Sun Lounger Cushions, How to Relax Outside

If you’re looking to enjoy the outdoors and relax in style then a sun lounger is the perfect way to do so. The problem is that most outdoor loungers are uncomfortable to lie on without adding a cushion. The many different styles of cushions come in many shapes so finding the right one can make all the difference between having a relaxing time outside or feeling uncomfortable and unable to relax.

Most types of garden furniture can be uncomfortable to sit on and a towel on the grass or wooden seat just won’t do if you’re looking to spend a fair amount of time outdoors. Sun lounger cushions offer the perfect way to relax whilst enjoying the outdoors as they provide a comfortable and durable cushion allowing you to lie back and enjoy the fresh air. Most outdoor furniture is generally made from either a metal, wood, or plastic frame with strong string or bars forming the seating area so without a cushion they can be very uncomfortable to sit or lie on for an extended period of time.

Most outdoor loungers can be adjusted to fit a wide variety of different positions from upright resembling a chair to almost horizontal resembling a bed. As a result a good cushion need to fit the size and type of sun lounger you have and be flexible enough to adjust to the changing positions. You’ll want to ensure that the cushion has the required amount of padding to be comfortable. Other considerations to take into account are the durability of the cushion, whether the style matches your other outdoor furniture, and whether the cushion in waterproof.

LED Light Bulbs – The Real Energy and Money Saver for Home Lighting

When you are about to renovate or move into a new home, the lighting system of the home is something that you should pay a lot of attention to. For one, this is due to the fact that lighting usually takes up almost 25% of your overall electricity bill. It is also important to ensure that your lighting system is designed well to make sure that your home is well-illuminated, and to make sure that the lighting system helps to make your home better in terms of beauty and aesthetics. Thus rather than considering conventional light bulbs to light up your home, why not opt for LED home lighting options instead? LEDs are not only energy-efficient, they are also highly useful if you are looking to save money in terms of electricity bills. And they undoubtedly look better than traditional light bulbs.

Let us now look at some of the more important reasons of why home LED lighting is becoming increasing popular recently:

1) LED lights are exceptionally efficient, and display an efficiency rate of almost 80%. They do not generate much heat, thus it does not take electricity to heat up the filament like how it works in conventional lights, and only a small fraction of the energy used to heat up filaments is used to light up LEDs. Undoubtedly the best lighting technology out there currently in terms of energy efficiency.

2) Longer life spans can be expected when you invest in these lights. When used well, LEDs can be utilized without any complication for more than one hundred thousand hours, translating to more than eleven hours of continuous use without much complication. Most of the usual bulbs that are being used today need to be changed in less than a quarter of that duration, and when you compare this to LED lights, you can clearly see the savings that you are about to reap in terms of maintenance and replacement bulbs.

3) Save more electricity with LEDs, as you would reap the benefits of the efficiency levels of these lights immediately. When you consider that almost a quarter of your monthly electricity bill goes to lighting, you can save quite a lot if you ask me!

4) LED lights are also considerably safer, as there are no dangerous substances to worry about such as mercury (as found in CFL lights) or other hazardous materials. They also do not release or emit any UV rays that are hazardous to health as opposed to conventional lights such as halogen bulbs and CFLs that do.

5) LEDs are more environmentally-friendly, as they utilize less electricity to run, and are more energy-efficient. When you use these lights, you require less electricity to power your lights as they convert electricity to light energy more effectively, and thus you help the environment by utilizing less energy. At the same time, less heat energy is generated, which means that you are assisting in the efforts against global warming as well.

LED lights would without doubt take over the world of lighting in the near future, thus it is advisable that you embrace the change now and reap the benefits immediately! All the best!

Eliminating Bed Bugs in Homes With Pets

There are certain things you need to consider while eradicating bed bugs in homes with pets. Eliminating bed bugs involve the use of insecticides which may perhaps be harmful for your pets and hence we have listed a few effective tips below.

