Weather conditions have always dictated materials and design of buildings. In the desert moisture resistant materials (cedar,vinyl etc..) are not as important as in a rainforest. High peak roofs (steep) are also not necessary to shed heavy rain/snow loads in the desert. Stucco siding is efficient in desert areas, but not suited for moist climates as stucco makes a good home for moss/mildew which can promote rot once it breaches the outer seal of the structure.

The average cost to build a 3200 square foot home in southern Oregon can vary depending on factors such as materials used, labor costs, and location. On average, it could cost anywhere from $200 to $250 per square foot to build a new home in that area. This would put the total cost in the range of $640,000 to $800,000.

Yes.

The native americans were stone age people when first encountered by Europeans. Different tribes had different kinds of homes: Longhouses, Wigwams, Teepees, Chickees, Adobe Houses, Igloos, Grass Houses, Wattle and Daub houses, etc.

It is reasonable to assume that stone age peoples elsewhere in the past also built homes of various types.

The Skara Brae settlement in Scotland, dating back to around 3100-2500 BC, is considered to be one of the oldest recorded houses. These stone-built houses provide valuable insights into Neolithic living conditions.

Some houses have cellars, and some don't. It depends on how it is constructed. In areas with deep topsoil, a cellar or basement is excavated and masonry walls are built on which to rest the upper part of the house. Sometimes a partial cellar (called a crawlspace) which isn't deep enough to be a usable room is built. In areas with very shallow topsoil or hard clay, the house is built on a cement foundation instead of a cellar or basement.

To make a sod house, first select a location with compacted earth. Cut sod blocks from grassy areas and stack them to form walls, leaving openings for doors and windows. Create a roof using timber beams and sod blocks, ensuring proper drainage to prevent leaks.

Inca homes were constructed from a combination of stone, mud bricks, and thatch roofs made from straw or reeds. These materials were readily available in the Andean region and provided good insulation against the cold temperatures. The stones were often cut to fit together perfectly without the need for mortar, showcasing the Inca's advanced architectural techniques.

Yes, there is a book called "Loving Frank" by Nancy Horan that focuses on Frank Lloyd Wright's relationship with Mamah Borthwick Cheney, one of his wives. It is a historical fiction novel that delves into their scandalous affair and its impact on both their lives.

advantages and disadvantages

Replacement closet doors can be found cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot. Depending on whether you need the door pre-hung or you intend to install it completely on your own, you can expect to pay at most around $60-70 for a single door or less for a simple slider.

Close the garage door.

Push the learn button on the back of the drive unit (receiver), light comes on.

Hold down button on the remote opener (transmitter) and wait until light flashes on the drive unit and then it's programmed.

I learned the hard way you cannot program a rolling code transmitter and a billion code transmitter to the same unit, what happens in this case is when you clear all the codes by holding down the learn button on the drive unit for 6+ seconds (which clears the codes), then do the programming sequence above for the remotes, (if you have 2 remotes and one is a billion and one is a rolling) only one will program at a time.

The best single source on all aspects of wood construction, preservation, coatings, maintenance and repair including laminated beam building is the nearly exhaustive, 496 page and free, "Wood Handbook, Wood as an Engineering Material" by the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Forest Products Laboratory.

Wood beams built up from smaller pieces of wood can be made in several different ways depending on the way they are intended to be used and where they are to be used.

Beams that are to be used for decorative purposes are significantly different than beams that are to be used for structural purposes. Decorative beams include those used in cabinetry, furniture and other typical woodworking projects.

Structural beams carry loads where failure of the beam means failure of the structure it is part of. The proper sizing and design of beams in structures should always be checked by a licensed engineering consultant or engineer in a city building permit department.

A major difference between decorative and structural beams is the type of fasteners or glues to be used in making them. Many popular high strength glues, like Titebond III, that are very acceptable in decorative beams, have a warning that they are not to be used for structural purposes in their fine print, "so read the fine print!" If in doubt, don't!

Another major difference between beam applications is the use environment that a beam is exposed to. Beams used outdoors or in an interior application where they might accidentally become waterlogged need glues and fasteners that can withstand extended water contact. Outdoors applications will also need glues that resist mildew and other causes of wood rot.

A trusted adhesive for structural beams with all the above properties for exterior structural applications is resorcinol glue [ one such product is DAP's two part Weldwood Resorcinol Glue ]. While sometimes hard to find locally, it can be ordered over the internet.

The next issue is the wood itself. The type of wood and the quality of the boards being laminated, the orientation of the grain in laminated boards, their dimensional accuracy and the glue selection determine the strength of a laminated beam.

