This is not a surprise for dog owners. It is surprising though that </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline;">our canines can easily get bored by their usual belongings</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">. So, you need to</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;"> provide your flurry pals with new toys on a regular basis</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">, in order to keep them </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">busy and interested in their games</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">. Otherwise all dogs are </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">prone to chew on and play with their human’s personal items</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">, which could be a reason for </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">conflicting situations</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">. You can simply spend a fortune for trendy doggy supplies, that are flooding the market, or you can spend some time to </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">create funny DIY dog projects</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">. If you like the latter, you may need to know that </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">your dog will probably find it interesting not only to play with his new DIY toys, but also to observe you creating them</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;"> So, let him be a part of your “art work”!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Dogs love to play, especially </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">after having a good meal</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">. And a huge part of their games is chewing... almost anything they can find. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; vertical-align: baseline;">The purpose here is to make the dog chew on a particular doggy toy</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">. And the cooler the toy is, the more excited the dog will be about it.</span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;">The most important part of this project is to find a suitcase that fits your dog’s size, in order he to feel comfortable in it. Otherwise your canine may prefer your bed.</span></div>

<span style="vertical-align: baseline;">You can unscrew the top half of the suitcase from the bottom half, if your dog love spacy places to take a rest. But you can left the bottom suitcase half where the dog’s toys could be placed. It’s up to you and your canine’s preferences.</span></div>

<br />
This is one of my more unrelated posts with insights on the blog's visitor statistics. While the blog remains fairly unpopular, I wanted to share some of the key moments of the past year and a plan for the upcoming 2015.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<br />
During 2014 DIY Planet has had near 8,000 pageviews, which accounts to a bit more half of the total views that can be seen in exact accuracy on the bottom right of the sidebar. In addition, there isn't a strong regular-following audience accounting for 90% new sessions, the traffic comes to single posts only.<br />
<h3>
Top Posts in 2014</h3>
<div>
Here is a list with the top posts in 2014 and their visitor stats:</div>
<br />
<ol>
<li><a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.com/2013/05/cleaning-coach-handbag-easy.html" target="_blank">Cleaning a Coach Handbag</a> - the best seller of the blog has 4,500 views during 2014, half of which from mobile devices, which only comes to show women read Ana Cole's post on the go - probably after staining their precious sateen Coach bag.</li>
<li><a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.com/2013/03/diy-chandelier-easy-and-simple-plastic.html" target="_blank">DIY Easy and Simple Chandelier</a> - second with just 500 views, with most of the traffic coming from Google's image search for a... small plastic cup. I won't be bragging here, I must even hide because these are some poor statistics compared to some big blogs I follow. </li>
<li><a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.com/2013/03/diy-vinegar-how-to-make-vinegar.html" target="_blank">How to Make Vinegar</a> - while it hasn't recently been top viewed for the month, making vinegar has been a viewed post on the DIY Planet. One of my favourite posts which will guide you through making your own homemade vinegar. Third with 120 views, the statistics show that the rest of the traffic is evenly separated in little proportions to other posts of mine. </li>
<li><a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.com/2013/04/diy-vinegar-formulas-for-household.html" target="_blank">Cleaning and Vinegar</a> - being on the topic of vinegar I was inspired to write a post about using it for household cleaning. Another 120 people during 2014 have also went through my trusted homemade cleaning solutions. </li>

Funny thing is I don't even use Pinterest. Must do it, and soon!</div>

In conclusion, talking about referral traffic, comments in relevant blogs and website is always good. Some do it for the wrong purpose and I bet they get nothing in return. But see - it is possible and I get quite some traffic.</div>

This post was inspired by a recent <b>press release I wrote for a cleaning company in London</b>.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I have cleaned a lot of properties in
my day and one of the things I found completely baffling was and
still is the decisions some people make when it comes to colours and
their placement. Red bathroom and black living rooms might seem edgy
on paper, but to spend quality time in a dark room or try to relax in
a room with an aggressive colour scheme messes with your brain on a
subconscious level. <b>Colours hold a mystical power over the human
brain</b> and the responsibility to recognize this falls on our
shoulders. </div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Your home is all about comfort and
relaxation. That being set,<b> bright colours belong in certain rooms
with designated functions</b>. I'll break down <b>the three most powerful
and somewhat irritating colours</b> and show you where they can easily
belong and contribute to a healthy life. </div>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
<br /></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Red </h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Fire. Blood. Passion.</b> You
can't get more aggressive than red. <b>Intense and stimulating</b>, red
fills in for coffee, when coffee doesn't cut it and can wake up even
the sleep-deprived. Some specialists have implied<b> </b><a href="http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com/color-red.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">red affects the appetite</a>, so a dining room in a deep, rich shade can turn every meal
into a big, festive event with conversations and jokes. You can make
a bold statement, if you paint your entryway in red. Considering how little time people spend there, brighter shades work as well.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Yellow</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Sun, fun and energy.</b>
Yellow charges people in an instant, so too much can <b>overwhelm</b> an
individual. Paint small spaces or accent walls in a vibrant shade,
while larger rooms can best benefit from more honeyed, subdued
shades. Given its intensity, you should spare your eyes additional
strain and use it as sparingly as possible. <b>Avoid this colour
anywhere near bedrooms, studies or home offices</b>. Even hallways
leading to them can strain your psyche. </div>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">
Orange</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Most people associate this
colour with the fruit and how it tastes.<b> Fresh, citrus
and invigorating </b>best describe this colour. It gathers your
focus and <b>it warms</b> without aggression or strain to your eyes.
Therefore, you can spend more time in rooms painted orange. Exercise
rooms or craft rooms can unlock your full potential, if their walls
have orange in some capacity. Paint in some white to offset the
energy and you will achieve perfection. </div>

