Part 1

It wasnt often a small factory in the middle of Kansas made a breakthrough that could change the world. A new growth formula for plants had been concocted by their best operators and researchers. They called it MiracleGro. It specifically targeted the female aspects of the plants causing them to grow anywhere from 5 to even 50 times it's original size depending on how much was used and how concentrated it was.

Hitomi and her team were ecstatic. They had made a strawberry plant capable of creating strawberries that were as big as someone's head or fruit trees that soared above the 5 story factory.

They were so close and so excited they just needed to figure out one little side effect for whatever reason their growth formula had the inverse reaction on any male parts of the plant. Decreasing pollen and the ability for these plants to reproduce. If they wanted to use this they would need to figure it out.

1 week went by and nothing

2 weeks and the pressure started to mount up. The world wanted to see it work. Rival companies tried to steal the formula.

And management was getting antsy for results.

Stress started to build up mistakes started to happen more often. Something was bound to go wrong. Week 3 was the worst mistake yet Gary under stress and the sound of machines whirring around failed to double check that the lines had been repressurized. Spreading a coworker with the miracleGro. Alarms went off authorities were called but it was too late in seconds thee inspector caught in the midst started to shrink and slide further into his clothes. In seconds he disappeared underneath them and was lost forever.

Gary was fired almost immediately. He begged pleaded and cried and then on his way out threatened but it was no use. Ypu just wish they had taken his threat seriously.

Week 4 day 3 Hitomi thought it was a normal day. Mixing chemicals in tablets larger than her car trying to perfect the formula. They were close they just needed time. Time that they didn't have. As the machine stopped mixing the formula they waited with baited breath for the light to turn green. Instead it illuminated red. It was no good. The sound of a liquid vacuum was heard as the facility flushed and disposed of the formula. Back to square 1. Hitomi started to walk off she needed to vent she needed a break they were so close yet so far. As she started to want she noticed the fire exit was propped open. Um guys who opened the door. She looked around but no one was willing to dress up. Removing the pack that held the door open she knew something was off but what

Suddenly a large bang was heard in the adjoining room. Like a cabinet had fallen. Then screams and shouts. Hitomi ran over as she tried to see what was happening. They the glass windrow she saw Gary a blockade formed over the door and a small fire trail being formed to which Gary was pouring a gasoline trail for right on over to the main tank of formula. Hitomi yanked and tried to solve the door open as the sound of metal and concrete dragged across the room. Gary don't do it Gary please think about what you are doing. He ignored her he looked drunk and based off the amount of unconscious people in the room he also wasnt looking to reason

Hitomi continued to try and shove the door open as an alarm was heard across the factory. All personal evacuate. All personal evacuate immediately. Flashing lights and walking alarms filled the floor as Gary took a lighter and sparked it on. Hitomi shoved her entire body into the door. The door finally pushing forward enough for her to start forcing her way in right As the emergency fire doors started to shut and close access off. Scrambling over the metal cabinetry she barely made it as the fire proof door snapped shut. But ultimately it was too late as she begged him to stop Gary dropped the lighter. It lit up in second talking over to the main tank. Hitomi finally squeezed her hips and legs thru the door as she grabbed a fire extinguisher. She tried to rush over as Gary swing a 2 by 4 at her. Hitomi dove for the floor as he blocked her path. Gary you can't do this. Just let me put it out we can talk about this. Gary swung again. Hitomi backed up tripping backwards as she fell to the floor. Panick filling her body. The alarm blasting and walked across the concrete walls and the metal roof. The sounds of people running and screaming as they tried to make it out of the building. The for spread around the room quickly. Boiling the tank from underneath as Gary pointed her to the floor. Hitomi screamed and kicked as she tried to get him off of her. But it was no use he was stronger and more determined. Her breathing was being cut spurt by the 2 by 4 that was being slowly named into her throat. She gasped for anything as she heard the rivets of the tanker start to pop off. The metal expanding and buckling as the temperature of the room skyrocketed.

More alarms sounding as critical systems started to fail. Hitomi felt herself blacking out as blood pressure to her brain was being constricted finally grasping the extinguisher as she sent it at Gary. He buckled in seconds as he collapsed without another word.

Hitomi stood up as she rushed to the panels. The button hot to the touch as the flames lapped at her body. She flipped the switches and started the formulas evacuation process trying to flush the system free as she heard the metal groan again. A couple more rivets bursting as small drops of condensation started to accumulate on the outside of the metal.

Come on COME on she muttered as her body sweat under the heat. The system at her fingertips starting to fail. Coolant offline. Pressure skyrocketing emergency backup generators cut off. Hitomi hit the emergency flush system as she heard the pipes start to rattle the tanker flushing the miracleGro out of the factory to be disposed of as she heard a hiss of heat break above her.

Hitomi dove as a splash of thick green sludge sprayed the walls above her. The tanker was bursting not all the formula had been taken out the rest of it finally exploding out. Hitomi looked up to see the pipes and other tanks started to fail as she looked at her control panel.

Her face turned gaunt white as she saw the words critical failure pop up. She heard it before she saw it. Right before the pipes left the building and dove underground the flushing system malfunctioned. The heat was too much the rest of the formula sprayed explosively against the ground and immediately vaporized against the heat of the flames. Hitomi tried to to run but before she could make it to the other room the steam enveloped and filled the entire room. She dove and broke out in to the adjoining room as the fire door flung open. Hitomi scrambled across the floor as she swung the door shut the last of the vapor trickling across the ground at her legs before dissolving harmlessly away.

