Probably you thought that in HomeQN we are interested in wood only to get bored sistering floor joists and predrilling dimensional lumbers, Of course not! That is for the Framing authors. Let´s see how we can really have fun with wood!
Blending Japanese skill to meet the modern art, designers Francesca Rogers and Daniele Gualeni Design Studio has come up to create beautiful light fixture.
Hailed as “Light Form”, the light lets you enjoy the desired pattern by simply flipping the wooden panels. The wooden panel when flipped gives the energy-efficient electroluminescent lights. So each time you flip the panels, warm ambiance of the light leaves your décor with a new pattern.
These modular lights are easy to place on any wall, and each module comprise electroluminescent light, or simply a white surface to augment the rest of light with reflection. The idea looks pretty cool, just like you are solving some puzzle to light up the vicinity.
I explain if the foundation repair is actually covered by homeowners insurance and the actual foundation repair cost. We disaggregated these foundation repair costs and determined, the cost per pier when footings or piers are the solutions for the settlement of a foundation.
To repair a foundation, the service provider might require an underpinning system using piers: push piers vs helical piers where helical piers are preferable for residential real estate objects, despite their costs. Also when you compare helical piers with concrete footings, we can determine that helical piers are more cost-efficient than concrete footings, in my opinion.
There are always new methods for repairing foundations. One of them that we investigate here is the Powerbrace foundation repair method.
Animals can be a problem when they live near the foundation: In the following articles, we describe how to remove them and how to prevent them from digging and burrowing. The articles are about animals digging holes around the foundation or when they are burrowing below concrete, below a concrete slab, or between gaps in concrete footings, for example.
I explain here the process of concrete lifting or concrete raising, which can be done through mudjacking or slabjacking. We recommend the latter, which injects polyurethane foam.
Hello, I am Marcio. I am an architect and designer, alma mater is Mackenzie. Retired in theory, but an architect never retires completely. Along with architectural projects, I am a filmmaker and have completed some short documentaries. Filmmaking and design are my passions. In HomeQN I write about home decoration and foundations. The goal is to teach homeowners to DYI as much as possible, and when this is not possible, enable them through knowledge, to evaluate service quotations and choose the best service technicians.
