<br />
She is God-fearing, calm, helpful, strong, kind, very caring, very loving and most of all, determined. She is also observant, loyal, intuitive and conservative. She will not trust a person directly at first meet, one should earn it in order to have her trust.<br />
<br />
She is down-to-earth, patient and responsible. She is accommodating and treats every encounter with much importance.<br />
<br />
She is very cautious in nature and do not rush on things directly. She thinks many times before she decides for she wants firm assurance that what she wants, she gets it in a good way.<br />
<br />
She has a high sense of self-worth whom she relies on and she is confident with it. She always finds meaning in life that she takes much appreciation in everything she does and she is forever thankful to God for it.<br />
<br />
She is elegantly the way she is, a glamorously beautiful woman with a wit and has a strong appeal of magnetic force that is in her, that one can not fanthom how she does or have it. She does not dwell too much on others when one hurts her, rather she prays them over to God. Her perseverance and "willing heart" are the dominant signatures of her personality. She is like a "wake-up call" to those who does not know God for she will lead you closer to God everyday.<br />
<br />
She is just so lovely, tranquil, angelic and a wonderful person in and out for she always make her every encounter special once trust is earned.<br />
<br />
She does not quit, rather she finds means in order to solve a problem. Her elegance, grace and great smiles defines her being a "fighter".<br />
<br />
The person who extraordinarily introduces me to the world of full of optimism is no other than my ever dearest friend, adviser and great listener at all times ---- Janette Telimban, RN.<br />
<br />
And now, this wonderful woman who is forever admirable is now in the loving arms of "Papa P" who is indeed very "lucky" and even the "luckiest" for he has a very beautiful "Janette" who will walk with him in God and who can spend life with him fruitfully and prayerfully. Now hear him say:<br />

Dear Janette,<br />
Thank you very, very much. That is what I always wanted to tell you. You have been my witness of all my life's stories, through my ups and even more to my downs. You have been my "listening ear" when I am in doubts and confused on what to do. And you never shun to to extend your open arms in advicing me on what to do, even to the point of always sheltering me with prayers.<br />
<br />
Thank you for the "pray over" that we, two, ask in prayers all that we want to God for guidance, protection and more blessings. Thank you very much for the kind of person you are for making me always believe that there is great "hope" even at times when I feel like the world keeps on pressing me down. Thank you very much for wiping my tears and putting me in the path of reality that indeed life displays no walls, but in sacrificing, I am able to go on to wait for the sun to shine, bringing its good news and to let the good tidings of the wind to blow all my pains away. Thank you for the moment that I was able to share all my fears, worries, sadness and aches that out from this messy world, I come to know my strength that I can independently survive and that I can say that "I can" and not "I can not".<br />
<br />
Thank you very much that for every person you encounter, you let us know about God and His great love for all of us. You made me realize that I will not depend on my know-how, but at all sorts, putting my trust to the "Almighty Father" what makes life worth living for.<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for your "helpful heart" that never selects to reach out to people especially those who needs your help. Thank you for making me elegant at the "grandest" moment of my life where there are countless crowds counting on my talent on stage. They just do not know that you were the "silent make-up artist" on that success of my life.<br />
<br />
I thank God for letting me encounter such a glamorous person and ever humble person and top the list, the most prayerful YOU.<br />
<br />
I have learned a lot from you and I will not forget that on my success of passing the NLE, you were the ones I run for help. Thank you very much.<br />
<br />
I now understand why God lets me encounter such a person like you ---- to let me tighten more my encounter with Him and to find hope out from life's whirlwind challenges each day of my life. I, thank you.<br />
<br />
Thank you too to your "other-half", Papa P, HH (Ephraim Afable) for I find also my home to the both of you. I love you both. :-)<br />
<br />
Thank you, Jan. I love you and Happy Birthday!!!<br />
<br />
Thank you for all these memories... :-)<br />

<br />
January 01, 2017, this very exact date sets the happiest moment of this "gorgeous" and "beautiful" woman as she celebrate her "Happy Birthday".<br />
<br />
We cross each other's path and became friends way back 2012 of June in our tertiary years and she is a part of our so-called "G-Force Family".<br />
