Nothing but heart

This is for @flashfictionfridayofficial : A Form of Distraction #FFF228
and @fluffbruary : Duvet.
Fandom: Kamonohashi Ron no kindan suiri/Ron Kamonohashi’s Forbidden Deductions
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3de2d6b4e5dd9abb6f7dfaac8cbd2723/fb210cae8d58cbb9-94/s500x750/91b30e077dc555f3bf6e23ae7bc0bf24e4adf808.jpg)
(Beware of possible spoilers)
Oh, how things had changed.
Ron’s momentary attention was focused on the ceiling’s pattern. Working out the intricate mud-coloured woodwork that turned pitch black in the middle of each square that had been the choice of his grandparents when they used to live here suddenly fascinated him in spite of knowing this place since his childhood. Bless their hearts for that. The lone ceiling fan was installed a year before his mother decided to embark on traveling the world. Living in England for most of his life, she saw to it that he never broke contact with them, insisting that he returned to Japan every summer vacation.
There was a faint rustling movement on his right, he glanced at the brown hair that belonged to a young man next to him, the police detective Totomaru Isshiki covered in his blue duvet. He didn’t forget that he was there. Not at all. He was aware that Toto stayed.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/921e4b9d57377b5a2648e1c2aa87638e/fb210cae8d58cbb9-a2/s500x750/a813d81eb6cff34450dd63777e080848f79d9963.jpg)
Ron turned around and gathered the sleeping man in his arms. Who would have thought that after five years practically living like a hermit another person, a warm body was next to him, willing to be with him? Toto moaned, but his eyes were still closed. Exhaustion took him over after the revelation and danger of the Auberge case. The police officer suffered minor burns, a scratch on his left cheek marred his almost perfect face. And him? Ron thought he would die, and the case was his last deduction. Toto, the ever loyal, came back for him. Lying on the floor of a burning luxury hotel, the brown-haired man told him to get his shit together. But there was no way out, the fire engulfed the whole building. That was the moment they decided to die together. Toto stayed and the rescue team arrived like in a dream.
Apologies, Toto, you don’t know how happy you’ve made me.
What Ron didn’t realise was that in those days of voluntary isolation, he was utterly convinced that he would live and die alone. As a result, his own mother gave him an ultimatum, reckless and selfish, she’d only visit him if one of them was on the verge of sickness or death.
He glanced at Toto’s sleeping face, surprised that the man, only three years older than him and a stranger from a year ago, had become his no. 1 supporter, his wall to lean on.
Toto hugged him back, placed his head on Ron’s neck.
This is a great distraction for tomorrow there is no turning back.
He needed strength to fight the opponent, who finally had shown his fangs ready to strike. Now that Toto was included on the equation, he must think and act double time.
Ron closed his eyes and joined his partner, peaceful for now.

---
Another week(ish) gone by, another update.
This one is both more and less exciting than the last few.
Let's start with the more exciting thing. It's not exciting in a very good way.
PART ONE: I Don't Have Some of the Power
Thursday morning I had a Doctor's appointment to go to. Before I left, the lights in my Office (which, you may recall, is the room that most people would use as their living room) started flickering and my PC was turning off and on. Well, that's not great.
I just shut everything off and left for my appointment.
I got home a couple of hours later and turned my desk lamp on. It started flickering. My PC did not turn on AT ALL.
Honestly, I was exhausted and had taken the rest of the day off so I just went to bed.
Like a half hour later I started hearing a popping and buzzing coming from my bedroom closet.
The closet which held the fusebox. Errrk.
I quickly located the fuse that was the problem and turned it off. Annnnd of course it was the fuse for both the office and half the living room, the part with all the Internet equipment on it. :v
(Note from later: Also, all of this burnt out my power supply on my computer, which was like, six months old. So I had to replace that, but thank GOD my PC was fine otherwise.)
So I already had Arturo coming that day. I just went to sleep for a couple hours, then when I woke up I pulled out the 'ol hotspot yet again, thanks work.
Right around the exact same time, Arturo arrived as well as Jose, Maria and what I assume was their son.
They got to work staining the fence!! And I showed Arturo what was going on with the fuse. In case you might be thinking that he did something that caused this, he literally had not actually touched the electricity when he'd been there before, we'd just discussed what I wanted done.
After some examination, he told me he wasn't sure he could even find a replacement for the 60-year-old fuse but would go to the speciality shop and try the next day. I sighed and asked him how much it would be to install a whole new fusebox. He said they'd also need to move it outside so it'd be up to code and get inspected. And then I asked how much it would cost to rewire the whole damn house. He gave me a price which sunk my stomach but let me chew on it.
Arturo did tell me that I was damn lucky that I was home when this happened (I hadn't explained that I'd been out for a few hours that morning) because there was a real good chance, especially with the clothes in the closet right by the fuse box, that the house could have caught fire and burned down.
