If in a house we must make a brick building, whether it be of a partition wall , a wall or a fence of flowerbeds, we can do so in a simple, economical and the process is the same for all types of buildings. Let us see in this guide as laying the concrete bricks .
First, we are concerned to take the necessary measures in order to purchase concrete bricks in the right quantity. With them we also need specific material for the construction industry including cement and mortar, and of course some basic tools such as a trowel, a putty knife, a water level drop and a container for the mixture of adhesives and grout cement.
Now, to begin the work of laying of concrete bricks must be paid from the bag of cement mortar and the dose needed to create the dough for the base of the bricks, while avoiding the excess since the processing time of the laying of the latter could be long, and then the mixture may dry too. At this point, leans against a first row of bricks of the required width, liveliness perfectly the exact position, using the wooden pegs and obviously the level. After finding that everything is perfectly level, rise one by one the bricks and concrete are fixed to the ground with the mixture of mortar and concrete. With the same procedure, the salt thus upward, using from time to time mortar and cement, and the level to check the exact position.
It therefore realizes the base with the laying of the first row of bricks in concrete, which must be durable and also very compact, whereby the bricks are always put in a staggered manner so as to meet the end with a wall up and with the weight of every single brick equally distributed between the parties Everything is important from the static point of view and also aesthetic, just think that the ancient Romans, they had realized the importance during their colossal buildings . Completed then the laying of concrete bricks, we just have to sand the surface, free it from leaking excess glue and possibly Staining with the desired color, or smoothing it and leave it with the natural color, using only the flatting of transparent or simply ' straw oil.
Many people have outside the house one or more walls made of bricks that are sometimes unpleasant or maybe out of date.Even an interior wall , such as a fireplace or an interlude between two environments sometimes you want to change and intonation so that you can decorate with wallpaper, wooden beads or simply paint it. This may seem hard to realize however, is not at all but requires only some basic processing methods . Here is how plastering a brick wall .
First you have to prepare the surface of the bricks so they should be cleaned making them free of dust and dirt. The bricks damaged can be repaired with stucco and filled with concrete made of cement and mortar . When the brick wall is compact after the restoration, then proceed wetting the wall with a sponge soaked in water. It 'important fact that the surface is sufficiently moist so that applying the plaster there is a good binding between it and the bricks.
Just with the grout starts the hedge of the brick wall. The stucco for walls, is generally available in powder or ready and must be applied in the spaces so as to avoid the grooves between a brick and another, which could create problems for the purposes of filling and excessive waste of mortar and concrete. After the filling of the spaces between the bricks, you start with a first coat of cement and sand (mostly) to create the insulating part that, once dried encourages the application of the plaster finish. After waiting and then drying the mixed sand and cement, we proceed with a first coat of plaster put roughly with the aid of a trowel and during the step of drying , it begins to straighten it with a pole in wood and with a damp cloth . In this way the bricks are covered with a layer of about one centimeter between concrete and plaster.
The brick wall, then becomes a normal wall masonry, is accomplished with the phases of processes typical in fact Proceed with sanding and finishing after that, once dried, the wall must be sanded and coated wall painting, with saved a cloth or paper. The plaster at this point is perfectly smooth and the bricks behind it will be only a distant memory compared to a completely transformed.
An element really handy when you decorate a living room is definitely the coffee table comfortable when placed in front of sofas and armchairs .In the market you can find an endless array of models in every possible style, modern, classic,minimalist . Despite this immense variety , however, you may not be able to find what we seek, a model that meets our needs. At this point the only thing to do is definitely build with their own hands. In this guide we will see how to build a low table.
Before starting with page construction itself, will have to make some estimates of the type: a decor which combine such functions must be carried out, if in addition to a normal table we also want to be an element of decorum and finally how much is the figure that we are willing to spend for the creation of this item. Based on all these answers we might begin to outline a precise model.