<br />
This "strong" woman is ever firm in her decisions, finds meaning in life amidst its ups and downs and creatively tops "fashion" at any sorts. At first, one thinks twice of approaching her for she is so quiet, but when you carry first a conversation with her, she is extremely will ride on. On the other hand, she doesn't quit in life and in fact, she finds ways and means how to solve life's problems. She always thinks of her family and thier welfare. Her perseverance makes her extraordinarily wonderful for she has her own ways of dealing on things. And that sucesses in her life now, she really nailed it.<br />
<br />
I can freshly remember those times that we sat together as she shares her problems/life's story. And I can say, she's one of the "bravest" woman I know for she never surrender to follow her dreams and look at her now, she is even a "Registered Nurse". All her hardships are paid off.<br />
<br />
Her beauty brings out her good personality. She simply has her own style in dealing with things and one will be amazed to find out, discovering that out from her being simple lies the spirit of a "girl power". She is indeed optimistic to face countless challenges in her life no matter how heavy the depths of that weight are.<br />
<br />
She is simple, understanding, kind, caring, creative, mellow and cool, flexible and beautiful. She is adaptable, diligent, independent, inventive, patient, reserved, versatile and warm-hearted. She always makes every encounter comfortable. Her wonderful smile and her "twinkling" eyes speak what her inner self has in store for all of us. This "amazing" person who is "confidently beautiful with a heart" is celebrating her BIG Birthday, today, is no other than one of our G-Force family - Marry-An Morales, RN.<br />
<br />
We love you, An! Extended greetings are from:<br />
<br />
An<br />

Dear An,<br />
God has always been so greatful to let us encounter people we meet each day. You are one of those whose purpose made me realize that indeed life is so wonderful to live with friends. Thank you for the opportunity to walk with me as I journey through this life. Thank you for being my "listening ear" everytime I feel that the world is against me. Thank you for the advices and the concern. Thank you for one of those persons whom I entrusted to open up my life story. The road of life is not sweet, but I know you can better kick off all those unwanted trials that harm your state of balance with your bravery and perseverance. I have known all your sacrifices and I have felt what is truly in your heart. I salute you for taking the lead to look over the welfare of your family and to stood for them even at the turmoultous times of need. Now, that another year adds up to your growth, I wish you all the best --- happiness, good health and bountiful blessings. I love you and Happy Birthday! --- Ate Arleen ----Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-81905424503116608552016-12-22T08:11:00.000-08:002016-12-22T08:28:39.042-08:00Happy Birthday Tetet! It was 19th of March 2016 at Ton Ton's "Thanksgiving Party" that we first met you. All of us were actually quite timid to approach you (a typical reaction of seeing a person for the first time) because we do not actually know how to carry a conversation with you probably because we are so much conscious of our English (nosebleeding syndrome). But luckily, we survived to commune with you. Knowing you, we discovered that you are indeed a very "cool" person. You can get along with us easily, without shyness and so friendship was built. <br />

Your stay here in the Philippines is just limited and we pretty understand on that moment that sooner or later, you will go back home. But through those times, we have shared the kind of friendship that seems we are friends for a long time even before we met. And now, you are absolutely part of the Family, the Gorgeous-Force (G-Force) Family. Your time spent with us are full of fun, smiles, laughters, happiness and nothing but merely enjoyment all day long. No one can stole that moment from us. <br />
<br />
Remember the time that we had the "Spin-the-Bottle" activity, that was indeed a blast! Our encounter with you heightened and deepened as each of us discover our individual differences and struggles through that "memorable" game. <br />
<br />
Remember your <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: blue;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">first</span></strong>...</span></span><br />
<strong>Cake</strong> with us and the native bracelet as remembrance <br />

They are conscious on what to eat, what to drink or what to do in order to attain good health. Others expels out sweat to exercise. But in reality, no matter how people eagerly hope to reside in a healthy lifestyle, still it is quite "impossible" to attain the equilibrium.<br />

I am in the verge of wanting to do something, but my body clamors rest. My mind tells me to do this and that, but I just can't. Hate to equate this as fever and colds.