Errrrrrgh. But I believed him, with what I'd been hearing.
He was very cool and rerouted all the power for the office/living room to run on the same circuit as the guest bedroom, which rarely even gets used. So I had internet and power back in the most important parts of my house (after the kitchen.)
So then he got started doing most of the things I'd called him out for originally.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/dc8819940f65878af63eb4fb16b7908f/666a6d1cba26b21d-1f/s540x810/0a337b79f3f744fb181ad4274622ff76ea6cf3ed.jpg)
So first of all, I have power on the Patio!! An outlet covered by a little waterproof box! I can plug things in... outside! That runs through the same circuit as the washer/dryer.
He also rewired the outside wall light and ran the wire so my ceiling fan could be installed.
And then...
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/e242882fd7810dedad9cd9915678ba88/666a6d1cba26b21d-d2/s540x810/ca32908165038f09b17f25368b8be2f7d73eee60.jpg)
I have an outlet in my master bathroom! Maybe I'll actually use that bathroom again at some point?
Don't love how the outlet very much doesn't match with the pretty silver plate I got but I'll deal with that later. The important thing is that someone could like, actually blow dry their hair in that bathroom now. :p
And best of all...
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/17a569d76073be05d2c590a8f4dfb049/666a6d1cba26b21d-57/s540x810/0342ce1e8655594888b2ad75ef6f04ead4a450b1.jpg)
Holy CRAP I have LIGHTS in my OFFICE!! Recessed lighting with a DIMMER. It's... so beautiful. I can actually see in this room at night.
(Yes you can see where the "accidental skylight" sas and it's still not painted. We'll get to that.)
The lights are all on the same switch, and like I said, on a dimmer. Honestly, I'm still not used to it.
It's actually I think now TOO bright. I think when Arturo comes back I'm going to ask about getting the front 2 lights on a different switch from the back 2. I just keep them on the dimmest setting. And when I go to bed, I turn them off and turn the desk lamp back on because I like to give the illusion that somone might be awake, and the recessed lights are way too bright shining down the hall into my bedroom.
I've also forgotten they're there and forgotten to turn them on in the morning like, three of the seven days that I've had them, lol. I remember eventually.
But I do really, really love having them. It was a stupid little dream of mine for so long that actually came true. Like the fence.
HEY speaking of the fence...
Part Two: Dark Walnut
In the meantime... staining was happening!!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2bea96128a821a36c1028e4760455e7b/666a6d1cba26b21d-57/s540x810/a261e8641c66053bab531e48b302cf37994cb82c.jpg)
Took a picture mid-work! Wanted a comparison picture. I absolutely loved the color going on!
And then it dried!
And it's different, but I STILL love it!
Here's some pics I just took tonight, featuring Feral Peter:
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/452c78599c4d2d337ec93913d45444cf/666a6d1cba26b21d-1d/s540x810/d1e7cdf35da683554fa4129f6ae58a1e16745947.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2b3808940bf9fa54398714b90988a091/666a6d1cba26b21d-53/s540x810/dcf8c96bbfe299b6557498ed50fce91b6f2bc409.jpg)
So yeah, the neighbors fence got stained, too. We had permission. The older wood does not at all match the new wood. But it's fine. At least it's closer to the same color now. I can live with it.
A little piece of drama that happened after this is that when they sprayed, I know they used some cardboard to try to mitigate the mist coming from it. But when they sprayed the gate in the front next to my corner neighbor (who already had the fence), some of it still drifted to their white SUV in their parking lot.
My neighbor was very cool when she let me know. I offered to pay for her car detailing. The Detail didn't get it out. Erk.
I did some research and let her know that rubbing alcohol or paint thinner should work so sayeth Car Dudes on the Internet. I also had a pair of Clay detailing mitts overnighted for them because that was also supposed to help.
I should text her tomorrow to make sure that it's all good now. I've asked her a couple of times to send me the total they spent and a method to pay them, haven't heard back.
Anyway, hopefully that bit is done. I need to talk to Joel about it still.
And yes, there's still all sorts of stuff back in the yard. I do need to drag that old rusty grill to the cub still, too. TBH that was the last I've seen so far of Jose and Maria. Let's skip ahead to Sunday...
Part Three: Sunday Visitor
I sent Joel a long text of "Here's what needs to be done still" on Friday. I'd noticed a little hole in the facing on my roof, there's some dirt and garbage that need to be moved/thrown away, and most importantly, there were three small leaks in the patio roof that needed to be taken care of before the patio ceiling could go on.
Joel showed up Sunday and fixed the little hole and leaks himself. We talked about the gutters that need to go up and when the ceiling can get done. He said sometime this week, it hasn't happened yet. I just texted him.
I also talked to my insurance about getting a discount now because of all the work. I need to send them receipts/work orders and pictures. Waiting to get the receipts/WOs from Joel. Don't worry -- I haven't paid him in full yet. If he wants to get the rest of the money, the works gotta be done, and I do believe it'll get done soon.