A general risk with bright colours
along with white for that matter involves dirt and scuff marks. Dust

<span style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">The easiest thing I can think of to improve is sort the laundry. Are you caught with a huge piles of worn clothes and the last bed linen, towering above your laundry hamper? Forget the sorting out. Open the washing machine and stuff your laundry inside, you can sort it out later. This empties an impressive amount of space, so you can focus on what's important - hiding everything in your bathroom as it doesn't look as if you are too vein. Overpopulate the cabinets and don't fret about the mess - this is a ticking-bomb kind of a mission, so you should look first and foremost as to how you can best keep the room clean. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Sometimes, you've to break common rules and conventions to commit to a cleaner home for your guests, which in this case means you should hide all random possessions under the bed or under the sofa, depending on the room and the situation. Dinner guests won't need to enter your bedroom, so you can lock it and leave it at that, but if you have a special guest over for the night, below the bed sounds like the most reasonable solution. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #595959; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;">Why not, for example, the kids room? Anything can disappear from your sight with ease. Just slide those items in your kid's room until the guests leave. Small children can cause some damage, if you left them unattended with the clutter, but such are the risks. The best tip I have seen in connection to clutter in the children's room in general, which features filling a bean bag with stuffed toys. This makes the bean bag function as a chair and as a storage unit. Clever, eh? </span></span><br />

supplies equal half the job well done. This is why you'd be more than
happy if you have a local hardware store nearby. Still, I bet
supplies quality comes first for <b>bigger and more </b><b>significant</b><b>
diy projects</b>, so here are the most useful and comprehensive
hardware stores in the UK every diy-er must visit.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
Reasons
Why Your Local Store is Not Always the Best</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Being in the eve of a big project, the good preparation is key for further success. You now have to first go to the hardware store, but often the electrical features you need are in another shop. Add that you need plumbing supplies or gardening tools – these are 5 different places you may have to visit.<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjupEK08SMenRKIQbXW67aN2gf6fj-WptqG3C14iNBYha-62WppwvLkTYHqdh6RGBqpqnV6oBGZdurbaQCiE9ldS8K-oSsqcEezcnhqqNO61gqLnN4J9rOKJ60BtsjSS1n1b2DEw7WNgWNR/s1600/small-hardware-store.jpg" height="240" style="text-align: center;" width="320" /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Quality and Prices</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Big hardware and diy chains in the UK
like B&Q, Home Depot, Focus DIY buy directly from manufacturers.
Many have stores all across Britain and try to always give you the
lowest prices. For them, quality means reputation and to reach this
level they surely know its importance.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Product Diversity</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Hand and power tools, keys, locks,
housewares, cleaning products, etc. Different retail lines at one
place – all you need under one roof.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Saving on Commuting</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The commuting to a bigger supplies
store in the UK often proves to be a better investment in several
ways.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Hassle - Gone</b></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Secondly, they are hassle-free and
organised, so that you can find everything at one place. T</div>
<h3>
Here is the list
of the Top 3
DIY Stores in the UK</h3>
<ol>
<li><b>Argos </b>– brands tend to change
ownership. This is one that has done it. But what matters is that
during all those over 45 years this retailer has managed to not only
to survive but always be ahead of the time. Local branches as well
as big out-of-town warehouses – over <b>45000 products</b> are available
at some stores. If you live in UK, you've probably been there done
that. Visit their <a href="http://www.argos.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">website</a>, and locate your local store.</li>
<li><b>Block & Quayle</b> – a brand
with a vast history. Over 40 years of existence with the staggering
<b>359 stores</b> currently in UK. Large warehouse stores + a garden center
- comprehensively covering anything a diy-er needs. It may not be
very diverse when it comes to furniture, but there are furnishing
and décor pieces in excess, for every woman diy-er to fall in love.
And the diy section is full of hand tools, sets, power tools... Just
enter the store and your project is already started – you will
soon be on your way to your place. Fast and easy. Visit <a href="http://www.diy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">BQ website</a>.</li>
<li><b>Homebase </b>– thirt in number of
stores in the United Kigdom. But a DIY store you must also visit.