Do not use pyrethrin or pyrethrum on the mattresses, couches or pet bed directly. According to the poison control centres, these insecticides are known to cause loads of poisoning incidents as compared to all other pesticides. Therefore, read the labels before you choose any of your products for bed mites.

Limit specific areas for your pets to sleep. These bed bugs could be lingering in small openings, cracks or furrows around the house, which can cause a lot of problems to be pets. Hence, you must keep a safe sleeping area for your pets, free from the possible invasion of bed mites. You could also spray the pet beds with cedar oil and repeat the treatment every few weeks. In case if the pet beds are infested with bugs, you must either discard them or wash them in hot water.

Do not use conventional flea treatments to treat your pets of bedbugs. These treatments are not effective for bugs and they could be extremely dangerous for your pets. According to the environmental agencies, all those products intended to eliminate fleas have killed loads of pets every year. Flea medications normally come with a lot of adverse effects and most times, the pets are not able to sustain them.

The easiest way to kill Bed Bugs is to use the proper treatments that actually work, I realize this is a problem that requires urgent attention, so if you want to get rid of your bed bugs visit www.BugBedTreatment.com

Solar Power Math Problems – Part II, Calculating Wire Size

In Part 1, we discussed how to calculate solar panel electrical circuits to avoid possible safety issues during their installation and use. Our calculated circuit current from Part 1 was 10.585 Amps.

Now that we’ve determined how much current might be produced, I need to select the correct wire size. I’m using type USE-2 cable from the solar panels to the combiner box where the circuit breakers are located. USE-2 cable is UL listed for outdoor use in hot areas (90C) and is also sunlight resistant. The temperature derating of USE-2 in 141-158F is 0.58

[NEC 310.16]

• Ampacity of USE-2 cable, 10AWG: 40 amps
  
• 40 amps times 0.58 = 23.2 amps
  
• Ampacity of USE-2 cable, 12AWG: 30 amps
  
• 30 amps times 0.58 = 17.4 amps
  
• Ampacity of USE-2 cable, 14AWG: 25 amps
  
• 25 amps times 0.58 = 14.5 amps

The wire size has to be able to handle 125% of the derated PV Source Circuit Current (10.585A), so 10.585A times 1.25 = 13.23A. Our wire has to be thick enough to handle 13.3 amps, so either of these sizes would meet the electrical code.

Temperature derating for multiple cables. There is an additional factor to be aware of if these wires are running through conduit. Based on the number of current carrying conductors (positive conductors), the wire is derated according to the following: [NEC 310.15(B)(2)(A)]

• 4-6 conductors: 80%
  
• 7-9 conductors: 70%
  
• 10-20 conductors: 50%

If these 10 these circuits are running through conduit, then the rating for 10AWG (40A > 23.2A) is reduced yet again. 23.2 times 0.5 = 11.6 amps. I can either run 9 circuits in conduit and run 1 circuit free (allowed with USE-2 cable) and derate the circuits in conduit to 70% (16.24A), or divide the runs, with 5 circuits per conduit and derated to 80% (18.56A).

Something else to consider is resistance. Thinner wires have more resistance than thicker wires which reduces the amount of power available at the end. And, the lower the voltage, the greater the power loss.

• DC Resistance of 14AWG wire: 2.5 ohms/1000ft
  
• DC Resistance of 12AWG wire: 1.6 ohms/1000ft
  
• DC Resistance of 10AWG wire: 1.1 ohms/1000ft

I have fairly short wiring runs (less than 50 feet). The following table shows the calculated voltage drop (loss) for a 50′ circuit, at various DC voltages, with a 10 amp load. The voltage drops even further on longer runs. At 12 volts, a 500′ circuit loses so much, that it’s only 2.4 volts at the opposite end!

