HOME-TIPS

26 Arch: A structure of wedged shaped blocks, or square blocks with wedge shaped joints,over an opening so disposed as to hold together when supported from sides and capable of carrying a load over the open.  

25 Absorption: The process by which a liquid is drawn into and tends to fill permeable pores in a porous body, also the increase in weight of porous solid body resulting from the penetration of liquid into its permeable pores.  

24 Abutment: A concrete support wall constructed at both ends of a bridge or an arch, in order to resist the horizontal force from the bridge or the arch, support the ends of the bridge span and to prevent the bank from sliding under.  

23 Active Earth Pressure: The horizontal push from earth onto a wall.  The active earth force from sand on to a free retaining wall is equivalent to that from a fluid of density 0.25 to 0.30 times that of the sand.  The force from sand on to a fixed retaining wall is very much more.  

22 Water leaks:  Even the smallest of leaks can lead to big water waste over time. It’s important to repair any leaks as soon as you find them in order to prevent expensive damage.

21 Laminate Flooring: Laminate is another engineered product, though instead of a veneer of wood on top, it uses a photo of wood (or stone or any other material) and adds a protective plastic coating. The substrate of laminate flooring typically consists of dense fiberboard.

20 No Metal Items while working with electricity:  Never use metallic pencils or rulers, or put on rings or metallic watchbands when working with electrical gear.

19 Check for Leaks Regularly:  Checking your faucets, pipes, and toilets often for leaks is a great way to save money on water bills.

18 Get Rid of Floor Scuffs:  When black scuff marks appear on wood floors, grab a tennis ball (a used one is just fine). Use a sharp blade to cut an X in the ball and then slip the ball onto the end of a broom or mop handle.

17 Window Treatments:  Whether you have drapery, wooden blinds, or fabric blinds, they are going to get dusty. Use your vacuum upholstery attachment to easily trap dust.

16 Refresh Your Sofa:  The sofa takes lots of action, but can easily be cleaned and refreshed by vacuuming it well. Remove all of the throw pillows and cushions and use your vacuum tools to clean every surface and crevice.

15 Hardwood Flooring:  The warmth and beauty of hardwood flooring explains its enduring appeal. Since the material can be sanded and refinished multiple times (especially solid wood versions) a well-maintained hardwood floor can last for decades, or even centuries.

14 Don’t Flush Anything but Toilet Paper:  Nothing but toilet paper should be flushed down your toilet. Foreign objects like feminine hygiene products, cotton swabs, and other items should never be flushed away. These objects can cause clogs in your plumbing system and lead to expensive repairs.

13 Non – conductors:  Use solely instruments and gear with non-conducting handles when engaged in electrical units.

12 Use the Best and Most Effective Cleaner for Stone Surfaces and Also for Natural Marbles, Kota Stones , and all other types of stones:  An effective solution for cleaning is water.
