I will wait for you forever

if you would just ask me.

I thought that I could change you, but you changed me.

but it doesn't feel right,holding someone else's hand,

together on phone lines, and living at two opposite ends,

it scares me to think that you could find takers other than me

and better than me but your head is elsewhere

and I'm talking enough for both of us

when will you see it's not so easy for me.

i thought being with mike would make me happy.

but now im not so sure he is everything i wanted. and

im so tired of being unhappy

i've always wondered what i would be like to have a father

Replacing Old Door Knobs

Replacing Old Door Knobs

Most doors are fitted with hinges that serve a dual purpose of holding the door in place and opening it when needed. They do not undermine the charm of doorknobs. Initially doorknobs were raised mounds that allowed people to open and close doors without any inconvenience. A number of people are opting to replace old doorknobs with modern designs because they are fitted with a latching mechanism as well.

Since doorknobs offer a single contact point, it may be difficult for youngsters and elderly persons to operate them. For this reason, many families prefer to replace the old doorknobs with modern easy to operate hinges. These prove to be feasible to all family members. Some opt to replace old doorknobs because they may not match the contemporary home decor. When replacing old doorknobs it is important to hire professionals. An unskilled worker may cause the wood to crack while removing the doorknob. This can render the door useless and people may need to replace it entirely.

When replacing old doorknobs with new latching systems, it is important to fit the new systems in the same place as the old. This prevents people from identifying distinct carpentry work. It is advisable to check the value of old doorknobs before disposing them. These doorknobs may be highly valued antiques. Old doorknobs may also need to be replaced in case they lose traction. In such instances, they may not resume their initial grip, in spite of tightening the screws around the knob. This increases the risks of ripping apart a block of wood between the doorknobs on either side, due to the excessive force used to operate the door. In order to prevent such untoward events, it is advisable to replace the doorknobs before a faulty doorknob causes irreversible damages to the door.

Door Awnings

Door Awnings

Door awnings or canopies are protective roof-like coverings for doors of a building. Some types are made of canvas or strong waterproof synthetic fabrics mounted on a frame and are used for covering the door and walkway.

Many types and configurations of awnings and canopy structures are available in the market today. Retractable awnings that extend from the roof or face of the building provide weatherproof cover at doors and entryways and are typically made of canvas or vinyl. Similar awnings are also used to cover windows, storefront, or patios. Door and window awnings are available in several styles and sizes to accommodate different configurations. Latest door and window awnings incorporate a ?roll up? design, allowing easy manual retraction of the awning. Many companies manufacture door and window awnings in kit forms. A wide choice of different shades of high quality marine weave fabric is also available. These awning kits are quite easy to assemble and usually come with the necessary installation hardware and detailed instructions. The awning frames are made of extruded aluminum sections and offer a wide variety of shapes and sizes.

Metal awnings are usually permanently installed at the doors and windows of the house. The awnings allow opening, closing, and cleaning of the windows, while protecting window and door structure from the elements. They are usually bolted into the walls and calked around the wall interface to prevent water leakage. They are generally not removed from their fixed locations unless requiring replacement or repair. Copper or steel door and window awnings enhance the appearance of the building or the establishment while simultaneously protecting the structure against sun and rain. High quality door and window awnings can be custom made from multi-ribbed steel or copper sheets. Awnings protect the buildings and inside furnishings and also add style and class to the building itself.

If properly taken care of, stationary door awnings can provide years of undiminished maintenance-free service. When buying fabric awnings for home usage, it is better to make sure that they are most suitable for the local climate.

Installing Vinyl Replacement Sliding Glass Doors

Installing Vinyl Replacement Sliding Glass Doors

Last week I told you how to remove your old sliding glass door in preparation for the installation of the vinyl replacement door. Let's go through the installation procedure for both the Retrofit style and replacement style frames.

Let's start with the retrofit frame. Like the retrofit window, the door will have a 2" lip flush with the outside edge of the frame. The difference between the retrofit window frame and the retrofit door frame is the absence of the lip on the bottom of the door due to the sill track. Your door will have the lip on both sides and across the top. The majority of the installation process is the same whether it's a retrofit frame or replacement frame. The first thing you want to do is check the floor for a level condition. If the base is not level, add shims to create a level base. This step is very important, because if you have a sloping bottom, the whole frame will be thrown out of square. You will have problems locking the door as well as air infiltration trouble. So, put down shims to make the base level. If possible, use one long shim to create a solid base for the weight of the door. Before setting the door in place, put down a bead of liquid nails from end to end, set the shims on top of the liquid nails, and run a generous bead of caulk on the outside face of the opening, where the retrofit lip is going to contact the exterior surface. Caulk the sides and the top.

