rules will "protect the essential requirements of sustainability and good design". George Osborne's "gift" to enterprise, and Ms Reed's painfully dutiful response to it, highlights the fact that the architectural profession is riven by confusion....

Housing Re-alignment Bureau
The irony is that some of the private companies that provide more efficient services (at a high premium, of course) are owned by the very government employees in charge of the national service providers that have failed to perform effectively. But that is a topic for another day. Now, if the government has failed to fix pot holes – let alone construct the necessary infrastructure that would ease traffic congestion in the city like fly-over bridges, by-passes other than just the northern by-pass that has completion issues of its own, etc – then...
Archbishop Lwanga got it wrong on Buganda
The sermon that Dr Lwanga never gave was that had we a more prudent government, the Shs500 billion lost annually to corruption would help prop schools that once were the shining stars—and not the ruins of the former selves as we know them today. That then parents would not shun Tororo College or St. Joseph’s, Ombaci or Nyakasura School, to flood children to Kitende or Namugongo. In doing this, Lwanga would make it clear that it is not just a Buganda question that is unsolved; it is a national leadership question. Maybe then, rather than rally to...
How Uganda Cranes can qualify for Gabon 2012
The group winner will qualify automatically while the two best runners -up from all the 11 groups also have a chance to join the exclusive party. So, shall we make it this time, having been so close yet coming painfully short year after year? “Only God knows,” is what even the most optimistic Ugandan fan can say. However, apart from prayers, there are things that I think, must be done. First, get the money in. In this day and age, succeeding in football is about availability of funds. Let the administrators make marketing the Cranes a top priority....
