			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are certain tools that can be found in every plumber&#8217;s repair kit. Teflon tape, also referred to as plumber&#8217;s tape, is a common tool used by plumbers and homeowners to stop pipe connections from leaking. This tape is stretchy to maximize tight connections, thin, white, and is effective at stopping leaks because it does not gunk up in the plumbing connection threads.</p>
<p>You can buy Teflon tape in the form of a roll at plumbing supply stores, hardware stores, and home supply stores. It is an inexpensive tape that is much like a ribbon and is long lasting. It is used not only used for water leaks, but also to stop gas leaks.</p>
<p>It is quite easy to apply Teflon tape to a pipe fitting connection. You just pull the required amount of tape from the roll and wrap it a minimum of three times around the end of the pipe fitting. You must apply the tape to avoid wrinkles, bubbles, or creases in the tape which can cause bubbles. It should also be wrapped securely to ensure it is completely leak and air tight. As well, when wrapping and handling the tape, your hands should be clean of any dirt, debris, and grease to prevent tape degradation. Once the tape is securely wrapped around the fitting, it is important to press firmly to ensure a complete firm and secure fit.</p>
<p>Once you have the tape firm and secure around the pipe connection threads, you will then place one end of the pipe fitting into the other end. It is the male end into the female end. You will then tighten the two connections. It must be tight enough so that it is completely secure. If you have to take them apart to adjust the fitting, it is easy to do as the Teflon tape acts as a lubricant.</p>
<p>In most cases, Teflon tape is used to wrap around threads of pipe fittings when there is low water pressure and around pipes that transport oil into the home heating system. It is also used to wrap around gas pipe fittings but will be wrapped more times to make it thicker. Teflon tape should only be used to wrap around threads and not the actual pipe because just wrapping around the pipe will not stop the leak as it is less secure and tight. Do not use white Teflon tape on iron pipe gas fittings as it will degrade and cause leaks. Yellow Teflon tape is used for iron pipe fittings because of their double density. Green Teflon tape is used on copper which is used with pipe threads or bolts in mechanical devices. If you are unsure about the leak and whether applying the tape will fix the problem, you should enlist the services of a qualified plumber, especially if you have a gas leak which can be dangerous. <a rel="nofollow" target='_blank' href="http://familychristiainstore.com/goto/Professional_plumbers/4587/1">Professional plumbers</a> are trained and certified to locate the problem and provide a quality repair that is quick and efficient.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ceiling fans are a simple home improvement project. They may make your house look better and more comfortable. Do you have a ceiling light in your bedroom? It may not be too difficult to replace it with a ceiling fan. These are tips to make it easier.</p>
<p>Be certain that you kill power from the breaker box, not just the switch. There may still be electricity running to your ceiling box. You do not want to get shocked.</p>
<p>Removing the old light is simple. Next task is to wire the fan. Sometimes you can hook them to your ceiling box as you wire them. If not, you may need help. Be sure that you follow the instructions that come with the fan. Next, take the cover off the wall switch. Are there two black wires going to it? There may be one black and one white. If you have two black wires, it is easy. Power runs from the switch to your light. One black and one white is a bit more complex. Power runs from the ceiling to your switch. It then returns to your light in a loop circuit. You will need to hook these up differently.</p>
<p>Using two black wires</p>
<p>There will be four fan wires. Wire the black and blue fan wires together. Attach them to your black ceiling wire. White goes to white. The green fan wire goes to the bare ground wire. This hookup is easy, but it has drawbacks. When you turn the light off, the fan will also be off.</p>
<p>One black and one white</p>
<p>When you wire from a loop circuit you must be careful. Do not attempt this if you are not familiar with electricity. When you wire up your fan, you can control the light and fan separately. There will be two black and two white ceiling wires. Make sure you know which goes to the switch and which stay hot. You will need to check them with a tester. Attach the black fan wire to the black ceiling wire.</p>
<p>Next, hook the blue wire to your other black house wire. This one goes to the switch. Then, attach the white wire from the switch to the black wire on the ceiling. It is very important that you understand how electricity works. Attaching a white wire to a black one is not usually advised. Under normal circumstances it would cause a direct short. This is one of the few examples, that you can do this. Always check with someone that has experience in these matters. It can be very dangerous.</p>
<p>Finish the installation. Install all ceiling fan blades. Install the new light kit. Check to make sure everything works.</p>
<p>Summary</p>
