			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might have old house or in some cases you get bored with how your house look, so renovation would be an ideal idea to change the look of your house. Renovation indeed required some budget, but don&#8217;t worry minimal costs could do bigger thing as well.</p>
<p>According to Yu Sin, there are four characters so that a House can be said to be a beautiful home. First, energy efficient where light is obtained naturally through natural ventilation, using locally produced materials or recycled materials, as well as cheap treatment.</p>
<p>These renovation have one goal which is made your house more beautiful than before. Beautiful is not just related to color or the shape of the building, but also related to your home design. The rest of the step should be easy such as painting your house, you could check some references in <a href="http://www.paintcity.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.paintcity.ca/</a>.</p>
<p>A design which include environment would give you lots of benefit, for example rather than using more electricity to brighten your house, use more windows for optimal lighting during day. Some green space around your house also contribute in air freshness.<br />
<span id="more-38"></span><br />
Empowering your house with technology of course its a good thing, but as long as its not consume lots of power, remember that green and eco-friendly still the best. If you like minimalist design, its also design that require minimal costs. </p>
<p>And one thing you should know that structuring the building require 40-50% of the whole budget. Especially for old house, (usually some traditional house over than 50 years) you should check your house structure. Remember that the structure of the building will last longer with good design, so its recommended to strengthen these area.</p>
<p>For a two storey structure, you could use frame structure which multiplex the cast cement coated with thin ceramic coating. This floor structure will be lighter than concrete which also resulting in less supporting steel structure.</p>
<p>The last aspect you could do to minimize the costs is by using building materials with relatively cheap prices. The quality of the material are now quite even, so you could explore it more.</p>
<p>Some other aspect you should know before renovating your house is knowing your character. A house should reflect the owner character, so design and color taking the important role. Giving the responsibilities to architect or home design consultant might not be a bad idea, you could check it in <a href="http://www.paintcity.ca/" target="_blank">http://www.paintcity.ca/</a>. Consultant are not always expensive, they could recommend you the best result with budget you have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Building a beautiful garden, meaning there are proper combination between the inside and the outside. Inside meaning indoor interior design, and outside meaning garden design. These days, garden could be push inside as well, making mini garden indoor also consider as one of design strategy to make an interactive and beautiful interior design.</p>
<p>Yet, there is one major problem for mini garden inside the room, it must be water and treat as good as it is in the outside. While in the outside environment and weather plays an important role, indoor garden require another point, which is cleaning. The cleanness of a garden is a must, while in the outside, people tends to understand if the garden just a bit dirty (because of weather effect such as rain, etc.), but indoor garden is un-compromise. If necessary, you could hire a cleaning service assistant such as <a href="http://www.cleanerschelsea.org.uk" target="_blank"><strong>cleaners chelsea</strong></a>.<br />
<span id="more-33"></span><br />
They not just giving extra treatment to your garden, but also clean your working or home area as well. A clean working atmosphere, neat, and comfortable are believed able to improve employee performance. Of course this is expected by the managers of the company, and it could be start from cleaning the room.</p>
<p>There are several things need to be consider before choosing your cleaning service assistant, such as making sure that they do have some experience and of course got some reasonable price, such as <a href="http://www.cleanerschelsea.org.uk/domestic-cleaning" target="_blank"><strong>domestic cleaning chelsea</strong></a>.<br />
Below are some things you should consider:<br />
1. Incorporated<br />
Service providers who are legal entities having particular clear rule and of course listed and approved by government, these would give you enough consideration that these providers were managed professionally. </p>
<p>2. Officially-licensed as a provider of work/cleaning services<br />
As a provider of cleaning service, cleaning service companies recruit workers to be educated as the executor of the cleaning service team. Make sure that the company got official license from the Ministry of Manpower or related department regarding cleaning services. This will help you to avoids the emergence of problems in connection with some manpower issues.</p>
<p>3. Years of experiences<br />
The longer they have been established, of course it would be more trusted, instead of that you could also see the list of their clients. With numbers of experience they should be able to solve many issues.</p>