Two More Things From My To-Do List</h3>

This time it is about creating a pleasant nightly environment. In addition, here we will use something that may be regarded as "useless" in some homes. <br />
<a name='more'></a>Film lens are now gone in the past, you may still keep and value yours, but if you have some at your disposal, you can use it for having your own homemade lampshade. If you are first time on my blog, make sure to check out one of my most viewed posts - <a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/diy-chandelier-easy-and-simple-plastic.html" target="_blank">the DIY chandelier</a>.<br />

<br />
Here I'll let you experiment with the structure of the whole set-up. These metal pieces can be welded together with the sufficient skill and tools, but I think the best method is to find an old lampshade and simply renovate it.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having recently experienced taking a small kitten in my home, I had to come up with something for nail scratching. Fortunately, I did it in time, so the furniture is safe, as much as the cat can get used to scratching its nails on this particular place.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are many different types of scratchers that can be done, but this one became my cat's favourite one.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Materials Needed for the DIY Nail Scratching Post</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Basically this small project includes 3 main components.<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OA-97xC4zw0iNYfKfy7cJOTbzW8gS4nZiOULyWpLZgRCZdcfV0-8s7NfoHREcHvBoLWyjzvES8sthJrGhiGe_9I7Gaky-d4yix4KFoSLHgvTNpa1l7WVsovbKTZAKQYFI8W5fpBptUxs/s1600/post-nail-scratcher.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_OA-97xC4zw0iNYfKfy7cJOTbzW8gS4nZiOULyWpLZgRCZdcfV0-8s7NfoHREcHvBoLWyjzvES8sthJrGhiGe_9I7Gaky-d4yix4KFoSLHgvTNpa1l7WVsovbKTZAKQYFI8W5fpBptUxs/s320/post-nail-scratcher.jpg" title="Post cat nail scratcher" width="240" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li>First, there is <b>a pad to hold the construction upright</b>. This could be any piece of thick wood. You can even use <b>an old cutting board.</b> </li>
<li>Then another piece of wood will be needed.<b> A long one, if possible cylindrical</b>. Cardboard is also an option but it will be harder to join the parts together. Some kind of tube is also an option.</li>
<li><b>Rope</b> - thin, or thick - even these big old ropes will do the job. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Knowing the materials you will pretty much guess how to assemble the scratcher yourself. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A long nail or a screw through the bottom facing the upper side that holds the tube, or the wooden piece upright. Be sure to make it as strong as possible as these little kittens have so much power. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As you can see mine is pretty tidy, but even if you don't put so much effort and care, it will still be one of your cat's favourite places to scratch her/his nails. </div>
<div>

Even though, at a DIY blog, we are not supposed to be lazy, but when it comes to cleaning there are some shortcuts that anyone can take. Are you too lazy to clean? Read further and save yourself some precious time and effort.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
Getting the Best Out of Cleaning Methods</h3>
There are ways for the lazy person to
achieve a relatively high level of cleanliness. The following
guidelines will get you through doing just enough to insure having a
clean and comfortable residence. Cleaning better will actually happen
without feeling any extra effort.<br />
<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h3>
Procrastination is Your Enemy</h3>
The most common case for the lazy
person is to wait until the very last moment, when it is all a big mess. Probably the biggest
mistake. If the work is spread throughout some days during the week, then it
will seem less overall. Choosing to procrastinate today's cleaning
tasks will lead to them becoming more and more with every day that
passes by. <u>Do the little required to insure your residence stays
intact.</u> But if you still decide to leave some of the work for another
day, choose the one when you will have enough spare time to not feel
bothered about having to clean. As if you have limited time you will
find something much better than cleaning to do. Never allow housework
to pile up.<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Cleaning on the Go</h3>
Cleaning on the move is a technique
that will suit lazy people perfectly. If you solve those small
problems while doing something else, for example dusting one or two
surfaces while going from one room to another, will reduce the need
for cleaning to only general areas. However, a person
who does not have time for cleaning, who lives in a big property could prove to be an issue. This seems like a problem and the most common resolution
is to hire a maid or a cleaning services provider.<br />
<br />
In Ealing, I've found the right solution for me. Hiring a home cleaning service from http://gocleanerslondon.co.uk/ frees enough time for me to handle my projects. I hope to introduce more ideas soon.<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
Equipment and Tools</h3>
For people who won't enjoy some extra
sweat it is of a huge importance to <u>have the right equipment and
tools</u>. Powerful cleaners will do the job instead of you but this

