The Basics of Construction Mediation Posted: 03 May 2017 04:04 PM PDT When it comes to construction law cases, mediation can be a critical moment. Construction mediation can be a time for the two sides of the lawsuit to sit down and talk about the case. At mediation, this is done in a face to face meeting that often results in the sides reaching a settlement agreement that works for both of them. What to expect in mediation When a case goes to mediation, a skilled and trained professional such as Lyle Charles serves as the mediator. They explain the rules of mediation to both sides so that the session can be productive. Then, the mediator takes turns talking to each side in the case. Each side has a chance to say their peace as they work towards an amicable resolution of the case. Resolving the case at mediation can be helpful for construction claims management, but unless the parties agree, entering into a settlement agreement is optional. In most cases, the mediator can’t force either side to accept an agreement. This can help the parties relax during the mediation process, because they know they aren’t going to be bullied into something that they don’t think is fair. Preparing for mediation A construction consultant can help you prepare for mediation. They can work with you to decide what your case might be worth before mediation begins. They can help you form realistic expectations as you head into the mediation process. This can help you achieve a good result during your mediation session.

Three tips for choosing outdoor furniture covers Posted: 12 Feb 2017 03:34 AM PST Written by The Foam Factory Although the name might suggest otherwise, outdoor furniture needs just as much or more care than indoor furniture. Its outdoor use does not imply that it can stand the elements and so needs protection. The best form of protection is an outdoor furniture cover that will protect the furniture as well as any outdoor furniture cushions in use. Here are a few tips when choosing a cover: Quality This is not an item to look for a cheaper alternative. The problem with inexpensive covers is that they will not provide the protection that you need. A good cover will need to handle extreme temperatures and extreme weather, sometimes in the same day. Cheaper covers will require regular replacement, adding to the cost. You want protection for everything, down to the foam inserts in the cushions. Materials The cover should be lightweight and durable. It should be able to handle the full force of nature for years. This includes exposure to harsh UV, rain, snow, the sun etc. Cheaper covers are made of plastic sheeting and/or vinyl, which will last two years at the most. Features Look for covers that come with additional features that make them easier to use. Velcro closures allow a proper fit for exact covers. In addition, features like elastic hems, zips, and ties help keep the cover on the furniture during extreme weather. ________________________________________________________________ The Foam Factory has operated in the foam industry for years.

How to buy furniture for your home Posted: 01 Feb 2017 12:16 AM PST Buying furniture for your home is an investment that you need to get right. Here are some tips that will help you find the right pieces for your home. Investments and low-cost pieces – There are four key pieces that you should invest a large portion of your budget; these are a sofa, dining table and chairs, a good bed and mattress. These items are often used and will need to be of good quality to ensure they last. Couches – You should look at a couch that will last you between 10 -15 years. Therefore, invest in one that has a good frame, springs and cushioning. It is important that you leave your couch in a place that will not receive direct sunlight to avoid fading. For couch maintenance, it is best to vacuum it at least once a week and remove any stains as and when they occur. Secondhand-upholstered furniture – If you intend to buy a few secondhand pieces, make sure that the wood is a hardwood like oak or maple. Most often you will have to reupholster the furniture to make sure it looks its best and to remove any odors. Therefore factor in this cost when offering your price. Lighting – You can invest in cheaper lighting like lampshades and wall hanging shades, as these will not be directly used. Look at items from secondhand stores, Ikea or dollar stores for good prices.

Some Thoughts On Finish Carpentry Posted: 27 Jan 2017 10:40 AM PST Finish carpentry involves being able to look at something, and decide what it needs based on a visual inspection alone. It's so crucial that every part of the construction aspect work together, but finish carpentry is what ties everything together. Of course, a finish carpenters job is made that much easier by the work of the original builder. How they assemble joints, work with the wood and frame the pieces you're working with will directly affect how difficult your job will be. Being good at finish carpentry is more than just being able to nail baseboards to a wall without a gap. It involves finishing up everything the owner will see when he or she receives the piece, or moves into the home. The more accurate you are with your measurements and cuts, the better the finished product. This is a path that carpenters will get to eventually, not a place where you start. Finish carpentry is very time consuming if the piece is complex. That is, if it's done well. There can be rush jobs that come out ok, and some excel in doing so, but mainly the art is exactly that: an art that you dedicate your time to doing better. A toolset is only a portion of the job that is finish carpentry. So much of a good finish carpenter is experience, good eyes and a flair for design. Patience plays a key role, but that comes with time. As you learn to visualize a project from beginning to end, the art of finish carpentry will become second nature to you. Since his retirement from the Church, Archbishop James Provence has become an avid reader of history, and a volunteer docent for the California Railway Museum. James Provence resides in Vacaville, where he practices the art of furniture making.