• 2 AWG
  
• 12 VDC: 11.84 V @ 10 amps
  
• 24 VDC: 23.84 V @ 10 amps
  
• 48 VDC: 47.84 V9 @ 10 amps
  
• 96 VDC: 95.84 V @ 10 amps

• 10 AWG
  
• 12 VDC: 10.9 V
  
• 24 VDC: 22.9 V
  
• 48 VDC: 46.9 V
  
• 96 VDC:94.9 V

• 12 AWG:
  
• 12 VDC: 10.4 V
  
• 24 VDC: 22.4 V
  
• 48 VDC: 46.4 V
  
• 96 VDC:94.4 V

Once the PV Source Circuits are at the circuit breakers, they are combined at the PV Combiner Box to form the PV Output Circuits. The PV combiner box can combine 12 PV source circuits into 1 PV output circuit, or split those same 12 PV source circuits into 2 PV output circuits. After factoring in the math (and based on the charge controller limitations), our 10 PV source circuits are combined into 2 PV output circuits:

[NEC 690.8(A)(2)]

• PV Source Circuit Current times number of circuits times 1.25 (twice) equals PV Output Circuit Current.
  
• 7.3A times 10 circuits = 73.0A times 1.25 = 91.25 times 1.25 = 114.06 (we’ll round up to 115A).
  
• 7.3A times 5 circuits = 43.8A times 1.25 = 54.75 times 1.25 = 57.03A (we’ll round up to 60A).

The charge controllers (Outback MX-60) are rated for continuous duty at 60 amps and 125 volts DC. In deciding the system voltages, we had to take this limitation in account. Again, more math:

[NEC 690.7]

• sum of the maximum voltages (Voc) of panels wired in series, times the weather correction factor
  
• 66.4 + 66.4 = 132.8 volts, times 1.13 = 150 volts, which is way over the 125 volt limit.

If I need higher voltages in the future, I may be able to rewire the panels and mix them with 24V panels. Assuming the 24 volt panels have a maximum voltage of 44.2 volts (like the BP 3160 solar panels): 66.4 + 44.2 = 110.6, times 1.13 = 124.978, which is right at the 125 volt charge controller limit. Of course, I would also have to keep the source circuit currents in mind as well.

From this point (the combiner box) to the DC equipment inside the house, everything is calculated for 60 Amps.

THHN/THWN wire is rated for 70C and is suitable for running in conduit. The first set of solar panels is two circuits. There’s room on the roof for even more solar panels, which might be an additional 2 circuits in the future, so we’re planning ahead and using larger conduit. We know that eventually we may have 4 circuits in the conduit, and that the conduit will be warm (but not as warm as the wires at the solar panels). [Table 310.16]

• THWN wire is derated as: Rating times 0.88 for (96-104°F ambient temperature), times 80% (4 conductors in conduit)
  
• 3AWG is rated as 100A times 0.88 = 88A times 0.8 = 70.4A
  
• 2AWG is rated as 115A times 0.88 = 101.2A times 0.8 = 80.96A

We can use 3 AWG wire, but 2 AWG provides less power loss (and is usually readily available and in stock at most do-it-yourself places).

An equipment ground wire is also required, and its size is based on the size of the largest breaker (60A), BUT if the wiring on the PV Output Circuits has been oversized (like ours), then the equipment ground wire also has to be oversized to the size of the PV Output Circuit wires.

[NEC 690.45], [NEC 250.122]

Eventually, there will be 4 PV Output circuits plus the equipment ground wire running in conduit from the roof. Each circuit has two wires, so total wires is 9 counting the ground wire. We’re using 2″ conduit which has room for a total of 12 wires (if they’re all 2AWG).

When wires are first installed in conduit, you’re allowed 40% fill based on the diameter of all the wires involved. The number of wires you’re installing and the 40% fill ratio determines the minimum size of conduit allowed, and just one extra wire could mean having to install larger diameter conduit (which starts getting expensive pretty fast). There’s a provision in the NEC that can help save money, although it’s not very pretty: If the equipment ground wire is 6 AWG or larger, the ground wire is allowed to be attached to the outside of the conduit. [NEC 250.64]

There are many types of conduit, but not all are approved for use in the outdoors where rain and sun are present. Rigid metal conduit (RMC) and Intermediate metal conduit (IMC) are approved. Liquidtight is approved if it’s sunlight resistant. Schedule 40 PVC conduit is also approved if it’s rated sunlight resistant, but I’ve still seen it deform in normal summer temperatures. Electrical metallic tubing (EMT) is not approved for outdoors where exposed to weather, and Schedule 80 PVC conduit is not approved for outdoors where exposed to sunlight.

