Staining cinder blocks12/15/2023 ![]() Concrete Contractors Albuquerque can give you ideas for Albuquerque concrete block applications, and do the work safely and efficiently to get your concrete block up and ready for the next step of your project. There are even blocks now made to resemble brick and or with quarried stone facings, a look that is far less cost for materials and much faster and less expensive to build. Once installed correctly, block can be stained, painted, covered with an exterior cladding, or stucco applied to nice effect. This led the potential buyer to a local block company for advice, and. Block must be able to safely tolerate wind loads, seismic activity, and vibration from streets, railroad tracks, building vibration and Uncle Vinny’s headers without cracking the grout lines. On this week's Technique of the Week, Jason shows you how to stain vertical concreteSMITHS STAINS. I tend to carry a spray can of polycell stain block for occasional water stains. Oil-based undercoat usually does the trick when blocking stains is time isn’t an issue. It is important to reinforce it and stagger it for the correct build, though, so the block increases tensile strength over a span. Crown PX4 is the best paint to block and cover a stain1 hour, job done. We give free quotes and fast service, and can have your block up in no time.Ĭoncrete block Albuquerque uses extensively because it is a durable and cost effective building material, especially for walls and fences. Leave block work to a concrete pro, Concrete Contractors Albuquerque. ![]() ![]() A lot of knowledge goes into building a concrete block wall that is safe, stays in place, does not crack, settle, or shift, and most of all, does not fall. Those hollows are also used for steel rod reinforcement of the block to improve strength of a wall. Hollows in blocks lighten the load and allow insulation as well as an air dam. Did you know each “cone” or hollow in a concrete block is tapered? The narrow end goes up, to provide more surface area for the mortar. Some companies suggest using gel concrete acid stain when staining a concrete wall or try to sell a specific retaining wall stain, but we find that standard. These low-density blocks differ from sand and fine gravel high-density blocks not only in weight, but tensile strength. Just as stain brings out the grain in wood, it will magnify any imperfection, grit, grime, or discoloration. Concrete blocks, also known as cinder, breeze, clinker, construction, and hollow block depending on the part of the country you’re from, are Portland cement, water and an aggregate – often fly ash or cinder, or recycled materials. Step 1 - Clean Before any stain is applied, the concrete wall must be thoroughly cleaned. Apply the stain to the landscape blocks with the paintbrush. Note the number of coats as this will serve as a benchmark for staining the blocks. Allow the test area to dry, and add additional coats of stain to achieve the desired darkness. A lot more goes into a concrete block wall, fence, divider, or structure than stacking up the block. Apply the stain to an inconspicuous area on the block that will not be seen when the block is installed.

Tv tuner boxes12/15/2023 ![]() I see custom firmware for almost every router out there. I know it’s not easy to replace or extend the existing firmware on these boxes to add drivers for USB WiFi and the media center (Kodi?) features. So … theoretically at least, it should be possible to add both WiFi and a bit of extra storage (to carry extra software) using one of the USB dongles that contain both WiFi and some storage (Search for Xiaomi Mi Wifi USB dongle with 8gb storage). The only thing these $30 digital tuner boxes lack is networking (and the software). I mean I thought that there will be at least A FEW media center boxes with ATSC tuner built-in. I don’t see the reason for this dichotomy. And then set-top media center boxes with online streaming capabilities are selling separately for $50 to $100. I see that digital TV converter boxes with ATSC tuner and HDMI output are selling for around $30. ![]() Posted in home entertainment hacks Tagged converter, digital television, dtv, hdtv, reverse engineering, tuner Post navigation This includes a dump of the bootloader, readout of the IR codes, and much more. He proceeds to pull all the information he can through the terminal. We wish all hardware producers could be so kind. It’s populated and even has the pins labeled on the silk screen. The maker of the converter box was also nice enough to include a pin header for the UART. This is an LG chip and after a little searching got his hands on a block diagram that gave him a starting place for his exploration. The hardware includes a Thompson TV tuner, IR receiver for the remote control, and the supporting components for an LGDT1111 SoC. So he cracked it open and reverse engineered how the DTV hardware works. Nowadays all TVs come with one, so found his old converter box was just gathering dust. Remember that abomination that was “HD-Ready”? Those TVs could display an HD signal, but didn’t actually have a digital tuner in them. Back when broadcast television was first switching over from analog to digital most people needed to get a converter box to watch DTV broadcasts.

Rockstar jeans old navy12/15/2023 ![]() ![]() They are a little pricey but you can find them on sale. "DL1961 maternity jeans!! I wore this brand before pregnancy. Like on most maternity jeans, particularly those with side panels, the front pockets are not functional. Pockets are perfectly placed and sized to give you a butt lift, and the inseam is a diminutive 28 inches (petite inseams run from about 25 inches to 30 inches). The Florence comes in waist sizes from 23 to 32 inches, with a slim, calf-hugging fit, and faux pockets with stretchy panels that provide comfy under-the-belly give. Available in sizes 0-20 and in short, regular, and long lengthsĭL1961 is a New York-based brand that makes premium denim clothing for women, men, and kids with ethically sourced cotton and water-efficient plant fibers.65% cotton, 28% polyester, 5% recycled cotton, 2% spandex."Maternity Rockstar jeans from Old Navy are amazing!" HATE them with a passion but these are so comfortable and awesome." I wore leggings for like 3 years straight until I found these magical jeans that actually look like jeans and feel 10000% like leggings. Though these jeans do button, the "fly" is fake and doesn't really zip. They look cute, the fit is extraordinary, and moms love that the extra-soft and smooth full panel is sewn beneath the button-front waistband of the jeans, rather than directly to the top, so if your shirt rides up, it looks like you have an undershirt tucked in rather than screaming "I'm wearing maternity pants!" The fabric is nice and stretchy for ease, and the black wash is properly inky instead of giving off a gray or brown tone in the sunlight. I like that they still have the jean backing versus the full band around." They’re part of Try Before You Buy, like $30 each if I end up liking them. The back is elasticized, but is regular denim instead of stretch fabric. The words "Baby Bump" in the name of these jeans means they have a different waistband than most maternity jeans: instead of a stretchy fabric panel that goes all the way around, the stretchy panel goes only across the front of the jeans. If they don't work for you, you send them back using the included prepaid shipping label, absolutely free. You pay nothing when you order if you like the jeans, you keep them and are charged after the seven-day period runs out. Moms love that Levi Strauss is part of Amazon Prime's Try Before You Buy program, with free seven-day try-on available for some sizes and colors. They don't wear as well over the long term as other jeans, but since you won't be in these for long, the downsides don't matter, and you'll find Signature jeans to be cuter, comfier, and more giving than competitors. is Levi's "value conscious" line, which means that price tags are lower, and the material used for jeans is a bit thinner and softer than traditional heavy denim.

Ive also put a few tag-words describing the songs after each link. Contemporary Dance Songs sometimes come in mellow, laid-back, formats, and other times, the tempo seems to speed up. LyricStudio suggests unique lyric ideas based on your topics and style. For example, “Now I’m in the limelight ’cause I rhyme tight/Time to get paid, blow up like the World Trade, Born sinner, the opposite of a winner/Remember when I used to eat sardines for dinner.

Slant rhyme is when two words are rhymed together that are very similar, but have slightly different sounds.Throw a slant rhyme in your lyrics every now and then, go with a more advanced rhyme scheme like ABCB, or combine two different rhyme schemes to put an original spin on your song.

It may feel natural to go with an AABB or ABAB rhyme scheme that contains only perfect rhymes, but this may make your songs sound familiar or even a little boring.
