Hollow Blocks

These are the hollow blocks at home that we are going to use for our house construction. They are not complete yet,  we still need more hollow blocks and other things to start building our house. Little by little we are trying to save money so we can start it as soon as we have complete materials so far all we need are cement and different kind of steels.

My father said we should have the money soon because the hollow blocks are not getting any better when the day passed by. They will broke and get older.

Orchids

If there’s one thing you will admire on my grandmother’s house that is her orchids. They are healthy and flowering, the stems are big and mighty. Her secret, every morning she will water them with pee from her chamber pot. No less, no more! You can also try this on your home if you want your orchids to bloom like this. 🙂

When I was still a little kid I have learned from her that watering the orchids with the water waste from washing the rice beforre cooking is healthy because it will help the orchids to have more roots. I have proved it but the problem though, there are rice grain sometimes so the ants are having a feast on our drift woods.

Why Heating Is Essential

Every building requires central heating and with so many different products available it can be hard and time consuming to choose the right products.

Piping, heating elements and fixtures are also required for industry and as this will often require equipment designed to withstand extreme temperatures it is important that all of the equipment used is specific for the function required of it.

Firstly, it is important to buy products from a company that has expertise in this field to ensure the products you are buying are of a good standard. This will also ensure that advice can be sought on the products if needed. Flexelec have been providing their expertise and research into heating elements to bring the best products expertly designed for various needs for over thirty years. They are also in operation across the globe and have staff available to assist you throughout your project. Their on-going market and product research help to make them the go to experts in the field of heating.

Secondly, you must consider the type of building that you will be working with. For example if the building will need to have underground pipes to connect it to the main supply then pipe tracing for winter needs to be considered as during the cold winter months the water within the pipes can freeze. This often results in the expansion of the pipes that can lead to further damage which is often unnoticed until flooding occurs. Replacing underground pipes is obviously very expensive and time consuming and should be avoided at all costs. Electric trace heating cables are a great way to avoid this. These cables regulate the temperature of the pipes to prevent them freezing despite external temperatures.

As temperature control can be maintained by using the correct equipment it is important to use the correct cable for the specific function and heat trace solutions are the perfect way to find the right cable for your specific needs. There are cables designed for refrigeration, hot water or extremely high temperatures for industry use. All of the cables are specifically manufactured to have a reactive core to ensure the temperatures inside the pipes are regulated thus preventing any associated problems.

With the experts at Flexelec on hand to assist you with any problems you come across or advice you may need you cannot go wrong.

Our new refrigerator

My mother has been telling me that she wants to buy refrigerator so they could stock food without spoiling and she could sell some processed food. So in the morning after visiting the stores that are burnt down by fire we went to a merchandise store to inquire how to get refrigerator by installment.

My mother and sister were already known by the owner because it is the same store where they get there motorcycle, they were told what the requirements to avail refrigerator by installment.

We went to town last week to see if the money I withdrawn and my father’s salary already came, it was there already so my mother withdrawn money to pay for down payment.

General Cleaning

Being away for three years seems so long. Our house is now in the process of decayed, the walls are now been eaten by termites, the floor was already cracked that’s why my mother decided not to change the linoleum anymore because she said it is going to be same.

 Well instead of wandering around and seeing everything I didn’t see for long three years I do general cleaning inside our house together with my mother and sister. We washed clothes, blankets, mosquito nets and everything. I cleaned the cabinets, dishes rack, floors and etc. The house is quite dusty maybe because we are just beside the busy street where trucks, jeepneys and motorcycles are going on and on.

 My sister actually gets angry with me for cleaning the vcd rack because I cleaned the disc one by one which she think a lot of work because after few days it will be dusty again.

Cleaning at Home

We are quite busy these past few days. My mother and I just arrived from Manila yesterday after fetching me, today I do some cleaning at home because it was too dusty. And as expected my mother get angry because her things and important receipts where misplaced.  Anyway she didn’t know that I just set the receipts in top of the bed.

Create a Summer Playground in your Backyard!