Hitomi leaned across the wall as she felt the cool air finally envelop her trying to calm herself down as she struggled to breath. Her lungs felt like they were on fire. Her skin was vibrating and shivering as hitomi struggled to find energy to take herself outside of the factory to her assigned evacuation rendezvous.

As she finally caught her breath she started to stand up supporting herself against the wall. The sounds of the fire and pipes and metal breaking still heard from the other side.

Hitomi finally got up to her feet. Her body ached. She felt so sore and tired. Her body still shivering especially her legs. They couldn't even support her with how bad they wobbled. Hitomi pressed her hands against her knees trying to stabilize them as she heard a rumble shake across her entire body from within her.

Before she could blink she shot upwards with the force of a bullet. Her legs spasmed underneath her as she fell back against the wall. Her dress shrunk and shriveled on her as her shoes burst open her toes crawling out in seconds. Her body groaning and stretching her clothes as they constricted her breath.

Fuck no it's not possible I thought I got out in time this can't ...fuck

Her body violently soasmed again as she soared up another foot. Her face grimacing against the pressure as she cried out in pain. Her boobs exploded forward busting her zipper in half as her ass dragged it off her chest. Her dress feebly folding down her body and falling at her sides. Her back scratching against the concrete as she soared up to 6 ft tall. Her bra struggled against her new breasts as they lifted up and dug into her shoulders.

Fuck owww no get this off please fuck fuck FUUCKK. Hitomi surged again another Two feet. Her dress withered off into the corner as the fabric finally gave. Her hips spring her thong off as well as her bra gave out from the shoulder and back straps fluttering to the floor in seconds. Her head bobbed up crashing into the roof as she bent forward. Her head bending the metal roof up as she tried to squat down.

She was massive her boobs the size of volleyballs her hips were a foot and a half wide. Hitomi tried to get somewhere abit more suited for her but before she could even really try she grew again and again and again. Her neck and shoulders hit the roof as she fell to her knees. Her breathing filled the room as her chest bobbed higher and higher. Bulging out further and further. Her feet dragged across the floor as she fell to all 4s her head still dragging across the metal tiles and breaking them upwards. Her butt cushioning over legs as she struggled to find room. A table and cabinet full of cleaning supplies was first to succumb and burst after falling under her. Her legs pressing them into the walls and then splintering them around her. Soon her head broke thru the roof into the floor above as her legs broke down the concrete wall and dragged into the next room. Floor after floor room after room as she cried and screamed. Her body too feeble to even try to stop the onslaught.

Outside her coworkers watched as the fire started to die down the smoke dissipating as a giant green cloud of vapor rose up above them into the rainclouds above. They didn't have Long to worry about their fate as the ground under them shook. A giant cry washing over the fields as the factory started to collapse and break. Sounds of metal grinding and folding. Concrete crumbling as the ground shook again and again. Then hitomi burst thru. Her body folding out of the fourth floor. Her legs tearing down the foundation ad she rolled and collapsed. She was easily 100 ft tall or more. It was hard to tell as she failed across the ground. She shook so violently most of the bystanders fell to the ground as she grew again. Her feet digging into the soil as dragging forward. Her head approaching closer as her arms flailed outwards. Her hips crashing the rests of the building down into her. The final puffs of green vapor distributing out across the fields. The grass growing the trees groaning as they stretched taller. Even some of the evacuation groups seeing the men shrink or some of their woman to grow no assets or grow a foot or two. Their houses or factory wear breaking off.

It didn't matter though another surge sent hitomi enveloping the closets groups underneath her. The trees and grass folding under her. The wheat being smashed tk the ground as she towered above the hills.

The furthest groups accepted their fate as a final surge sent her body piledriving over them. Hitomis cries for helps serving them no use as they all fell underneath the curves of her body.

By the time it was all over a helicopter caught hitomi in her new beauty. Measuring her at an astounding 236 ft tall. However the world caught hold of anew fear. The clouds above turning a sick green as they approached the nearby towns. The rain causing all the local plants and wildlife to grow and surge taller as it approached closer and closer.

Why Cassette Air Conditioners Are the Future of Smart Commercial Cooling

As the demand for energy-efficient, space-saving, and aesthetically pleasing HVAC systems continues to grow, cassette air conditioners are quickly becoming the top choice for commercial spaces and high-end residential applications. With their ceiling-mounted design and powerful performance, these units offer a blend of practicality and innovation that traditional systems struggle to match.

🌬️ What Are Cassette AC?

Cassette air conditioners are split systems where the indoor unit is embedded in the ceiling, leaving only the sleek panel visible. These units deliver conditioned air in four directions simultaneously, ensuring uniform temperature distribution throughout the space. They’re especially useful in rooms with limited wall space or where aesthetics matter—like offices, showrooms, and restaurants.

💡 Top Benefits of Cassette ACs

1. 360-Degree Airflow

Thanks to multi-directional vents, cassette ACs distribute cool or warm air evenly. No more hot corners or uneven temperatures—everyone in the room enjoys the same comfort.

