Convert from weight to volume, when making cement

Monday, October 27th, 2008

The recipe I posted on the cement shows how many parts by weight of cement and air lime should be used. But when you stand there and do the cement so you will not have any scales to weigh out the lime and sand on. So to convert from parts to parts by volume as a friend gave me a link where there are a variety of conversion formulas.

http://www.simetric.co.uk/si_materials.htm

I'll sit down and recalculate the weight parts of volumes, and then present it here, so that it is easy to use the recipes that I published earlier.

Höstrusket makes you dream away for spring chores

Sunday, October 26th, 2008

When everything is gray, cold and wet so begins my fantasies about what to do until spring really speed up. It will be so great to start working on the roof, working with the body while it is starting to produce small buds on the trees and the grass starts coming up again.

The plans of what to do saves one away. The thought that soon has Christmas passed, and then o that not long to go before it can start working on the house.

So far, I have decided to start by removing the brick, then I'll take down the chimney. The chimney needs to be rebuilt before I can continue, and an iron bar fixed to the chimney (it will help to hold up a beam). Then I can focus on changing the two bars that I have made ready.

When the beams are in place so the new cross beams added on, the ceiling set up. Wind cardboard placed on the ceiling. Then put on the roof, tjärpappa it and add spawned. Then put it back on the roofing tile lekten.

Hopefully I will have time for a summer. So I can start a fire in my fine iron stove, and to focus on anything else fun to do.

The roof of the hut failing part, because the roof was originally built to be a birch-bark roof, but now it is added tiled roof on top.

In order to do something about it, I will, among other things, set up a cross that will shore up the beams in the ceiling.

Two different trackers

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

To increase the amount of electricity you get from solar cells can mount the solar panels on trackers. This increases the efficiency well (up to 60%).

Below you can see the painting of examples of trackers. I'm thinking of buying it from Arkadin, the cheapest of the two. I just have to figure out if it is enough to keep up the solar panels I intend to buy.

Sink into the kitchen in the cottage

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

Now I have checked around some sinks after which I would like to have. Have found some overseas in copper for example this one:

Vask av koppar

Sink Copper

Here you can find it on the Fixtures universe

But probably will not buy it. However, I will try to find a saltglaserad sink from Höganäs as this:

Saltglaserad diskho från Höganäs

Saltglaserad sink from Höganäs

The few I've seen on the block has cost about 3000 SEK, so I'll see if it is possible to find someone for a better price than that. I know they've thrown a lot when they renovated the Uppsala Universtiet , which is a shame. I should have taken one when I had the chance, but now it's a little late.