Where multiple wires are installed in conduit, the cross section of the wires is only allowed to fill up to 40% of the cross section of the conduit. The cross section of #2 AWG THWN wire is 0.1158 square inches. The cross section of nine wires is 1.0422 square inches. The conduit fill tables in Chapter 9 of the NEC specifies that 1.5″ RMC allows up to 0.829 square inches, and 2″ RMC allows up to 1.363 square inches.

If we were concerned about exceeding conduit fill, there’s a provision in the NEC that allows us to run the equipment ground wire attached to the outside of the conduit, IF the equipment ground wire is 6 AWG or larger. But remember, if the equipment ground wire is 6 AWG or smaller, it MUST have green insulation (marking with green tape is not approved). Larger ground wires can be marked with green tape, etc.

Hang a Door – How to Replace a Door in Your Home

You will need:
Circular saw
Plane
Cordless Drill
Hole saw (2 1/8)
Spade drill bit (7/8)
Pencil
Hammer
Screwdriver
Chisel
Door

Replacing a door is a great job for anyone with some DIY experience. If your old door is damaged, warped or simply just unattractive then you may want to consider hanging a new one.

1) The first step to buy a suitable door for your frame. Make sure that you have measured the door and know the dimensions needed. You will need to measure the height, width and depth. Doors will typically be the same depth and similar heights but the width often differs.
2) Remove the pins from the hinges on the old door. You may be able to do this by hand or you may need a hammer and a sharp tool to knock them out of position. Start with the bottom hinge and work up so that the door will not fall on you. Once removed the door should fall away from the frame and can be removed.
3) If you intend to keep the same handle and fittings then remove them from the old door and set them aside. Take note of how they fit into the door.
4) Your new door may fit in the frame perfectly but it is more likely that it will be slightly too large. Place the new door on top of the old door and trace around it so that you know how much to cut the new door down by. When tracing consider that you will only want to cut from the bottom and the hinged sides. Position the doors suitably.
5) Cut off the excess. If you need to take off a significant amount then split the difference between parallel sides of the door. If not stick to cutting only two sides of the door. Use a circular saw or, for very slight adjustments, a plane to trim the edges.
6) Place the doors on top of each other again and check that all the sides are flush. Mark onto the new door the locations of the hinges and use a craft knife to score the area.
7) Using a hammer and chisel hollow out the area you have marked out carefully. Check that the hinge will sit in the hollow and that its edges are flush with the edge of the side of the door. Screw the hinges to the door.
Place the new door in its frame and mark where the strike plate meets the door. Your new handle should have come with a template, use it to mark onto the door where the handle and latch need to be. If you are using your old door handle then take the measurements from the old door.
9) Use a suitably sized hole saw and spade bit to cut holes for both the handle and latch. Attach both.
10) Hang the door, reinserting the pins into the hinges. It should open freely without resistance.
The new door is now in position. If you are replacing more than one door then repeat the process for the other doors in the house.

How Infrared Heating Works

Infrared heaters use infrared light; a type of light that can not be seen by the naked eye. Infrared heating comes from the light itself that it projects, despite the fact you cannot see it. This means that the light will heat whatever it is hitting, rather than it automatically heating up the environment. For example, when the sun is shining and you can feel the heat on your body, it tends to die right down if you go into the shade. This is the effect that a basic infrared heater has.

There is more than one type of infrared heater. A basic one will just beam out infrared light in a straight line and only heat whatever it hits in its path. This could be useful if placed by a spot where you often reside, such as your bed or your desk. The direct heat can be very comforting, but it’s not as appropriate for raising the overall temperature of a room. However, infrared heaters like I said come in different types. The other main type is the kind that has a heat exchanger and fan included, so that the heat from the infrared bulb gets increased and circulated, resulting in a surrounding heat. The heat exchanger tends to be made from a very conductible metal such as copper.

