| Posted: 04 Jan 2016 08:58 AM PST Koi Pond Design – I am one of koi admire. I like the beauty of the koi itself. What is koi? Well, if you haven't known about koi, I would be glad to describe you about koi. Koi is one of Japanese fish. In Japan, they call koi as nishikigoi. In Japan koi is a symbol for love and friendship. But koi itself was originally found in Central Europe and Asia. This fish has some capability to survive and adapt in many climates and water condition. This make the fish can be place anywhere such as in the pond in any location or in water garden.  Koi Pond Design We can see that the koi has beautiful color and pattern. Some major colors of the koi are white, black, red, yellow, blue and cream. Besides for the major varieties koi has 22 varieties which represent some certain symbols or means, such as; kohaku which has mean red and white, bekko which has mean tortoise shell, goshiki which has mean five colors, kinginrin which has mean gold and silver scale, Ogon mean gold and many more. Considering the beauty of the koi above, I need to have my koi pond to pet my fish. I plan to have the koi pond in the garden and will design my koi pond as the origin place where they were from so it will make them feel like in Japan. So, I started to search some koi pond design by visiting some site. In my searching I found some suggestion and also some knowledge in how build the koi pond. Because we know that the koi pond need good circulation of the water, filtering and also the drain. This site told me a lot about how to build my pond. They were also suggested me in about depth of the pond because they said that koi is fast growing fish, so, small pond will not be good for the koi. They also told me that we better place the koi pond in a shaded area not in full sun area. It is because if we place the pond on the full sun area, the water will be hot, especially in summer. When the water is too hot, it will not be good for the koi itself. Also if we place the pond in the shaded area will generally slow down the growth of the algae down. For more, they didn't suggest us to plant some trees near the pond because it will coz some problem to the koi such as predator will easily catch the koi, koi also can eat the plant, and also the plants can destroy the pond. So, if we want to plant some plants near the pond, we must thinking about the far and the depth of the tree we plant it if we do not want cause any problem. Well, this suggestion remind me to my plan about Japanese garden which I will set for my koi pond design.    Well, I really thank to this site which already suggest me a lot of things about how to set up the koi pond. Well, I think I cannot write all here because I would rather suggest you to see it yourself because you will see many great things there which were related about your idea of koi pond. |
| Posted: 03 Jan 2016 08:59 PM PST Concrete Crack Repair – Weather often destroyed the building around us, including our house. Some crack that was cause by the weather or the moving of land (if you live in earth quake area) will bother the look of our house. It is not only the look that we are talking about, but also the function of the house itself. It is because from the crack on our concrete will make the water or air possible come into our house. Then it will create damp or fungi. Furthermore, it will create odor for our house and also the rodents could also easily come to our house and you know what happen in the rest. We may consider that some crack is not really wide but some crack can be wide, but no matter what is the concrete crack is, we still have to fix them. So that's why, we are as the homeowner may recognize the crack in such location like garage floor, basement, foundation wall, patio or in-ground pool. As what we mentioned above that some cracks can be cause of the thermal movement, drying shrinkage and other minor cause problems. But usually the crack in your basement happens because of the possibly loss of structural integrity. Based on such case above, I think that you look for an idea on how to repair the concrete crack. So, where can we fix our crack in easy way and cheaper cost with permanently results? For this need you can visit www.concretenetwork.com for the guidance. In this site you will find that poured foundation cracks can be repaired by using low pressure injection of an epoxy or polyurethane foam material. And to apply these materials, you have two choices. They are completed by basement waterproofing contractor or you choose to do it yourself. If you already decide by whom the crack will be repair, let's dig it deeper to know about the concrete crack repair.  Concrete Crack Repair We will start from the work of crack injections. When you decided to pick this low pressure injection as your choice to repair the crack concrete, I think this is right choice as this is the best in the market. Why was so? It I because the using epoxies or polyurethane foams which is gradual introduction of the liquid polymer into the crack at low pressure (20 to 40 psi). Even though we need to be patient when we use this product, but it allows the applicator to monitor the injection process and ensure that the crack is completely filled. So, if you do not patient when you apply this, usually you will get the repair failure and it is because of the incompletely injection of crack. To make your job done well, you may pay attention to these tips. It is that you want to fill a typical crack in a foundation wall, the injecting with the pressure above 40 psi will not be effective. At higher pressures, the liquid has enough force to overcome gravity and rise up the crack without filling the backside. As you know that the backside of crack is usually narrower than the front crack. So the high pressure of injection is better for repairing cracks in a very thick wall. Also, this injection can be used to apply in a high volume of water flow building such as damps. So, as I told you before, that this low pressure injection is a great choice for your concrete repair. But this low pressure injection has limitation in its work. If you have building with these typical locations you would rather use the hydraulic driven piles or piers. So what locations that is not suitable with the usage of the low-pressure injection? If your foundation has settled due to compressible or improperly compacted soil, poor drainage, or uneven moisture condition, you may now use the low-pressure injection. Also, it will be have to work hard if you plan to work this low-pressure injection hand in hand with carbon fiber reinforcement, as they will not work in order to stabilize and reinforce poured foundation basement walls that have bowed and cracked. Also, it will not work in fixing the cracks in masonry block foundation walls or leaking from a crack between the seam of the wall and the slab which indicates a water table problem.
