Little Dam



I took this little dam at Katulampa, Bogor (West Java, Indonesia). The dam is functioned to flow the water from Ciliwung Little River to the irrigation channel. Several boys nearby use the irrigation channel as their playing ground.

Combine four tablespoons baking soda with one quart of water. Use the solution to wipe off toys.

Make a paste of water and baking soda. Using a small brush or toothbrush, rub the paste onto stained or dirty grout. Let sit for three minutes and rinse.

If your dishwasher has a funky scent, try this: Empty all dishes. Clean out the food filter. Next, fill the detergent well with baking soda and run on empty.

Everyone loves the soft glow of candlelight—but not the icky stains they can leave behind when they drip on your favorite tablecloth. To prevent this, soak candles in a saltwater solution for several hours and dry thoroughly before lighting.

Sprinkle baking soda on a damp sponge and scrub down the inside of your refrigerator. Rinse the sponge and wipe down with fresh water.

Apply a small amount of mayonnaise to the keys. Wait two to three minutes. Wipe off and buff with a soft, clean cloth.

Use a soft, clean cloth to apply a coating of vegetable oil to furniture. Wipe off any excess for shiny, beautiful furniture.

Partitions and Screens (2)
In the previous post, we have talked about partitions. This time, I’ll share a little bit about various screens. Screens as dividers have been used effectively for centuries. They have been hidden behind, dressed behind, used as a decorative element or for disguising eyesores and deflecting winter draughts- all manner of tasks where non-permanent screening is appropriate. The screens discussed here will provide you with the basics for screen manufacture.

Slatted screen
This snaky little contraption can go anywhere. Timber strips are nailed back-to-back over a canvas sheet. The strips are standard 30x9 mm cover battens 1.8 meters in length and spaced 9 mm apart. To make the one shown (1.8 meters long) you need 92 of them.
Beaded screen
This beautiful screen comprises three stepped panels which are hinged together. The frame joints should be dowelled and glued. The calico fabric is adorned with bows (you could use a different fabric) and the timber is stained brown.

Solid panel screen
A variation on the beaded screen uses solid panels. The screens shown here are made from ply or edged particle board hinged together. The hinges can be placed on the edge or on the face of the panels.
Any number of panels could be linked in this way. Another variation could use louvred doors, while a framed and paneled screen is yet another option.
The joints for the 42 x 19 mm framing can be butted and dowelled. Or they could be mitred with a half-tounged mortice as shown. The panels can be of three ply 0r 6 mm particle board which sits in a groove in the frame.

Partitions and Screens

There are various ways in which limited space can be apportioned. Furniture such as a lounge, dresser or screen can be used effectively to divide up the given space. Another solution is to construct a partition.

Natural Cleaners for Your Home
Apple Peels: Clean Discolored Aluminum Saucepans
First, you can begin by peeling two apples. Put the peels in the saucepan and add sufficient water to cover the peels. Bring the water and peels to boil for quite a few minutes until the stain starts to lift. Turn off the pot and let the water cool. Remove the water and peels, dry the pan and look at the result!
Mayonnaise: Remove Crayon from Wood Furniture
Did your kid get a little carried away while coloring? Get rid of crayon spots from wood furniture by rubbing a dab of mayo on the mark. Let it sit for five minutes and wipe it away with a damp cloth.
Oil and Lemon Juice: Shine Your Wood Furniture
It’s very easy! Combine oil and lemon juice two parts to one and use the solution to give furniture an extra polish.
Vinegar: Clean the Microwave
Baked stains in your microwave can be hard to clean. Mix 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup distilled vinegar in a microwave-safe mug or bowl. Microwave for two minutes and wipe clean. The vinegar assists to lift baked-on food and stains.
Salt: Clean a Glass Coffeepot
Do you have a trouble to clean your coffeepot? Here’s the easy way. Fill the coffeepot with 1/4 cup table salt and a dozen ice cubes. Swoosh the mixture around, let it aside for half an hour, fil it with cold water and rinse.

Salt and Vinegar: Clean Tarnished Copper
Fill a 16-ounce spray bottle with hot white vinegar and three tablespoons of salt. Spray it onto the copper, let it sit briefly, and then rub clean. (But don’t do this to lacquered copper).

Salt: Pick Up a Dropped Egg
A ‘little accident’ can happen in your kitchen. If an egg breaks on your kitchen floor, spray salt on the litter and leave it there for 20 minutes. You’ll be able to wipe it right up. It very helps your job.