*Update*: Patio should be done tomorrow. Gutters on Saturday.
Part Four: I'm Going to Get the Right Power
I talked to my parents Friday morning, also. Talked through my finances, and the cost of the electrical work. Asked some friends who had theirs done and they agreed that Arturo's price was fair.
Decided to pull some money out of a savings account I really didn't want to touch, but decided that having my house not catch fire and burn down was worth it. Also to just finally have all my electronics grounded.
So I called Arturo back and asked him when he could come rewire the whole damn house.
We're still working on the date. And I keep a real close ear on the closet for any more 60+ year old fuses failing until then.
Savings... who needs savings? :p So that'll be a whole new update.
Part Five: Conquering the Mountain
OK so other news... the Garage and Laundry Mountain.
Wednesday night I had gotten almost all of the clothes out of Laundry Mountain and taken into the Guest Bedroom. I did a couple of loads of laundry along the way, too.
Friday I spent a little more time doing the rest of the major parts of the cleanout. Got all clothes out.
The towels are in their own pile in the garage still, and the sheets/blankets/pillowcases in another. But the clothes are... being dealt with first.
I threw away about three 12 gallon garbage bags of old, ratty, worn out or stained clothes.
I set aside about 2 bags for donate. That pile is going to grow.
Once the Mountain was inside, I then set to sorting it. Underthings and socks were semi-sorted in the garage originally, but I finished that. Pants went into two piles: Ones that fit, and ones that didn't. Then all shirts got sorted the same way. Coverups/jackets went into one pile and dresses into another.
Pants that were too small all got put away into the guest room dresser, as did a big drawer of shirts. Anything new that was too big got bagged up.
There's still a TUB of Too Small shirts sitting in the room. I thought I'd be able to put them in the dresser, but instead I discovered two drawers full of jeans that was given by someone a long time ago that I had completely forgotten about. Score. Those stayed. Gonna be a big money saver later on. :)
I got all the dresses and most of the jackets/coverups hung up. Socks sorted into pairs / singles.
And that's kind of where we are now. Big pile of shirts that fit, and I need to pull all the clothes out of my bedroom dresser for sorting, as well. Then things can start getting put away and I can make bigger decisions about what I want vs. what it's time to get rid of for what still fits.
For now.
That's a whole other post I've been meaning to make for a few months. Maybe when all this house drama is done.
Tuesday Trash Day the trash can was totally full. My recycle bin is totally full. I left about six more bags of trash, plus two old laundry hampers full, and several large boxes out for the bulk trash removal guys to take care of.
Look, the garage is still a disaster, but it's like, only 50% of the disaster it was a week and a half ago.
Once the clothes are dealt with in the next day or three, the towels and then the sheets/pillowcases are next. All of the rest of the STUFF in the garage can wait until it's not 100 degrees outside again. I've made such a huge dent that it shouldn't be too hard to finish... later.
Part Five: Odds and Ends.
I've done a bit of other cleanup. Tonight I grabbed some trashbags and did three (only partially filled but HEAVY!) bags of random garbage, mostly big rocks of cement, from my backyard. It still doesn't look great, but at least there's not chunks of debris scattered around. Aside from the obvious things in those pics above.
There's obviously a lot to be done to make the backyard nice, and I don't know when I'll have the money for it, but i did price out the one other big thing in the BY I've been dying to do since the day I moved in. It'll be about $700.
But I'm finally gonna do it.
Also, life is finding a way. From the ruins of my fallen tree...
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f85ce3ffc2bb3f1fd8309848b430061c/666a6d1cba26b21d-fd/s540x810/9a260eda274b41f010d7a4c720fb2e971f01a79f.jpg)
Hard to tell but you can see that sprout in the first pic above of my completed fence. The tree that fell over in the storm onto the fence is trying to regrow.
I think I'm going to let it. Let's see what happens.
Probably update again after the house is rewired and I have a porch worth sitting under. :)

“[I] just go to the junkyard and see what I could get,” he told The New York Times in 2010. “Went by the iron man, the boat man, the timber man. Ran by every month. If they had no use for it, I took it.”
He collected air conditioner fans, ceiling fans, industrial fans — the biggest is 25 feet across — and covered them with reflective pieces of highway signs that he cut by hand, so that when light hits them at night, the sculptures dazzle like fireworks or church windows that spin. He swears he didn’t measure, didn’t weigh, yet each windmill, as he called them, moves with engineered precision.
“I don’t use a ruler much,” he said on YouTube. “I can go down there with a hacksaw and I can come within a damn eighth of an inch just guessing at it.”
Simpson was one of the greatest visionary artists in the country, says Roger Manley, director and curator of the Gregg Museum of Art + Design in Raleigh, North Carolina, and author of Signs and Wonders: Outsider Art Inside North Carolina. “I think he’s North Carolina’s greatest sculptor, not just great self-taught sculptor.”