<p>It is not hard to install a ceiling fan. You will need to be certain about the wiring. It is essential that you do this properly. You may need to hire someone to be certain. This home improvement project can be completed in an evening.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The connection between skin cancer and excessive exposure to sun is well established. The reduction of these risks during pool activities for these and other skin-related ailments is aided by proper preparation. Plan to install enough shading during the summertime to ensure that guests are shielded from strong solar UV rays. In this article we talk about three types of shades.</p>
<p>Likewise, exposure to cold can weaken one\&#8217;s immune system or worsen an existing infection. The corresponding way to reduce such risks connected to pool activities is to do winter preparation. During the winter, the pool should be heated artificially for it to be usable. Pool shades come in roughly two types, whereas pool heaters come in roughly three.</p>
<p>In the category of heaters, the most widely used type is gas-based heating. It\&#8217;s by far the most energy efficient, which should satisfy the green-conscious buyer. It\&#8217;s also fast acting so it only needs to be turned on when the pool is anticipated to be used. This makes for very low energy costs. The biggest drawback is that gas-based heaters are a bit expensive with only an expected lifespan of 5 years.</p>
<p>The second kind of heating system that is popular for home pools is the heat exchange pump. The heat exchange pump works like a refrigerator, except instead of moving heat out it moves heat in. The main ingredient is the refrigerant gas (such as freon found in refrigerators). The gas is alternately compressed and expanded, which causes it to warm up or cool down. The warming and cooling cycle transfers heat from environment into the water.</p>
<p>The third kind of pool heating relies on solar power. These are expensive due to the cost of solar cells that have yet to come down. The advantage of solar cells is that once they are installed, there are virtually no running costs or maintenance needed. Being solar-powered, the heating system doesn\&#8217;t rely on the utility company for continual operation.</p>
<p>The first type of pool shade is the portable outdoor umbrella. It consists of a central pole with the umbrella extending either upward or to the side in the case of side-post umbrellas. The umbrella is held in place by a weighted stand, which is either a simple sand-filled container or an ornate iron design.</p>
<p>The second type of pool shade is the portable pool cabana. This is like a canopy or tent that can be set up near the pool. It has natural or synthetic fabric walls as well as a ceiling. The advantage over umbrellas is added privacy and wind protection from the walls. The disadvantage is that cabanas are harder to set up and more difficult to maintain. They take up a lot more valuable space, making it hard to accommodate many guests.</p>
<p>The addition of shades and heaters means that one\&#8217;s pool can be used in summer as well as winter. Shades have the additional benefit of protecting pool guests from skin-related health problems. Heaters make the pool usable in winter, but also more comfortable to use during the fall.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Chicken farmers who spend more money than needed building their chicken coop could have saved themselves hundreds of dollars by just a few simple adjustments. There are a variety of things to keep in mind to building a backyard chicken coop under a firm budget successfully. Here are some key facts you should know about building a chicken coop on a budget.</p>
<p>Know Your Land Before Building &#8211; Always first take a look at the land you have available. Depending on the plan of building a chicken coop, most cases would require some landscaping to be done before building. The reason that landscaping is important is due to the fact that building on a non firm ground would significantly decrease the stabilization as time progressed which could lead to rebuilding the chicken coop again which is costly and time consuming. Also to if you choose to hire help to do the landscaping, your going to pay big dollars because it can get pricey.</p>
<p>If you choose to hire help to do the landscaping, your going to pay big dollars because it can get pricey and on the other hand to do it yourself will still take time and could still cost you a small amount of money. Always first take a look at the land you have available.</p>
<p>Windows Needs to be Properly Placed &#8211; Another way to help you save money is to make sure that the windows are properly placed in the chicken coop to allow proper lighting and ventilation. Unless you plan on wiring in electrical light which can be expensive, windows are going to be the primary light source that the chickens will have. The windows will also serve for ventilation purposes which is critical in helping the chickens maintain good health. When the windows are stationed well, you essentially kill two birds with one stone as well as saving money in the process.</p>