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The connection of an upstairs room is most of the times complicated and costly. Carpenters and blacksmiths are usually needed. Have you
ever thought, instead, about buying an adjustable </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>staircase
assembly kit</b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">? Would you
like a straight staircase or a spiral staircase? No problem. Thanks
to mounting kits and simple and detailed instructions (in pictures or
videos), in just one day you'll be able to mount and use one of the
various models of staircases in kit.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>Before
starting the assembly</b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">,
unpackage all the items of the scale. Lay them out on a large
surface, and verify that the quantity of the items is as shown in the
printed assembly instructions. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">Once
you have determined the proper adjustment of the support steps, based
on the size of your environment and in relation to the height to be
reached by the stairs, you can proceed to the assembly.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">A very
important part is the </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>drilling
of the floor</b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"> in
correspondence with the arrival of the staircase. Then the ladder
assembly is fast: starting from the top you must install the steps,
propping up everything as you procees down towards the bottom.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">It is
essential to include a prop every 4-5 supports mounted, and it is
strictly forbidden to climb the ladder before it is secured to the
floor with the last step. Once the staircase is fixed to the ground
you can proceed with the </span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><b>construction
of the railing</b></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">, screwing
the appropriate hardware stakes and setting its wooden handrail.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">To

<br />
Coach fans should be well aware of the fabric called sateen. Unfortunately, this material tends to get dirty with ease. Moreover, the stains often remain unnoticed. As someone who buys and sells mostly Coach bags, I’m often disappointed when I get one that is photographed and described as being “flawless”, but comes to me rather dirty. In the process I've learned some tips that will help you boost your sateen bags appearance.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Luckily, <b>sateen plays a trick on the eye.</b> It is shiny and reflective, so you’ll find yourself moving the bag to see if that is, in fact a dirt mark or stain. That can work to your benefit. Unfortunately, sometimes bags are get this dirty that there is no excuse but to take care.<br />
<br />
While we are talking about sateen, it is good to know, if you don't own such a bag, that most are trimmed with leather. <b>Products that are safe for car's leather will be good for the Coach handbags' leather trim as well.</b> Thus, you can go on and grab that leather interior cleaner. It’s cheaper than the Coach cleaner or anything else and will serve double purpose.<br />
<br />
<h4>
You Don't Need Any Expensive Cleaning Solutions</h4>
<br />
It is important to bear in mind that sateen must not be scrubbed. There is fine layer that you can be pulled out. Instead, <b>start off with the following process</b> before experimenting with any other fancy solutions:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Lay the bag down on a flat surface</li>
<li>Damp a soft dish rag</li>
<li>Dab and gradually saturate the soiled area</li>
<li>Liquid hands soap is a great remedy for stains. Put on the dish rag and apply to the soiled area</li>
<li>Do it carefully and dilute the soap with several additional drops of water</li>
<li>Use the dry end of a towel to blot out some of the water and soap</li>
<li>After waiting for no more than 10 minutes, apply more water, and again blot out with dry end of towel</li>
<li>Allow bag to air dry for a day or two.</li>
</ol>
<br />
If you can’t see the improvement, don’t worry, it will be much better once it's dried out.<br />
Other good cleaning solutions for your sateen handbag include dish-washing detergent and carpet cleaners. Proper drying is essential. Drying the bag with a hair-dryer is not recommended.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

Even if home cleaning is not such a
major global problem, its non-existence would still influence the
world. Let's imagine what would it be like, if no homeowner had to
face housework. In order to be able to reach a final conclusion about
the consequences of this, we have to first go through <b>the past, the
present and the future of cleaning. What if cleaning never existed?</b> I will try to find an answer to this question in an imaginary world of cleanliness.<br />
<a name='more'></a></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Past of Home Cleaning</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Not long ago, housekeeping was a totally
different story. It has underwent many changes to become what we know now. From the <b>cleaning products used, thorough tools and
equipment, to by who and how</b> the housework was done.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><h4>
Social Differences</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Starting from the time when women were not
allowed to have a job. This is when the domestic labour was performed
by them only. Even if nowadays there are housewives, it is not an
obligation, women are free and have the rights to do whatever they
want. In the past, men were responsible for earning enough to insure
the family has enough for proper living. The society was more men
oriented, which put housekeeping responsibilities on women's backs.

</h4>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Past cleaning products</b> include
ingredients that can be found in most households today. Both
then and now they have other uses as well. For example, these are
vinegar, baking soda, homemade soap made of animal fat, ash, sand and
more. <u>Share in the comments below, other cleaning products you know from the past</u>.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<b>Tools</b> were not present. Everything was
done on hand. For example, doing the laundry in a bucket required
some elbow grease. The floors were cleaned
with a broom and a dustpan. Imagine that the result could never be as
good as what you can achieve now, by simply running the vacuum
cleaner. No super-absorbent mops, steam cleaners, etc. Just the
old-school mop.</div>

