Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), often referred to as environmental illness, is an immune and nervous system disorder involving severe reactions to many everyday chemicals and products. For some people MCS occurs with dramatic onset, precipitated by a major chemical exposure or industrial accident. But for most people the condition develops gradually as […]
Shielding Electric Fields Emitted from Refrigerators
Because refrigerators generate large electric fields, they should be given a dedicated circuit and the wiring should be shielded with one of the recommended metal conduits in order to block the fields. In addition, the metal refrigerator cabinet should be bonded to the electrical ground. Since the compressor motor and defroster will still produce high […]
Maintenance
It is of great importance that the draining system is working properly, hence regular checks (e. g. Fig 13.44) and maintenance are required. Every drainage system should be designed to ensure that inspection and maintenance operations are possible and accessible. Usually, the cleaning of the drainage system should be done at the end of the […]

Ofnoco
The exterior of the Ofnoco resembles the Tarleton and the Lusby. The inside is a blank slate with space to create a tiny home of your own. Square feet: 36 House width: 6’ House length: 6%’ Road Height: 6’-5” Dry Weight: 950 lbs Ceiling height: 4’-3” — sizes are approximate
TWO WAYS TO FRAME A SOFFIT
plywood, or siding boards to the width of the overhang and nail it to the lookouts running up the gable end. Fit the stock tight to the barge rafter, but don’t worry if it fits loosely against the wall, because this joint can be covered by siding and trim. Use 6d galvanized nails or screws, […]
Testing Plan
The tests to be performed on site, or in parts of the project, are defined in the testing plan. To verify the characteristics and behaviour of the materials to be used, samples must be taken and tests performed as specified in the contract specifications. These specifications typically define the type and frequency of the tests […]
Construction and Maintenance of Drainage Systems
13.7.1 Construction When construction commences it is necessary to be responsive to the geological and geotechnical conditions encountered and not to adhere to those assumed at the design stage. Therefore the in-situ conditions should be carefully inspected throughout the construction process. Also, care should be taken that the construction activities do not have a deleterious […]
Drainage Details
Some typical design details are presented in the following figures. Figure 13.40 shows the typical details for a drainage channel to be installed in the verge between the pavement and a cutting slope, Fig. 13.41 shows the likely details to be employed hard shoulder, hardstripor carriageway min. 1.20 m Fig. 13.40 Cuttings — Standard concrete […]
The Property Survey
Based on the findings of a property survey, it is possible to provide specific recommendations for any planned construction activity. Anticipated future developments in the neighborhood should also betaken into consideration. First, map the naturally occurring terrestrial radiation pattern to detect anomalies in the Earth’s magnetic field as well as radioactivity. Second, assess the risk […]