<br />
Getting the opportunity to be with my friends is always a wonderful experience for I come know how they are doing. We crossed each other's path way back 2012 when we were still schooling in our tertiary years and now, most of us already graduated and have jobs. It is so nice to know how we personally grow fruitfully, individually. That is why, countless chats of shared experiences fills the four corners of the room and I am loving it.<br />
<br />
December 20, 2016 is one of the special day for me because I am extra glad to see them. Smiles, laughters, "His or Hellos" are unstoppable and indeed unbreakable. There are so much that we have talked and learning from that experience gloriously gladdens my heart. It is good to hear that they are pretty much okay.<br />
<br />
The essence of the Christmas party is the "togetherness" of having each other. Though the gifts and the food are always part of the main event, but the highlight are the happiness on each of our face that reaches even on the other side of the globe, and for me, that is priceless.<br />
<br />
Creating memories with friends are the ones I hold on living and cherishing as long as I live. They are my family and I love them dearly. In totality, they are the best gift that is happening also in my life. That is why, Christmas is absolutely best when shared with the people we love and I just did.<br />

The health of the family depends on the home and how each of the furniture serves comfort as the main priority for family members to move with delight.<br /><br />One of the main focus of a home is to consider the space and how large the number of member living in it. In this way, it is then easy to place furniture in their proper arrangement and setting.<br /><br />It is required that you should allow 48 to 100 inches between the side chairs and sofa, but if you want a closer distance and if you are comfortable with that space, then move closer. The use of coffee table in front of the sofa requires 14 to 18 inches but if you have short arms of legs, you can adjust the table. On the other hand, for television watching, it should be placed at 3 times the size of the screen. But in terms of big screens, 3 times the size of the screen should be in the next room. Three feet of space is recommended for traffic lanes. But if you have large family members or lots of kids, it is recommended to allow extra foot for safety for your furniture and for your family members. Furthermore, an average adult needs a depth of 20 inches for a dining room chair, plus 16 inches to scoot back the chair back from the table. At the dining table, you should allow 24 inches per person or more. If your family tends to gesture as they eat, allow another 6 inches. Moreover, in order to serve your guests, allow 46 inches between the wall and the dining table. But or ideal bed placement, allow at least 24 inches between the bed and the wall to get out of bed comfortably and allow 36 inches between the end of the bed and the bedroom or bathroom door.<br /><br />This healthy home tips adds happiness to your living as all share spaces in moving and coming in and out of those spaces. This gives members and guests the direct movements as they collaborate to give and take.<br />For technologies</div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-52954402325767087702010-05-29T19:32:00.000-07:002010-05-29T19:42:15.482-07:00My cat needs a house.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YPb4LhLMG9Q/TAHQbPkpkvI/AAAAAAAAADA/AzL8tpnWL-k/s1600/New+Picture.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_YPb4LhLMG9Q/TAHQbPkpkvI/AAAAAAAAADA/AzL8tpnWL-k/s320/New+Picture.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5476887788314530546" border="0" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">I love my cat and because I love him so much, he is very spoiled.

This built-up roofing is often topped with a protective covering of gravel, pebbles or marble chips, or with a final layer of mineral-surfaces roll roofing; the light-colored stones or minerals help reflect the sunβs rays from the dark, heat-absorbent surface.<br /><br />A built-up roof should last from 10 to 20 years, before the sunβs heat dries out the tar or asphalt and cracks develop over the entire surface. You can extend its life considerably by coating it with an asphalt-aluminum roof paint that shows the drying process and forms a stronger and more reflective surface.<br /><br />When the roof does eventually fail, do not try to replace it yourself- that job calls for special equipment and the expertise of a professional roofer. But you can and should repair minor damages. Inspect the roof at least once a year for blisters, cracks, tears and storm damage. Blisters, which indicate the underlying layers of from the wood sheathing, should be treated immediately before they break open and admit rain water.<br /><br />As you treat a blister, examine its interior. If it is dry, the blister is probably caused by poorly adhering or dried-out asphalt cement, and a simple patch can be an adequate repair. Interior moisture is a design that water has leaked into the roofing and seeped along the sheathing to a point underneath the blister. Locate the point of leakage β possibly in losses flashings at adjoining walls or around chimneys and vent pipes. It a substantial amount of water has penetrated the roofing, causing a large section to buckle or blister, cut out and patch the entire area.