The Future of Home Cleaning</h3>

Do you expect <b>robotics to be introduced in our daily routines</b> even
more? No doubt there are many more people who think so. Development
and research for the future of home cleaning are certainly an
ongoing processes even at this moment. Vacuum cleaning robots are
something most people should have seen or heard about. Laundry and
dish-washing machines are present and offer the much-needed let-off. Even more so, <b>there are cleaning products for
every surface, fabric, or stain possible</b>. All kind of chemical
substances can be found in most commercial cleaners.<br />
<br />
However, the trend of going back to the past in terms of the
cleaning products we use, is going to continue, hopefully. If we want
to live in a better place, the one called Earth, we should all look
to go a little bit in the past, in terms of decreasing the negative
impact the never-ending human technological and scientific
advancement have.
<br />
<br />
<h3>
What if?</h3>
Let's now look at the more global aspect of the non-existence of
home cleaning. First, this will mean that a large part of the
manufacturing industry would not be present. <b>No cleaning machines, no
detergents, sprays, etc.</b> This will probably mean that the
environmental footprint people have would've probably be less
significant.
<br />
<br />
What cleaning non-existence will mean? <b>Our homes will be
permanently clean? </b>No dust, no dirt, no grime. Would this mean that
you can walk on the bed with the shoes on? Who knows, but probably
yes. The dog won't mess the house? <u>So many questions but only the
wildest imagination can answer them all.
</u><br />
<br />
In conclusion, even if you don't find cleaning a huge concern, it
would certainly benefit the world if it didn't exist. Hire home
cleaners in London and forget about housework. They will make
housekeeping seem like it has never existed.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of spending six to ten pounds or even more per bottle for a cleaning product, you can make
your own for a fraction of the cost without sacrificing quality.
People have relied on natural formulas for years, and you will find
they work just as well as commercial products.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Before you start making <b>homemade
cleaning formulas</b>, buy some spray bottles or save such from
commercial cleaners when they are empty. You can find spray bottles
for sale at discount stores, grocery stores, dollar stores, and even
flea markets. Look for a package of three or six bottles for the best
price. If you save sprat bottles from a commercial product, always
wash them out with hot soapy water and allow them to dry before using
them for a homemade product. With a permanent black market, write on
the outside the content of the bottle. Store your homemade formulas
with the same care as you would any commercial formula; even though
they are made from natural products, they should be kep out of the
reach of small children.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<i>Important note: When making your own
cleaners, never combine chlorine bleach with vinegar, since it
creates a harmful, potentially deadly gas.</i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Some ingredients
(such as baking soda or soap) will make a white foam when added to
vinegar. This is a natural chemical reaction that is not dangerous in
an open container. Do not seal a vinegar mixture that is foaming in a
tightly capped container. Let the foam die down before closing the
top.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
As with all other
cleaning products, these <b>homemade vinegar formulas</b> need to be tested
before using them. Always try them on a small hidden area of the
clothes, carpet, upholstery, or whatever you are cleaning. While most
of these formulas are not as harsh as commercial cleaning products,
it's better to be safe than sorry.</div>

For generations our
forefathers (or maybe “foremothers”) have been combining vinegar
with other household supplies to clean all around the house. (In addition, most of them might have prepared vinegar themselves. Learn <a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.com/2013/03/diy-vinegar-how-to-make-vinegar.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">how to make vinegar by clicking here</a>.) Store-bought cleaners are not always as environmentally safe as
natural, organic compounds. Most homemade cleaning formulas can be
made for a fraction of the cost of commercial counterpart. A number
of substances are combined with vinegar to make the formulas below;
here are some general guidelines to the more popular mixtures.</div>

oven and leave it on for at least an hour. Spread the paste all over
the oven and leave it on for at least an hour. Scrape the gook off
with a spatula or an expired credite card. This formula works best
for light to medium cleaning. It won't be perfect, but it will be
safer than commercial sprays. When used often, this formula easily
removes the food particles.

The colour settings in our homes can have a different influence on our feelings. If you are up to a remodelling project, it is good to know more about what colours mean. This will help you find the one that will have a particular type of effect.<br />

<h4>
White </h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFrl5_v2TR1mwqRpX3yuVDU5kDGXuYDZII9URceZurmoqUGEr7QYNMG_RpFTmurr8sTH_rkLWy-PItQZzLjkULOPL_tn6QA5xs0W0FcorRq_b1s9lsTWz0HfhLyhQZSBu41NU1yNrZrx9/s1600/white_room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="white interior" border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPFrl5_v2TR1mwqRpX3yuVDU5kDGXuYDZII9URceZurmoqUGEr7QYNMG_RpFTmurr8sTH_rkLWy-PItQZzLjkULOPL_tn6QA5xs0W0FcorRq_b1s9lsTWz0HfhLyhQZSBu41NU1yNrZrx9/s320/white_room.jpg" title="White room" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
White influences in a positive way. It is the colour of the saints and heaven. It is sublime. Hypothetically, it can also have an effect on people's health. White is quite an universal colour. Even if hundreds of symbolic meanings can be found, for large spaces this colour becomes meaningless, boring and makes the whole place too much monotonic. It is said that <b>those who like white</b> are ambitious, persistent, hard-bitten, and with a clear purpose in life. Oppositely, those who can't stand white and it bothers them are probably greedy, excessively ambitious (in a negative way). </div>

