Use Felt-Pads as Floor Scratch Protector

scratch-protector-felt

To protect your floors (especially vinyl tile floors & linoleum) from scratches & cuts, one good protector to use is this felt/pads. The photo shown has built-in nail and used specifically on wood furniture footing/surface. Easy to use, just hammer the pads to the surface and walah, your done. Some variety has self-adhesive, therefore you can stick ‘em to other materials such as metal, laminate, aluminum, glass, ceramic, etc.  This is widely available in your favorite hardware stores like Ace Hardware, Handyman and other hardware stores on the block and goes about P10.00 a piece.

Flower Power: Flowers & Plants Inside Your Home

rose-darkAre there flowers in your home right now?

If none, I recommended getting a bunch.

Thinking Feng-Shui-ish, flowers can your spirits, make a room brighter and energize your home. No only that, having flowers is a beautiful way to greet your visitors… some flowers can give refreshing scent… and don’t forget that flowers easily add physical beauty to a room.

So, why not get a bundle of three, a bouquet, a vase of freshly picked roses or heck, even the whole enchilada, a whole potted plant with blooming flowers. A big time bonus, these plants give off oxygen into the air. WOW FREE CLEAN OXYGEN.

And, in no time of course, these flowers should dry up. By then, their service aint done. You could collect dried flowers and leaves and use these as potpourri. Still great display… why not dump this dried flowers onto a bowl of water and put floating candles too. (others tough prefer not have “dead” leaves & flowers inside their homes to do away with the geagative energy)

In the Philippines, roses are the fave, no question. Other option is Sampaguita, beaded necklace Sampaguita can be place on altars. Feng-shui says, its great to have wooden plants inside your home, you know, those little bamboo type plants. BTW, wood represents growth & wealth.

Problem is, flowers aint cheap in Metro Manila. You can buy flowers from mall or the nearest market. But the cheapest way to get flowers in Metro Manila is at Dangwa (I think it’s Sampaloc), Quiapo too. The easiest way albeit more expensive, is via online flower shops that operate in the Philippines. Another wise option if living in Metro is get a flower-bearing-plant that can survive the indoors, the metro-heat and metro-pollution. By the way, growing this plant is another challenge and fun stuff on its own.

In rural and sub-urban areas areas, getting flower bundle is easier and cheaper, local palengke has flower stalls. And growing plants/flowers there is easier as well. Easily, so you can grow like roses with no problems at all. Again, growing plants on its own, will give you pleasure and a stress-relieving exercise as well.

Be it in your office, kitchen, dining room, living room, or bedroom, use the power of flower all the time.

Bamboo, In Focus

bamboo-droplet bamboo-droplet-2 bamboo-droplet-4 bamboo-droplet-5 bamboo-droplet-3

Bamboo, in focus… both in photo (macro) and in description, as used in construction.

When treated, bamboo forms a very hard wood which is both lightweight and exceptionally durable. In tropical climates it is used in elements of house construction, construction scaffolding, as a substitute for steel reinforcing rods in concrete construction, and so on. Modern companies are also attempting to popularize bamboo flooring made of bamboo pieces steamed, flattened, glued together, finished, and cut. However, bamboo wood is easily infested by wood-boring insects unless treated with wood preservatives or kept very dry. A lot of institutes and universities are working on the bamboo as an ecological construction material. It is possible to get in the United States and France houses 100% made with bamboo, earthquake and cyclone-resistant, with international certification. Three ISO standards are for bamboo as construction material. Fromwiki.

Bench Press, A DIY Home Gym Set-Up

This Bench Press Outta Do IT…

IT, means the tummy.

Lifting is quite fun. And crunches (sit ups) using bench is more meaningful or effective than just lying on the floor. This is one god step to be healthy again.

This hardware also acts as a motivator, constantly saying “get your lazy fat ass working in here.” Without a thing reminding us to exercise, it’s hard to get away from TV, laptop, console games and idle other activities.

Some photos…

How NOT To Install An Elba Range Hood

elba-range-hood
Not long ago, I installed an ELBA Range Hood. This one, we got (I think) from Anson’s near Landmark. Yep, the new sprawling home appliance and furniture building.

Anyways, i went to hell and back installing the range hood, and just herewith, to help you do this better, this is my article as to how NOT to install this mother.

  1. DONT read the manual. Yep, be lazy like me and assume you’ll be able to figure it out, on fly.
  2. Blame the condo-contractor for putting up one solid, hard to penetrate/drill concrete walls, just for inside walls.
  3. Invite family members for a sleep-over and give them one good morning of extra judicial wall drilling noise.
  4. Buy a short aluminum duct. So that, at the end of the day, you will still not be able to use its duct option. After a half day work, you will still use the charcoal/filter option and not the full exhaust.
  5. Don’t prepare the vacuum cleaner or a trusty broom. Yes, make a mess of the kitchen.
  6. Curse the freakin contractor no end for not having the cabinets provisioned and ready for this range hood. No effing holes for the ducts. I drilled 4 freakin panels, all 4 inches in diameter. I grind a portion of the cabinet just to make way for the hood. Whooooo!
  7. Again, during times of trouble in the installation, skip the manual and go on “BAHALA NA” mode.
  8. Midway thru the 3 hours of drilling, screwing and thinking, eat cheapo-chicaron and be dehydrated even more.