2. Space-Saving Design

Mounted flush with the ceiling, cassette units keep your walls and floors clear. This makes them ideal for open-plan layouts or spaces with glass walls.

3. Quiet Operation

Despite their powerful performance, cassette air conditioners are surprisingly quiet. Most models include low-noise fan motors, making them perfect for boardrooms or reception areas where noise disruption must be minimal.

4. Energy Efficiency

Modern cassette units often feature inverter technology, optimizing energy usage by adjusting compressor speed to match real-time cooling demand. Some even offer occupancy sensors and programmable timers.

5. Flexible Control Options

From remote controls and wired wall thermostats to mobile app integration, cassette ACs provide versatile control tailored to user convenience.

🏢 Where Are Cassette ACs Most Useful?

Corporate Offices

Retail Outlets & Malls

Restaurants & Cafés

Conference Rooms

Medical Clinics

Hotels & Resorts

🔍 Things to Consider Before Installation

False Ceiling Space: Cassette ACs require adequate ceiling depth for installation. Pre-check the available cavity space.

Drainage Planning: These units need a reliable drainage system for condensation.

Professional Installation: Improper installation can affect performance. Always use certified HVAC technicians.

🔧 Final Thoughts

Cassette air conditioners are more than just a cooling solution—they are a statement of efficiency and style. Their clean ceiling integration, even airflow, and smart features make them a go-to choice for modern commercial interiors. As energy regulations become stricter and workplace comfort becomes a priority, cassette ACs are perfectly positioned to meet future demands.

The Best Floor Vents for Hardwood, Tile, and Carpet Flooring

Wood floor grates play a crucial role in maintaining airflow while complementing the aesthetics of your space. Whether you have hardwood, tile, or carpet flooring, choosing the right floor vents ensures efficient air circulation, durability, and a seamless look. In this guide, we’ll explore the best floor vent options for different flooring types and what to consider when selecting one.

1. Best Floor Vents for Hardwood Flooring

Hardwood floors demand vents that blend with their natural beauty while offering strength and longevity. Some top choices include:

Wooden Flush Mount Vents: These vents sit level with the floor, creating a smooth, cohesive appearance. They’re ideal for new hardwood installations.

Self-Rimming Wood Vents: Designed for retrofit applications, these vents have a raised edge that rests on top of the floor, making installation easy.

Metal Floor Registers: If you prefer a contrast, decorative cast iron or aluminum grates provide an elegant touch while ensuring durability.

2. Best Floor Vents for Tile Flooring

Tile flooring requires vents that can withstand moisture, heavy foot traffic, and potential chipping. The best options include:

Metal Vents with a Powder-Coated Finish: These resist rust and blend well with tile patterns.

Stone or Tile-Integrated Vents: Custom-made vents that use the same tile material for a seamless finish.

Adjustable Airflow Registers: These allow control over the amount of air flowing through, ensuring comfort in tiled areas like kitchens and bathrooms.

3. Best Floor Vents for Carpet Flooring

For carpeted floors, vents should fit securely without shifting or sinking into the padding. Ideal options include:

Drop-In Floor Registers: These sit on top of the carpet and are easy to install or replace.

Flush Mount Vents with Frames: Installed before carpeting, these provide a smooth transition while maintaining airflow.

Plastic or Rubberized Registers: Lightweight and flexible, they stay in place and prevent damage to the carpet.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing Floor Vents

Material: Wood, metal, and plastic each offer different levels of durability and aesthetics.

Size and Fit: Ensure the vent matches your duct opening for proper airflow.

Design: Choose a style that complements your flooring and home decor.

Functionality: Adjustable dampers provide control over air circulation.

Conclusion

Selecting the right floor vents enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of your flooring. Whether you need a seamless wood vent for hardwood, a sturdy metal register for tile, or a secure drop-in vent for carpet, the right choice will ensure proper airflow and a stylish finish.

Tankless water heater

Are you tired of running out of hot water in the middle of a shower? It's time to consider upgrading to a tankless water heater. Unlike traditional water heaters that store and heat a limited amount of water, tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, ensuring you never have to endure another cold shower. In this article, we'll explore the benefits, installation process, and maintenance tips for tankless water heaters.

Tankless Water Heater: Enjoy Endless Hot Water

Tankless water heaters have gained popularity due to their ability to provide endless hot water and their energy-efficient operation. Let's dive into the details of why a tankless water heater is a wise choice for your home:

1. Energy Efficiency: Saving Money and the Environment

One of the significant advantages of tankless water heaters is their energy efficiency. Unlike traditional water heaters that constantly heat and store water in a tank, tankless models only heat water as it is needed. This "on-demand" approach eliminates standby heat loss and can result in significant energy savings. By switching to a tankless water heater, you can reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills while minimizing your carbon footprint.

2. Endless Hot Water: No More Cold Showers

Say goodbye to the frustration of running out of hot water. With a tankless water heater, you'll have a continuous supply of hot water whenever you need it. Tankless units heat water as it flows through the system, providing instant hot water on demand. Whether you have multiple showers running simultaneously or need hot water for your dishwasher and washing machine, a tankless water heater can handle the load and ensure everyone in your household enjoys a hot shower.