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-10771060395777580152010-05-28T03:51:00.000-07:002010-05-28T03:52:32.970-07:00Insulating a Finished AtticInsulating a finished attic is no more complicated than working in an unfinished one, except for getting to the places you must insulate. You will have to cut out passageways in the ceiling and side βor knee β walls.<br /><br />Once you have gained access thought the knee walls to the outer unfinished attic floor, you insulate for unfinished attic floors. Batts also are installed behind knee walls and on top of the level ceiling. Batts cannot be used for the sloping sections of ceilings because roofing nails are likely to rip them. Instead, throw loose fill into this space from above the flat ceiling. This can only be done after installing the batts behind the knee wall so the tops of the batts will keep the loose fill from falling behind the knee wall. If your attic space is too small to maneuver in, blow in loose fill.<br /><br />A well insulated attic room.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Batts should be installed in all the outer attic space you can get to: above the flat attic ceiling, behind the low knee walls, and between the joists of the attic floor beyond the knee walls. Then loose fill can be dropped down the hard-to-reach sloped ceiling. Unless you left passageways to the outer attic when you finished the room, cut access panels on the ceiling and knee walls.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-26248909687696967042010-05-24T20:36:00.001-07:002010-05-24T20:38:40.960-07:00Where to insulate a house?<div style="text-align: justify;">Houses come in infinitude of shapes and sizes, but all of them incorporate some of the elements of the dwelling at right. The overall rule in insulating a house is simple: insulation should be present at any surface separating living spaces form unheated areas, since that is where heat loss occurs β and also where the sunβs heat can make unwelcome entry in the summer. All exterior walls should be insulated, not neglecting any wall of a split-level house that rises above an adjacent roof. Any wall between a heated room and unheated area such as a garage, utility room or open porch also demands insulation, as do floors separating living spaces from such unheated areas. And do not overlook the overhanging portion of a room cantilevered out from the rest of the house.<br /><br />If the house has unheated cellar or crawl space, the floors above must be insulated. In the case of a finished basement, the below-ground walls require insulation. Similarly, the floor of an unheated attic calls for insulation, whereas finished room in a heated attic must have an insulated ceiling and knee walls as well as production for the ceilings and walls of all dormers.</div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-45071194257107331182010-05-22T18:28:00.001-07:002010-05-22T18:28:32.215-07:00The Dos and Donβts in Roofing Work<div style="text-align: justify;">Working on a pitched roof is potentially dangerous, if you fear heights or if your roof is steeply pitched, the job is best left to a professional. But you can make repairs safely by taking these common-sense precautions.<br /><br />Never work in wet, windy or cold weather. Roofing materials can become dangerously slippery when wet, and asphalt shingles are brittle when cold, crumbling underfoot.<br /><br />Wear sneakers or shoes that have slip-resistant soels, and choose loose-fitting clothes so that you can move about freely.<br /><br />Use an access ladder that extends above the eave so that you need never step over the top of the ladder. Keep your hips between the rails as you climb, and never lean over the side of the ladder to work on the roof.<br /><br />Enlist a helper to steady the ladder as you climb and to feed you tools and materials once you are up there.<br /><br />On a steep roof, use a roofing ladder with wood or metal brackets that hook over the roof ridge. These ladders not only provide secure hand and footholds, but distribute your weight over the shingles. On brittle roofing materials such as slate, tile or asbestos use a βchicken ladderβ, a 1-by-12-inch board with 1-by-2-inch horizontal wood cleats.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-139752699606120902010-05-19T02:28:00.001-07:002010-05-19T02:28:41.612-07:00Installing Sweeps<div style="text-align: justify;">I do these two main things when installing sweeps. First, you have to cup sweep to door width and screw it across the bottom edge on the outdoor side so it fits snugly against the threshold when the door is shut, yet allows the door to open and close smoothly. Most sweeps have slots, so positioning is easily adjusted. Second, you have to adjust the width of the sweep to the thickness of your door by slipping the movable piece into the appropriate groove on the channel base. Cut the sweep to the width of the door. The swing the door open and slide the sweep under the bottom of the door. Close the door, let the sweep drop against the threshold, then drive the attachment screws in their slots partway. Adjust positioning initial the sweep drop is snug, but not so tight that the door will not work smoothly. Tighten the screws.<br /><br />With these two simple steps in installing sweeps, I make it sure that my house will be protected against leaks.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-67907323676968504082010-05-01T00:27:00.000-07:002010-05-01T00:38:23.078-07:00Using a caulking gun<div style="text-align: justify;">Hold the gun at a 45 degree angle to the surface and squeeze the trigger with a steady pressure. Keep the gun slightly slanted in the direction your are moving and draw it along slowly so that the sealant not only fills the crack but also overlaps the edges.