If you do not have in mind anything definitive, so Terrance still in the dark, then you could take a ride on the internet and find out if one of the many ideas that are present, you can find something that suits you in terms of aesthetics.Just to help the undecided, we suggest some ideas to make with simple materials recovery then in addition to exclusive models also really very cheap. Let's start with an idea really nice, easy to implement. Obtain 5 wooden beams 14 x 14, the length 70 cm, 6 x 6 quadriplegia also the length of 70 centimeters. To retrieve this material you might go in a carpentry workshop, many times you can find scraps at affordable prices. Once home to prepare the equipment for the construction, sander, in the absence sandpaper in various grits, drill, wood screws , silicone transparent , clear coat , dark paint water-based.
With the sander or sandpaper, sand the boards so as to remove any splinters and make the surface as smooth as possible to do a good job, use the sandpaper of various sizes starting with the coarse, then medium and finally end. When the wood is well polished past a coat of varnish and let dry Once dry the paint repeat the process until the wood is not reach the tone you prefer Meanwhile prepared the logs that will serve as bases Always with the sandpaper polished wood, paint them with water-based paint in a dark color so that once mounted stand out from the color of the table, let it dry back to work on large beams, take the first, on the side past several rows of silicone, combined with the second and continue in this way until you get to the fifth Let dry for a few hours is now time to mount the quadrilateral which will serve as bases, secure with wood screws of the measure 10 cm in order to get a grip, keep a distance of 3 cm apart Repeat with the other quadrille. The coffee table is ready to be flaunted in your living room .
When you think of iron as part of furniture come to mind immediately all those beautiful forms, some a little baroque which are used in gates, beds, railings, balconies. Although it is a "cold" material, through its processing is able to transmit a note of heat enveloping. Just think of those beautiful balconies , fully realized in this material with their rounded shapes can completely change the austere facade of a building, or to those majestic gates , also made with the same material, real works' art, which give to those who watch them feeling of grandeur. So we try to suggest, as far as possible, a small guide to the maintenance of wrought iron.
Although at first glance it might seem a durable, really need for regular maintenance in order to always remain at the height of its splendor, and then last. Let us see how to take care of the right way. For its maintenance, we would need sandpaper average at the end of brush, iron , rust inhibitor, and paint coverage. We begin our work. With the sandpaper media begin to push aside the iron taking care to pass on the entire surface to be treated, the past must be confident and decisive. Once we have sanded everywhere by removing the parts that may have rusted, go over again but this time we will make use of fine-grained sandpaper. We must not leave behind even one small piece, the surface must be completely sanded.
In the case we were in front of some points which prove a little difficult parts because of the shape or position, in this case, we could replace a run the sandpaper with a sharp also in iron. The parts to be treated are more corners, welding processes, curls decorations. Once our object has been completely stripped, let's controllable he there are no holes, welding etc. that are failing. If you were in the presence of holes, then we should take immediate action to closure using special material as a filler for iron. To use it you will need to follow the instructions that are behind the pack. Even when all the holes will be placed, clean up the object in question with a purpose, a rag, or if the surface is very large with the use of compressed air. This maneuver will ensure that all the dust of processing has been eliminated.
Now proceed with the application of a coat of rust, let dry, and for good measure another impassioned When the last is dry we can proceed to the actual painting. We pay careful attention what kind of paint we use for objects made of iron will in fact be obliged to use one specific At this point, our object can be said to be completely refurbished, averted the danger of rust and paint restored Maintenance is now complete but attention as soon as you realize that the rust comes back in some places, run for cover, without wasting precious time.
With the DIY is possible to realize a large number of objects, even the most disparate, those words that our imagination suggests.Sometimes the use of this art, it can mean really save much money and earning a lot of satisfaction when the work is performed in a workmanlike manner, and the results reflect our expectations to the full. In other cases, the do it yourself can be a real art form, which allows us to create objects in our complete liking . In this guide, we'll see a few ways to create a table in wood and stone , how to do, what materials to use in short, everything that can be useful in this building.
