Tips for the home

Hanging doors is not so easy if you do not know a few tricks. Here I show you a simple way to hang on the door. First, we must adjust the size of the next door, which already exists.
Doors are available in various sizes. Producers are also what we in the trade, such as white, is a solid piece of the door, reducing its size. There are also companies that special in size, but can be expensive, since it is a certain size.
First, the measurement of the size of the door, ask your provider, if any. Size can be metric or imperial, possibly feet and inches or millimeters. The old door can be less than one population (standard size), it is a good thing, then, if this is for you.
Sometimes, with modern buildings, you realize you really are not very much to do, and hang the new door on the frame to adjust the size, because the frames and doors are designed specifically for your home when it was built.
In the old buildings are a problem, probably because the building collapsed at one point or another of the door or frame cockeyed slant. Personally, I have seen some of the 30-mm square, and only at the door widely, say, 900 mm or 800 mm.
If you have such a situation, first check that the door is desirable, it is. After installing a new door and the door shelves of old (if he) at the top and the old house as a template and mark around it. This is a very simple solution, if they are compatible with this situation.
Modern doors, sometimes with a central hole, so that they are easier on the joints. They are like a box of eggs in one solid piece of the door and run him hard. Cut away and you are in difficulties.
When you click on a new door to the room for another week, so you can acclimatise to the room because the door to the store until you bought it and adapt to their environment. I know there is only one door, but do not forget that this is the tree of life, to breathe again.
The next very important thing to find (most people do not know this), at the top or bottom of the door there is a stamp mark on the door, the designation of "LOCK" icon, where the next door is locked. The design of the door manufacturer, glue a block of wood with a lock. On the hinge of the door is about 20 mm screws on the hinge side. Above and below are the same thickness, if you have this piece can be cleaned and back to the staples and glue to dry. Away from the door lock in the same way as in the loop, but I have in front of the entire block of 300 mm in length, and it is essential that you have that right. Get it wrong and they face difficulties in ensuring the screws on the door itself, because only in a thin film in front of the door, it would be better to pull the door off and again as the door handles do not meet with the constant opening and closing.

Put some insulation, hanging some dry wall (do not forget heating and cooling) and has the right to do whatever needs to be done throughout the year.

Taurus is usually called indulgent, sensual, artistic and strong. Think Master Suite with these people. Men and women alike can relax in the hot tub or large shower, deep, double shower. If the price is not a factor, flat shower tiles can be removed for fumigation from all angles. After a slip of the terrace robe walk to the nearest, and simplicity in a beautiful view over the bay window.

Gemini is logical, as a rule, are active, many challenges, and sociable. Only useful for kitchen expansion. Now you've got perhaps the best cuisine. I believe that cooking outdoors. This increases the area of entertainment, and allows you to enjoy the street anymore. In addition, for major events, twice the possibility of a kitchen. Make sure you have a dishwasher and sink installed. It makes no sense, all on foot, in the courts after the gala evening.

Cancer is usually sensitive, private and family life, helpful and caring. These slots must be a large room. Cancer wants all together, and perhaps the best idea is to transform the framework for the whole family: a game room / teen chase / TV center / home office. Regardless of your family the best. No basement? This is the perfect home, as well as around the world want to collect in the new space. Here's what it is.

Leo, as a rule, theater, dogs, mind, creativity and sunny. The group wants a pool. And not just any pool. One with a trampoline, slide, sun, perhaps even Lifeguard chair. They were born in the summer, and as the sun, always tan, and display it. There is no place for groups? A hot bath as a last resort. Attention! The cost of sunscreen products are not included in the cost of the pool.

Virgo, as a rule, practice, with particular emphasis on work, modest and aware of health. As a fitness studio, and / or gardens are the best way with these people. We believe that if the glass is not inappropriate. Home and Garden gyms are great opportunities for these people to move, when you returned home, and that both are smart ways to stay healthy (in the garden twice).

Pound is for a balanced, diplomatic, lazy, but complex and urban development. Although it is unlikely that all, please, a large dining room, until he died. But not just any dinner. The elegant dining room to entertain royalty. Buffet and hutch is impressive, a large living room with large dining table chairs high back, is crowned by an impressive chandelier. You never asked, but they want it.

Scorpio is often passionate, creative and complex and mysterious. These people want a better room. The dark, warm brown, red, and yellow walls. The structure of the light shade in the corners, so that the occupation of a mystery. A new structure of the bed, head and foot board.

Sagittarius is said to be carefree, happy, adventurous and optimistic. Sound money on the deck or patio. These people like to explore, and leave for dinner, drinks, or to chat with friends, with the adventurous side of the soul. If you already have a deck or patio is a simple shift in the kitchen or in the Jacuzzi. Whatever you decide, this is fun.

Capricorn is the possibility of careful, rigorous, and with power. Camps around the home - a garage, laundry room, basement - this is probably the trick. In fact, they prefer a garage sale to get rid of what is needed rather than a place to stay. Nevertheless, I understand that the idea that every piece of paper, on the spot to go. Do not go crazy with it. They are resistant to change. So some small additions to a few at a time.

Aquarius is one of the democratic, humanitarian, eccentric and demanding. If they wanted breakfast and conversation pit. These additions add some interesting texture old eccentric with his special, while the space for people to gather, commune, and dinner. Piscinas conversation was in the 70's, and there, and when you return from these souls, they understand the uniqueness, and their purpose.

Fish are usually creative, spiritual, artistic and compassionate. Create a space to explore some of these artists. Now, perhaps, water colors or pastel colors are not your cup of tea, but I think, sculpture, ceramics, music, dancing, writing. All of his artistic inclinations, to develop and deepen the space law. Rooms, offices, and, above all, they are ideal for remodels.
