Как подготовить для новой установки ковра

Getting new carpet in your home can be such an exciting prospect. Nothing gives a home a new look like new flooring and carpet is still the most popular choice when it comes to home flooring material. It's important you are prepared to have the carpet installed so there will be as little inconvenience to your family as possible.

Important Steps to Take for Carpet Installation

When speaking to the company installing your carpet, it is important to understand who is responsible for moving the furniture . Many companies will move the furniture to another room but not all of them do. Once you establish that fact, you will have a better idea of what you need to do to get ready. Here are some important steps:

  1. Get all items off the floor – while carpet installers might move furniture, that doesn't mean they are going to move your shoes or clothing that happen to be on the floor. All items will have to be off the floor in order to proceed with the installation.
  2. Figure out where the furniture in the room to be carpeted will be moved to. It is best if you can store the furniture in an adjacent room.
  3. Personally remove all valuables. You should move all items of value yourself and put them in a safe place.
  4. Determine how long the installation will last. If the carpet can't be installed in a day, make sure you will have access to all items you need such as toiletries and medications.
  5. Put up your pets. Installing carpet is quite noisy and there are lots of large items which must be carried such as the carpet itself. This can be unnerving to some animals. Find an alternate place for your pets during the installation.

Make sure you take all the necessary steps to prepare for the installation of your new carpet. It will make the process much more bearable and perhaps even move it along more quickly.

Как я ремонтирую Worn-Out Siding кирпича?

Posted: 14 Jul 2010 02:37 PM PDT

Q: I have an old brick house from about the 30’s and it seems like the brick work could use a little work. There are places where the mortar has worn away excessively and some bricks are a little loose or worn. How can I go about fixing the brick work to make it look good as new, or close to that?

A: It certainly sounds like your brick needs some repair work. The most pressing issue seems to be repairing the mortar, or repointing, as it’s called. Brick will last for a very long time, as evidenced by the home in question, which has made it 80 years before repairs became a necessity. Yet repair time has come.

#1 – Repairing the Mortar

First, the worn-away mortar must be replaced. It's important in most cases not to use Portland cement, which is readily available but potentially damaging. It's too hard for most brick and will only accelerate the breaking up, or spalling, of the bricks. Instead, use a mason’s chisel to extract a small sample of the existing mortar, crush it, and pour some household distilled white vinegar over it. This will separate the lime from the sand. The lime will pour off with the vinegar and the remaining sand can be dried out briefly and taken into a mason to be perfectly matched for repointing.

#2 – Check for Cracking

It is also very important that you check for cracking in the brick wall. Passive cracks—those which are not expanding or growing lengthwise—can be repaired by replacing the cracked brick or bricks. However, cracks that are active may represent a more serious problem, such as a pressure point or structural weakness in the wall. The only real way to identify an active crack is to monitor it over a long period of time. Another option, and probably the best one if cracks are evident, is to contact a structural engineer. To fix active cracks, the cause must first be addressed and then the bricks replaced.

#3 – Distressed Look vs. New Brick Finish

As for making the wall look new, this is a matter of aesthetics. While many homeowners are working to make their brick look new, the other half are distressing their brick to make it look old. Still, if the new look is desirable, then a concrete or brick stain is probably your best option. There is a variety of options, so choose carefully with the help of a local paint, masonry or restoration expert

Bear in mind that some sealants form an impermeable layer over the brick (typically providing a more glossy finish) that won’t allow water in, but also won’t allow the brick to breathe or expel any of the moisture that may be inside. This can lead to problems and the further breakdown of the bricks. However, there are sealers that penetrate the brick, protecting against exposure to the elements but also allowing the brick to breathe. However, these finishes typically have a matte finish and may not make the brick look as new as you might want.

Best of luck to you, and thanks for writing in!
