First decide if you want engineered or real wood flooring. Engineered flooring tends to be more durable as it is constructed similarly to plywood. The wood is layered so the grains run in different directions and then it is pressed together into a plank. Real wood is referred to as solid. These planks are made from one long piece of real wood. Solid is real, engineered has a tendency to look not quite real. Usually it is too shiny and has a slightly plastic sheen.

First decide if you want engineered or real wood flooring. Engineered flooring tends to be more durable as it is constructed similarly to plywood.

Solid is real, engineered has a tendency to look not quite real. Usually it is too shiny and has a slightly plastic sheen.

Some types of solid hardwood flooring come prefinished. It is not terribly hard to finish a wood floor yourself, so unless you find exactly what you are looking for in a prefinish, you should consider applying your own finish. This way you get the sheen and coloring that you want to match the rest of your home. There are innumerable stains available and you can be sure to find the exact color perfect for your existing furniture and decor.

There are multiple methods of installation as well. The method you use depends on the type of wood you end up choosing. You might need to nail down your wood floor. This means attaching the boards to the subfloor using flooring nails. Similarly, you might staple the floor down using a pneumatic stapler. Some engineered floors need to be glued down to the subfloor. For this you use a trowel and flooring adhesive.

The easiest method is floating installation. The planks lock together using tongue and groove slots that are pre-cut into the wood. Some types of wood require that the boards be glued together others just click into place. Either way, this is the easiest type of installation to do yourself.

So, when you start looking into wood flooring, think about the look you want to achieve, how much you want to spend, and who is going to do the installation.

Ironing is one of the many household functions that people usually find overwhelming. It is the task of removing wrinkles from clothes (such as shirts, pants or trousers, and skirts) with the use of a heated tool, called an “iron” (modern designs that are available nowadays, however, are no longer made of iron).

Ironing is one of the many household functions that people usually find overwhelming. It is the task of removing wrinkles from clothes (such as shirts, pants or trousers, and skirts) with the use of a heated tool, called an “iron” (modern designs that are available nowadays, however, are no longer made of iron).

Another ironing tool that goes with the iron is the ironing board. This is where most ironing is done, and it is generally a portable, narrow-padded board with a heat resistant top and supports that can usually be folded up.

Ironing boards are just as important in ironing as the iron. A good ironing board can add to your convenience, making the seemingly difficult task of ironing a bearable one. It is therefore important that you choose an ironing board that would best suit your needs, and the following general guidelines will be able to help you by identifying the things that you should look for when choosing the ironing board to buy.

1. Size. If possible, choose the widest ironing board that you can find for a more effective ironing. A full-size ironing board is one that is at least 4 feet long and 12 to 18 inches wide.

2. Height. Most people prefer to do their ironing while standing up. Standing up for a long time, however, could result to back strain. To minimize this, it is recommended that the ironing board should at least rise to about your hip level.

3. Mobility. Another thing to consider when choosing an ironing board is the available space in your home.

In general, there are 2 types of ironing board – the built-in and the portable.

-Built-in ironing boards – as the name implies, these boards are ‘built-in’, usually into a drawer or a wall cabinet.

-Portable ironing boards – also called tabletop, these boards can be set up from one place to another, allowing you to do your ironing wherever you choose. They are also ideal for people who have limited spaces in their homes.

4. Weight. Choose an ironing board that is lightweight – one that not only sets up easily for use but also folds down for storage with ease. In addition, a lightweight board also enables you to transfer them from one place to another with less effort.

5. Sturdiness. While a good ironing board is that which is lightweight, it should also have a sturdy frame that is stable enough so that it will not collapse or tip over easily as you do your ironing. Choose the most stable ironing board, with sturdy legs and a solid base – this will prevent accidents that result from ironing (such as ironing boards that fall over onto small children).

6. Adjustability. We have given the recommended ironing board height for people who prefer to stand up while ironing. However, there are still others who prefer to do their ironing while sitting. Then there may also be the added ‘problem’ of the varying height of the people in your household who may also need to iron their clothes. The solution to this problem is to choose an ironing board that can be adjusted at a height that will be most comfortable to the person who will use it.