Rebecca Hoffberger, the founder and recently retired director of the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, agrees. “The level of Vollis’s imagination and the scale in which he was working is without precedent.”
Simpson trained himself on the math and mechanics to turn other people’s discards into brightly colored and whimsical Ferris wheels, clowns on bicycles, airplanes and rocket ships, men pulling a long saw, his son playing a guitar, ducks, horses, and dogs, all representations of his life as a farmer, father, and soldier.

Simpson was one of 12 siblings, born in 1919 in tiny Lucama, North Carolina. His father was a farmer, but Simpson was more interested in the machinery, eventually building a business moving houses and heavy farm equipment. In 1941 he was serving in the military on the island of Saipan when he converted the propeller of a junked B-29 bomber into a windmill that powered a much-needed washing machine. Back on the farm, he invented crop sprayers and built 13 cranes by welding pulleys, booms, and gantries, Manley says, and attaching them to the back of Army surplus trucks. He used them to move brick buildings or huge factory machinery, to pick up combines stuck in the mud or — legend has it — a locomotive when it fell off a trestle bridge.
He was in his 60s when he started building whirligigs for the fun of it.

He had prestigious visitors as well. In the mid-1990s, Hoffberger was preparing to open the American Visionary Art Museum. She’d seen Simpson’s work in Manley’s book, and after Manley introduced the two, she commissioned Simpson to create a signature piece, the visual draw to her new museum. Manley drove Simpson to Baltimore to see the site. Simpson, who had never been out of his home state except during his military stint, didn’t know how to ride an escalator and had never seen multiple-crossover overpasses. “It was like taking somebody from back in time,” Manley said.
Simpson crafted the 55-foot Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, repeatedly voted as the most beloved public art in Baltimore, so precisely calibrated for the space that it looks like visitors could reach out and touch it from the balcony.
He took his sons up to help install it in 1993, Hoffberger says, sinking an old Exxon pole 13 feet into the ground, Mike Simpson climbing on the structure while his father held a rope to keep the boom from swinging in the wind.
“He must have done that for well over three hours,” Hoffberger said. Then a staff member offered to give Simpson a break. “It took three of my young male staff to hold it, and they were only able to hold the boom for like a half-hour without being exhausted. And he had done it by himself. That’s how strong he was.”
Simpson was also smart. “If you listen to the man on YouTube, you would think he was dumb as a box of rocks,” says Mel Bowen, one of the men who maintain the sculptures. “But the man is not stupid. And he wasn’t lazy. He worked hard all his life.”

Ventilation by Exhaust Fans
An exhaust fan is a mechanical ventilation device that helps to draw out stale and impure air from your home and bring in fresh air, thereby improving the quality of indoor air. Exhaust fans are typically ducted to the exteriors of your house, through which bad indoor air can effectively be removed from your living space.
Exhaust fans are classified into various types, mainly depending on the type of mount and the location where you need to install the fans. The different types are:
Ceiling Mounted Exhaust Fans: As the name suggests, ceiling exhaust fans are those which are installed in the ceiling. Such fans expel stale air from your home upwards through the roof. The fan is connected to ducting, which is exhausted outside the home via an external vent, like a roof cap or soffit exhaust vent.
Inline Exhaust Fans: Unlike ceiling exhaust fans that are installed directly into the ceiling, inline exhaust fans are typically mounted in-between ducting, hence the name inline fan. For instance, if you wanted to ventilate an area that did not have clearance or space for a ceiling mount fan, you would make use of inline exhaust fans to ventilate such areas. The exhaust fan would be placed in between the ductwork and the stale air would travel through the ducts and ultimately be expelled from your home. Since inline fans are not mounted directly to the ceiling, they are very quiet. When installing an inline fan, to reduce noise, we recommend using an insulated flex duct that is at least eight feet long from the intake port on the ceiling to the inline fan. Inline exhaust fans are ideal for exhausting areas or rooms where you cannot, or do not wish to install the exhaust fan directly. Since these types of exhaust fans are mounted in remote areas, they are also referred to as remote mounted exhaust fans. Inline exhaust fans can either be single-port (exhausting from a single area) or multi-port (exhausting from multiple areas).
Wall Mounted Exhaust Fans: These exhaust fans are installed on walls. Since they are installed on exterior walls of the home and not on interior walls, the stale air has a direct route to the outside of your home and thus no duct work is required in installing these exhaust fans.
Combination Exhaust Fans: Exhaust fans are also available as combination units. You have the choice of a fan-light combination where the exhaust fan provides illumination as well, or heat-fan-light combination wherein you get a heater, light and ventilating fan all in a single device.
