Let’s discuss some nuances of building of garage.

Beams for building produce usually from pine, larch or fur-tree. The wood used for manufacturing of beams, necessarily should be dry, because the drier beam, it is stronger and the caves in under loading less.

Beams of garret overlapping lean against walls only with the ends, and that they didn’t cave in, it is necessary to calculate and stack correctly them on distance no more than 1 m from each other.

The beam representing bar, it is possible to replace with two boards, the general section equal to bar. These boards connect by means of nails, having them in chessboard order. It is possible to use also the ordinary thick boards put on edge. In walls the ends of beams close up as follows. Beams put on walls or insert into nests specially left for them.

For prevention of rotting of beams between walls and the ends of beams it is necessary to leave space. With that end in view the nests left in brick walls for packing of beams, it is necessary to make more volume, than the ends of beams. The bottom part of nest, which should be equal, it is possible to level by means of concrete. On concrete put two-three layers of roofing felt or roofing material. In brick buildings depth of nests usually makes 25 cm, and the ends of beams put on length not less than 15 cm.

Before packing the ends of beams prepare and wrap up two layers of roofing felt. End faces of beams don’t pitch and don’t close roofing felt. Lateral and top the parties of beam after packing close up with solution. Between extreme beams and wall there should be backlash not less than 50 mm, which close up by sticks. Between sticks and beam it is desirable to lay roofing felt or roofing material strip.

Also during building you could beat so-called cranial sticks section 4×4 cm. Plates should adjoin densely to each other and be flush with the bottom party of beam. If the ceiling isn’t planned to plaster, plates plane.

Slope of the roof you should grease with the greasing consisting of clay and sand, or cover with roofing felt. After greasing drying fall asleep shaving, sawdust, wood sheet. With a view of fire-prevention safety sawdust or shaving from above fall asleep the dry earth or small slag on height 5 cm. On top of beams it is desirable to nail up the cut board flooring. It will prevent displacement. Garret overlapping is better to warm fire-resistant not decaying plates.

And let me say some words about adaptations for safe entrance to garage. Absolutely not bad, even for skilled drivers to have in garage the device, not allowing driving further, than it is necessary. Such adaptations exists much. We will consider some of them.

Hang up on distance 20…30 cm from back wall of garage old tyre cover at bumper level. As soon as the car will concern it, press brake. Suspend to ceiling on thin cord small soft subject like tennis ball or, we will tell children’s toy. Suspension bracket place choose so that at correct statement of the car the subject slightly concerned windshield. Now drive to garage, as signal of feet will serve the subject touch to glass.

It’s not quite as endearing as the (also terrifying) BigDog, but the OmniTread robot does seem pretty useful. That is, if you don’t need to go fast. The bot is a specialist in navigating rubble and small spaces, and could help locate people trapped under collapsed buildings. There is a risk of them running in terror, but if they’re pinned it shouldn’t be a problem.

It’s designed by roboticists at the University of Michigan, and right now there aren’t any production plans. But if it were to prove itself in a quake or other disaster, they might find themselves with a government contract right quick.

So here’s a somewhat interesting gadget. Instead of converting a PS3 into a hand-held device, a crafty modder named techknott built a custom transmitter. The transmitter allows a player to not only control their PS3 remotely, but also to view the output on a small video screen.

Essentially, you’re combining a controller with a wireless video device, and a small LCD screen. Sounds simple right? Well, it’s might be simple, but looking at the fabrication quality in the video, it’s obviously something that required quite a bit of time and effort.
