How to Improve Mining Safety?

Underground sites such as mines and tunnels are tough and dangerous work environments and mining tunnel support related equipment is essential as a small oversight can turn into a huge problem, especially when faced with difficult situations.

Due to the challenging conditions inherent to the site, the level of physical and mental preparation required, as well as the ability to react in challenging situations, are all very important factors.

There are many prevailing uncertainties and unknowns when dealing with the underground. These variables can range from minor inconveniences to major challenges for tunnel designers. A short list of some of these issues includes:

1. the most important uncertainties when dealing with any underground project

2. the geology of the area will determine the feasibility and cost of the project

3. the engineering properties of the rock may change, sometimes dramatically, over a wide range of conditions, particularly time, season, rate, and direction of loading.

4. Groundwater is the most difficult parameter to predict and the most troublesome during construction.

5. Drilling cores is the most commonly used method to determine subsurface conditions, and in the most detailed surveys, typical projects recover less than 0.0005% of the tunnel excavation volume, with significant uncertainty.

Therefore, in the more dangerous working environment of mining, mining tunnel support equipment is essential, such as: cone rock bolt volcanic plates and reinforced mesh for coal mine support and protect. The role of the butterfly rock anchor volcano plate is to transfer the thrust generated by the nut locking torque to the top surface, generating the initial anchoring force, while transferring the pressure from the top surface to the roadway. The anchor rods generate working resistance and work together to reinforce the surrounding rock. Reinforcing mesh is a kind of mesh made of high carbon steel wire, stainless steel wire and other materials, welded by high-tech technology, because of its high precision and good quality, it can play a role in supporting and protecting the coal mine in mining work, if you want to know more, please feel free to contact us.

So what should underground workers do to ensure safety in such dangerous situations?

1. Adapt to local altitude and temperature in advance: Many mines such as Peru are located at high altitude, so it is recommended to properly adapt to the environment to avoid plateau reactions and lack of oxygen. In other mines such as Russia, temperatures can drop to around -30 degrees Celsius, while in countries such as South Africa, temperatures can soar to over 40 degrees Celsius: try to acclimatize to the local climate before doing physical work.

2. Rest and avoid alcohol: Make sure you get a good night's sleep and avoid alcohol and any prescription drugs that may impair your ability. Some underground mining and construction operations will have medical examinations and tests such as spirometry, stress tests, blood and urine tests, and even breath analyzers to ensure that all operators are performing their jobs perfectly.

Check your protective equipment: It is important to check that your protective kit is complete and in working order: coveralls, harnesses, helmets, gloves, glasses, boots, etc.

3. Make sure your lights are in proper working order: Your lights are one of the most important pieces of kit in the mine. Not only does it improve visibility for the carrier, but it also allows other operators to see you and will often find a signal code to indicate whether it is safe to perform certain operations (such as moving forward or backward). Make sure you still have enough batteries to get you through your workday.

4. Familiarize yourself with oxygen escape devices: This kit may be critical to your survival in an emergency. The breathing apparatus provides oxygen for use in extreme situations such as fires or landslides. Knowing how to use it is absolutely paramount: misuse can lead to serious injuries, such as esophageal burns.

5. Pack your kit properly when using transport: For underground mining transport, make sure you don't have loose, dangling equipment that could get stuck in the rock and cause an accident.

Remember escape routes and shelters: Make sure you remember the layout of the site, including the location of key escape routes and shelters, or 6. the location of other emergency rooms in the immediate vicinity in case of an emergency.

Stay calm but stay alert: Underground construction sites often see many different jobs going on at the same time: there may be several pieces of equipment working together, and together they make a lot of noise, as well as drilling and blasting jobs. It is important to remain calm but alert.

7. Follow the mine's safety measures: Each mine is a separate world and is subject to its own set of rules and procedures designed to best suit the specific needs of that mine. Make sure you know what they are and implement them, especially in case of emergency.

8. Ensure your own safety before helping others: Operators are always trained to take care of themselves first and must ensure their own safety before they can help other team members in an emergency.

How salty would YOU be if some assholes condemned you to 500 years of constant drowning? Yeah. Buckle up, bitches.