Exterior Remote Mounted Exhaust Fans: While most other exhaust fans are installed inside your home and push stale air out, exterior remote mounted fans are installed outside your home and pull out stale indoor air instead of pushing it out. The main benefit of these exhaust fans is that regardless of however noisy they are, most of the noise remains outside your home.
Kitchen Range Exhaust Fans: These fans are mounted inside the range hood over your kitchen stove. Such fans not only help to rid your kitchen of stale air but also help to expel bad odors and reduce moisture levels in your cooking area.
These several types of exhaust fans can be used for complete ventilation of your bilding including intermittent local ventilation for baths, kitchens, dryer rooms; continuous whole building ventilation, and for exhausting hard-to-air spaces such as crawl spaces, attics, and basements.
Canada Blower exhaust fans are very effective at ventilating your home and other living spaces. Without proper ventilation, the air inside your home can get filled with harmful contaminants and disease causing pathogens.
Pollutants such as pesticides, harmful gases, smoke, pet dander, lead, asbestos, dust mites, paint fumes, grease etc get released into indoor air due to daily activities such as cooking, smoking, burning fuel, bathing, renovating etc. In addition to these pollutants, activities such as bathing, cooking, and washing also release excess moisture in the air and make indoor air extremely humid. If not ventilated adequately, these added pollutants and increased moisture levels can decrease the quality of indoor air greatly, thereby leading to various problems such as:
Health problems including asthma, allergies, nose bleeds, skin rashes, headaches, nausea, and other breathing disorders. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, a large percentage of the over 20 million annual asthma cases in the US alone can be attributed to bad indoor air quality.
Split, warped and rotted furniture due to excess humidity.
Cracked and peeling paint on the walls.
Formation of fungus, mold spores, and mildew, which in turn lead to severe health problems.
Thus, by using exhaust fans to ventilate your building efficiently and completely, thereby improving indoor air quality, you can avoid of all these problems ventilating.com fanblower.com highpressureblower.net industrialblowerfan.com industrialfanblower.net industrialfanblower.com pressureblower.net northernindustrialsupplycompany.com industrialpressureblower.com tenderall.com chicagoblowercanada.com cbblower.com buffaloblower.com buffalofan.com nis-co.com canadianblower.com olegsystems.com canadablower.com abbblower.com acmefan.net industrialblower.net fansandblowers.net americanblower.net barryfan.com cincinnatifan.net canadafans.com barryfan.net.
When sizing a Canada Blower exhaust fan that does not open directly to the outside but is ducted, it is important to ensure that the exhaust fan has the capability to move stale air throughout the duct and ultimately to the outside. Here, we first need to understand what static pressure and equivalent duct length is.
Inside every duct, there is a constant pressure being exerted at any point from all directions. When an exhaust fan moves air through the duct, the air counters resistance from this pressure which is known as static pressure. Thus, an exhaust fan has to have the ability to overcome the static pressure in a duct so as to effectively duct stale air to the outside of your home. This can be done by calculating the equivalent duct length of any duct.

How to Prevent Mold Growth During Basement Restoration
Preventing mold growth during basement restoration is essential for ensuring a healthy and safe living space. Mold thrives in damp, dark, and poorly ventilated areas, which is why basements are particularly susceptible to mold growth. If you're planning a basement restoration project, taking the necessary steps to prevent mold can save you a lot of trouble down the road.
1. Identify and Fix Moisture Problems
The first and most crucial step in preventing mold growth is to address any existing moisture issues. Mold needs moisture to grow, and basements are notorious for having leaks or high humidity levels. Before starting your restoration, inspect the basement for any signs of water intrusion, such as leaks in the walls, floor, or foundation. Check for cracks in the foundation or damaged pipes that could be allowing water to seep in.
To fix these issues, you may need to waterproof the walls or install a sump pump to manage groundwater. It’s essential to hire a professional to identify and correct these problems early. By stopping moisture at the source, you’re already halfway to preventing mold from developing.
2. Ensure Proper Ventilation
One of the best ways to prevent mold is by keeping the air in the basement dry and circulating. Proper ventilation helps to keep humidity levels in check, which is a key factor in mold growth. Install vents or exhaust fans that will allow air to flow freely through the space. If your basement is prone to high humidity, consider investing in a dehumidifier. This can help to keep moisture levels below 60%, which is ideal for mold prevention.
Basement windows can also be a helpful tool in providing natural ventilation. If possible, open them during dry days to allow fresh air to flow in and reduce moisture buildup.
3. Control Humidity Levels
Humidity is one of the biggest contributors to mold growth. Installing a dehumidifier is an excellent way to regulate humidity levels, especially during the warmer months when moisture tends to rise. Keep the relative humidity in your basement below 60%. A hygrometer, a simple humidity meter, can help you monitor these levels to ensure they stay within the safe range.
Another way to control humidity is by making sure that your gutters and downspouts are clear. Clogged gutters can direct water towards your basement, raising humidity levels and creating an environment that’s perfect for mold to thrive.