Suppose that we want to decorate a corner of our garden to make it more intimate and personal. The idea is to create a table, but it has very special characteristics. First of all, the choice of materials or wood and stone , two important elements of our system, two materials that are definitely the symbol with regard to the construction and furnishing. Let's start with an idea to suggest very colorful and affordable for everyone in terms of achievement. To speed up the construction time, we could use an old garden table we thought of throwing. If you encounter any problems in the structure, we will try to remedy repairing it, but if everything conforms we can start our construction.
Let us go into a pottery shop or at a department store specializing in building materials. Ask us to view the sampling of natural stones available to them. Once we have them available for examination will think about which one to choose to match with our table. The idea basically consists in covering the table top which originally made of wood, with natural stones we have chosen. To do this we need: natural stones to our liking (marble, granite, rough stone) glue , and a product for leaks.
Once home we place our stones on the table trying to arrange them so that they fit within the table without overhang and in any case are also pleasing to see once you have found the right accommodation prepare the glue adequate, spasmodically under every stone moving them one by one. Let dry When you are sure that the stones we made adherence to the table, prepare the liquid compound that will serve to fill the gaps, trying to abound with the material so as not to gaps At this point, even when this liquid is dried, can pass over the floor a product polishing and protective The same idea can be realized with the use of ceramic tiles, both whole and broken mosaic.
Do you have a tiny house , but always ready to welcome friends and relatives? You therefore need a large table for only a few occasions, but would be too cumbersome for everyday? Well, then you're in the right place!Keep following this article and discover some ways on how to make a folding table .
In the first case, we present a folding table, in which one of the sides, is leaning against the wall. Once the measures taken on the dimensions of the wall , cut two sides in wood, one will serve as a tabletop (its measures correspond, therefore, to those chosen for the mobile), the 'other, however, will be juxtaposed with a para wall to ward off the blows when the table is open. Bring hour meter and a pencil and take the measurements from the ground, on the wall and mark the two points of reference where you want the 'height of the table and draw a connecting line.
Now take the board more closely and apply a layer of glue on the back, then lean it up against the wall along the line drawn, for a tighter seal recommend you nail it. Below the bumper , are now applied two strips of wood, which reach down to the floor, connecting two of these are squares hinged on the underside of the bumper, must now apply two hinges that serve to connect it to what will be the table. In this way, when the plan is turned down, he is on the brackets, which will serve as a support when the table is open.
A table structured as will be useful in the kitchen, especially if there 'is a lot of room to move, you can use a table to disappear as floor support to cook, then once finished it closes to allow free passage.A second example we expected in practice two pieces of furniture in one: in fact it goes build a shelf or a belief, which is attached to the wall L 'unit door, once opened, it becomes the plan' support. In this case, the legs of the table are given by a family-pi Greek, whose horizontal part is attached by hinges to ' end of the shelf away from the wall, of course, regardless of the solution you choose, you can indulge with the colors to give to your table, as you can also choose to coat the wooden shelf with king materials such as Formica or tiles, but in any case it 's important to remember always good to sand the boards before you start decorating.
If you're creative and are willing to engage yourself with the craft, this is the tutorial for you. In detail it will show you how to decorate, in various ways , a shoe box .

A tip for the fantasies even more original is the sponged effect. To get it, just give the color temperature of a kitchen sponge and wipe "accidentally" on the box. The result will be amazing and guaranteed.
For those who love a confident style, even in the DIY , we recommend the use of glitter To apply you will not have to do is spend a layer of glue stick on the box and then sprinkle with the glitter or colored sequins. Again originality and brilliance will be insured.
Many of the objects that are found in our homes, when they have ceased to do their usefulness, they are often thrown between tritium . But only if we dwell for a moment and try to see if we could instead give him new life, perhaps even the urgent waste problem would be solved. Generally, all objects may have a new job would be enough to make full use of the imagination.In this guide we will see how to reuse a mattress to build a comfortable sofa .
Let's start by illustrating the first idea entirely achievable using recycled materials. For the structure we could use wooden pallets for shipments, whereas for stuffing our mattress to recycle. Let's see how to achieve a real little corner under the sign. Take 6 wooden pallets of the same size, mix them with small iron brackets, color them with wood paint water color you prefer. Position yourself over your mattress. For its coating you can use a cloth prosciutto very colorful, for the back instead so many pillows in solid colors or colored depending on your taste.

