The XV-15 only covers each spot once, and thus is able to clean your house much faster. To meet state and federal regulations, we created Green City, Clean Waters: a 25-year plan to reduce the volume of stormwater entering combined sewers using green infrastructure and to expand stormwater treatment capacity with traditional infrastructure improvements. “By extending it about 1.5 kilometres from Grey Lynn to Pt Erin, and building a new Herne Bay wastewater pipe to connect to it, we’ll be able to collect the area’s combined wastewater and stormwater and transport it to our Māngere Wastewater Treatment Plant. Nail another strip centered on the tread, teeth pointing in to the riser above it, 5/8 inch out from the riser. These are lethal to bugs, but for those which have developed a resistance to it, the most it could do is drive the bed bugs into hiding or to temporarily vanquish the place. We are a family-owned and operated company with a commitment to 100% customer satisfaction. In fact, there are some projects that use only one. As a beauty editor dealing with hyperpigmentation, one of the best-kept industry treatments my peers and I rely on is getting a professional chemical peel.

In the 30 years since it was created, laminate flooring has become a mainstay in the home decorating industry. ­Do you suppose trees rejoiced when Pergo came up with laminate flooring? Designed to look like wood flooring, laminate is cheaper, doesn’t need to be nailed, sanded, stained or finished, and is quite resistant to scratches, denting, fading and stains. How to Install Carpeting: Need to carpet an entire room? Repeat the entire procedure to cover each succeeding stair, always working up from the last firmly fastened riser-tread joint. Smooth the carpet firmly into place along the strip, working across with the awl until the entire end has been fastened. Sand the affected area smooth. If you’re in a one-bedroom, you may prefer to keep the bedroom for relaxing and situate your office in the living area. These innovative solutions provide accessible and convenient avenues for individuals to seek help and support, particularly in remote regions where traditional mental health services may be limited. Also, make sure your hose is long enough to wrap around the house. With a heavy scissors, cut a strip of padding to fit over each stair tread, long enough to wrap from the tread fastening strip around the tread and down about 2 or 3 inches onto the tread below it.

Use the paper pattern to cut padding for wedge-shaped stairs, and fasten the padding the same way. At the same time, as you work the kicker, push the carpet into place in the corner behind the tread fastening strip, using the wedging tool or broad-bladed chisel as a lever. Then measure in the same way from the other side of the stairs. Measure in this distance from one side of the stairway at the base of each riser and the inside of each tread; mark each of these points with chalk or pencil. Center a trimmed piece of padding, waffle-patterned side up, on each tread, with its end butted against the fastening strip at the back of the tread. On each stair, nail a strip centered on the riser, teeth pointing down, 3/4-inch above the surface of the tread below it; use a 3/4-inch-thick piece of scrap wood to hold the strip in place as you nail it. Stretch the other end of the padding out over the tread and down onto the riser below it; holding it evenly stretched, staple it into place. Pull the carpet runner into place from the bottom up, making sure that the nap or pile lies in the right direction (down) and that the carpet is positioned straight over the fastening strips and between the chalked centering marks on the stairs.

At the bottom of the tuck, as close to the riser-tread corner as possible, nail a second flat fastening strip straight across the folded carpeting, teeth pointing down. Put all your weight on one knee and bring the other knee forward sharply to hit the cushioned end of the kicker; the head of the kicker will stretch the carpeting under it to hook it onto the teeth of the fastening strip on the tread. Work from the center of the tread out to the sides, angling the kicker out toward the side you’re fastening. To install the runner on winding stairs, work up to the last straight stair and wedge the carpet into the riser-tread joint. Begin the installation by nailing fastening strips at each riser-tread corner; wear work gloves. Then bring the runner back up over the fastened-down tuck, stretch it into position with the kicker onto the next tread fastening strip, wedge the riser-tread joint, and move on to the next stair. When the carpeting has been kicked and folded into the corner all along the step, wedge it permanently into place along the riser-tread joint, using a hammer to drive the wedging tool or chisel into the carpeted joint.