3. Space-Saving Design: Utilize Every Inch

Traditional water heaters with storage tanks can take up a significant amount of space in your home, whether it's a basement, utility room, or closet. Tankless water heaters, on the other hand, have a compact and wall-mounted design, freeing up valuable floor space. Their sleek and modern appearance makes them ideal for smaller homes, apartments, or any space where maximizing square footage is essential.

4. Installation Process: Professional or DIY?

When it comes to installing a tankless water heater, you have two options: hire a professional or tackle the project yourself if you have the necessary skills and knowledge. It's important to note that proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your tankless water heater. If you choose the DIY route, make sure to thoroughly read the manufacturer's instructions and follow all safety guidelines. Otherwise, it's recommended to hire a licensed plumber or a professional installer to ensure the job is done correctly.

5. Maintenance Tips: Prolonging the Lifespan

To keep your tankless water heater running smoothly and extend its lifespan, regular maintenance is essential. Here are a few tips to help you maintain your tankless water heater:

Flush the System: Over time, minerals and sediment can build up in the heat exchanger, affecting performance. Flushing the system annually or as recommended by the manufacturer helps remove these deposits and maintain efficiency.

Check the Venting: Ensure that the venting system is clear and free of obstructions. Blocked vents can lead to improper operation and potential safety hazards.

The flush mount installation is what sets them apart. Level with your flooring, these vents create a smooth, trip-free surface that not only improves safety but also adds a touch of modern sophistication to your layout.

Whether your aesthetic leans toward minimalist, transitional, rustic, or contemporary, these vents adapt beautifully to your design while maintaining a low visual profile.

Finishes That Match Your Style

With a variety of finish options—including matte black, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and stainless steel—metal floor grilles make it easy to coordinate with your existing hardware, lighting, and fixtures. Some models even feature adjustable dampers for customizable airflow, adding practical function to refined design.

Built to Handle Life—Stylishly

Beyond looks, metal vents are made to perform. They’re moisture-resistant, odor-resistant, and incredibly easy to maintain—perfect for high-humidity areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. A quick wipe is all it takes to keep them looking their best, day after day.

The Final Touch That Makes All the Difference

In new builds and renovations alike, flush mount metal floor vents are a small detail with a surprisingly big impact. They bring together beauty, durability, and seamless design in one smart upgrade—helping your home feel more polished, intentional, and complete.

Installation of a toilet with high flush

The concrete floor needs to be broken up and drain pipes installed, then new concrete needs to be poured.

An upward flush makes the job much easier. Instead of using gravity to empty, an up-flush toilet has a high-powered pump that is activated by a float and a switch. When the bottom of the tank fills, the pump turns on and pushes wastewater up through the 5-cm drain. A 7.5 cm drain is required. Make sure the vent and drain meet local plumbing codes.

Some upspouts, especially those installed in the 1970s and 1980s, were unreliable and required frequent repairs. Newer equipment is more reliable. Check with a plumbing contractor about the track record of the model you are considering. Make sure the unit's pump is powerful enough to move wastewater the required distance to the home's drain.

Check depth

Before you decide on a model and begin installation, determine what type of flush toilet you need based on the distance to the sewer line. A full-flush toilet makes sense if the bathroom is far below the sewer line or if the pipes have to travel a long distance before connecting to the main sewer line.

Installation of the support flange

Prepare the unit for the toilet by attaching the iron support flange. Make sure the mounting bolts for the toilet are in the correct locations and are long enough to mount the toilet.

Install the pump

Install the float switch. Install the discharge line. Place the pump in the tank and install the float switch. Make sure the pump is working before closing the unit. Connect a garden hose to a water line and feed it into the flange opening.

Drain additional water

Connect the drain to a drain pipe leading to a bucket or floor drain. Tape the temporary drain pipe connections - the pump works powerfully. Plug the unit into a GFCI outlet. Slowly fill the tank with water. The pump should turn on and discharge water when it reaches the proper level.

Install the vent pipe

Insert the rubber flange provided and insert the 7.5 cm PVC vent pipe into the unit. Route the vent to the main chimney. Make sure that the vent and the drain are arranged according to the regulations.

Written in the Tea Leaves

Hey Katelyn! I was your MLB Secret Santa, Merry Christmas! You said Lukanette was your favourite so I hope you like this little meet cute ficlet; I tried to pick two complementary cute AU's for this fluff piece so i hope you like it!

AO3

Despite the lack of sleep and her usual hatred for mornings Marinette had woken up long before sunrise today, her mind caught up in the opening of her and Alya’s very own Tattoo shop, their dream come true after years of hard work. She’d attempt to plan her outfit out the night before but with hours to kill in the morning she’d gotten changed a further six times, her nerves and excitement refusing to let her sit still. In the end she settled on a lacy dusky pink sundress that was both her favourite colour and still flashy enough to show off the art she wore on her own skin proudly.

And Marinette was no stranger to Ink, her fingers itched daily to add to the scrawling elegant display of watercolour flowers that spiralled both her arms and nearly met across her shoulder blades and collar bones. It was getting to the point where she struggled to add to the piece herself, instead bothering Alya to copy out her designs onto skin; Alya who was almost as talented with ink, though she preferred to stab people with jewellery usually.