<p>Consider Building a Smaller Sized Chicken Coop &#8211; Building material is where you will incur the highest amount of cost. And the smaller you build the fewer materials you will need. By just taking the right measurements, you can decrease your building costs and still build a cheap chicken coop that\&#8217;s right for your budget. Often two to three chickens will be plenty to give you more than enough eggs that you need daily unless you\&#8217;re planning on selling the eggs commercially. That would be the only reason to build a chicken coop bigger. If you feel you need to build bigger just keep in mind that the costs will be more and also maintenence down the road will be also.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a reason t-shirts have been a necessity for years and will continue to be so. It is because they are so diverse. So do yourself a favor and avoid getting stuck in the rut by using these 8 awesome tips!</p>
<p>Is that a blouse? Nope it&#8217;s a t-shirt: Disguise your t-shirt as a blouse. Tuck your shirt into your pants, skirt, or shorts to give it that lively blouse feel. Next layer it with some necklaces, a vest, or maybe even a blazer. Just make sure that if the sleeve show you fold or roll them up, we don?t want any loose ends you could say.</p>
<p>Dress down your outfit with a t-shirt: If you have some fancy pieces that you would like to wear to hang out, but don&#8217;t want to look over done, the t-shirt is for you. Pair your dressy necklace or sparkly vest or blazer with a plain shirt to tone it down and make it more casual.</p>
<p>Find something artsy: Graphic t-shirts have been around for years, but thankfully people are steering away from the ironic tee. Now it is the artsy tee that has everyone wanting. The artsy t-shirt is a sophisticated step up from the general graphic tee.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to get wordy, keep it simple: It is understandable that some of those slogan t-shirts are just too hard to pass up. That is why when it comes to typography t-shirts make sure it is short and sweet, oh, and big printed.</p>
<p>Let a neutral t-shirt become a blank canvas for accents: Let your neutral t-shirt blend into your overall looks so that you can really make those accents stand out. Layer on some bold necklaces, wear colorful pants, or intensify your make-up. A solid shirt will not take away from you accents; it will only make them stand out more.</p>
<p>Show your support: It is a strong style statement when someone is brave enough to wear a shirt representing what they believe in. Whether it is cancer awareness, change, or even MS; show your confidence and support by wearing a t-shirt representing what you believe in.</p>
<p>Barrow from the boy: If you are dying to bring out your boyish side or just simply your rocker side, than this tip is for you. There is a reason why boys always wear t-shirt, they know what to do with them! So it is time to think like a boy. Grab a band tee or just a t-shirt you love and pair it with a boy style blazer or vest. To keep it a little feminine add some heels and a clutch.</p>
<p>Have some fun with it: There is a reason the t-shirt has been an essential part of weekend attire. The reason being it is easy, comfortable, colorful, and affordable (most of the time). So go have fun with your t-shirts, experiment with different looks and styles, just be yourself!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You may have never had to see one since they&#8217;re usually covered with additional layers, but <a rel="nofollow" target='_blank' href="http://familychristiainstore.com/goto/shower_pan/220/1">shower pan</a> are one of the most important components to a bathroom. Without them, you would likely be dealing with bathroom floods just about every time you took a shower. Let&#8217;s take a brief look at the world of shower pans.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know what a shower pan is, don&#8217;t despair. It&#8217;s also known as a shower base, which may make some more sense to you. It&#8217;s the bottom of your shower and it&#8217;s what the tile and everything else sits on top of. The biggest purpose of it all is to control the flow of water through your drainage system.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never had to buy a shower pan before, there are a few things you should know before making a decision. The most important thing to look for is a shower pan that matches the measurements of your existing shower space.</p>
<p>There are a number of shapes that you can consider using as well. From the standard rectangle to more abstract forms like the pentagon, you&#8217;ll have plenty of options when it comes to shape.</p>
<p>Style is another consideration that you&#8217;ll want to keep in mind. Even though you won&#8217;t be able to see the shower pans themselves, certain materials make it easier to lay certain surfaces on top of them.</p>
<p>Shower pan liners are yet another add-on that you might want to consider. The liner is a layer that goes in between the base and the shower floor, and it acts as another form of insulation to protect your shower pan.</p>
<p>Choosing the material also matters. There&#8217;s fiberglass and acrylic, there&#8217;s ceramic and tile, there&#8217;s stone, and there&#8217;s even more. Much of what you choose will depend on your budget.</p>
<p>Setting up shower pans is likely the most difficult part of the overall process. While there are DIY guides online, you may want to consider hiring someone to install your shower base if you&#8217;ve never done something like this before. Get a few quotes before going with someone, as you&#8217;re likely to find a better price this way.</p>