<br /><br />To get a smooth bead, fill a single seam in one stroke if you can. Pressure inside the cartridge will keep pushing out the sealant after you release the trigger; to avoid getting a lumpy bead, where several strokes and continue to move the gun as you slowly squeeze the trigger for the next stroke. When you want to stop the flow of sealant altogether, disengage the trigger by turning the plunger so that the teeth point upward and then pull the rod back an inch or so.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-12393586014889391272010-04-17T23:28:00.000-07:002010-04-17T23:36:43.194-07:00Exterior Waterproofing<div style="text-align: justify;">If simple remedies, such as grading surface soil or patching interior walls, fail to cure a wet basement, you must block moisture outside the basement wall. No amount of interior patching will stop penetration caused by the power of substantial subsurface water pressure, nor will it plug leaks through cracks opened when the roots of a tree penetrate.<br /><br />To waterproof a basement wall from the outside, you must excavate at least part of the foundation of the house, a heavy job you may want to have done. You also may prefer hiring a professional if basement walls must be resurfaced with concrete. But the rest of the job is fairly simple to do yourself.<br /><br />Some cracks are shallow enough to block by simply excavating the upper part of the basement wall to a depth of about 2 feet and waterproofing with asphalt foundation coating and polyethylene plastic sheeting. If the leak is lower down, there is no alternative to excavating the entire basement wall down to the footing. Once the digging is dine, you should waterproof the wall with concrete and also lay drain tiles, which collect subsurface water and carry it away from the house. The tiles - made like storm-sewer piping, but generally perforated - are available in several materials in various lengths with connectors and elbow fittings. Tiles that are asphalt impregnated and rigid plastic types are the easiest to use.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-20563134485044054492010-04-05T01:42:00.000-07:002010-04-17T23:28:09.253-07:00Weather-stripping Doors<div style="text-align: justify;">The big leak in most houses are around doors. They lack the twofold edge enclosures of double-hung windows, so an open crack is inevitable. Any of various type of weather stripping can fill the crack, but it can't do so effectively unless the door fits properly. If weather stripping is attached to a binding door, it may make the door impossible to open or close. So the first step in weather-proofing a door is to adjust hinges, and sand or place edges until it opens and closes smoothly, leaving a narrow, uniform space between edge and jamb.<br /><br />Generally, you can see how the door fits by looking at the edges all around. To find invisible binds, slide thin cardboard between the closed door and the jamb, or rub colored chalk on the door edge - it will rub off on the jamb at binds.<br /><br />Most often a door sticks because loosened hinge screws made it sag. Tighten the screws. If the screws will not hold, replace them with longer ones or stuff the screw holes with toothpicks. If screw-tightening does not solve the problem, try shifting the door by spacing hinge leaves with thin material or plane off the door edge at the binds. If the entire latch side binds, remove the door and plane the hinge side - so you will have to move the lock - then reset the hinges.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-23844528926755335892010-04-03T01:02:00.000-07:002010-04-03T01:08:15.612-07:00Sealants<div style="text-align: justify;">Most of the newer and more efficient sealants are usually applied with a caulking gun. The most popular type uses individual <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">cartridges</span> that are thrown away when empty. Getting a smooth flow of sealant - a proper bead - may require practice. So if you are doing the hob for the first time, make a few trial strokes.<br /><br />While a caulking gun is best for most jobs, some <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">small</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">repairs</span> are more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">conveniently</span> done in other ways: caulks that are squeezed like toothpaste from a collapsible <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">tube</span> glazing compound that is pressed into cracks with your fingers, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ropelike</span> strands that are pushed into place and filler that must be tamped into openings. Whatever you use, thoroughly clean the area around a crack, removing old sealant and chipped paint with a wood chisel or <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">puttyknife</span>. Wipe the crack with turpentine, the use a stiff brush to get rid of remaining dirt. Do not try to caulk when temperatures are below 50 degrees <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Fahrenheit</span> - the sealant will be too hard to handle easily and it will not stick to the cold surfaces.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-21805190856257154732010-03-25T19:14:00.000-07:002010-03-25T19:19:16.727-07:00Weatherproofing gliding windows<div style="text-align: justify;">Most new types of wood gliding windows come with weather stripping built in between the frame and the sash. Older types, however, may need sealing. If both sashes move, treat the windows as if it were a double-hung window tuned on its side.