While we encourage our children to play outdoors and exercise daily, it can sometimes be difficult when the warmer months of summer hit. Creating a cool and welcoming outdoor environment will enable you children to play safely, even when the sun is at its brightest. If you’re looking for some fun and interesting ways to keep your kids cool this summer, check out these family-friendly activities below.

Go for a Swim

It seems like one of the most obvious ways to cool down, but this activity needn’t be restricted to families with large pools. Children love to play in kid-sized pools and you’ll find that they’ll provide hours of enjoyment. Most parents end up joining in on the festivities, because on a hot summer’s day, taking a dip with your kids is the best fun!

Create a Shaded Environment

Shade is the key to keeping your kids cool and safe in summer. Sunburn and heatstroke are not pleasant, to say the very least, so avoid these nasties by creating a shaded play environment for your children. Erect a temporary shade sail or even take advantage of the natural shade provided by trees, whatever you do, your kids will love playing outdoors in their new, cool environment. You can also check out some of the new home and land packages Sydney has to offer for ideas on the latest shade solutions.

Make a Cool Foods Station

One of the best ways to cool off in the midst of a heat wave is to consume cold food or drinks. Frozen fruit is always a favourite with kids in summer, simply place orange slices or grapes into the freezer for a quick cool down. Take the mess outside and get your kids involved in making some fun treats of their own. Make all natural smoothies or turn your smoothies into ice pops, the choice is yours!

Water Play Station

Now this may sound impressive (and it will be), but that doesn’t mean that it has to be expensive. Creating a water play station will have your children amused for hours and will help to keep them from overheating on a hot day. Purchase a cheap plastic table, fill different sized containers and trays with water and add some water-safe toys – and you’ve got yourself a water play station! The different sized containers and shapes will allow your children to create waterfalls and different sound effects, while cooling off with the splashes of water.

Bobbing for Apples

If you’re restricted by the size of your yard, always remember that you can still have fun while raising your children in an apartment or townhouse. Activities such as ‘bobbing for apples’ will have you all in stitches, while you cool down in the process! One of the best things about activities such as this is that you only need the space for a bucket and some towels to dry off! Don’t worry if you’re limited on space, there’s still plenty of fun to be had!

Your kids will love you for creating their new favourite play space, while you’ll be happy knowing that they’re cool and protected from the sun. For the best summer fun, try out these activities today!

Old Wooden Cabinets in the Street

The other night while I walking to Family Mart to buy some food I saw a cat in the garbage area looking for food. So I stopped by and take some photos, as you can see in the photo there are also some old wooden cabinets that are thrown by the owner.  These cabinets are still reusable dunno if someone picked them at night or they are picked by the garbage in the morning to be thrown and turn to pieces like what I saw on the previous cabinet I saw in the street.

Cleaning and Organizing Files

I am a type of person that I want my things to be organized according to what I want, that ‘s why even on my laptop I made sure my files are organized. The files that I think I don’t need anymore is automatically deleted but there are times I forgot that I save something important on that folder so after I  clean up computer I will just found out my important files are missing.  I can’t retrieved them anymore because I have a habit of cleaning my recycle bin, disk and registry after logging out.

I thought I already learned my lesson when I did it twice but I was wrong because I did it again the other day. I accidentally deleted the vectors I bought online and the theme I patiently made. I downloaded date recovery program but the programs I used didn’t work.

Cleaning the Bathroom and Kitchen

I cleaned the bathroom and kitchen today. The bathroom already looks too dirty for me maybe because the wall and tiles are white so it is easy for me to know it’s dirty, luckily the windows are all open so I was not suffocated with the smell of bleach. Instead of using the bleach for tiles cleaning I used the normal bleach for washing my husband says it is going to be the same effect so I didn’t buy the bleach for bathroom anymore. Using the normal bleach is also cheaper than buying a commercial bathroom cleaner. I was too engrossed while cleaning so when I turn on the faucet little did I know that the shower is on so I ended up with a wet clothes.

Instead of changing my clothes after cleaning the bathroom I decided to clean the kitchen as well. The aroma of the soup we cooked the other day is still lingering in the kitchen so I also used bleach and scrubbed the yellow tiles of our kitchen. I cleaned it thoroughly including the gas range, tomorrow  hopefully I can clean the balcony.
