Needs to be Done When Painting the House

For painting, there are a number of steps that need to be taken so that to get maximal results and safety. Before painting, plan first the job and the goods that will be packed. Ideally, a painting job done within an empty room. But if not possible, the furniture can be covered with plastic or newspaper.

When painting, open all windows and doors for air circulation can be run properly. Secure all children and pets during the painting.

When using more than one can of the same color paint, use one large container for mixing paint. This is to prevent the existence of a different color.

In addition, use safety goggles when painting or when the paint preparations. If we also paint the wood or metal with a paint solvent oil-based, do not forget to wear a mask.

When the painting was stopped temporarily, put paint cans in a cool and safe place. The paint brush should be wrapped with paper and place it in a standing position (handle of the brush facing down). If the rest of paint on the brush was hardening, wash with warm water.

Be careful when painting the borders between walls and floors. Use masking tape to prevent paint seepage onto the floor or carpet. If you hesitate to paint your own, you should use an experienced painting services, but you have to spend more!

Easy Way to Clean Chandelier

After used in your candle light dinner, you have to clean the chandelier. It can be a complicated job if your chandelier is made of metal material filled with carvings. It takes many hours to extract the remaining attached candles.

There are easy ways that can ease the job. Insert the chandelier into the refrigerator freezer for several hours or let it inside the freezer overnight. The next day, you just tear out the remaining wax with a toothpick. Molten wax that will stick came off easily without leaving a trace.

If your candle is silver plated, do not use sharp objects to extract it, because it will damage the silver lining.

Wall-Hung Dish Rack

For a drying and storage facility in one, this wall-hung dish rack provides the answer. The drying aspect dispenses with the need for a tea-towel or the expense of the electricity-gobbling drying cycle in your dishwasher. The rack relies on there being a sink directly underneath it, one with a wide shelf behind the bowls so that the draining water is caught.

The unit illustrated utilises hollow stainless-steel rids but, depending on the style of your kitchen, wooden dowels may appeal to you more (unfortunately, they aren’t as durable). Painted Tasmanian oak has been used to keep the timber members to a relatively small dimension, but polyurethaned radiate pine would be equally suitable providing it were made a little bigger (for instance, 50 mm wide). Although expensive, teak would be the ultimate choice as it could be left in its natural state.

Hardwood such as Tasmanian oak is suitable for the framework because it had the strength necessary to support the weight of the dish without being too bulky.
