It’s a complete package for the bibliophiles. Designed by Younes Duret, Ransa is a seating unit levitating in the air, though not literally. The sofa gives the illusion of levitation, but the secret lies in the bookcase hidden underneath that supports the furniture. You can simply stretch down on the couch and pull out one of your favorite books without making much effort. Apart from being functional, the sofa also grabs attention because of its great looks. The wooden finish adds to its grace and makes it an elegant and efficient unit for your living space.
It consists of a beautiful couch that seems to levitate over a miniature bookcase. The uncommon design is very practical, as it makes it possible for a reader to easily access a wide range of his or her favorite books while not even having to stand up. But functionality is not this sofa’s only feature.
With a stylish wooden finish, Ramsa is also of great aesthetic effect and it can be integrated in a modern living room, leading to incredible visual results. We tried really hard and in the end we managed to find a small downside to this otherwise fascinating furniture piece: the fact that the books always have to be in order. But this could also be looked at as an advantage. After all, there are plenty of passionate readers who have a tendency to ignore tidiness and this design is their chance to become organized.

To repair a foundation, the service provider requires an underpinning system using piers: push piers vs helical piers where helical piers are preferable for residential real estate objects.
We have water in the crawlspace: I explain what to do when the crawlspace is flooded, if it is normal to have water in the crawlspace after a heavy rain, and the importance to perform a crawlspace waterproofing thereafter, normally by installing a vapor barrier. I describe how to improve the air quality in the crawlspace and to accomplish this, I am reluctant to use lime powder in this article, where I explain the pros and con, as I would be using lime powder only to avoid the dangers of raw sewage under house. However, you will need a certified specialist to deal with a risky sewage backup in the basement.

Framing
There are some interesting articles here, in this Framing category. I refer to sistering floor joists, as a methodology to reinforce existing floor joists with some emphasis on sistering 2x6 floor joists or sistering with 2x8 instead, and about the building code for sistering joists.
Water Heaters
About water heaters, we have a complete guide about water heater types and I also explain in detail the difference between a mobile home water heater and the standard water heater of a normal house. I also describe in detail how to remove the heating element without an element wrench using just a socket.