4. Use Mold-Resistant Materials
During your basement restoration, consider using mold-resistant materials. For example, opt for moisture-resistant drywall or fiberglass insulation instead of traditional materials that can absorb water. Using mold-resistant paint or coating on walls and ceilings can also provide an added layer of protection. These materials are specifically designed to inhibit mold growth, which can save you from headaches later on.
Additionally, when choosing flooring, avoid carpet or other porous materials that can easily trap moisture. Instead, go for moisture-resistant flooring options like vinyl, tile, or concrete that won’t absorb water and provide a home for mold.
5. Inspect the Restoration Work Regularly
Mold can often develop slowly and may not be visible immediately. After your basement restoration is complete, make sure to inspect the area regularly for any signs of mold or moisture issues. Keep an eye on areas where water could accumulate, such as near the foundation, windows, and plumbing fixtures. If you do spot any mold, address it promptly to prevent it from spreading and causing more damage.
6. Trust a Professional for Basement Restoration
While there are many steps you can take on your own, the most effective way to prevent mold growth during basement restoration is to trust professionals who specialize in this field. At Century Restoration and Maintenance, we provide top-notch basement restoration services in Marietta, GA.

Keep Your Home Mould-Free With These 9 Tips
Mould is not just an unsightly nuisance; it can also pose significant health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies. Ensuring your home remains mould-free is not just about aesthetics but also about creating a healthy and comfortable living space with pipe relining Sydney.
The following list provides some actionable tips to help you keep mould at bay and maintain a safe environment for your family.
Improve Ventilation in Every Room
Good airflow is a key factor in preventing mould growth. Areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are especially prone to high humidity levels, which can lead to mould. Use exhaust fans when cooking or taking showers to expel excess moisture. If your home lacks adequate ventilation, consider opening windows regularly or installing mechanical ventilation systems to maintain consistent airflow. Regularly cleaning vents and ensuring they are unobstructed will also improve their efficiency.
Control Indoor Humidity Levels
Mould thrives in humid conditions, so keeping indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50% is essential. Invest in a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels, and use a dehumidifier in areas prone to excess moisture. Pay close attention to spaces like basements, which are often damp. Avoid drying clothes indoors, as this can significantly increase humidity, and opt for outdoor drying or use a vented dryer instead.
Repair Leaks Promptly
Even minor leaks can provide the perfect conditions for mould growth if left unattended. Check under sinks, around windows, and in ceilings for signs of water damage or leaks. Repairing these issues promptly will prevent water from seeping into walls, flooring, or ceilings, where mould can grow out of sight. Regular inspections of plumbing fixtures and seals can help catch potential issues early.
Clean and Maintain Gutters
Clogged gutters can lead to water overflowing and pooling near your home’s foundation, creating the perfect environment for mould. Regularly inspect and clean gutters to ensure water flows freely. Consider installing gutter guards to reduce debris accumulation. Additionally, make sure downspouts direct water at least three feet away from your home to prevent water from seeping into the foundation.
Use Mould-Resistant Products
When renovating or redecorating, opt for materials specifically designed to resist mould. For example, mould-resistant drywall and paint with anti-microbial properties can help reduce the risk of mould growth. These materials are particularly beneficial in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. They provide an extra layer of protection and are often a worthwhile investment for long-term mould prevention.
Keep Surfaces Dry
Damp surfaces are a breeding ground for mould, so make it a habit to wipe down countertops, windowsills, and shower walls regularly. After using the bathroom, take a moment to dry tiles and fixtures to remove lingering moisture. Similarly, dry any spills immediately to prevent water from seeping into porous materials like wood or fabric, where mould can quickly take hold.
Declutter and Organise Storage Spaces
Cluttered areas such as closets, basements, and attics can restrict airflow, making them more susceptible to dampness and mould growth. Declutter these spaces and store items in airtight plastic containers instead of cardboard boxes, which can absorb moisture. Leave some space between stored items and walls to encourage air circulation. Regularly check these areas for signs of mould and address any issues immediately.
Inspect and Maintain Your HVAC System
Your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system plays a significant role in controlling indoor air quality and humidity levels. Ensure that filters are replaced regularly and ducts are cleaned to prevent the spread of mould spores. Professional maintenance services can help identify potential issues, such as condensation in ducts or faulty components that may encourage mould growth.
Address Condensation Issues
Condensation on windows, walls, or pipes is a clear indicator of excess moisture. Use insulated windows and weather stripping to reduce condensation. Wipe down affected surfaces immediately and identify the source of the problem. In some cases, installing double-glazed windows or improving insulation can help address underlying issues and reduce condensation long-term.
Preventing mould requires a proactive approach that addresses the conditions mould needs to thrive: moisture, poor ventilation, and clutter. By implementing these tips, you can significantly reduce the risk of mould in your home, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment for your family. Regular maintenance, timely repairs, and good habits will keep your home mould-free and provide peace of mind for years to come.