Or, 5 ways Quynh didn't bust out of her ocean prison and one way she did

Those witch-burning jackasses are so fucking dramatic. They had to go and forge an exaggerated frowny face through which I could scream bloody murder at them as they tore me from Andromache and locked me away at the bottom of the sea. You know what can fit through that frown-shaped hole though? A small adult human’s hand, maybe two. Y'all know you're putting me in this box because I can't die, right? You played yourselves you fucking pieces of shit.

I don't know what memes are yet, but who has two thumbs and will use them to get the fuck out of here? This furious bitch.

My hands and feet were shackled but I can probably break those apart after some time slamming them against the sides of this shitty metal box, leaving me free to reach through this dumbass rictus face and gather some tools.

Ok, so. How am I gonna get out of here? Brainstorm time.

1. Collect plastic bags and those 6-pack loops that kill sea turtles and shit and braid them together into a rope. Tie a hook or something to the end and reverse-fish for a passing ship that can drag me to shore. Scare the shit out of whoever disembarks but in a way that'll get them to open the damn box and get me out of here. Sure, I don't know what plastic is yet, but once it starts raining down from the ocean's surface I'll have died a few million times and won't care that I don't know the name for this weird indestructible but flexible thing that people love to throw away, I'll just know there's a fuck ton of it and braiding this rope makes me think of all the nooses I'm gonna make when I finally get out of here.

2. Meet a nice mermaid and/or shark who will rescue me. Or better yet, locate some radioactive material and grow gills and sharp teeth and become my own rescuing shark mermaid. I bet I'd look even sexier with gills.

2b. Anything radioactive enough to turn me into a shark mermaid will probably also eat through whatever metal this box is made of, so I won't even have to bite through it with my new shark mermaid teeth, that would be cool. I'll have to regrow a bunch of skin and probably a few organs from the chemical burns, but what the fuck else is new.

3. Fashion a chainsaw out of the teeth of dead sharks. The chains on these shackles ought to be useful for something, goddamnit. And I can wear it as a necklace while I'm working on collecting enough teeth to start sawing away in earnest. Not that Andy fucking cares how fashionable I am while I'm fucking drowning, shouldn't she have escaped and come to rescue me by now?? I'm gonna have an ex to get revenge on by the time I get the fuck out of here, aren't I.

4. Wait for two competing industrial fishing ships to anchor nearby at the same time. Attach one side of the box to one anchor and the other side of the box to the other anchor, so when the ships try to pull up their anchors and sail away from each other the box will be ripped apart by their ship drama. This makes me a party to someone else's enemies to lovers story, which I think is pretty goddamn cool because it adds some nice dramatic irony to my lovers to enemies story. And maybe there'll be a shipwreck! I could do with seeing someone other than myself die for fucking once.

5. Get the box eaten by a whale that in turn gets captured by Sea World, get spat out in the wasteland that is Orlando fucking Florida, and proceed to do A Lot of explaining to various underpaid members of Sea World’s PR and legal teams. I don't know this yet but PR flacks and lawyers are a lot like the witch-burning lackeys, some of them are in it because they like to watch people suffer, but some of them just do it so their bosses don't tie them to the stake next, and it's fun to antagonize them until they turn on each other.

Honorable mention before I get to the real story: Lately I've started dreaming about this kid named Nile who looks at this thing called Tumblr sometimes, and it's got a post going around about a ship full of hot lady ocean scientists who heroically rescue me and nurse me back to health. I usually don't have time to masturbate in between drownings so I'm pretty hard up. Though that time those tourists dropped a bunch of SCUBA equipment and I got to breathe for a whole 12 hours was pretty great, I hadn't had an orgasm like that in a millennium.

+1, here's how I actually get the fuck out of here.

Aforementioned witch-burning jackasses didn't tell me what metal they made this shitty-ass box out of, but I was already down here drowning every 5 minutes for about 200 years by the time stainless steel gets invented, so this shit is probably iron, cast iron, or steel, all of which will become 100% rust if submerged in water for long enough. No need for shitty people to dump toxic sludge into the goddamn ocean in order to eat through this shitty-ass bullshit frowny-face drowning box forged in the asshole of Satan I don't even believe in. Plain ol’ water will do if you can wait a while.

I've been waiting five fucking hundred god-for-fucking-saken drowning-in-fish-shit years. I bet I can break this shit open with one punch.