7. The board pad. A good ironing board pad is one that has vent ‘holes’ in the surface for the steam to penetrate and escape. These ‘holes’, however, can make an impression on the fabric of the clothes you are ironing, so it is equally important for your board to have enough padding.

Ironing boards may also come with a separate board cover that ranges from simple to the sophisticated. Modern designs feature ironing boards that are coated with non-stick or reflective surfaces (‘non-stick’ prevents clothes from sticking to the board; ‘reflective’ transfers the heat back into the clothes).

8. Other features. Aside from the ‘basics’, modern-day ironing boards are equipped with additional features that allows for a more effective and convenient ironing. Some of these features are as follows:

-‘Sleeve’ – attached to the ironing board; a small board (about 2 feet long and 6 to 8 inches wide) used for ironing sleeves and small articles of clothes.

-Iron rest – built-in at the wide end of the board that expands the usable area for ironing and prevents the iron from falling off the board.

-Rack – for hanging clothes.

-Pedal-operated vacuum – to pull air through the board.

Follow these guidelines, and you will surely be able to find the ironing board that is right for your needs.

For most people, a vacuum cleaner is not really a very inspiring object. Let s face it, you don t really care how it works and you probably do not even want to endure the chore of vacuuming in the first place. However, almost everyone who doesn t want to live in a pig-sty needs one (note: students need not apply!). Recently, however, things have begun to change. People s attitudes are changing. Vacuum cleaners are becoming interesting and it s all thanks to a guy called James Dyson, inventor of the Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Thanks to Dyson, vacuum cleaners have taken on a personality and life all of their own. The same tactics employed by the likes of Apple to successfully ply their iMacs and iPods to the mass population (think: design and color) have now been used to great effect in the vacuum cleaner industry. And with the same results; the proliferation of styles, colors and the general level of gadgetry associated with these newfangled vacuum cleaners (the new Dyson DC15 has 182 patents filed for it), not to mention the clean lines and chic design, means that you no longer have to hide it away in the back of a darkened cupboard. It can become a design statement in its own right, and even a topic of conversation at a dinner party. It may be sad, but it s very, very true. Premium vacuum cleaners, as they ve become known, are all the rage and models like those in the Dyson range are bizarrely becoming the next must-have purchase for the hip-and-trendy crowd!

Let s break down the decision that faces the would-be purchaser of one of these premium vacuum cleaners. First, you have the choice between the upright or cylinder (canister) versions. The uprights require you to use them in the traditional push-and-pull fashion, although the latest offering from Dyson, the DC15, has even turned this on its head with its The Ball technology, which lets it glide effortlessly around your house in any direction you please. The canisters on the other hand come with a hose attachment for greater flexibility and control you can easily and accurately get into all the hard to reach places. There s not really much difference between the two and it s mainly down to personal preference, although the upright vacuum is probably best suited to large carpeted areas.

Second, you should consider the power of the motor and the efficiency of the filtration system. Allergy suffers in particular should pay close attention to the filtration. Dyson has been very successful by marketing the benefits of its patented Cyclone technology which does not suffer a deterioration in suction like traditional vacuum cleaners, because there is no bag or filter to get clogged up (which is the main cause of diminishing performance). So, if you’re looking for a vacuum cleaner that will always deliver maximum efficiency, you can’t really go far wrong with a new Dyson like the Dyson D14 or the newer Dyson DC15.

Of course if you are really feeling super adventurous, you want to stay ahead of the curve and you happen to have some spare cash burning a hole in your pocket, you could opt for one of the increasingly popular robot vacuum cleaners such as the ZA01 from Electrolux or the cheaper iRobot from Roomba. While you busy yourself at work all day, this gizmo will scuttle around your house of its own accord, vacuuming it s little heart out so the place looks spic-and-span for when you get home! It even has the smarts to return to its “base” when it’s running low on battery power in order to recharge itself!

So you see, something that is perceived to be boring the humble vacuum cleaner – can actually be quite interesting when you look into it. What you may think of as the purchase of a necessary, almost commodity, item can actually turn out to be a technology purchase or a design statement that will keep you way ahead of the curve. I wonder if Daniel Hess, who filed the original patent for the hoover back in 1860, had any idea how his invention would turn out 150 years later?

