difference between deep strip foundation and tench fill foundation??
Q. I have both the drawings of a deep strip foundation and a tench fill foundation. They look exactly the same.. What exactly is the difference?? Thanks

A. the only difference is the amount of concrete you use ...going back twenty years you would dig a footing 600mmwide .and a metre deep and probably put only 300mm of concrete in ..nowadays i will put in 900mm of concrete ..the extra cost of the concrete is cancelled out by the cost of the blocks and the labour cost to get it up to 900mm ..that's it

A. hi there are many types of foundations - but strip is the most widely used. basically a strip foundation is concrete laid in a strip into trench with a min thickness of 150mm. building regs give clear guidelines to which this type of foundation is suitable. search web for diy doctor for more detail. mike douglas surveyor

A. Strip foundation is basically concrete in a trench at least 6" deep, Deep strip is deeper as the name suggests used for instance were the foundations need extra strength, say near trees ,soft areas etc.

What concrete mix for strip foundation (for low wall under raised patio) - please specify if volume or weight?
Q. I was going to use Ballast rather than sand and gravel and I was assuming a mix of 1 part cement to 5 parts ballast. However, should that be by volume of by weight? I've looked online but I seem to be getting conflicting answers from different sites e.g. sites below give very different answers for sand/ gravel/ cement quantities. Thanks for the answers so far. Given that it is by volume, as the stores sell it by weight (e.g. 25kg bags of cement) and I assume Cement doesn't weigh the same as Ballast - how do I ensure that I order the right amounts?

A. Depth should a spade. Mix should be 4 to 1. Make it a nice wet mix so when you tamp it down it will find its own level, making it easier to lay bricks.

Question about concrete foundation ( Pressure Engineering) PLEASE HELP?
Q. Question about concrete foundation ( Pressure Engineering) please help? A load of 12 tonnes is applied through a steel column onto a reinforced square concrete pad foundation. If the bearing capacity of the soil is 120KN/M2 and a factor of safety of 3 is to be applied, Foundation area required is therefore LOAD = 12TONNES = 12X 9.8067 KN. allowable bearing stress = 12O/3 = 40 KN/MSQ. foundation area = 12X 9.8067/40 = 2.942SQ.M But, if the same load was applied over each metre run of a wall to be supported on a strip foundation, what minimum width of foundation would then be required, assuming the same bearing capacity and factor of safety were applied???.

How can you install a seam binder on carpet laid on a concrete slab foundation?

I thought I could just use those metal strips but the nails just go straight to the concrete and bend. Is there any other product I could use? Or something else that could be done (aside from replacing the carpet) to stop the unraveling and seal the seam to prevent further kitty damage? Thanks for any suggestions.

A. Make sure to amend the soil, if it's needed, with a compost or peat moss. It'll need to be broken up well, crumbly. Pansies are at the end of their growing season now, they hate hot weather. I would go with begonias. Hardy, shade-tolerant, nice foliage. They generally come in two colors on the affordable end of the spectrum, red and white, and the foliage is dark green and green, respectively. AVOID water hogs like coleus, petunias and impatiens--as a father of five I know you will have NO time for watering. Make sure your new plants are watered-in after you plant, and you should have a great looking garden!

When you don't eat your body perceives itself as starving and lowers your metabolism (how fast you burn calories) to compensate. Instead, you should go for weight loss in a manner that will last. Your body actually raises its' metabolism each time you eat though, What you should do is take your normal diet and spread it out over 5 or 6 smaller meals throughout the day.

A. For blackheads: 1) Use a mild scrub or skin exfoliant to remove any dead cells and expose the blackhead. 2) Pat your face dry. 3) Place a slightly warm compress on your face for approximately 10-15 minutes in order to soften the blackhead, making it easier to remove. 4) Pat your face dry again. 5) Place a piece of tissue on the tip of each finger to avoid slipping, which could tear the skin and cause further damage. 6) Gently apply even pressure to both sides of the blackhead by pushing down, then up around the blemish. You're trying to apply the pressure from *underneath* the blackhead.

Q. Also how can I get rid of the black heads around my nose? I've tried pore strips, steaming, popping them and using prducts designed to get rid of them. If I use a sunscreen with spf 15 and a foundation with spf 15 am I getting double the protection or not?

Opinions on Pink hair strip?
Q. Ok so a lot of girls at school are dying a strand of there hair pink for the breast cancer foundation. Apparentely it gives money to the society when you get it done. A couple girls have already gotten it and i am debating if i should do it or not. It is a very bright pink color. I have never dyed my hair before and i am slightly nervous to do it. They are getting it done at a salon. Would you do it and do you think it looks trashy or cute?? Thanks.

A. I just got a pink strip today. The lady who did it didn't dye it though. All she did was sort of glue pink hair to the top of a small strand of my own hair. I guess this is another option. I think this way might be better because if you don't like it you can just cut it out without even harming your own hair. If, you don't cut it they usually fall out in 3 months. Or you can go back to the salon and they remove it for no extra cost. It was $15 at the place I did it at. Either way (dying it or getting the extension) is cute!! Hope i helped!!! =D

How do I remove laminate flooring?
Q. It's those sticky laminate tiles, underneath it is the houses concrete foundation...they've been there since the early 80's I'm guessing. When I try to scrape it they tear apart. Is there a tool to make it easier? I saw them taking it off with a long handeled scraper on T.V., what is that called? It's a small area so I don't want to rent one of those stripping machines. Any ideas to make this easier?

A. Its called a floor scraper. Once you remove the tiles, you'll also need to remove the adhesive, I recommend Jasco Adhesive remover for the job.