<h4>
Blue</h4>

<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Violet</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ5Q3SQ3RMVuMTfh5MEhFlOIWH6kYySORolbfgf3Q8fyvmEvILJkn4MUHmFfRokc3M8UrIzJEiHia4aEAGnVNGULSFABqtD4Go3ty4ZHbZIq1CbN5U3C4bDPlg0__xcb8Bc14x3h25m0b_/s1600/violet-bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="violet bedroom interior" border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ5Q3SQ3RMVuMTfh5MEhFlOIWH6kYySORolbfgf3Q8fyvmEvILJkn4MUHmFfRokc3M8UrIzJEiHia4aEAGnVNGULSFABqtD4Go3ty4ZHbZIq1CbN5U3C4bDPlg0__xcb8Bc14x3h25m0b_/s320/violet-bedroom.jpg" title="violet room design" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
Mainly a symbol of royalty, violet has many other meanings that might be quite different from the aforementioned one. It shows modesty, wit, physical strength and willpower. It opens horizons. The creation of violet speaks pretty much for itself - it contains <b>the fire of the red and the cool breeze of the blue</b>, which is why people who prefer violet are usually two-minded.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Grey</h4>
<div>
This is one of the colours with negative symbolic. It is the colour of illnesses. Combined with black it shows some kind of emotional loss and pain. It is a colour that lacks emotion. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Yellow</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzTefMC-jJF4Mn224GebV1pxFXc49KqKtpS3FJRSq9I4Nu45Rcg14CCBU_PkWcQ9BIfJamd9wqOJbozVvw2vkGNkdYSNE6sCTIJjUGkRoqJKm02mcwhTfis7ognC6rRE_YfHhIfwPYf1FZ/s1600/yellow-kidsroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzTefMC-jJF4Mn224GebV1pxFXc49KqKtpS3FJRSq9I4Nu45Rcg14CCBU_PkWcQ9BIfJamd9wqOJbozVvw2vkGNkdYSNE6sCTIJjUGkRoqJKm02mcwhTfis7ognC6rRE_YfHhIfwPYf1FZ/s320/yellow-kidsroom.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
A <b>mind-stimulating colour</b>, it helps for better memory. People who like yellow can be said to be generous, sensitive, emotional but prone of falling under someone else's influence. It is suitable for people of art, who enjoy social appreciation. Such people often provoke envy in others. Yellow can make you happy but it can also make you hungry. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
Red</h4>
<div>
Red stimulates living processes. It acts as a tonic for the body and mind. <b>The source of life</b> and energy. It affects productivity but it is good to know that protracted exposure is very tiring.<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, the next time it happens to remodel your home, think of how you want your surroundings to affect you. Whether you do it yourself or not, it is good to have these colours' meanings in mind.</div>

<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;">
As most of us know, a <b>small living room table</b> is not very practical for dining. However, as a place to have our daily cup of coffee, a couch area with <b>a small coffee table</b> in the living room has a number of benefits. With some additions this will become <b>your favourite place</b> to see in the morning. Besides space-saving, such a <b>DIY project</b> can prove to be a stylish one.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In one of the first <a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.com/2013/03/tools-learning-about-your-trusted-diy.html" target="_blank">posts I pointed out which are my essential DIY tools</a>. This project is not different at all. Included are my personal favourite the <b>drill driver</b>, using <b>a bit for wood</b> with a size that matches the screws one. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course, <b>use screw cover stickers</b> to not make any compromise with quality and final result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Standard cabinet slides (rails)<b> 45cm</b>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <b>chipboard material</b> I bought was around half a sheet. It was cut into 8 pieces by a professional. The planned size is <b>47x47x47cm</b>, so exclude 2.5cm of two opposing brown pieces' sides. </div>
<div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The wide-range of uses vinegar has
doesn't need to be mentioned. <b>Making vinegar in your home</b> is very
simple. The expenses are down to as little as the needed for supplies
and equipment.</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
To begin with, there are two staring
points. You can either choose to make vinegar of wine, or of the food
product. Hygiene is very important. All utensils, bowls, and products
should be thoroughly cleaned. There are some other precautions, such
as keeping the vinegar from contacting aluminium and some other
metals. The used spoons, measuring cups, pots, etc. should be either
made of plastic or wood. In addition, its acidic smell will be a
tasty piece for bugs, which is why they should not be able to contact
the liquid.