<p>4. Employee health insurance<br />
Employees will be able to work quietly if the minimum basic needs are met such as, among others, the health insurance needs. To make sure that the cleaning service providers have noticed this that involve employees in health insurance programs available such as Social Security. This is also to prevent some strike by service provider employee, that would made direct impact to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Creating a compost is like cooking in the kitchen, with a correct mixture of the ingredients then you&#8217;re ready to go. Unlike cooking, that putting taste as the main factor, compost only need its usage, so the proportion is as you like or how you want to be.</p>
<p>Of course the positive advantages above all of it is you could manage your own garbage, instead pile up on the front of your home, you could do your own compost that useful for your garden. So what kind of garbage could be process as compost ingredients? Lets find out more about it.<br />
<span id="more-30"></span><br />
The house, and particularly the kitchen, is a major source of compost ingredients. Any green (or orange or yellow or purple) vegetable waste may go on the compost pile. Do not be put off by the tough appearance of things like grapefruit skins they will compost just as quickly as any other vegetable matter. There’s also no problem with leftover cooked vegetables.</p>
<p>Theoretically, waste meat or fish (cooked or uncooked) can also be composted, but your compost bin must be animal-proof. In practice, it’s quite hard to construct a compost bin that cannot be penetrated by a determined rat.</p>
<p>What goes in Coffee grounds; old cotton, silk, or wool clothing (torn up); eggshells; floor sweepings; hair and nail clippings; paper and cardboard; rabbit or hamster bedding; tea bags; vacuum-cleaner dust; vegetable waste; wood ash.</p>
<p>What stays out Cat or dog litter, coal ash, dairy products, disposable diapers, fish and meat waste, oil or fats.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Compost process require the emphasizes of nitrogen ratio, the C:N ratio and calcium. So what makes calcium to be important at composting process? One product of the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria is organic acids. </p>
<p>In a well aerated compost pile, these organic acids are themselves broken down in the later stages of the composting process, but if there is any shortage of oxygen, they can begin to accumulate, making the compost acidic. This is a problem because bacteria do not like acidic conditions at all.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span><br />
The pH scale measures acidity or alkalinity, and goes from 1 (very acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline). Pure water has a pH of 7 and is described as neutral. Soil pH depends on geology and climate: acidic rocks, like granite or sandstone, and high rainfall result in acidic soil; calcium-rich limestone and low rainfall lead to alkaline soil. A soil pH of 6 to 7 is ideal for most plants, but there are some specialized species that grow best on acidic or alkaline soils. Few plants thrive on soils with a pH of less than 4 or more than 8.</p>
<p>A roughly neutral pH is perfect for composting bacteria, but they are happy in alkaline conditions, up to pH 8.5. Which is why materials containing calcium are great for the pile. Acidic soil can easily be corrected by adding garden lime (ground limestone), but there is no simple way of making an alkaline soil more acidic. If your compost pile is acidic because of poor aeration, it’s far better to treat the cause rather than attempt to treat the symptoms by adding lime. However, although most green waste contains plenty of calcium, some compost materials are naturally low in calcium.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every living organism including microorganisms need water for their lives. Even for many living things water is 70% of its content.</p>
<p>So how about composting, you might guess that composting process require lots of water to speed up the process. But you&#8217;re wrong, just enough water would do the process, more water could ruin it. The bacteria and other microbes live in the film of water that covers compost particles, and most soil animals especially worms, the most important ones are very intolerant of drying out.<br />
<span id="more-26"></span><br />
So obviously the ideal compost pile needs to be at least moist. But not too moist—too much water conflicts with the need for air, and there is no faster route to a smelly, anaerobic compost pile than water logging.</p>
<p>The ideal water content for rapid composting is about 50–60 percent by weight, but knowing that isn’t very helpful, is it? In practice, this is the water content of a well-wrung sponge. How does this prescription square with the water content of typical compost materials? “Not very well” is the answer.</p>
<p>Kitchen waste and grass cuttings are at least 80 percent water, so a pile made entirely from such materials would be too wet, which would contribute to a lack of oxygen. You could solve the problem by adding drier, woody waste, shredded or otherwise, but this would slow things down too much.</p>
<p>The solution once more is paper and cardboard, which not only lowers the average water content of the pile, but also soaks up the liquid that is released as the softer materials start to decompose.</p>
