Windstorm Damage – Why Buildings Fail

by Mary Smith

A building “envelope” consists of windows, doors, walls and a roof. When a building envelope begins to break down due to high winds, damage to the building increases dramatically. This process begins when a component or connection fails, and the air pressure within the building increases. When combined with other forces, this internal pressure can lift the roof from the building. Rain and wind can then enter the building and continued strong winds can cause the frame of the building to fail.

How To Brighten Your Backyard Garden Pond

by Thomas Fryd

Years ago, I met a lady that had built her own water garden in her backyard. It was beautiful, and she poured a lot of time and effort into this project, moving rocks and debris, digging a gigantic hole, planting water plants and making a careful selection of koi fish to complete her pond.

It took three months of hard labor, but once she was done, she hosted a party to show off her beautiful water garden. Just as the sun was setting, a wondrous array of colored lights were floating above the top of the water. It was breathtaking and the perfect addition to her backyard masterpiece.

Leave Grout Cleaning to the Pros

by Sam Weyland

Grout cleaning is not as easy as grabbing a mop and cleaning your floor willy-nilly. Try this, and you may be able to clean up the tiles a bit, but will most likely not even remove the grout in between tiles. This may not seem like a big deal, but the accumulated dirt in your grout has been known to induce tiredness. Moving from the restroom back to your office desk is tiring because of unclean grout.

How to Make the Perfect Garage Door Choice

by Harry Swinger

The nowadays garage doors are completely different from the ones that were in vogue 50 years ago. This is not related to the cars size, but to the evolution of technology when it comes to construction materials and to automation devices. Automatic openers just made our lives easier as drivers and not only. Do you remember the times when you had to touch a button on the TV set to switch it on and off?
