| | 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. | |

Tight-grained Douglas fir is among the best building materials you'll find anywhere--the beauty and durability of tight, vertical-grain Douglas fir products makes "tight-grained" a buzzword in the lumber market. What you may not know is the story behind this highly-advertised quality. These days, most vertical-grain Douglas fir comes from British Columbia. Why is that the United States' northern neighbor is still producing large, high-quality logs, while the Douglas fir that can be harvested and is grown in Oregon and Washington is mostly smaller, with fewer growth rings per inch? To understand the answer to that question, first you have to understand how those forests came to be.