TOEFL Listening TPO 002-Q2: Manila Hemp

第 1 段

1.Listen to part of a lecture from a Botany class.

第 2 段

1.Hi, everyone. Good to see you all today.

2.Actually, I expected the population to be a lot lower today.

3.It typically runs between 50 and 60 percent on the day the research paper is due.

4.Um, I was hoping to have your exams back today, but, uh, the situation was that I went away for the weekend, and I was supposed to get in yesterday at five, and I expected to fully complete all the exams by midnight or so, which is the time that I usually go to bed.

5.But my flight was delayed, and I ended up not getting in until one o'clock in the morning.

6.Anyway, I'll do my best to have them finished by the next time we meet.

第 3 段

1.OK. In the last class, we started talking about useful plant fibers.

2.In particular, we talked about cotton fibers, which we said were very useful, not only in the textile industry, but also in the chemical industry, and in the production of many products, such as plastics, paper, explosives, and so on.

3.Today we'll continue talking about useful fibers, and we'll begin with a fiber that's commonly known as "Manila hemp".

第 4 段

1.Now, for some strange reason, many people believe that Manila hemp is a hemp plant. But Manila hemp is not really hemp.

2.It's actually a member of the banana family - it even bears little banana-shaped fruits.

3.The "Manila" part of the name makes sense, because Manila hemp is produced chiefly in the Philippine Islands and, of course, the capital city of the Philippines is Manila.

第 5 段

1.Now, as fibers go, Manila hemp fibers are very long.

2.They can easily be several feet in length and they're also very strong, very flexible.

3.They have one more characteristic that's very important, and that is that they are exceptionally resistant to salt water.

4.And this combination of characteristics - long, strong, flexible, resistant to salt water - makes Manila hemp a great material for ropes, especially for ropes that are gonna be used on ocean-going ships.

5.In fact, by the early 1940's, even though steel cables were available, most ships in the United States Navy were not moored with steel cables; they were moored with Manila hemp ropes.

第 6 段

1.Now, why was that? Well, the main reason was that steel cables degrade very, very quickly in contact with salt water.

2.If you've ever been to San Francisco, you know that the Golden Gate Bridge is red.

3.And it's red because of the zinc paint that goes on those stainless steel cables.

4.That, if they start at one end of the bridge and they work to the other end, by the time they finish, it's already time to go back and start painting the beginning of the bridge again, because the bridge was built with steel cables, and steel cables can't take the salt air unless they're treated repeatedly with a zinc-based paint.

第 7 段

1.On the other hand, plant products like Manila hemp, you can drag through the ocean for weeks on end.

2.If you wanna tie your anchor to it and drop it right into the ocean, that's no problem, because plant fibers can stand up for months, even years, in direct contact with salt water.

3.OK. So how do you take plant fibers that individually you could break with your hands and turn them into a rope that's strong enough to moor a ship that weighs thousands of tons?

4.Well, what you do is you extract these long fibers from the Manila hemp plant, and then you take several of these fibers, and you group them into a bundle, because by grouping the fibers you greatly increase their breaking strength - that bundle of fibers is much stronger than any of the individual fibers that compose it.

5.And then you take that bundle of fibers and you twist it a little bit, because by twisting it, you increase its breaking strength even more.

6.And then you take several of these little bundles, and you group and twist them into bigger bundles, which you then group and twist into even bigger bundles, and so on, until eventually, you end up with a very, very strong rope.

Summary:

Sam hates a quiet car ride. What could he do to cheer Faith up?

   As Faith and Sam made their way towards Key West, the car ride had been an uncomfortably quiet one, and Sam hated it. He could feel the cloud of Remy’s death, it hung over Faith’s head and the heaviness their journey had taken on permeated through the car like a fog. Faith had been almost silent, lost in her mind while she took her turn behind the wheel. Gone was the girl who had sung all the lyrics to Ice Ice Baby on the way Illinois just to prove to Sam that she could and in her place, was a girl who was so lost in her own head, Sam was pretty sure that if she thought any harder, her brain would implode.

    He had tried his best to keep the conversation as they made their way south as light as possible, but the laughter between them had disappeared, and he wanted it back. Sam and Faith switched as day gave way to night. While he drove down the dark highway, Sam decided he wanted to do something nice for Faith, something to cheer her up.

