Are you involving in problem of noisy or shaking ceiling fan in your house? I have a secret tip of solving that problem.
If you let a technician install a ceiling fan in your house but when you turn it on it start shaking and very noisy. You ask him how to eliminate what so happen ,he'll tell you that it's come from defect of the fan that you buy or your ceiling material is not suitable for ceiling fan. So, how to do ? I'll show you how to solve it.
What you have to have are:
- 2.50 m. self standing ladder
- metal measuring tape
There are three blades on each fan. The most of all problems is that when technician install the fan he just mobilize the fan by screwing all screws and all fittings then fix the completed set at the ceiling hook without adjusting anything else.
After turn on the fan so it come out with a shaking fan.
All you have to do is bending each blade end to the same level. Assuming that the ceiling is in level, right, it should be. Then you measure the distance between blade and ceiling. Adjust each blade end by bending with your hand until the distances to ceiling of each blade are equal. Then climbing down and try to operate the fan, if your adjustment is correct the fan will smoothly and quietly rotate.
Don't forget to check that all screws are firmly tighten.
Beware fire in your wardrobe
New style wardrobe has electric bulb with automatic turn on when opening. You should ensure that you would not forget to close it's door securely otherwise the bulb would remain on all time, especially when you go out to work. Or due to long time use the bulb and cable might not in good condition. You should realize that the technician that make your wardrobe is not electrical man but he is just a furniture maker. You must regularly check your electric cable and appliance in the wardrobe and don't forget to securely close the door otherwise when you come back you might not see your house but only land and burned objects.

Five Important Things to Consider Before Tiling
Picking a new floor can be overwhelming. Even after you’ve narrowed it down to one particular type, it is still challenging to find the right tile because there are so many different varieties to choose from these days. And then once you’ve purchased your new tiles, there are still quite a few things to consider before you begin laying the tile. Here are the top five things you should know before you began tiling.
1. Is Ceramic Tile Suitable for Your Space?
There are many advantages to ceramic tile. It is really durable and easy to clean. It isn’t the best option in some spaces though. During the winter months, ceramic tiles can really hold the cold, so you might not want to use them in a basement space. Certain types can be slippery, so you if you are considering tile for an entryway, you should go with a more slip-resistant variety.
2. Select the right Size, Style and Texture
Ceramic tiles come in all sorts of shapes – anywhere from one inch to two feet. The most common size tiles are between one and one and a half feet in size. Choosing the right size is actually easier than you might think. Just figure out the size of your room and then choose a size that suits it. For example, if you have smaller room, a large tile would not be the best option because it would look like panels rather than tiles. A large tile is really best suited to larger spaces because they look less busy than smaller tiles do.
Currently, there are many styles of ceramic tiles to choose from. The easiest way to narrow down your options is decide on the type of look you are going for. It you want a rustic, natural look than you might want to consider a rugged, natural looking tile instead of a polished marble.
Choose a tile with the texture that will best suit your rooms theme. If you go for a rustic, natural looking tile, it will be rougher than a polished marble surface. When choosing a texture, you do need to take safety into consideration. The smoother that a surface is the more likely it is to be slippery when wet. If you have children or elderly people in your home, then a high-gloss tile is not the best option from a safety standpoint.
3. Choose an Appropriate Grout Color and Width
Grout is a cement mix that has color added to it to compliment your tile. Grout fills the space between tiles so you need to choose a grout width and a color that works in your space.
4. Installation Materials and Methods
There are different installation methods and a successful installation will really depend on the materials used and the energy and patience put into the project. You will want to make sure that you do the proper preparation and have all the materials you need at hand. You will need to make sure that you purchase a high quality bonding material, grout (as discussed above), a sealer and the right tools to get the project done.
Laying tile can be a bit tricky. You need to make sure that your cuts are correct and that the space around each tile is even. If you feel overwhelmed by the prospect of installing it yourself, then you might want to look at contracting the job out to a tiling professional.
5. Maintenance
Ceramic tile is one the easiest types of floors to clean and if you take care of them, they will maintain their shiny, new appearance for years to come. To clean tile, all you really need is water and any household cleaner product. You can start by removing any dirt and dust with a broom or vacuum and then using a sponge or mop you can apply the mixture of water and cleaner to your tiles. It’s as simple as that! You will need to be cautious about dropping heavy objects on tile. If tiles split, crack or chip, it is impossible to replace just one tile. Odds are you’ll have to live with any cracks or chips until you’re ready to re-do the entire floor.
