Also read the back label most will tell you if they are safe to use on stone.

Painter's tape or any other kind of tape should never be used on a wooden floor. Even though the newly-finished floor may be cured, the tape can remove the finish. To cover the wooden floor, tape the drop-cloth to the baseboards.

Should take one day if there is no problems with your subfloor.

The Bissell steam mop can be used to clean a vinyl floor. In fact it can also be used on marble, ceramic, stone, laminate, linoleum and sealed hardwood floors.

To properly remove a broken tile without damaging the surrounding tiles the following steps should be taken: * tape off the surrounding tiles to avoid scratching or damage * CAREFULLY remove the existing grout around the broken tile using a grout scraper or similar tool * using a hammer and chisel, carefully break out the object tile starting in the center * remove the old setting material, hopefully thin-set or other cementatious material, with the hammer and chisel or other heavy scraping tool. Be very careful as you approach the surrounding tiles not to damage or scratch them. This just means more tiles to remove. * after the sub-strate has been cleaned, mix a small batch of setting material according to the instructions on the package. * if using thin-set or other mortar as your setting material, always lightly moisten the floor to prevent the floor material absorbing too much miosture from the mortar leading to premature drying and a weak bond. * using a proper size square notch trowel, apply a uniform coat of mortar to the exposed floor, then carefully apply a thin coat to the back of the new slate tile using the straight edge of the trowel [ this is called "back buttering" ] * place the new tile in position and press down to remove any air bubbles and to level the new tile to the old tiles. once the new tile is level, properly space for grout line. * allow to dry or set overnight before applying new grout[ again follow the instructions on the package of grout very carefully] * after cleaning up, enjoy a job well done!

Any damage to the already finished top surface shall be avoided. At construction joints no overflow of mortal or slurry on the already hardened surface shall be allowed while concreting the intermediate slab strip. Such construction joints shall be marked with a thread in a straight line while the concrete is still green. Continuity of reinforcement shall be maintained while laying concrete in slab strips. Edges at expansion joints shall be protected and proper arrangement of shear-transfer shall be provided standards.

CONCRETE COMPACTION:

After placing concrete in position, it shall be vibrated thoroughly using poker/needle vibrators and thereafter leveled with surface vibrators to produce a homogeneous and smooth concrete surface. In order to achieve a smooth surface to the satisfaction of the Engineering-in-Charge, surface vibrators shall be very carefully used by skilled operators. Over vibration resulting in excess mortar near the surface shall be avoided.

Contractor shall arrange for core cutting and testing of finished concrete over and above other field tests. Cores shall be taken after 28 days of concreting and tested as per relevant IS Codes. Core test results shall be compared with the normal cube test results taken from the same concrete. The average compressive strength of cores shall be minimum 40% higher than that of normal cube (15cm x 15cm x 15xm) test results. Minimum three cores for each day's work in the initial stages and as decided later by the Engineer-in-Charge shall be taken. The floor shall be properly rectified after cutting the cores with concrete of same mix using the same cement as earlier used and finished smoothly to match with the existing surface. The cut surface of the floor-concrete shall be coated with proper epoxy-based bonding compound before laying concrete to avoid shrinkage cracks or, alternatively, a non-shrink compound shall be added with concrete.

PAYMENT:

This clause shall apply to Item Rate tender only.

545 tiles, as one tile is 1 sq. ft. Divide total square footage by 1.

There are 9 square feet in a square yard, so 34 divided by 9 is $3.78 a square foot.

i think it was James lamming im nott sure.

General rule is 24 hours but read the bucket.

It would depend on how many you have and how much stock needs to be removed. Consider buying a decent planer and doing it yourself. Good stock planers can be purchased for $275-$500.

Take a long piece of string or twin that you can pull tight. One person go to one corner, or side, of the room and the other opposit of them. Press the string down on the floor and the other person pull tight while pressing their end of the string on the floor. By pulling tight is should show where the floor is and isn't touching the string.

No!!!! Please don't do this. You will ruin your floor. no, never. Steam cleaners and steam mops leave to much water on a laminate floor.

Firstly check with the Water Authority/Local Authority that the drain is not a sewer shown on the map of sewers. If it is in fact a drain it should only serve one property, however. If it is no then it might be a private sewer that serves more than one property. If it only serves one property it is a drain and in this case and in the case of it being a private sewer it will need to be protected against damage from floor loads. I suggest you ask the advice of your Building Control Deapartment at your local Council as bot both protective measure and accessibility measures may be required.

There are 13.33 square yards in a 10 x 12 foot area. (13 1/3 square yards)

There are 9 square feet in a square yard.

10 x 12 = 120 square feet = 120/9 square yards = 13.33

depends on what area of the country you live in. In the southwest you can expect to pay $2.00 - $3.00 for a licensed, bonded and insured installer. Given the current state of the economy you might find it for less. But, please beware that in the end you get what you pay for. I would always recommend finding an established retailer or installation company to perform any work in your home. Answer Most times the installation is roughly the same as the cost of the material you want installed.

This completely depends on where you are and where you intend to purchase your flooring. Some places sell real oak flooring for as cheaply as 89 cents per square foot, while other flooring stores may charge you as much as $4.00 per square foot. Hardwood floors in general tend to be more expensive than other types of flooring (like tile or vinyl), with Macassar ebony tending to be the most expensive kind of hardwood flooring per square foot (often reaching $150 or more).

Oak flooring is generally considered affordable and, with a little searching, can be found for under a dollar per square foot.