Infrared heaters can be sourced by a variety of fuels, such as electricity or propane. They can be particularly environmentally friendly, and can come in a portable form. The strength of heat really depends on the specification of the given heater, and often they can come with timers. This means you could, for example, have it switch off after a couple of hours when you’re in bed going to sleep at night. An infrared heater can come with a thermostat for controlling the current output. Filter control also appear on some.

So, why are infrared heaters more environmentally friendly? Well, no matter what, heaters are always going to have some sort of effect on the environment. And in this case it does depend on the specification of a given infrared heater. For example, electricity-powered infrared heaters don’t release emissions, and there is a huge lack of harmful fumes being let off too. Such heaters can even be built to not take any oxygen out of the air. This is certainly good for a person’s breathing.

Basically, this is not a type of heater that should be used to replace a primary way of heating a home. Infrared heating is not meant for heating homes, it’s more so for heating a cool area that is lacking any heat access. A lot of homes with central heating can end up with rooms that are not warm enough. This is where infrared heating can be appropriate for use. In all honesty, infrared heaters can be used for just about anything that needs direct heat. For example, you can use it to dry wet paint by positioning the heater appropriately.

Cecil enjoys reading and spending time with family and friends. He enjoys the cozy warm offered by an infrared heating system. Cecil likes to tinker in his workshop and heavy duty construction heaters keep his work space warm enough to work all day!

How To Remodel Your Kitchen Without Spending Much

The heart of a home is the kitchen. Thus, it needs to be beautiful, cozy and its ambiance should be delightful enough to unload you from a heavy, stressful day. More importantly, the kitchen is where the family usually gathers for fellowship and converse the happenings throughout the day. It should be hygienic too. It will be absurd if you serve healthy foods in a germ mutating area.

But this is also where you work tiresome dish washing, cooking and cleaning. Hence, it needs to be in a place where you can still be energetic even when you are busy and tired.

How can you remodel your kitchen according to the trend today with less expenses? Considering the crisis most of the people is experiencing, you need to carefully follow some tips to get the quality you desire without spending much.

Plan, Explore and Discover. You need to plan your tentative budget, target date of starting and finishing the work. The color and design suited for you and your family. You can visit open house exhibits.

Explore its designs, quality and brands of the materials used. Discover the variety of contractor’s price. Compare the prices of the materials inclusive in the contractor’s package deals. Be careful! You might be tricked with it’s prices from the hardware just near you.

Solicit advices and opinions. Gather ideas from friends or even relatives yet, it is always best to create your own style with originality which designs are with personal touch.

Choose the right time to execute your plan. When it’s not a peak season in your town that everybody gets to renovate and remodel their houses, it is the right time. The demand for contractors, architect, carpenters, and materials is low thus, its cost is also low. But when the demand is high it is untimely to accomplish your plan with a shoestring budget.

Choose materials carefully. There are materials sold with discounts but are still with good quality. The materials should be of great value so as the entire house resale value won’t depreciate if and when you decide to sell it.

Do it yourself. If there are faucets, sink, counter tops, cabinets that you can fix them all by yourself – do it! No need for contractors, plumbers, carpenters, or architect. If you are confident in you creativity with designs and taste of art – do it. It will not cost you much nevertheless, it will add value to yourself and your abode.

Even if funds are readily available it is still wise to be prudent.

Buying kitchen tile is one of the most stressful task when you are doing a kitchen remodeling. Just remember to choose bright colored kitchen tiles if you want to add sunshine into your kitchen.

People don’t often consider that having a home weather station can be a real bonus. This is particularly true if you live in an area that can be prone to severe and rapid changes in the weather such as tornadoes, hurricanes, or severe wind or ice storms.

Generally these storms are preceded by changes in the pressure readings. Knowing what those changes are, and watching for them can help you to keep your family safer.

How do you find the best weather station, what does it take to be a good one, and how do you be sure that the one that you select is cost-effective and suitable for you?