Bottles for Homemade Vinegars</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
You can buy bottles for vinegars at
most houseware stores. Still, a container for vinegar can be any type
of bottle as long as it is not made of metal. Glass bottles or jars,
special decanters with plastic lids, rubber rings, glass tops, or
corks are all fine.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Main Ingredient</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
There are many fruits, and even berries
that can be used for vinegar. The main rule is that they have enough
sugar for fermentation. Grapes is the most popular product for making
vinegar. Still, raspberry one is really tasty and smells very good.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
The Simple Process</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Making vinegar at home is simple. No
expensive equipment is required. All you need to make wine vinegar is
a clean jug, a little unpasteurized vinegar, a piece of cheesecloth,
and a bottle of wine. Your <b>homemade wine vinegar</b> will taste better
than anything you can buy at the grocery store if you start with good
quality wine. You will also have the satisfaction of knowing that no
wine will be wasted around your house.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Acetobacter is the genus of bacteria
that turns wine or any other alcoholic liquid into vinegar. These
bacteria float freely in the air and settle into any open container
of wine and go straight to work without any special coaxing.
Basically they eat alcohol and turn it into acetic acid. This process
requires oxygen, so place the container of wine in a location that
gets plenty of fresh air. The working bacteria will start to form a
whitish coloured veil, called mother of vinegar, on the surface of
the liquid.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Temperature is also a factor when
making wine vinegar. Acetobacters are not fond on extreme
temperatures. They work slowly in temperatures below 70 degrees
Fahrenheit, and they also become less active at temperatures above 90
degrees.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Making Mother<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
When making wine vinegar, you can speed
up the process by adding some mother of vinegar from another batch.
If you don't have a batch of vinegar to use, you will have to do the following. Place two tablespoons of
unpasteurized and unfiltered vinegar and 8 ounces of wine or cider in
a bowl; leave the mixture in a warm, sunny windowsill for two weeks,
during which a skin will have formed on top of the mixture. This is
the needed bacteria, or mother, that is needed to speed the process
of turning wine and other alcohols into vinegar.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
Skim off the mother and transfer it with
8 ounces of the same type of alcohol to a widemouthed container or
bowl. Cover the top with cheesecloth or with a thin dish towel to
keep bugs and dust out of the liquid while allowing the liquid to get
a good supply of oxygen. Leave the container in a warm place for one
month. Skim off the mother and transfer it with 8 ounces of the same
type of alcohol to make another batch of vinegar. Then, strain the
vinegar through a double thickness of cheesecloth. You can continues
this process as long as you add fresh alcohol to the mother each
time. Pour the vinegar into a bottle, and it is ready when you need
it.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
In conclusion, the <b>homemade vinegar</b> can
be used just as you would do with a bottle bought from the store. The
only difference will be the level of acid.<br />

<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">First, make a hole in the egg shelve. Then of course, empty it. It should look like that:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjHMXzASeYrSkffYPL1Czgu7L5OO_GaMlHNJkepLj7VzPrGhxS_Fi6FKq5_-XIPXYMcY39Y2MDg5YAGpinuDZ5_NZwqhjN23QSxDT959w3-GeU7FkI44U80OQgAD9NXmBFB4nG3l3j4lY/s1600/4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTjHMXzASeYrSkffYPL1Czgu7L5OO_GaMlHNJkepLj7VzPrGhxS_Fi6FKq5_-XIPXYMcY39Y2MDg5YAGpinuDZ5_NZwqhjN23QSxDT959w3-GeU7FkI44U80OQgAD9NXmBFB4nG3l3j4lY/s320/4.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Second, paint the egg in your desired colour. A tip for doing it without breaking the egg is to insert an object of the appropriate size in the hole to act as a handle. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgZhB9DhzTBi55hXS4GM3zaHuCw8OSL2d2Si0FLIBvOoGgOanE8K9K1aFqTAgiQu9OT-M97_whlnKWaaKIhvHdNj32ri7zJOLxupCFl4LHyP_JJlqru9-4YGUF2Io8wLcmLlU8eWcd-Gtg/s320/3.jpg" width="320" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>1.Plastic Cups </b></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Their number may vary depending on the size: 50 sounds like many, but is what was needed for the one I made. There are different sizes and colours. You can always <u>experiment with some colourful lighting</u>. For example, green garden light can create <b>a fairytale outdoor setting</b> for the summer nights. My choice was plain and simple.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>2. Paper clips</b></div>
<div>
For each cup in all rows, except for the bottom and the upper ones, 4 clips will be needed. 2 packs of 100 each might be more than enough.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<b>3. Safety pins</b></div>
<div>
These will be needed for the upper row of cups. The safety pins (at least 4) and the clips should be joined together. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>4. A light metal chain</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmclHkw1ULny6MUBO-I0VLlITxIql0N1H50dEomPxS5t6IzUswJFAc_d0kFXOynLqDcrfDsH-ubrT8reu4ssQfWFlrmxcDzUPoHaH1q6ArD-3lTgplwyB1unkbuiA-GfuLKig7N_GvQbfQ/s1600/materials_needed.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmclHkw1ULny6MUBO-I0VLlITxIql0N1H50dEomPxS5t6IzUswJFAc_d0kFXOynLqDcrfDsH-ubrT8reu4ssQfWFlrmxcDzUPoHaH1q6ArD-3lTgplwyB1unkbuiA-GfuLKig7N_GvQbfQ/s320/materials_needed.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
This will be needed to hold the "chandelier". After assembling the cups, and installing the safety pins, the chain will be used to hold our project safely up. </div>

