I did not draw out a detail on this, but worked with a wood contractor I trust. I believe he made a cedar 2x4 frame on the back side of the gate, and strengthened that by running a steel cable diagonally. 1x6 cedar boards were attached to the street side. The two halves of the gate line up beautifully. There is a drop rod on the left side, it's the right side that is usually opened.

Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?

Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya

Choosing an Interior Designer

Choosing an Interior Designer If you are thinking of working with an interior designer, be aware that the relationship is, by its very nature, intimate. Given this, you reap immeasurable benefits when you take some time upfront to consider just what it is you want from this person you're about to invite into your life. As with any relationship, clear communication can go a long way to alleviating any misunderstandings. Here are a few questions to ask yourself, questions to ask prospective designers, and some hard-won tips we've picked up along the way. Assess Your Work Style Before you pick up the phone and start calling prospects, spend a few moments thinking carefully about your preferred method of working. This little bit of soul searching will go a long way to ensuring you hire the right person, and will help to lay a solid foundation for a successful working relationship. For starters, think carefully about your answer to these questions: At what level do you want to be involved in the creative process? Do you want to be consulted on the nitty-gritty, day-to-day details, or are you more interested in big picture issues? Similarly, at what level do you want to be involved in the product research? Are you looking for comprehensive, "soup to nuts" guidance, or do you consider yourself design-savvy and only in need of assistance with color, space planning and resources? Are you a visual person or a tactile person? Will you be satisfied with a designer showing you photos of products, or do you prefer to see and feel everything before deciding whether it is right for you? Do you prefer to be shown many options or fewer? Are you open to the input of others? Are you able to make choices with confidence, or do you tend to vacillate? What are your expectations in terms of a timeline Determine the Scope of Your Project The scope of a project to some extent dictates the qualifications and experience required of the interior designer you are hiring. If you are building a new home or addition, or undertaking a major renovation to existing space, you are likely already working with an architect. This is good. Architects and designers often work in concert, balancing the aesthetics of the home's structure, or "bones," with the interior furnishings and finishes. You may want to get your architect involved in the selection of the interior designer—whether it's recommending someone he or she has already worked with, or using one of the interior designers the firm may have on staff. If you're redecorating a single room or have a limited budget for a space that does not require structural change, you may not need an interior designer at all. You may be happy hiring a specialist, such as a color consultant, who can work with your existing furnishings and help you revamp the space with new paint color and fabric selections.

London apartment for long term rent
Q
Commentaires (0)
If by chance any of you is planning to move from your actual city, village or country straight to London, well, what can I say; it’s a very good choice. London is the most important political, financial, cultural and artistic center of the United Kingdom and also one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It’s a bustling and ever changing city, a mixture of old and modern architecture, that abounds in cultural riches and all kinds of concerts.The Great Britain’s capital offers its guests and residents a variety of temptations for London apartment for long term rent the more interesting the more…expensive, from impressive museums and palaces to the typical English pubs that complete the charm of the city on the Thames. So whether you are moving to London for study purposes or you’ve grown tired of your own city or native place and want to be part of the London dream, you must be occupied with trying to find a London apartment for long term rent. In the first instance, it’s important to know that London is NOT a cheap city at all, and even if you’re aware of that, you must acknowledge this fact and be prepared to fork out a quite significant amount of money from your pocket. If you’re financially secure, then it shouldn’t be any problem for you to find an apartment where to live, but if you’re not, finding a London apartment for long term rent might be a little bit difficult. London apartment for long term rent Generally, the level of apartment rent in London depends, as everywhere, of the area in which you want to live and the quarter of that area. An apartment with three rooms outside the center costs around £1500 a month. In case you want to purchase one, expect prices up to £5500/sqm. Zone 2 is, for example, a typical area for those who want to commute in zone 1 (the center) and attend social events a few times a week. In the North-East area, about 8 km from the center, the rent for a room with double bed in a house is around £450 with all the other expenses included. If you want a place only for you, you need at least £600 a month except bills payment. When renting an apartment in London, it is also important to check the distance between it and the closest shopping center, hospital, pharmacy, supermarket and so on, and how far it is from where you are going to work or study and from your point of interest. A better option would be to share an apartment with a friend, in case you already know one already living in London or one that wants to relocate there as well. This means halved expenses. As a conclusion, London is certainly a fascinating city to live in, but don’t let yourself get fooled by its charm, and forget about all the other aspects that you have to consider before relocating there, because this could get you in trouble.