    I might be able to come up with something if I wasn’t going through the fuckin’ Ozarks, He thought to himself. Sam glanced at Faith who was passed out next to him with her head on her shoulder, tucked between the seat and the door.

 “Maybe I can get her one of those fancy coffees from the gas station or something,” Sam muttered to himself. Even as he said it, he chastised himself in his head for the shallowness and pure suckiness of it.

    Sam wracked his brain, passing one of the many brightly lit billboards that dotted the fields along the highway when the idea finally came to him, one that he knew was perfect.

    “Faith, Faith.”

    Faith woke up slowly to the sound of her name. Her neck had stiffened up along with her other bruised parts of her body, and she winced at the discomfort in her bones as she stretched. She opened her eyes to find the car stopped and Sam standing next to her, with her door open.

    “Time to switch?” She asked, not knowing exactly how long she had been asleep, other than it was daylight when she had last had her eyes open.

    “Yeah, but, I got a surprise for ya first,” He said, causing Faith to scrunch up her face in confusion.

    “Just c’mon,” Sam urged, motioning for her to get out of the car. Skeptically, Faith slid out of the passenger seat and shut the door behind her. The moonless sky was spattered with stars. The occasional cloud that passed over them combined with the unusually balmy temperature made for a beautiful night. Faith trudged blindly to the front of the car, feeling the gravel crackle under her feet when Sam turned and grabbed her shoulders stopping her.

    “Alright, wait here and close your eyes,” Sam instructed her, a hint of happy anxiousness creeping into his voice.

“Come on Sam,” She groaned grumpily and dug her hands into the pockets of her jeans.

    “Just, trust me on this. Please? C’mon, close ‘em, you know you wanna.” He taunted her.

Faith sighed and obliged, closing her eyes and folding her arms across her chest.

“No, I really don’t,” She muttered under her breath. She could hear as Sam opened the car door, clicked the headlights on and close it again. The frayed ends of her nerves zinged for a minute until she heard the crunch of his boots over the gravel. Oh good, he’s not ditching me, she thought fleetingly.

    “Keep them closed.”

    “Where the hell are we?”

    “Hang on. Just one more second… Ok, now you can open them.”

    Faith opened her eyes, the object in front of her making them go wide with wonder. No more than ten yards in front of her, Samuel Drake stood proudly next to a comically large fork. The high-beam headlights of the car bathed the shiny utensil in a dazzling light, allowing Faith to appreciate the sheer size of it, even in the middle of the night. She looked around. A sign advertising the small town ahead of them and their famous fork was dimly lit down the road. As Sam pulled his phone from his jacket pocket, he cleared his throat dramatically.

    “Welcome to the world’s largest fork! This fork stands 35 feet tall and is made of pure stainless steel. The fork was erected four years ago to celebrate the relocation of the Food Network to the nearby town of Cecee. This grand utensil that stands before you weighs in at an impressive of 11.2 tons! Well, holy shit!” Sam finished, surprised at the facts the webpage on his phone told him.

Faith ambled towards the fork, her face still fixed in awe as she stared up at it towering above her. She touched one of the large tines that anchored it in the ground. As she felt the cool steel under her hands, a small chuckle escaped from Faith's lips. Sam watched her, the girl he had met had started to emerge and bubble to the surface before his eyes slowly.

    After a moment, he asked, “So, whaddya think?”

    “You drove to see the worlds largest fork.”

    “Yeah. Well, now I can say I’ve seen it, and you can too,” Sam answered, throwing Faith’s own words playfully back at her. “And I thought it might, ya know, cheer you up a little.”

    Speechless at that moment, Faith could only offer Sam a goofy stunned smile. She couldn’t believe it. With the thought of massive treasure on the horizon, Samuel Drake cared about how she was doing. He could have driven straight through to the end of Florida and let her stew in her own head. Instead, he wanted to make sure she was ok, and he did it with a giant fork.

    Holy crap, he gets me. Faith savored the revelation. She wasn’t used to that. She once had a boyfriend break up with her after six months because he couldn’t ‘get’ her, couldn’t understand her, that her personality was too weird. Sam Drake had managed to do it only knowing her a week.

