Have you ever noticed the wane on the edges of boards, where the corners are slightly rounded, reminiscent of the tree's natural shape? This is not just a detail to be overlooked. When placing these boards, ensure that the wane is facing outward. This simple orientation choice allows for a smoother edge when running an edger along the formwork, thereby preventing any frustration during the concrete finishing process. It's a small detail that makes a big difference in achieving that perfect finish.
Blow-in insulation can offer superior thermal performance. For instance, applying about 15 to 16 inches of blow-in insulation can achieve an impressive R-value of 40, providing excellent thermal resistance. An interesting tip is that many suppliers will provide the machines for blowing in the insulation at no extra cost when you purchase the material from them. For those looking to speed up the process, consider taping two hoses together to double the efficiency of the installation. This method not only speeds up the process but also allows for a more uniform distribution of insulation.
It's advisable to create a flat section around the perimeter of your shop floor, extending about four feet from the walls before any slope begins. This design consideration is particularly important for areas with drains, typically located in the center of the floor to manage moisture. By ensuring a flat perimeter, you can prevent tool chests and cabinets from having an unwanted tilt due to a sloped floor. Although the slope might be subtle, it can still pose a challenge when it comes to the stability and alignment of your storage solutions.