If until now we have only used single mattresses, the latter idea instead protagonist is a double mattress that one single The procedure is very simple and quick, but the end result very good. Let's take the single mattress and settle on the ground, now is definitely the most challenging Take the double mattress, with a meter measured the exact middle , draw a line vertical line on the mattress with a marker With the help of a cutter very Sharp started to split the mattress, making sure to make a cut as straight as possible arrive to the opposite side if possible without affecting the fabric underneath the mattress now Place freshly cut with one side against the wall and the other half over the mattress single As Use a cover sheet double prosciutto colorful, accompanied your new sofa with pillows in contrasting colors with those of the cloth covering Unless you're to unravel the mystery, no one will notice that the sofa before you actually had a mattress, rather one and a half.
The painting is a very important and requires the right preparation : For this we need a lot of precautions and tips so that it succeeds in the best possible way . But how do the preparation for painting? Let's find out in the following steps seeing which are the right advice for a good painting.
First you need to keep in mind certain important factors that may contribute to a perfect painting . First of all one must consider that it is not good to start a painting with temperatures high since they affect negatively on it creating bubbles aesthetically ugly to see and, in addition, also patches of indelible stains.
But if the temperature should not be performed at high air temperatures, it is also true the other way according to which paint should not be applied at a rate of too high humidity and a temperature too low : what is the danger? By doing this you run the risk of making particular all the paint on the walls and, by loving remedy immediately, you'll run into considerable damage.
To begin with you have to have a wall or any other surface without holes or imperfections that could help to develop cracks or uneven coating To do this it is only right to level the surface with a rough paper or, if it is very hard surfaces, it is necessary use appropriate tools to leveling. After you have done this and removed all the imperfections due to the altitude, you should proceed with the fix a tint adequate to ensure that the wall has such a smooth patina .
On this patina is appropriate to apply the paint to gaining a change and not give that effect to the painting bright and homogeneous. If spreading the paint you realize that there are imperfections you will have to wait for it to dry, and only after this has occurred, you can use a touch-up or, if the job requires, for a full review of the painting proceeding with leveling.
All that needs special attention in this operation, as well as the drafting of the paint itself, it is also the basis, perhaps it is the one that should be taking care of all the details.Essentially, after waiting for the drying of the first coat of paint will be appropriate to use a second hand to remove the imperfections due to the draft.
If you felt the urge and inspiration to create something with your own hands, you started with the simple dough to shape, are then passed to the famous moment and now you want to "dare" to something more luxurious, then here is that this guide may be very useful for you. Specifically, we will deal with how to work the pottery , explaining the basic techniques and the material needed for its production. Read the steps below to learn about the process and have some more opportunity that can be a stimulus for your creativity .
The first thing to do is to start to recover everything you need and prepare your work table so that you have everything you need at your fingertips once you have started to work with clay. In fact, it is the main subject.Take the amount you need so if you want to achieve something only with the help of hands, begin to beat it with the rolling pin over its entire surface. This process is important because it allows you to remove possible air bubbles in the dough.
Imagine having to build a simple vase on a circular base .First Roll out the clay to obtain a base of about one centimeter. With the help of a cup edges very thin and it has a circumference that you need, as used stencil and create the form on the clay you have cleared. Now that you have prepared the base, you can prepare the coils of clay simply rolling under his fingers on the desk. Depending on the height of the pot you want to achieve, you will realize the coils are sufficiently long and of course the diameter constant as possible.
Resume yet the circular base and, using a box cutter , start to notch the edge of creating nicks surface so as to take better attack the snake when fitted as an adhesive you need instead of the slip. The latter is formed by simple clay waste dissolved in water must have a creamy texture will not have to do anything but to wet the edge of the circle with abundant slip then take the head of the snake and begin to place it on the first lap circumference Done , made other marks on the same sausage and add more slip and so on to achieve the desired height.