The most recent addition to Marinette’s piece had been three small gold washed marigolds across her shoulder blade, to represent her and Alya’s creative dream coming true, every single one of the flowers she wore held a meaning of some kind, literally wearing her heart on her sleeves for all to see.

With the healing process finally over and the urge to show off her skill for the opening Marinette decided she was brave enough to skip the coat and bare the brisk spring air, after all it looked warm enough with the rising sun and it would be a shame to cover up the art she wanted to show off. With her heart still fluttering somewhere rapidly in her throat in excitement she decided she couldn’t wait any longer to get into the shop and so for the first time in forever she set off from her apartment ridiculously early, Alya would be pleased.

In her unrestrained glee Marinette had failed to notice the sky darkening or even the air growing cold as she practically skipped down the cobbled streets to their shop. When the rain finally broke overhead the squeal that ripped from her throat was genuine shock and despite trying to keep under shop awnings she was truly and unsurprisingly soaked, hair plastered to her face within minutes and her whole form violently shivering as she dripped.

Sheltering herself against the side of the building Marinette found herself cursing her luck and scowling down at the ‘lucky’ ladybug tattooed on the outside of her wrist, as if it was going to give her a solution; she was only about half way between home and the shop and in either direction laid more rain. In the end Marinette made the split-second decision to duck into the only open looking coffee shop on the corner, the lights glowing warmly through the window into the rainy gloom. Sure she wasn’t far from the safety of her own shop but the hottest tea she could stand sounded like a good pay off to her rain soaked self and maybe she could even miss the rest of the downpour safely inside, it wasn’t like she was running late.

Feeling a little more hopeful Marinette dashed back out into the rain and darted through the coffee shop door blindly, water dripping in her eyes as the bell chimed above her. As soon as the door shut and the warmth hit her and she stilled leaning back on her heels just slightly as her shivers subsided and her eyes slid closed happily, rubbing her arms a little for warmth as she adjusted.

“You’re dripping on my floor.” came an amused voice from her left, startling her eyes open.

Marinette immediately rushed to apologise, hands fluttering and her whole face turning scarlet but before she could mumble the words aloud a soft towel was being pushed into her hands, stilling them.

“It’s clean, dry yourself off and go sit by the guitars, it’s where the heating vents are.” He winked at her like sharing a secret before turning back to head towards the counter. “I’ll bring you something warm; tea?”

The unbelievably flustered Marinette just nodded in response, eyes wide and face burning but he at least seemed amused by her speechlessness, smiling as he left.

Despite still dripping with rainwater her brain failed to jump into action, instead allowing her eyes to follow the baristas retreating form unbidden, the teal tips of his locks reflecting in the lights and the muscles under his black button up flexing casually as he moved. ‘He’s Cute’ was the first thing to flash forward followed in the empty silence of her thoughts followed rapidly by ‘I look like a took a swim in the Seine! Argh!’

Finally kicked into action she immediately began towelling the rainwater off her face and shoulders before gently rubbing her hair, careful to try and make herself as presentable as possible by pulling her fingers through the now wavy damp locks. She eventually remembered to move from the door, eyes darting back to the Barista as she walked, this time watching as he selected tea leaves from a variety of jars on the counter adding them to a glass teapot. She was pretty sure could hear him humming as he worked which caused her lips to twitch into a small involuntary smile.

For a beat she hovered next to the table unsure if she wanted to get the comfy looking fabric seats all wet but when she next glanced up she could see the barista’s dimpled smile sent her way across the counter and as their eyes finally met her suddenly weak knees decided she needed the seat after all. So Marinette perched gingerly on the edge of the chair, fingers worrying in the damp fabric of her skirt as she waited, the returning smile on her lips refusing to be squashed by her embarrassment even if she couldn’t quite look his way again.

She instead cast her eyes about the café quickly catching on to the musical theme as she spotted all sorts of instruments mounted to the walls, not just the guitars she was sat near. There was even the odd album poster dotted around and she couldn’t help but smile as she spotted her own Jagged Stone cover amongst the rest; Uncle Jagged had like the design so much he’d let her tattoo it on his arm years later and she wondered idly if the barista was a Jagged fan, maybe she could ask him, If she could find her words again.

Marinette was startled out of her thoughts by a polite clearing of a throat. The Barista and his warm eyes were back, and he was baring a steaming teapot that smelled divine.

“I thought you might like-“ he began,

“I’m sorry about your-” she clattered over him.

His easy smile as he gestured for her to go first calmed the pulse ringing in her ears and Marinette found herself able to meet his lovely teal eyes as she spoke her own soft smile blooming in response.

“I’m sorry about the floor and thank you.” she finally breathed, relieved.

“It’s no problem, we’re not really open yet but you looked cold and a just little damp, so I thought I’d offer you a place to warm up.” He spoke lightly with just a hint of friendly teasing as he placed a musical note patterned mug before her.

“I really appreciate it, thank you! I, um, well I wasn’t quite prepared for the weather.” She admitted. And whilst Marinette had meant to be witty or charming, to try hard and make a good impression something about him put her instantly at ease; happy to just be herself for once, exactly as she was, even if that was a little bashful.

It seemed to be the right move as he grew flushed by her sincere thanks a small blush spreading across his cheeks as his eyes dropped from hers. In fact, Marinette got the distinct impression he’d rub his neck in shyness if his hands weren’t full of teapot, the thought alone caused a warmth to grow in the pit of her stomach; he was as adorable as he was kind.