    Faith turned to look at Sam who was awaiting her reaction to his kind gesture. Closing the distance between them, she looked up at him, a warm grin plastered across his face. The headlights from their car causing the stubble to stand out on his strong jaw and bursting the gold flecks of hazel in his eyes, giving them the glow of a candle flame. Handsome and kind, a dangerous combination.

    I really want to kiss him right now; the thought blossomed in her mind.

Sadly, another slithered in just as quickly.

    As soon as this is over, it’s done. He’ll be gone, and you’ll be alone, again, the last sentence of the negativity reverberant in her head.

    Instead of a kiss, she grabbed his hand in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze, letting her thumb caress the rough, bruised back of his.

    “Thank you, Sam,” Faith said sincerely, giving him a grateful smile.

    Shit, for a second there I thought she was gonna kiss me, Sam thought to himself, feeling a drop of disappointment. Kinda wish she did, allowing the truthful consciousness that he always pushed to the far depths of his mind to whisper to him.

    “You’re welcome,” He replied, enjoying the feeling of his hand in hers. He shook off his deep thoughts and brought himself back to center.

    “Geez, you had me nervous for a second there… I thought maybe you were gonna tell me to go fork myself,” Sam finished after a beat. Faith groaned playfully and let Sam’s hand drop from hers while he gave an amused chuckle.

    “That was just awful!” Faith said as she shook her head.

    “It wasn’t that bad!”

    “Cutlery humor is not your specialty,” Faith said, heading back to the car, Sam in step behind her.

    “No, but admit it, I’m still a funny guy.”

    Faith stopped short at the front of the car.

    “C’mon, admit it, you think I’m funny,” Sam said with a cocky grin.

    “You’re hysterical, now fork over the keys,” Faith deadpanned as she held out her hand impatiently.

Sam’s cocky grin changed to a look of slack-jawed awe, causing the fragile stony look on Faith's face to give way to a triumphant happy laugh.

“You’re somethin’ else,” Sam said with an amused look as he fished the keys out of his pocket. Faith grabbed them with a confident smile and headed towards the driver’s seat. Sam let his head drop as he walked to his side of the car. An expression of relief and happiness on his face that stemmed from the thought in his head and his heart.

There she is.

Everyone who owns a home knows how common plumbing problems can be. Most plumbing problems are found in the kitchen and bathroom. In reality, every homeowner at some point will be troubled by a plumbing problem. Here's some tips to use when this happens.

If your pipes bang when you turn on the water, and all the pipes are anchored correctly, you should add some straps or cushion the pipes with a rubber blanket. There may be times when you will need to do both. Make sure that if you have copper pipes, you are not using galvanized straps.

If you are paying someone else to do the plumbing in your home be sure that they are licensed in your state to do that work. Some people who have little or no knowledge of plumbing will try to pass themselves off as a pro. So you can see the importance of checking to see if your plumber is licensed. You should also see if you can find positive testimonials about the plumbers work.

To eliminate the possibility of having frozen pipes, maintain a constant temperature in your home above freezing, and be certain to adequately insulate those pipes that are out in the weather. The pipes may freeze if the surrounding temperature drops below freezing. In the best situation, it can take hours for frozen pipes to thaw and water to run freely again. The worst case would be that they burst, creating water damage and a big repair bill.

Keep your garbage disposal clean to make sure it lasts for awhile. You can prevent annoying odors and promote smooth operation by setting up a regular cleaning routine with lemon rinds, dish soap, and even cherry pits.

Certain things shouldn't go into your plumbing system. By knowing what you can and cannot flush or throw into the garbage disposal and sink, you can save yourself from a costly repair or disaster. A plumber can usually get your plumbing back into working condition, but can be avoided if you know how to dispose of items correctly.

Make sure everyone in your home knows where the main water shut off valve is and that they know how to work it. That way, if there is a water problem, anyone in your household can turn off the water, thereby reducing the chances that your home will incur major water damage.

If you are trying to decide on the material to use for your hose, stick with stainless steel. Stainless steel has a very solid construction and stays durable for many years, eliminating the need for replacement. Also, this material is less prone to bursting, which can yield severe plumbing issues.