How to make the DIY chandelier:</h3>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The image pretty much explains it all. It is simple and easy. However, it still requires some handiness. Clip the cups safely together until you assemble a complete circle. From then on, do the rows below.</div>

Here is the <b><a href="http://diy-planet.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">DIY-Planet</a>'s</b> first short
guide. In this post we will learn about proper <b>tools to own, hiring
professional equipment and power tools</b>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<br />
<h3>
Introduction</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Good tools mean efficiency. Proper ones
will leave the rest of the worries on your agility and skills. The
good expert knows how important a single centimetre can be.
<u>Compromising quality for price might often lead to failed projects</u>.
It can be argued that DIY is done for saving money, which logically
means expensive tools are not on the radar. However, for example, if
you are assembling expensive furniture yourself, cheap tools are not a pretty sensible decision. The thing with the <b>good tools is they will serve you better for longer</b>.

<h3>
Tool Requirements</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
The essentials kit can be assembled for
approximately 100 pounds. Here is a short list with the main things
in every <b>DIY toolkit</b>:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
measure tape at least 5 metres</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
claw hammer</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
retractable Stanley knife</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
spirit level</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
adjustable spanner and/ or a
spanner set</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
a hacksaw</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
a set of screwdrivers</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
insulated pliers and electrical
testing screwdrivers</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
proper power electric drill</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
two sets of drill bits – for
harder and softer materials</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
woodworking tools (if needed),
such as chisels</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
To conclude, by no means this list
intends to persuade you to purchase the whole set of tools. These are
essentials that can be gradually collected.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
When it comes to hiring larger tools,
matters become a bit more complicated. I do not recommend doing so,
if you are not convinced in your DIY skills. In the worst case, the
money saved from hiring equipment and doing the fix on your own,
might not be enough for actually solving the issues created due to
misuse of the hired tools.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tool-hire is available in some big
retail stores, and there are even some specialised ones. I strongly
recommend, if you want to drill a hole in the wall for example, to hire a
professional.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Power Tools</h3>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Lets take an in-detailed look at some
of the most popular power tools amongst DIY enthusiasts. These are
the aforementioned electric drill, the jig saw, the power sender and
drill driver.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Jig Saw</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Starting with the basics, the more
watts a jig saw is, the faster it will cut. The average recommended
for enthusiasts is 600 watts. The main thing here is have a
well-selected range of blades. If you want to make better, smoother
cuts – go for blades that have a greater number of teeth per inch
(TPI).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<h4>
Power Sanders</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
200 watts is often enough. Depending on
the smoothness you are looking for, you should choose the grade of
the sandpaper – softer for lighter finish, harder for a more fine
one.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tip from the editor: “<i>Keep a vacuum
cleaner running in the room after sanding. It will collect the
invisible remains in the air.</i>”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h4>
Drill Driver</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Having a cordless batter drill driver
is absolutely a must. Here you measure the power depending on how
many volts the battery is. Even if more expensive, a drill driver
with two batteries is a huge let-off. It will allow the device to
last longer and won't leave you half-way through the process.</div>

Why doing DIY?</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Is it more of a hobby, or is it because
of saving money? This is a question you should answer. Find the
survey on the right and give your opinion.

The first questions that pops in mind, is whether the money-saving is worth it. And why shouldn't it be?
Done properly, our DIY fixes won't be just quickies. The main thing,
in my opinion, is that if you are fixing your personal home,
possession, etc., you probably know its weak spots, you know what to
emphasise on. In addition, no one knows your personal preferences
better than you.</div>

<h4>
Proper desire and guidance lead the way
for successful DIY</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
We are at this stage where you know
what should be fixed. You want it fixed and the only thing left to
make sure the experience will be trouble-free, is to get some proper
guidance. This is where the DIY-planet wants to become your number
one source for trusted information. If you want to ask what kind of
tools, equipment or approach to take, this is the right place. Tackle
the trouble and do it youself. </div>

<h4>
A better understanding</h4>
<div>
Once we know why something is done, we are halfway through understanding how to do it. In no means DIY is an easy job. It requires a lot of skills, which we will later try and sum up, but proper guidance is certainly going to help even the clumsiest person.</div>