“I thought this would suit you, jasmine and sakura blossom with curl of apple.” He nodded his chin to the leaves and fruit floating clear teapot before reaching across the table to pour, unintentionally causing his long sleeves to ride up baring the edge of a tattoo to her.

Like a predator spotting pray Marinette instantly zoned in on the tattoo, her bashfulness vanishing in curiosity, her hands reaching forward without thought to push the sleeve further up baring the beautiful design. It was some sort of snake surrounded by fresh tea leaves and music notes, the colours greyscale but with a watercolour wash of blue and teal; very much like her own preferred style.

“Oh! its beautiful.” She gasped delightedly, gently lifting his hand off the lid of the tea pot so she could turn his arm to view it better, revealing a burn scar running through the back of the design.

“I could fix this!” she blurted out, eyes darting across his skin mentally designing and recreating the piece with new details to cover the scar.

In the responding silence she finally glanced up to meet his startled but soft gaze when she remembered they were practically strangers; she didn’t even know his name and she’d gotten carried away again! Quickly releasing his arm, she sat back, linking her fingers together to stop the fidgeting as she turned slowly scarlet from head to toe her eyes fixed somewhere around his chin, no longer brave enough to meet his eyes.

“I’m so sorry, that was so rude! I’m a tattoo artist and I get carried away and I shouldn’t have and–“

He cut her off with the scrape of the chair next to her as he took a seat, carefully arranging the music note patterned apron on his knee, as if giving her a chance to breathe before ducking slightly to try and gently catch her gaze.

“It’s okay but maybe we should start again properly. I’m Luka.”

His voice was so warm, like honey, that it took her a moment to realise he was offering his hand to shake; her daintier hand engulfed by his as she finally reached out and shook. She forced herself to untense and to meet his eyes with a smile despite the tingles in her fingertips of the hand he still held.

“I’m um, I’m Ma-Ma-Marinette! Pleased to meet you!” she stumbled the moment his eyes connected with hers, really at 26 she ought to be better at this, but Luka just chuckled softly squeezing her fingers but seemingly in no rush to let go either.

“Well Ma-Ma-Marinette, let’s talk about these tattoos...”

And they did her mouth spiralling out of control as her nerves calmed when supplied with a topic she loved, quickly explaining her skill and style before expressing exactly how she’d like to cover the scar in his design, absently tracing her plans with her fingertips on his skin. Luka in turn explained exactly how the scar came to be and how he ended up trading in music and fancy tea leaves, before shifting closer and gently touching the flowers across her arms, quizzing her on the meaning behind the art and how she’d come to be an artist in ink.

In the end he ended up getting down his favourite guitar off the wall and playing her some pieces for inspiration as she rapidly sketched out his new tattoo design on a napkin in biro; she couldn’t wait for a sketch book not when the idea was so perfect.

Before they knew it, hours had passed, the sun was breaking through the clouds and Marinette was getting a frantic call from Alya about being late to opening day as Luka realised that he should have opened the store front an hour ago. There wasn’t time for awkward lingering goodbyes, Marinette instead throwing her arms around the taller boy in a soft slightly to long hug before she was dashing out of his arms and running out of the door, wearing his borrowed jacket. A jacket that she’d later find a hastily hidden note baring his number in the pocket of.

So, when Marinette happened to get a craving for tea the next morning and returned his jacket with the pocket now hiding a preliminary sketch of his new design and her own number neatly in the corner it was only natural. As it was when she was invited back day after day, after all it was on her way and they had design to settle on.

Nearly a month later when that design was finally on his arm but now also baring greyscale sakura blossoms amongst the scattered tea leaves, it seemed almost logical for matching tea leaves to appear on Marinette’s design in return too, it was such an aesthetic combination after all.

And months after that when a beaming Marinette moved into the flat above his cosy tea shop to live with an overjoyed Luka no one even blinked, it seemed some people’s fate were written in the tea leaves after all.

Critical Information On Garage Door Repair Vs Replacement

Most doors are opened and closed at least twice a day. Over 5 to 10 years that is thousands of times up and down. Tracks can get out of line. The door will get dents or take on damaged. The springs supporting the door can break. The electric opener may start to malfunction or stop working. Then you need to look at garage door repair vs replacement.

In some locations, garage door replacement may require a permit from your city or county. That is because improper installation may result in serious injury. Some locations may require a professional who is licensed with the state. Check your building department in your location to be sure.

There are two main types, solid doors made of one piece and those made of four or five sections. Both types may have insulation. Check your door to see if it has an open back exposed to the garage. If it does then this is not insulated.

Other difference include having glass windows on the top portion of the panel or the next to the top panel if you have a multi-section type. Both types may have vents on both sides of the lower panel near the floor. In general the sectioned type is easier to repair. Remove the damaged section and replace.

One problem with sectioned types and replacing one or more sections is finding an exact duplicate. If your model is out of date, or no longer in production you might have to buy a whole new apparatus.

If your tracking is out of line you might be able to tighten bolts holding it. If it was installed professionally, this could resolve any problems. If the track is still out of line, there may be dents or the metal bent some where along the track. If the track is obviously bent they need to be replaced to assure smooth and safe operation.