<br /><br />For windows with one gliding sash, treat only the movable part. Install a strip of spring metal in the side channel that receives the movable sash, lining up the nailing flange along the inside edge. Then nail vinyl or rubber gasket along the exterior top bottom and outer edges of the gliding sash. The outer strip will fit snugly against the rail of the inside sash where the window sections meet.<br /><br />Most metal gliding windows have rubber weather stripping in the tracks of each sash but, like wood gliders, should be sealed where the sashes meet. Attach the gasket with vinyl-to-metal adhesive.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-62226173165663212010-03-25T00:02:00.000-07:002010-03-25T00:05:50.980-07:00Sealing wood casements.<div style="text-align: justify;">Many new styles of wood casements have their own built-in-weather-proofing. If yours do not, nail spring metal stripping to the frame. For casements that open outward, the railing flange should be placed along the outside edge of the frame. Reverse the position of the nailing flange for windows that open inward.<br /><br />You can also install felt or adhesive-backed foam stripping on the inside of the frame, but such material tend to loosen after a few months of frequent opening and closing of the windows.<br /><br />These same procedures apply to awning-type windows which are really sidewise casements.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-70605730640143062342010-03-24T01:29:00.000-07:002010-03-24T01:34:31.853-07:00Installing Weatherproof Thresholds<div style="text-align: justify;">Installing weatherproof thresholds are just 3 steps away:<br /><br />First, shield the floor or carpet around the door with pieces of cardboard secured by masking tape. Try to remove the threshold with a pry bar. If it does not lift up easily, cut through at each end with a backsaw and force up the center piece.<br /><br />Second, knocking out end pieces. If the new threshold is the same height as one old one, tap out the ends with a mallet and chisel. Otherwise, saw through the door stops to heighten the opening and release the end pieces as well. Clean the still with turpentine.<br /><br />Third, cut the threshold to fit tightly against both sides of the jamb. Position the threshold so that the flap side of the plastic seal is toward the outdoors. Lift up the plastic flap and insert screws through the holes in the strip underneath.<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-38857093867623911492010-03-20T18:17:00.000-07:002010-03-20T18:23:12.444-07:00Weather- stripping to Block the Drafts<div style="text-align: justify;">The crack around doors and windows are the main cause of air leakage in most homes. In fact, in many houses, window sashes and doors are grooved to interlock with metal flanges around the frames. If a house lacks this sort of built-in weather stripping, chances are it will easily gets the damage.<br /><br />Actually, there are some simple tests to determine your weather-stripping needs.

Over the part decade, those attributes have helped propel tile beyond the bath to those kitchen, laundry room, foyer, great room, dining room, basement and even the back porch. Between 1995 and 2005, says the Tile Council of North America, U.S. ceramic tile sales grew two and a half times from 1.29 to 3.26 billion square feet. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Many of the top-selling styles mimic natural stone, with travertine, limestone and marble look-alike among the favorites. And that underscores a second expansive trend - increasing demand for real stone flooring. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">While tile versus stone was once an either/or proposition, today they're being combined to create one-of-a-kind floors. Cutting-edge manufacturer are taking advantage of the trend by offering mosaics of "natural stone mixed with ceramic, metal-glazed ceramic and glass," says Kathy hays, proprietress of Unique Tile on Baxter Avenue.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">When properly installed and maintained, the tile or stone floor you select today will still be around when your great-grandchildren are grown. That's why, hays suggests that homeowners "kick up" their selections by purchasing better grades and paying more attention to pattern, texture, movement and coloration. "Put more money into it to get the looks and the wear," she advices. "The biggest mistake people make is getting too basic with their floors."</span><br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1933316329333765257.post-51976091565270663212010-01-20T18:44:00.000-08:002010-01-24T02:14:43.273-08:00How to keep bugs away.<div style="text-align: justify;">I hate bugs. Inevitably, they are ruining my home. They are in our dining room, kitchen and every where in my house. I don't want to be harsh with animals but these insects are making me extremely sick and disgusted. Just last night, I was soundly has a restful sleep but I was awaken, bugs bite me on the left leg. I was totally mad and I was not able to go back to sleep. It is very horrible!<br /><br />As a result, I hurriedly buy Ortho Home Defense Max the next morning. I spread it anywhere in my home, to the area where most bugs live. Happily, I was able to sleep soundly the succeeding nights. Bugs are totally gone. Ortho Home Defense max keeps them out from my house. <br /><br />Absolutely, perfect!<br /></div>Arleen Jayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09019199000341497946noreply@blogger.com0