Are you a homeowner? If so, how long have you lived in your home? Whether you have only lived in your home three months, three years, or even thirty years, there may come a time when you want a change. We often associate change with buying a new home, but there is a way that you make a change without having to make another large purchase. If you are looking for a change, when it comes to your home, you way want to think about remodeling your kitchen.

When it comes to kitchen remodeling, there are many homeowners who wonder why they should even bother. If you are one of those homeowners, you may want to take the time to familiarize yourself with the most common signs that you need or could benefit from having your kitchen remodeled. If any of the scenarios, mentioned down below, applies to you in, anyway, it may be time for you to start your next home improvement project; a kitchen remodeling project.

Perhaps, the most obvious sign that you need to remodel your kitchen is if it is falling apart in anyway. To many homeowners, falling apart means different things, but, in essence, it means if your kitchen appears as if it is in extremely poor quality. If you notice holes in your walls or ceiling, kitchen cabinets that are not properly working, kitchen counters that have large gashes in them, or bumps in your kitchen floor tiles, it may be time to remodel your kitchen. When a kitchen has something wrong with it, you should not only be concerned with the appearance of it, but also the safety. That is why it is important that you, at least, fix any problems in your kitchen, even if you don t plan on doing a large remodeling project.

As previously mentioned, another one the many signs that you may need to have your kitchen remodeled is if you need a change. As much as many homeowners love their homes, it can get quite boring to look at the same thing, every single day. A kitchen remodeling project is the best way to spice up your life, as well as your home. If you do not have the time, the expertise, or the money needed to remodel your whole kitchen, you may want to just focus on a particular part of it, such as your cabinets and so on.

Money is another sign that you may want or need to remodel your kitchen. Choosing to remodel your kitchen isn t just a big decision, it is an expensive one. Although many homeowners need to have their kitchens remodeled, there are many who cannot afford to do so. If you have the money, you are urged to remodel your kitchen when you have the chance, especially if your kitchen is currently in bad shape.

Whether you recently came into some money or saved with the hopes of being able to afford a kitchen remodeling project, you should get started while you still have the chance. Unfortunately, money is sometimes hard to hang on to. That is why if your intention was to remodel your kitchen, make sure that you stick to your originally intention; you can benefit a number of ways from doing so.

Even though the above mentioned points may apply to you, you may still be wondering whether or not you should really remodel your kitchen. Perhaps, it is best that you take time to think about your decision. The decision to remodel your kitchen is a large one; it is one that shouldn t be made on an impulse.

If you decide to get a home plan, there are certain questions you need to ask. Make sure that everything is clear before you make your purchase.

You should know all of the following before deciding on a home plan:

1. Do the plans or blueprints include the electrical and the plumbing? The rough plumbing should be included in the plans. It should have a detailed presentation of the pipes and where they come into the house. The electrical lightings and outlets should be included.

2. How will I customize my plans? If you want to customize your plans, you can buy a reproducible master copy printed on erasable paper. This erasable paper will allow you to make changes. You can ask your local draftsman or engineer to make changes for the plan and layout. This will also allow you to reproduce copies of the plan after the changes have been made. Customizing your plan is often necessary to make your plan perfect for your individual tastes.

3. What are the things included in the blueprints? Of course a blueprint should be well detailed. It should include:

a. Foundation plan a foundation plan shows how the foundations are built. This is where the thickness of the foundation walls are emphasized including the spacing, floor joint sizes, column locations, furnace, water and heater locations, plumbing, windows, doors and other miscellaneous details that are related to the basement and foundation.

b. Coversheet a coversheet is a representation of the house when it is built. A coversheet may not be compulsory for a home plan but it would be better if it is presented. The purpose of a coversheet is to give the owner a perspective of how the home will look after it has been constructed. This may contain the front, top, rear and side view of the house. This is important so that the owner can give suggestions.

c. Floor plans- the floor plans indicate the construction and layout of each part or floor of the house. The ones naturally included are wall sizes, room dimensions, plumbing and electrical locations, doors, windows, flooring and the structural information and the special conditions related to the floor plan.

d. Elevations- this is a representation of the exterior of the house, its size, shape of the doors and windows, size of the trim, the dimensions and the height, the depth of the foundation, shingle types and moldings, replacement of materials, the pitch of the roof, and the gutters and downspouts.