2025 Bathroom Renovation Mistakes to Avoid
Renovating your bathroom is an exciting project that promises to breathe new life into one of the most essential spaces in your home. Whether you're looking to enhance the style, improve functionality, or increase the value of your property, a well-planned bathroom renovation can significantly elevate your daily experience. However, as with any major home improvement, the process can be fraught with challenges, especially in 2025, when evolving design trends, rising material costs, and the need for advanced technology make it more complicated than ever. Bathroom renovations Central Coast require careful attention to detail, from budgeting and choosing the right materials to planning for future needs and ensuring the space is functional. With so many decisions to make, it's easy to make costly mistakes that can turn your dream bathroom into a source of frustration. Whether you're updating an outdated design, creating a spa-like retreat, or reconfiguring the layout to make the most of limited space, understanding common renovation pitfalls will help you avoid unnecessary setbacks and expenses. 1. Ignoring the Budget
One of the most frequent mistakes homeowners make when renovating a bathroom is failing to set and stick to a realistic budget. Bathroom renovations often come with unexpected costs, whether due to hidden issues like plumbing or structural damage, or the need for higher-quality materials than initially planned.
Tip: Before you start, create a detailed budget that includes a buffer for unforeseen expenses—typically 10–15% of the total cost. Factor in not just the costs of materials and labour but also permits, disposal fees, and professional design consultations if necessary. Make sure to get multiple quotes from contractors to avoid overpaying.
2. Skipping Professional Input
Although DIY projects can be rewarding, bathroom renovations are one area where professional expertise is crucial. Plumbing, electrical, and structural work often require specialised knowledge to ensure that everything is safe and up to code. Poorly executed installations can result in leaks, electrical hazards, or costly repairs down the line.
Tip: Always hire licenced professionals for plumbing and electrical work, even if it means adjusting your budget. A certified contractor can help you make the most of your space and ensure that the renovation meets local building codes and safety standards. 3. Overlooking Ventilation
Many bathroom renovators focus on aesthetics and forget to account for proper ventilation. Inadequate airflow can cause moisture buildup, which, over time, leads to mould, mildew, and damage to your walls and ceilings.
Tip: Ensure your bathroom has a high-quality exhaust fan that is appropriately sized for the space. A fan with humidity-sensing capabilities is a good investment, as it will turn on automatically when moisture levels rise. Additionally, consider placing windows or utilising skylights to encourage natural ventilation.
4. Choosing the Wrong Materials
Bathrooms are high-moisture environments, and choosing the wrong materials can lead to deterioration and constant maintenance issues. For example, untreated wood can warp, porous tiles can absorb water, and non-waterproof paints can peel or bubble.
Tip: When selecting materials, opt for water-resistant, durable products like porcelain tiles, fiberglass bathtubs, and moisture-resistant paints. Modern materials like quartz countertops and luxury vinyl flooring are also excellent choices for bathrooms due to their durability and easy maintenance.
5. Poor Space Planning
Space planning is vital, particularly in smaller bathrooms where every inch matters. Many homeowners make the mistake of choosing large, bulky fixtures that overcrowd the space. This leads to a cramped and uncomfortable environment.
Tip: Focus on maximising every available inch of space. Consider wall-mounted vanities to create more floor space, and opt for corner sinks and smaller bathtubs. Custom storage solutions, such as built-in shelving or recessed niches in the shower, can also help you make the most of limited space.
6. Ignoring Lighting Design
Lighting is one of the most essential yet often overlooked aspects of a bathroom renovation. Proper lighting is needed for both function and ambiance. Without it, even the most beautiful bathroom can feel inadequate or impractical.
Tip: Aim for layered lighting that includes ambient, task, and accent lighting. Install overhead lighting for overall illumination, task lighting around the mirror for grooming and makeup, and accent lighting to highlight architectural features like tiled walls or art pieces. LED lights are energy-efficient and offer a range of colour temperatures to set the right mood.
7. Overloading Trends
It’s tempting to dive into the latest bathroom design trends, especially with 2025’s array of stylish innovations. However, overloading your bathroom with trends can make it feel dated in a few years. A bathroom should be both functional and timeless, so be cautious with bold design choices.
Tip: While it’s great to incorporate trendy elements, such as matte finishes or bold colours, balance them with classic designs. Choose neutral tones for large features like tiles and fixtures, and introduce trendy accents in smaller, easy-to-update elements like towels, rugs, or art.
8. Disregarding Functionality
While aesthetics are important, your bathroom must first and foremost serve your practical needs. A bathroom layout that looks great on paper might not work well in real life. Ensure that your design allows for smooth daily routines, whether it’s having enough counter space for toiletries or easy access to the shower and bathtub.