Choosing your home weather station is best approached by taking a look at three different factors:

• Your Budget
• Your Needs
• Your Placement Opportunities

What is the best station for you is going to be partly dictated by your budget. That doesn’t mean that you can’t get the best that you can afford. It means to get what you can afford and don’t spend a vast sum of money on something that you not only can’t afford, but has a learning curve that may take you months to overcome.

Getting a great weather station can be accomplished for under 100 dollars. It will be one that will offer you pressure and temperature and humidity as well as other items that you’d like to see. Frankly, if you’re not a weatherman, and do not really need massive technology, then buying it is futile and a waste of money. Get the weather station that you can afford, as well as the one that you need to accomplish your tasks.

Some weather stations offer you some really outstanding software as well as the ability to connect to your computer and to offer your readings online on various websites. If you are into the more social aspects of weather networking, then this is the type of home weather station that will be best for you and your intended purposes.

If you’d merely like to be able to read the temperature and the humidity and pressure, then one of the smaller models will work best for you and will also offer you the ability to place it in a less sunny area and make your readings more accurate.

Smaller models, not really a weather station, are equipped with an outdoor sensor and an indoor element to permit you a digital reading will typically cost about 30-50 dollars and work very well for your needs. They last several years and are a fairly accurate model. You can place them right outside the door so they don’t need any real special consideration.

Laser home weather stations may require a pole or a location that is away from the home somewhat to provide them with an accurate setting, will set you behind for about 300-400 for a good setup that will give you all of the minute details that you would like to have.

Set a reasonable budge based on what you need and what you can actually use.

Evaluating The Growing Use Of Steel Garages

Initially, when garages were used in the 19th century, they were meant to be used as “a way to protect your precious belongings”. But, after that, many changes have taken place both technically, design wise and utility wise. If you look at the way garages were used in the beginning of the 20th century, they were used for keeping cars because cars were considered precious then. These garages were erected separately from the houses. They were nothing but simple sheds made of wood because wood was easily available those days. There would be a link in the garages through which cars were taken out to the roads through driveways.

If you compare the modern garages with the old ones, you may wonder how technology has changed every facet of our lives. Because every family has more than one car, they need a bigger garage nowadays that can accommodate a number of cars. The modern ones are steel garages and you have a common door that links them to your house. You need not come out of your house to enter the garage.

Steel garages come in the form of pre-fabricated, pre-punched and pre-drilled steel. Therefore, you can erect the garages yourself without having to seek the help of professionals.

You can have an enclosed steel garage or an open one. You have unlimited possibilities to choose the size and design of your garage. You can also have steel doors such as up-and-over doors, sectional doors, a round and corner door or a roller door.

With technological advancement, you can even have complex electric wiring, ventilation systems and plumbing in your steel garages. Therefore, these garages can appropriately be used for protecting anything. They can also be used for all types of shelter requirements. Especially, your cars can be protected from all the vagaries of weather.

These garages can be used for protecting your cars, boats or even any other thing that must be protected from sun, snow and rain. You can rest assured that your valuable possessions will get optimum protection with these garages. You can even plan to have insulation and climate controls in these garages. Use of these garages assures you peace of mind because your valuables will be protected from theft also.

Steel garages can be used as on site storage options. You can store almost all your items in them and access them easily whenever they are needed. Instead of using public storage units for which you should spend quite heavily, you can use these garages for storing whatever items you wish to store. When you plan to use these garages as storage units, you can have shelves and other storage necessities in them. These shelves and other storage accessories can either be stand-alone or additional built-ins because you can store your items in addition to your vehicles. Since you have the option of installing temperature control and insulation mechanisms, you can store almost anything. There is no worry that your items will get frozen or over-heated.

Another major advantage with steel garages is that they can be used as additional rooms. Yo can customize them accordingly so that you can use them as play rooms, games rooms, working areas or even as your Home Office. If the garages are wired or provided with good acoustics, you can use them as entertainment rooms. If you have them made with suitable colors and designs that go well with those of your house, they will naturally blend with your main house and you can use them as if they are original parts of your house.
