Holding Stair Spindle Caps In Position Easily

The Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindle Caps have a set screw that may or may not hold the cap in place.  

To prevent the cap from falling out of place in the future the caps were glued in place.  

While waiting for the glue to dry use ~ Spring Loaded Clothes Pin to hold the caps in position ~.

The Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindles have that twisted metal do-dad for appearances and aesthetics and should maintain the same slope of the stairway- per client.  

This is accomplished by:

1. setting up a string line at the proper height at the
2. upper most decorative spindle and the 
3. lowest decorative spindle.
4. Pull the string line taunt
5. Tape the String Line to the Post
6. you have the same height at both ends of the stairway.
7. The Taunt String Line is your guideline for setting the remaining Decorative Spindles at the Same Height and slope of the Stair Case.

Modern Decorative Metal Stair Spindles have that twisted metal do-dad for appearances and aesthetics should maintain the same slope of the stairway- as this client requested. 

 Taunt String Line is your guideline for setting the remaining Decorative Stair Balusters "Do-Dads" at the Same Height and slope of the Stair Case.

Deck comes to life with TPWStain

Exterior Deck Re-Stain Before~After Photos~Tips by Scotty

Notice the dull appearance of the existing worn out finish on the Oak wood grain in the before photos.

Then watch it come to life as the TWP 1500 brings out the beauty and richness of the Oak Wood Grain.

Today's project is staining this deck to preserve the lumber pic.twitter.com/G0LEZlZSbr

The deck was a few years overdue: existing finish,

in many places was completely worn away by the elements and

by use.  

Old Stain was worn completely out and was not protecting the lumber 

from the elements or wear and tear of normal activities.  

After the first coat of stain had ample time to be absorbed by

the Oak Deck Materials, it became apparent that a second coat of stain was

going to be needed to fully protect the lumber adding years of future use.

Third coat of stain brings out the richness of the oak wood grains.

To add even more pizzazz the Dull Grey Faux Finished Concrete Post Piers were also stained.  

To add more pizzazz the Concrete Post Piers were also stained.  

This will improve the aesthetics of the deck by having all natural earth tones that 

are pleasing to look at and blend in with the decor and surroundings.

Before	After

This picture and view was when I realized that the Concrete Piers I repaired prior needed a coat of stain to blend them into the aesthetics of the Home.

To add even more pizzazz

the Dull Grey Faux Finished Concrete Post Piers were also stained.

Will Hempcrete absorb the pollutants that are killing my fellow St Louis Neighbors?

I didn't put 2 and 2 together in re that Hempcrete maybe a solution to a problem for StLouis area homes that are being affected by pollution coming from Nuclear Waste buried at Bridgeton Landfill.

I'm researching: "Will Hempcrete absorb the pollutants that are killing my fellow St Louis Neighbors?"

I was listening to a local State House Member talk (skip to 12:00) about "Methane: bubbles coming out of the ground in mudd puddles" & how the "Govt Officials who work in a building all get sick with Cancer".  To make matters worse: "a Local Landfill has an ongoing (underground) fire that is getting closer and closer to the Nuke waste buried during the Manhattan Project by our own USA Govt."

I know through my research that Hempcrete absorbs pollutants such as CO2 & the glues used in construction materials, etc.  

I'm researching: "Will Hempcrete do the same for these pollutants that are killing my fellow St Louis Neighbors?"

I've contacted a few people and will fill you in later on the findings.  I think it will work and create healthy homes.