One way to avoid a common plumbing problem is to make sure never to flush anything but human waste and toilet paper down a toilet. Other things made of paper like tissues, paper towels, and the like do not dissolve the same way toilet paper does and can get stuck.

If water backs up from one sink to another, it is because the lines are connected. The part of the branch line for one device might be higher than another, but most likely there is also a blockage in the branch line connecting the two devices as well. This blockage must be cleaned.

If you have a lot of hair in your shower drain, be sure to get a stopper and put it in the drain. This will catch the hair from going down the drain, which can clog it. Just make sure that you remove hair that is already in the drain before using the stopper.

Make sure that the temperature of your home's water heater is not above 120F. On older water heaters, be sure it is not above medium settings. When temperatures get higher than 120, scalding can occur. Also, having the settings above 120F, tends to use more energy than lower temperatures do.

If the pipes have burst in an upstairs area, use a tool to perforate the ceiling underneath in several places and places pots and pans under to catch the water. If this is not done, the weight of the accumulating water could cause a collapse of the entire ceiling.

In conclusion, there is a lot to know about plumbing and not all of the advice available is useful. Ideally, this article either provided you with new knowledge or it allowed you to solidify current knowledge. Use this great information today and you will be set up for success with any plumbing project.

Plumbing - Wikipedia

Plumbing is any system that conveys fluids for a wide range of applications. Plumbing uses pipes, valves, plumbing fixtures, tanks, and other apparatuses to convey fluids.[1] Heating and cooling (HVAC), waste removal, and potable water delivery are among the most common uses for plumbing, but it is not limited to these applications.[2] The word derives from the Latin for lead, plumbum, as the first effective pipes used in the Roman era were lead pipes.[3]

In the developed world, plumbing infrastructure is critical to public health and sanitation.[4][5]

Boilermakers and pipefitters are not plumbers although they work with piping as part of their trade and their work can include some plumbing.

Plumbing originated during ancient civilizations, as they developed public baths and needed to provide potable water and wastewater removal for larger numbers of people.[6]

The Mesopotamians introduced the world to clay sewer pipes around 4000 BCE, with the earliest examples found in the Temple of Bel at Nippur and at Eshnunna,[7] used to remove wastewater from sites, and capture rainwater, in wells. The city of Uruk contains the oldest known examples of brick constructed Latrines, constructed atop interconnecting fired clay sewer pipes, c.3200 BCE.[8][9] Clay pipes were later used in the Hittite city of Hattusa.[10] They had easily detachable and replaceable segments, and allowed for cleaning.

Standardized earthen plumbing pipes with broad flanges making use of asphalt for preventing leakages appeared in the urban settlements of the Indus Valley Civilization by 2700 BC.[11]

Copper piping appeared in Egypt by 2400 BCE, with the Pyramid of Sahure and adjoining temple complex at Abusir, found to be connected by a copper waste pipe. [12]

The word "plumber" dates from the Roman Empire.[13] The Latin for lead is plumbum. Roman roofs used lead in conduits and drain pipes[14] and some were also covered with lead. Lead was also used for piping and for making baths.[15]

Glass High Bar Support from Downing Designs.

Glass High Bars can be deployed in many areas, not just the kitchen above an Island base. Often, there is no base and one must be fabricated to support the Glass High Bar.  We find it best to deploy 4″ stainless steel tubing with 1/8″ wall thickness as the vertical posts. In this blog, we will show how 2 different approaches that solved the issue of how to secure the base and the glass high bar.

Glass High Bar with Stainless Steel Square Base.

We took a 16″ x 16″ x 3/8″ stainless steel plate, water-jetted a hole to allow for tight passage of the tube, protruded it by ~1/4″ and welded the base to the tube. This provides a very clean look from the top. 4 holes were drilled at the corners and the structure was attached to the concrete and tile floor with  Red Head Drop In Anchors .  Much of the tile directly under the tubing was removed to allow passage of the wiring without slicing it.

The LEDs and their feeder wire present another challenge. Since the wire to drive the LED  strip lights are 1/4″ in diameter, we drilled a hole in the rear of the support, fed the wire down the stainless support tube,  and out the bottom. The grout lines were a perfect conduit to the power supply and LED strip light controller. We aligned the bases to best advantage and then used our Dremel powered grout removal tool to take out all the grout, stuff the 1/4″ LED cable in the groove, and recovered with same color grout.

