Hammer nails into the nail slots every 16 inches down the panel. Once one edge of the panel is locked into place, you'll need to nail the other edge to the sheathing to secure the panel. Install the first panel by snapping it into the receiver on the corner post.

Scrub with a soft-bristled brush, then wipe away the vinegar and lifted oxidation with a damp cloth. If you're using a partial panel, slide the cut edge of the panel into the utility channel you installed until it locks into place. If you don't need to use partial panels for your installation, you can skip this step.

Cement siding clapboards, planks, and lap siding are the most popular and range from 4" to 12" wide, 4' to 12' long, with a thickness from 7/16" to 1". No committee supporting this ballot measure raised enough money to reach the reporting threshold for this list. Microsoft’s acknowledgment of a mobile gaming push comes as the company increasingly positions Xbox Cloud Gaming as an option for mobile gaming on emerging handhelds.

Expect water to drip into any space left between your home’s surface and the vent cap plate. For example, if you’re venting a range hood horizontally, you will probably need 2 pipes. The other pipe connects to it and runs horizontally towards the outside. If you have a cabinet over your stove, you may need to run the pipe behind or even through it. Cabinets are good for hiding vent pipes, but the pipe reduces your available storage space.

A 2011 discovery in the Canadian province of New Brunswick yielded the earliest known plants to have grown wood, approximately 395 to 400 million years ago.

Position the saw in the center of the area you need to cut, drill into it, then pull out the wall material. After removing the initial material, continue cutting to extend the hole all the way through the wall. If you don’t need a hood, such as when venting a wood-burning stove, skip to cutting holes to fit the pipes. Some homes lack space to hide ducts or are made of materials like glass that can’t have duct openings.

If the wood surface was previous painted in a dark colour and you want to paint over it in a light colour, you may need more than 2 layers of primer. As long as the surface is flat, a roller may be your quickest option. Adjust the size of the roller based on the size of your project. Newer wood may have mill glaze that is a result of the cutting process.

Subsequent growth of wood may completely conceal the stubs which will however remain as knots. No matter how smooth and clear a log is on the outside, it is more or less knotty near the middle. Consequently, the sapwood of an old tree, and particularly of a forest-grown tree, will be freer from knots than the inner heartwood.

The black check in western hemlock is the result of insect attacks. The reddish-brown streaks so common in hickory and certain other woods are mostly the result of injury by birds. The discoloration is merely an indication of an injury, and in all probability does not of itself affect the properties of the wood. Ordinary sap-staining is due to fungal growth, but does not necessarily produce a weakening effect.

Vinyl siding has a large variety of styles, is easy to install, lasts up to 60 years, and requires minimal maintenance. Fiber cement siding has a 50 to 100-year life expectancy when installed by a professional and maintained regularly. Most fiber cement siding products have a 30-year product warranty and 15-year color-coating warranty when installed to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Simply cut the material to size and nail it to the furring strips so the entire surface is covered. Get the length of pipe you need to connect the vent to the outside. On average, the metal pipe needs to be about 6 in in diameter.

Yes, first of all I would try wiping it clean with white vinegar. But if that does not work, I'd try lightly sanding it with sandpaper or scrubbing with baking-soda and water mixture.

To clean oxidized aluminum, first wipe off any dirt or debris on it using a clean cloth. Then, wet the cloth with soapy water and gently clean the aluminum with it. If there’s still oxidation, mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 2 cups of warm water and wipe down the aluminum with the mixture. For stubborn spots, cut a lemon in half and dip one of the halves in some salt. The acid from the lemon mixed with the salt’s abrasiveness should remove most stubborn stains.

Depending on various conditions, plaster can take anywhere from 2-5 days to fully harden. Any imperfections it picks up during this time will be visible in the finished wall. The outer “skim” coat can also be around 3/8”, though you can get away with a layer as thin as 1/12”, or about 2mm. Apply this coat exactly as you did the first, making sure there are no obvious gaps or seams. Scoring creates shallow grooves that increase the overall surface area of the wall and allows the second coat to adhere better. A good way to determine whether the plaster is thick enough is to stick a wooden paint stirrer straight down into the bucket.

Use a tape measure to estimate the length of pipe needed for your route. Keep in mind that the distance will vary slightly depending on how you vent the stove. If you’re going to vent something like a wood-burning stove, you will need a longer pipe to connect directly to it. If you apply plaster in a damp room like a kitchen or bath be sure and paint it well to keep the moisture out or it will decompose the plaster over time. You can use white cement (fix-all or qwick-fix) in baths and kitchens because it will not decompose with water.