The mechanism that opens and close the door sometimes needs adjustment. Adjustments on the opener mechanism may be all that is required to make the car portal open and close correctly. You should consult the owners manual. Sometimes you can download the manual from the manufacturer's website. If an adjustment doesn't work the mechanism may need to be replaced. Replacement is not trivial. You may need to use a trained professional who has the proper know how and tools to install.

If the springs are worn or broken, this can pull the whole portal out of alignment. Single panel portals have two heavy springs on either side. Sectioned portals have a spring coiled around a bar or pipe at the top. They can be dangerous and difficult to replace. Consider contacting a professional.

Let us consider options for garage door repair vs replacement. For replacement there are local companies that will price installation with purchase. Otherwise you need to assess what you are currently dealing with. If you have only one or two problems, say one panel is dented and the track is loose, repair is an easy course to take. If the number of problems is over say three, as a rule of thumb, replacement is a better option. Remember these are heavy, powered devices. Talking to a professional before deciding is a wise course.

Tips for Shower Tempered Glass Door Design & Construction

Shower Door SwingWhen planning your shower design, keep in mind that Building Code Requirement IRC P 2708.1 (2000 edition) states that all hinged shower doors must open outwards. Hinged shower doors that swing inwards only are not permitted by code.There are reasons this code is in place. The shower enclosure must permit unobstructed access to a showering person in case of a fall.However, your shower door can open in both directions, outward-opening and inward-swinging. You'll need about 30" of clearance space outside your shower to install a swinging shower door.If your bathroom is not configured for a shower door, consider choosing a sliding shower door. Your other alternatives include double sliding doors, which come either semi-frameless or framed, and a shower screen which leaves ample clearance space in case of an emergency.Curb Tops

Keep in mind that solid pieces of tile, marble or granite are best for the top of a curb. Tiled curb tops increase the likelihood of leakage and encourage the growth of mold or mildew because water collects in grout joints on horizontal tiles. The shower door seal functions best on a smooth surface.

Glass Tiles Avoid mounting door hinges and glass clips onto glass tiles, as breakage is likely to occur during and even after installation. This can result in delays in getting the project finished and additional charges from the tile installers for repairs.Minimum Width of Glass PanelsWhen designing your shower enclosure, keep in mind that each glass panel needs to be at least 4 1/2" wide, which is the minimum width for tempering glass and supporting the hardware. Also, the door will need to be a minimum of 22" wide and no more than 36" wide.Plumb WallsWalls which meet a door or glass panel need to be completely vertical, or "plumb", in order to prevent gaps, uneven joints, and hinge "bind". This means the wall can't lean in any direction, or be "bowed" or "bellied". Any walls that are more than 1/4" out of plumb make it very difficult to install a shower properly because they cause unsightly gaps, are more likely to leak, and have a greater likelihood of hinge bind. We can work with walls that are less than 1/4" out of plumb.When one of our technicians comes out measure your bathroom shower, he'll use a six-foot level to test your bathroom walls and floor (and ceiling for airtight enclosures).About 75 percent of the homes we work in do not have perfectly straight walls, so this is a common problem that we're very good at handling. For less than 1/4" out of plumb walls, we will cut the glass so it will lie flush against your wall.Slope of Shower SeatDesign a built-in shower seat to slant toward the drain at a 5-degree (approx. 3/16" to 1/4") slope so water flows off the seat and into the drain. (Water will stand on a level seat or pool in a seat with a backward angle.)Slope of CurbThe curb or lip around the bottom of the shower should to be slanted inward at a 5-degree (approx. 3/16" to 1/4") "pitch" or slope so water flows in toward the drain. (A level curb would cause the water to stand, while a curb angled away from the drain would cause water to leak onto the bathroom floor.)17 Tips for Designing Your New Shower Enclosure. These handy pointers help ensure low-stress, cost effective installation.

Congratulations on your decision to update your bathroom with a frameless glass shower enclosure! Your new enclosure is sure to add beauty to your bath and value to your home.

We know that any remodeling project can seem a bit daunting, so we've put together some pointers for making the planning process easier and ensuring the installation process goes as quickly and smoothly as possible. Before we even arrive at your home, our handy tips will help you:

Choose the best spot to install your new shower

Pick the right layout for your new shower

Ensure a watertight, properly installed shower

Keep costs to a minimum

Many of our tips are just good advice – if you have certain spacing or remodeling constraints, we may be able to work with you to find a solution. Just ask!

Angles to Use

Plan for your shower to be built using 90°, 135°, or 180° angles. Most shower hardware is designed to accommodate these angles, so planning your shower with this in mind ensures a more cost-effective installation and a properly functioning enclosure.

Support For Shower Doors and Hardware

Be sure the wall on which you would like to install a hinged shower door has proper studding behind it (double 2x4 is best, though single 2x4 is acceptable). Always provide wood studs or blocking where doors hinge or panels are anchored, especially when metal studs were used in the original construction of the wall.

Shower Curb

Decide whether to install your shower enclosure on a curb or to have it flush with the floor. While eliminating the curb is beneficial when planning a handicap accessible shower enclosure, keep in mind that a properly constructed curb helps prevent water from leaking or pooling onto the bathroom floor.

