| | Do you have decorative brick work or natural stone that you need to clean but are afraid you could damage it? You should be weary, as it is very easy to damage if you do not clean it correctly. Improper use of cleaning chemicals can destroy it, discolor it, and ruin it. Using the wrong kind of brush can do the same thing. Cleaning it with a pressure washer could be your best bet, but if you use the wrong pressure tip, all bets are off on that too. The biggest problem with using a pressure washers come from inappropriately choosing the wrong tip. For instance a "zero tip" will dig a horrible hole, which is just terrible unless you are attempting to drill a hole for an anchor iron to hang something. The zero tip could cut off someone's finger if it were used as a weapon. Another common tip to use is the 15 degree tip, most all pressure washers, even the little electric, Chinese built home units often have these. And although these little units only have 800 to 1500 psi, with a zero tip, if you get too close to the natural stone you can very easily cause permanent damage. Thus, I recommend keeping the pressure wand 12 inches away at all times when cleaning natural brick and to choose a 25 degree tip or larger, I recommend a 45 degree tip just to play it safe. The second problem with folks that clean natural brick is using the wrong chemicals that can permanently stain the brick, so it's best to use a semi-hard bristle brush, soap and water and a 45 degree pressure washing tip at the end of the gun or wand. | |

Home remodeling and improvement is on the minds of many these days, but some home owners fail to consider the valuable potential livable space they have downstairs. However, when you measure the cost of putting an addition on your home verses basement waterproofing and remodeling, you will see that waterproofing the lower level wins hands down.
Looking for a coat rack can be a frustrating experience. After finally deciding that you need an area where coats are easily accessible, you still want to maintain some form of organization.
Storms bring a lot of rain and present several problems. In places with a lot of vegetation, most of the water is absorbed by the ground, but impermeable surfaces such as paved roads result in a lot of surface runoff.