4. Are the blueprints signed and approved by the architect? This is very important to ensure that an architect has reviewed the blueprint and it has passed all the requirements of a home plan. You can also ask about the background of the architect who signed your home plan.
These questions are essential in choosing a home plan. Take the time to get the answers, this is your home after all.

Are you thinking of installing a swimming pool? But you still do not know what should be considered as factors before investing.

First of all, budget is a huge factor, but not the only consideration. First, evaluate your reason for installing a pool. Is it purely for recreation? Do you have a family member who has a health condition that might benefit from daily swimming? What kind of space do you have for your pool? Do you plan on using the pool year round? What kind of building codes might apply in your city? Will your pool be for exercise only? Do you plan to include a hot tub or spa?

A good planning will help you a lot to minimize extra expenditures. Generally, we often end up spending much more than originally intended. Give some consideration to how you would like the area around the pool landscaped and plan on that expense. Have you given any thought to maintenance cost? Pumps, filters and chemicals are regular expenses that need to be budgeted. Filling your pool initially will cause your water bill to rise significantly the first month. You will also want to consider the expense of water loss through normal usage of the pool.

There are two choices for types of swimming pool; in-ground or above-ground. Each has their own pluses and minuses.

1. An above-ground pool can be dismantled if you move to a new residence. They are also less expensive. Esthetically speaking, above-ground pools can be set up with decking and landscaping that rival more expensive in-ground pools. Often, the dealer you purchased from will offer setup and in some cases even decking and landscaping services.

2. In-ground pools are definitely more expensive than the portable, above-ground alternative. However, they usually increase the value of the property. If you have decided that an in-ground pool is best suited for your purposes, here are some steps you need to take:

– Shop around for a contractor.
– Obtain at least three written bids.
– Make certain that ALL labor and materials are included as well as building permits.
– Ask for a list of previous customers.
– Don t make a hasty decision. Take your time and don t be pressured into signing a contract.
– Check with the Better Business Bureau to determine if the contractor has any outstanding complaints.
– Confirm that the contractor has the proper license.
– Never pay the contractor in cash. Always use a check, cashiers check, money order or credit card so you have proof of purchase.

You have to take a lot of consideration before investing in this big investment with a huge expenditure. However, if you plan well and do your homework, it is really worth it and you will definitely enjoy years of pleasure.

Whether it’s your first time buying a home or not, you should familiarize yourself with the whole mortgage process. Numerous mortgage lenders will assist you in the process of acquiring a pre-qualified and pre-approved home buying application. Of course, your mortgage qualifications will be required by your agent to strengthen your deal in finding and buying a home.

The followings are some things to consider when buying a home:

1. Money
First of all, before buying a home, consider your financial status. Check your credit situation by getting hold of your most recent credit report at the credit center. You should know exactly how much money you have and how much you can afford to spend on a home.

2. Needs Vs Wants
Do not confuse between needs and wants when you can have both. Upon gathering information in buying a home, take into consideration the different types of houses available and decide what you want from what is offered.

3. The Right Agent
If you believe in the comfort and rewards of buying a home, you will need to trust the agent who will do the work for you. In finding a reliable agent you will need to look at many sources of information to determine who represents what . It is always best to compare experiences, backgrounds and referrals of reputable people.

4. Time
Do not expect to find a great home tomorrow if you ve only begun your search today. Buying a home is like working on a school project. It needs ample time. If you think you ve gathered enough information and resources within your time table, so be it.

5. Cue Cards
You don t want to forget even a single detail about the home you ve selected, right? Why not keep little cue cards where the plus & minus on each home or property you ve seen is listed and recorded.

6. Points and Plus
Learn how to bargain and get the best possible deal.

7. Word Confusion
Needless to say, when you buy a home you should familiarize yourself with the terms and words used during the dealing and negotiating with your agent and contractor. Also, try to keep a list of the questions you have that need further clarification.