Slope of Curb

The curb or lip around the bottom of the shower should to be slanted inward at a 5-degree (approx. 3/16" to 1/4") "pitch" or slope so water flows in toward the drain. (A level curb would cause the water to stand, while a curb angled away from the drain would cause water to leak onto the bathroom floor.)

Slope of Shower Seat

Design a built-in shower seat to slant toward the drain at a 5-degree (approx. 3/16" to 1/4") slope so water flows off the seat and into the drain. (Water will stand on a level seat or pool in a seat with a backward angle.)

Plumb Walls

Walls which meet a door or glass panel need to be completely vertical, or "plumb", in order to prevent gaps, uneven joints, and hinge "bind". This means the wall can't lean in any direction, or be "bowed" or "bellied". Any walls that are more than 1/4" out of plumb make it very difficult to install a shower properly because they cause unsightly gaps, are more likely to leak, and have a greater likelihood of hinge bind. We can work with walls that are less than 1/4" out of plumb.

When one of our technicians comes out measure your bathroom shower, he'll use a six-foot level to test your bathroom walls and floor (and ceiling for airtight enclosures).

About 75 percent of the homes we work in do not have perfectly straight walls, so this is a common problem that we're very good at handling. For less than 1/4" out of plumb walls, we will cut the glass so it will lie flush against your wall.

Minimum Width of Glass Panels

When designing your shower enclosure, keep in mind that each glass panel needs to be at least 4 1/2" wide, which is the minimum width for tempering glass and supporting the hardware. Also, the door will need to be a minimum of 22" wide and no more than 36" wide.

Glass Tiles

Avoid mounting door hinges and glass clips onto glass tiles, as breakage is likely to occur during and even after installation. This can result in delays in getting the project finished and additional charges from the tile installers for repairs.

Soffits

The "soffits" or eaves along the top of the shower enclosure must line up perfectly with the angles in the curb below in order to avoid an uneven look.

Shower Head Position

To minimize leakage, position showerheads toward tiled walls or fixed panels. Showerheads should never be positioned opposite a door or other opening. (Exceptions may be made for smaller or low-flow showerheads or showerheads that point straight down at the floor.)

Raised Tiles and Overhangs

Shower doors should be installed in such a way that nothing interferes with their movement and there are no gaps between the door and the wall. Environments that interfere with door movement are raised decorative tiles and overhanging tiles, and granite or marble slabs atop a shower seat or buttress wall. The tile or granite can be modified to allow for door operation, but a filler might need to be applied, negatively impacting the look of the finished product.

A better solution is to include a fixed panel in your design. That way, the door can align with the panel on one side, opening and closing properly with no interference. On the other side, the tile can be notched to allow the panel to line up flush against the wall.

Curb Tops

Keep in mind that solid pieces of tile, marble or granite are best for the top of a curb. Tiled curb tops increase the likelihood of leakage and encourage the growth of mold or mildew because water collects in grout joints on horizontal tiles. The shower door seal functions best on a smooth surface.

Pipes and Wiring

Never run plumbing pipe or electrical wiring through walls or studs where an anchoring screw for the shower enclosure hardware might puncture it.

Knee Walls

When designing an enclosure that has a buttress or "knee" wall, plan on including an in-line panel into your design. That way, you can modify the fixed panel to accommodate the buttress wall instead of trying to modify the door.

Shower Door Swing

When planning your shower design, keep in mind that Building Code Requirement IRC P 2708.1 (2000 edition) states that all hinged shower doors must open outwards. Hinged shower doors that swing inwards only are not permitted by code.

There are reasons this code is in place. The shower enclosure must permit unobstructed access to a showering person in case of a fall.

However, your shower door can open in both directions, outward-opening and inward-swinging. You'll need about 30" of clearance space outside your shower to install a swinging shower door.

If your bathroom is not configured for a shower door, consider choosing a sliding shower door. Your other alternatives include double sliding doors, which come either semi-frameless or framed, and a shower screen which leaves ample clearance space in case of an emergency.

Transoms

A glass transom is located above a frameless glass shower door. It can be fixed or movable. There are several reasons to use a glass transom:

Venting steam showers: Steam showers must run floor-to-ceiling for an airtight construction so steam can accumulate. Instead of bringing the door all the way to the ceiling, most steam showers are designed with movable transoms above the door. The glass transom then acts like a vent and can be tilted open to release hot steam or kept close to keep the steam in. You'll want to make sure you have a tile ceiling rather than drywall for this application.

Stabilizing tall floor-to-ceiling showers: Homeowners who want a floor-to-ceiling frameless shower may need a glass transom in their design. The need depends on ceiling height and weight limit of the shower door.

Installing pivot doors: Pivot doors that don't run floor-to-ceiling can mount to a header or a glass transom. Homeowners who would like to avoid the framed look of a header may find a solution by revising their design to incorporate a glass transom. We will help you get the best shower configuration for the look you want.

You'll want to make sure the door won't be hampered by anything installed on the ceiling when it swings open. If an exhaust fan, vent or light fixture is placed in the path of the swinging door, a transom may be required to give the door clearance.

Neo Angle Shower

If your neo angle shower enclosure includes a "knee" wall or wall, make sure that the shower door meets the structure at a 90 degree angle to accommodate the requirements of the hinges. This is not a restriction when glass meets glass at the 135 degree angle.