The Glass High Bar was secured to the 4″x 10″stainless post top with ultra-clear silicone, and allowed to set 24hrs before cured. This 24 hr set time is a consequence of the undulating textured glass bottom,mated with the flat stainless post top. Some of the gaps are 1/2″ and take time to cure vs smaller gaps.

  Glass High Bar with Stainless Steel Post cemented into the ground.

In this instance, we had new construction and access under the concrete slab to secure the stainless posts. Here we made the posts ~24″ too long to secure into the ground and fill with hydraulic cement. The concrete slab was cut into and drilled to provide access for the posts. The posts were also drilled so as to allow the concrete to flow freely inside them to fill the hole.

Rapid Set cement is amazing and can be set in 30 minutes, ready for action. We created a scaffold apparatus around the support. Made sure it was perfectly level, and poured.  Using plumb lines assures that each post top is level with the next.

In this case the stainless post tops were pre-tapped to accept the Low Profile Caps used to secure the glass. Precision measurements are a must in aligning the posts. We use templates to ensure perfect fits.

No silicone is needed. We pre-drill the glass high bars to make these heavy glass counters secure from the eventual party that will be playing out upon them.

No LEDs striplights were used, but the conduct of the lighting feed would be hidden just as above.

Welcome to this video, I'm Mike Stokes showing you how to build a ledger board for a deck attached to a house. Learn more at http://www.lushplanet.net/

Building a deck can add to the monetary value of your home as well as to your enjoyment of it, whether you host parties or sample the beauty of nature from it.

Building your deck requires work and planning, but a properly planned and built deck can be an asset you can enjoy for years.

The ledger provides much of a deck’s strength; it supports the joists at one end, and it provides stiffness to the framing. A free-standing deck, of course, does not have a ledger. The ledger is made of the same material as the rest of the framing usually pressure-treated lumber.

Some builders install the ledger first before they lay out for the footings and dig the post holes. They then use the ledger as the basic point of reference for determining footings, posts, and all the framing.

After you demolish the old deck but before you start work on the new one, you'll need to make sure the wood on and in the house is still in good shape. Water leaking around an old deck ledger can cause significant damage to the house framing.

The existing house rim and the lower support walls need to be solid enough to support the multi-ton weight of a deck filled with people. After the old deck is removed, you'll be able to tell if you can still use the house rim.

If the wall sheathing behind the rim looks good, you're okay. But if the sheathing is rotten, investigate further by removing the rotted areas, and check the house's rim joist and wall framing to see if they're rotten too.

Don't be too eager to rip apart and replace moist or discolored wood; it may still be intact below the surface. Jam a screwdriver into the wood in several places. If the screwdriver penetrates more than 1/4 in. or it's replacement time.

Replacing rotted-out rim joists and lower wooden support walls can be a huge work. You may want to have an experienced carpenter on hand to help walk you through that gauntlet. To properly attach a deck ledger, follow these guidelines.

Drop the level of the new ledger enough to allow at least a 2-in. the gap between the bottom of any doors and the top of the deck boards. That way, water and snow melt won't be able to accumulate and seep under doorsills to ruin interior floors, and storm doors will swing past ice, snow and leaf deposits.

Install metal flashing (drip cap) over the entire length of the top of the ledger. Custom cut and fit another strip of flashing over this drip cap and under doors to cover and protect remaining unflashed areas under doorsills. Caulk the gap between the flashing and the bottom of the door thresholds. Install Z-flashing behind the bottom of the ledger and over the siding below.

This keeps water from wicking along the bottom of the ledger and getting behind the siding. Leave a 1/8-in. the gap between the end of the ledger and the ends of siding and fill it with high-quality exterior caulk to keep water from leaking behind the ends of the ledger.

Anchor deck joists to the ledger with joist hangers, filling each with galvanized joist hanger nails rated for pressure-treated wood. Predrill and sink 1/2-in. dia., galvanized or stainless steel lag screws in every other joist space, alternating up and down positions to keep the ledger from splitting.

Select lag screws specifically rated for treated wood, in lengths that will penetrate the ledger, exterior sheathing and the 1-1/2 in. the thickness of the house rim joist 4 in. is usually the right length.