8. Safety and Security
Be sure to get homeowner s insurance. It may seem like a lifetime expense, but it will get you continued savings in the long run.

9. Final Check
Do a final inspection or walk-through of the house before settlement and before the contract is processed.

Please do consider the above checklists as helpful factors when you to decide to buy a home. Plan ahead and avoid the common mistakes that most home buyers make.

An area rug is one of those items that can be more then a little difficult to define. How big are they? Where in your home do they go exactly? Let’s first take a look inside what is generally the largest room in the house: the living room.

Often times, your living room will be large enough that it may need something to “break it up” a little bit. A good way to do this is to find an area rug with a color that contrasts the color of your living room carpet (or floor). This often has the result of setting off the open area and tkaing the focus off of the vastness of the room.

Area rugs are also a great option for a home with hardwood floors. Not only can they help your home from an aesthetic viewpoint, they can also make the house feel warmer (both literally and emotionally) and can reduce echoing in smaller rooms. A good quality rug with an anti-skid backing will also make your home safer – less slippage on those hardwood or Pergo floors!

Bathrooms might be where the area rug reigns supreme. With most bathrooms being covered in cold tile or linoleum, these small rugs are the perfect compliment to this small area. Best of all they are inexpensive enough, that they can easily be replaced with something completely different if they wear out, or even if you just get bored with a particular style or color.

If you are not a homeowner, and are currently renting, area rugs are a fantastic way to personalize your living space without jeopardizing your security deposit, or other cleaning fees after you leave. And when you do leave, you get to take your rugs with you to your next home!

Whether you are renting, or own your home, there is no denying the benefits of using area rugs in a child’s room. At 1/10th the cost of the carpet in the room, you can often prevent juices, crayons, and other hazards from ever reaching the far more expensive carpeting.

Perhaps the greatest strength of the area rug lies in the ambiguity of its description. As the “jack of all trades” rug, you can find a near limitless number of sizes, colors, materials, textures and more to choose from. There is something out there for every room in your home – no matter what the design, colors, or theme is in each.

Many home owners are becoming more like handymen every day so this article, like my site is intended to for them to use as a learning tool or a starting point on repairing and renovating various parts of the home. This article is on ceramic tiling for bathroom floors.

This article and others that follow will be devoted to home repair and improvement dealing with different areas from roof to basement.

If you are going to re-do the bathroom floor – this means taking up your tile, sheet vinyl, or ceramic tile and underlayments you should make sure there are no signs of water damage to the subflooring and check to see if it is solid throughout. When laying down a new floor the main question is always can I lay tile over the existing floor or do I have to pick up the old one first? If the floor is level and sound you can usually just tile right over it with plastic or vinyl flooring, but keep in mind how much room you have for the bathroom door, door frame and wall molding (if any) you may have to open or close the door from time to time!

If the underlayment is solid but not quit level you can use leveling embossers (like mortar) to fill-in low spots to make a level surface, otherwise place a new underlayment over it, if you can. I have seen home owners doctor it up with thin plain wood strips don t do it! All materials must be water and moisture resistant as possible. Always use at least a 3ft level to insure surface is not slanted in any way.

For a typical ground level home like a ranch with no basement, floor foundations are ‘framed’, meaning the floor sits on joists with 2-by’s (stills) running perpendicular to the joists along the foundation. ‘Girders’, (metal rods) at or near the center of the joists help in support. Above the framing lays the subfloor, typically a 3/4″ tongue and groove particle board, plywood or similar material. Above that there is a1/4″ plywood or cement board (moisture resistant) that s called the underlayment and may also have a sheet of roofing felt or similar material for added cushioning. Take extra caution when laying underlayment over the subflooring because the floor may crack if the seems match up so it’s best to stagger the seams.

Ceramic Tiles: Because this type of tiling has become popular in kitchens, bathrooms, halls and even living rooms for its durability and style, I want to devote this section on the subject.
Installing ceramic tiles in the bathroom will alter the height of fixtures like toilets, vanity sinks and cabinets as well as the door and adjoining room it is best to remove everything and start from scratch. This means removing the old underlayment as well. You have to create a level surface or the tiles will crack or break. Most ceramic floor tile is