Tip: Prioritise functionality by designing spaces with sufficient storage, a well-planned layout, and features that enhance comfort and ease of use. For example, consider installing a double vanity if two people use the bathroom regularly or opt for a shower with a built-in seat for added comfort.
9. Underestimating Storage Needs
Bathroom storage is essential, but it’s often overlooked during renovations. A lack of storage can lead to clutter, which in turn can make the space feel smaller and less inviting.
Tip: Invest in clever storage solutions, such as built-in cabinets, floating shelves, or recessed niches. If space allows, consider installing a linen closet or adding cabinetry above the toilet to store towels and toiletries. Don't forget about vertical space—adding higher shelves can provide extra storage without compromising floor space.
10. Neglecting to Waterproof Properly
Waterproofing is one of the most crucial elements of a bathroom renovation. Improper waterproofing can lead to water damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. It’s essential to seal areas like shower stalls, tubs, and floors properly.
Tip: Work with professionals to ensure that your bathroom is adequately waterproofed, especially in areas exposed to water regularly. Use high-quality waterproof membranes in wet areas, and ensure proper sealing around bathtubs, showers, and sinks. Pay special attention to seams and joints to avoid future leaks.
11. Not Planning for Future Needs

Additionally, consider including smart bathroom features like touchless faucets or smart mirrors to enhance both convenience and luxury.A bathroom renovation is an exciting project, but it’s essential to avoid these common mistakes to ensure a successful outcome. From budgeting and planning to choosing the right materials and paying attention to small details, every step plays a significant role in creating a bathroom that is both functional and beautiful.

How Builders in Kochi Help You Beat the Summer Heat
As the summer season approaches, the residents of Kochi find themselves preparing for challenges of extreme heat and humidity. The city's tropical climate can make apartment living quite challenging without proper preparation. Builders in Kochi have long recognized these challenges, offering innovative design solutions that enhance comfort and energy efficiency. By making careful modifications and strategic planning, you can create a cool and refreshing environment in your flat. This guide provides practical tips to help you prepare your home for the summer season, ensuring both comfort and efficiency.
Optimize Ventilation For Better Air Circulation
Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining a comfortable temperature in your apartment. Take advantage of the abundant sunlight present during the cooler parts of the day. By opening curtains and blinds, you can allow natural light to brighten your home, thus reducing the dependence on artificial lighting and the heat it generates. To improve natural ventilation, consider opening windows and doors to create cross-ventilation. Utilize fans to effectively circulate air throughout your home. Moreover, consider the installation of exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathroom to remove excess heat and humidity.
Heat-Reducing Windows
The presence of direct sunlight can lead to a rise in indoor temperatures. To effectively block direct sunlight and reduce heat absorption, it is recommended to install blackout curtains or blinds. Choose fabrics in lighter shades that reflect heat instead of absorbing it. Applying reflective films to windows can effectively reduce heat gain. These films are capable of reducing solar heat transfer while still allowing for visibility. Moreover, motorized blinds can offer the convenience of adjusting them as needed throughout the day.
Light-Colored and Breathable Furnishings
Heavy and dark textiles are known to absorb heat, which can lead to an increase in temperature within your living area. It is advisable to replace these heavy curtains with lighter, breathable materials like cotton or linen. Selecting white or pastel colors for bed linens, cushions, and upholstery will reflect sunlight and help maintain a cooler atmosphere. Adding a few bamboo or jute rugs can also improve the overall aesthetic while reducing heat absorption.
Maximize Air Conditioning Efficiency
For those who utilize air conditioning to maintain a cool environment, it is important to ensure that your units are serviced before the season begins. Regular maintenance, including the cleaning or replacement of filters, can improve airflow and minimize energy use. For a more cost-effective cooling strategy, consider using ceiling fans in combination with your air conditioning system. Setting your thermostat to an ideal range of 24–26°C will ensure both comfort and energy efficiency. .
Adopt Green Living with Indoor Plants
Indoor plants are beneficial for both air quality improvement and naturally lowering indoor temperatures. Plants such as aloe vera and peace lilies release moisture into the air, which helps to create a cooler atmosphere. Placing these plants strategically near windows or on balconies can increase their cooling impact. Moreover, they add a lively aesthetic to your apartment's interior design.
Limit the Use of Heat-Generating Appliances
Appliances like ovens, stoves, and incandescent bulbs create unnecessary heat. It is recommended to use energy-efficient LED bulbs, which not only produce less heat but also consume less power. Consider preparing meals in the cooler hours of the day, such as early mornings or evenings, or choosing cold meals and salads during the hottest hours of the day. Replacing stove usage with a microwave can also help in reducing heat production.
Conclusion
Preparing your apartment in Kochi for the summer season does not have to be a challenging task. By following these useful suggestions, you can enjoy a comfortable and energy-efficient living space, even in the peak of summer. Kent Constructions offers some of the best flats in Kochi, specifically designed to suit the city’s tropical climate.