Laminated structural beams create some advantages over beams made of a single piece of wood. Defects in the individual laminated pieces may have less cumulative effect on reducing the beam strength than they would in a single piece beam.

When a structural beam is made of pieces with a glue line parallel with the direction of the load, the orientation of the wood grain is going to be important. This type of beam needs lumber with vertical grain.

Where the glue lines are perpendicular to the load, flat grain lumber is needed with the bark side oriented toward the direction the load is coming from. In flat grain lumber laminations, sometimes lower quality pieces can be used for interior layers with clear, parallel grain pieces used on the top and bottom layers of a beam loaded from the top.

Structural beams, longer than the pieces of wood that they are composed of, are created using finger or scarf joints between pieces in a single layer. While finger joints are shown in the free DOA book, most finger joint router bits available to "do it yourselfers", create joints that have a significant area of end grain butted against end grain and are unacceptable. Scarf joints are the best for DIY and should be angled at a ratio of 1:6 [ thickness to length ] or greater. Do not scarf joint boards with loads parallel to the glue line without professional advice and help. Plane the mating scarf joint surfaces accurately. It is very important for beam integrity.

Glue joints, as well as all surfaces to be glued, must not be sanded before gluing. Sanding destroys the surface cell structure and radically weakens the joint. It may also be necessary to plane the surfaces just before gluing to insure that the surfaces are unaffected by weathering and drying.

Before preparing wood surfaces for gluing, the wood must be dried and any crown or hump caused during drying must, eventually, be oriented toward the beam's load [ crown upwards if the beam is being loaded from above ].

Having prepared the pieces, resorcinol glues must be used and joints cured at temperatures above 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperature is very important. The glue will also become very hard when cured and allowing cured excess to accumulate can become dangerous during later sawing or finishing, so wipe excess off before it cures.

During lamination and cure you can use fasteners or clamps to compress the glue line during cure. Sometimes the use of fasteners should be avoided because they can cause the loads on the beam to concentrate in unexpected ways. Once again an engineering consultant or engineer in the building permit department is needed.

When using the completed beam, care must also be exercised not to install it in such a way that the connection and fasteners cause loads to defeat the beam lamination's integrity. For example, fastening lag bolts into a beam so that their load is carried by only part of the beam's layers. Sometimes using metal joint reinforcements that bolt to a piece connecting to the laminated beam and that hang over the beam for fastening are advised so the load is carried by the whole beam.

An example of these issues can be found in, "Building with Glue-Laminated Beams" by Kevin Hayes. It can be found at the Extreme How-To website,

I have built many beams like this as well as a large telescope mount. I am currently building laminated beams for my house's entryway pergola.

Well commonly used is mud, concrete, and I've heard wool is also used but not sure. And for roofs straw bales is used to cover. But nowadays they can use the same materials used to build houses in any other climate.

One local place quoted me a flat rate of $500, although cheaper could probably be found

Installation of tile can cost around $4 (here anyway) a sq foot for walls and floors.. but a little more if the pattern is complex and requires a lot of cutting/extra attention like around bathtubs.

Also some tiles are harder than others, making them harder to cut... the only way to be sure is to get a few quotes from local installers.

Sod houses were built where there were no trees for logs or lumber. A typical sod house was about four meters wide by five and a half meters long. The sod house could have one room or two.

The floor is hard packed clay earth. Stack the strips of sod on top of each other like bricks for the walls. The roof is usually flat without a tilt cover the roof with poles or sticks (ice cream sticks) and pile sod on top. Use oiled paper for the windows. Put it outside and the sun will dry it into a hard clay texture.

As mentioned, wooden garage doors are as safe as any modern automatic system, since the safety depends mostly on the safety mechanisms included in every unit (safety sensors and reverse mechanism).
Safety isn’t the issue, but when it comes to durability wood is very, very high maintenance, at least in comparison to its aluminum and steel counterparts.

Ball park? About 16 pounds per foot for your 6 x 12 Douglas fir beam. We all know that Doug fir will vary in moisture content and all that. And when you try to pin a density on it, the number skates around a bit. But having seen a half dozen different cites for the density, this one works well. And it's kinda "in the middle" of the pack.

Typical base cabinets are 36 inches tall including the counter top and 24 inches deep. The counter top will overhang one inch making the whole unit 25 inches deep. The splash board will be 4 inches tall. Wall cabinets are mounted 18 inches above the base cabinets (24 inches above the stove) and are 12 - 1/4 inches deep and are 30 inches tall with a full soffit or 42 inches tall with no soffit.