Now set the door in place, being careful to lift the door and set the bottom track on top of the shims, rather than dragging the bottom. Obviously, this requires two people, one on each side. You tilt the top away from the opening as you set the bottom in place. Then, raise the top until the retrofit lip contacts the exterior surface where you applied the caulk. The reason I use liquid nails on the bottom rather than caulk is because I don't like to put screws in the bottom, and the liquid nails product is as good as screws when it dries. Have your helper hold the frame in place while you go inside to plumb and secure the door. Put a level on the jamb where the slider will lock. Plumb the jamb and install shims where you put your screws. You should put one about 6 inches from the top and one 6 inches from the bottom. A good quality door will have long screws shipped with the door that are replacements for the small screws holding the locking hardware to the jamb. Be sure to shim where these screws install. Now, if you leveled the bottom and plumbed the side, your top and opposite side should automatically be square. Put shims on the opposite jamb, and drive in your installation screws. Put 3 to 4 screws in the jamb. Then, run your tape measure from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. Write down that measurement. Measure from the opposite corners, and the measurement should be the same if your frame is square. Finally, put one screw in the top center You really don't need any more than one. You don't need to use shims since there won't be any load or torque on the top header. Just don't overtighten the screw, otherwise the frame will bow.

At this point you should have the frame installed in the opening with the fixed panel already glazed in from the factory. Here is where you want to install the sliding panel. It goes in from inside the house. Set it on the side and spray a generous amount of lubricant to the steel rollers to help them spin freely. Wipe away excess before putting the panel in. Remember to raise the top into the header as far as it will go, then swing the bottom over the lip and set it down on the track. If the bottom won't get over the bottom lip, you will have to adjust the bottom rollers to bring them up into the frame. You should see a hole on the side rail to insert a screwdriver and turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise to bring the rollers up and out of the way. After you set the rollers on the track, be sure to adjust them back down before sliding the door. Have your helper lift the side up while you turn the adjustment screw clockwise. Do both sides, then slide the door closed and check for equal daylight from top to bottom. If there is more daylight showing on top or bottom, adjust the rollers to bring the door panel plumb with the jamb. Adjust the lock. Each door should come with lock adjustment instructions. Install the screen door on the outside. Now seal the crack between the retrofit lip and the exterior surface. Go inside and fill the space between the frame and wall studs with R-13 insulation. The last step is trimming the inside. We sell vinyl trim pieces that are designed to trim the inside without having to paint, stain, or nail. You can see samples and prices for the trim at theshopping pageon the website.

Now, the replacement frame installation process is the same, except there is no retrofit lip. Therefore, when you put the frame into the opening, you have to plumb the side jambs from two places rather than one. In addition to plumbing the jamb left to right in the opening, you also have to plumb inside to outside because you don't have the retrofit lip to keep your frame aligned with the outside wall. Also, you need to apply trim to the exterior as well as the interior. You can use a basic vinyl flat trim for the outside, and that is available on the shopping page as well. Be sure to caulk the outside trim where it meets the surrounding surface.You just installed a vinyl sliding glass door. I will be on vacation next week, but the following week's article will deal with the best and safest way to install replacement windows on the second floor.

Purchase the Interior Doors For Your Home Online

When you need new interior doors for your home, you can see all the different types you can choose from when you search online. You can also make your purchase online and have the doors delivered to your door. This is especially good for those living in rural areas and have to travel quite a distance to reach the nearest home improvement store. It is important for you to make the right choice in interior doors because the doors you choose add to the d�cor of your home.

When you search online, some of the door styles you can choose from include:

* Bifold doors

* Space saver doors

* Pocket doors

* Primed hollow doors

* Glass fitted doors

* Semi-solid doors

* Flush doors

* Veneered panel doors

* Double doors

* Room dividers

Of these the white primed hollow door is the most commonly used. This is because of their beauty and their reasonable price.

You can also choose doors in a wide range of wood, of which oak is the most popular. It is natural that you will get standard size doors when you order online, but you have the best chance of getting hard to find sizes.

When you order your doors online, you can also save yourself time and money by ordering the door frames to fit each of the interior doors. This way you don't have to measure the openings, purchase the wood and saw the board into the correct measurements. There are complete interior door sets available, but they do not include the threshold under the door. You may need to cut the legs of the frame, as well, because most of them are longer than necessary.

Contemporary Design - From Front Door to Back

Contemporary Design - From Front Door to Back

Are you thinking of redecorating your home, or are you moving into a new home and wish to decorate it in such as way that it will be a joy to return to after each work day is done?

There's a lot to think about, if so. Do you want to decorate each room in a different style, or do you want to have a single theme unifying everything?

Let's examine every possible place you can decorate.

To begin with, how about your front door. There's many a decorating style that says that your front door should not be a simple and unadorned piece of wood, but should rather look as if some care were taken with it - a basket with flowers hanging from the doorknocker perhaps and pots of flowers or small trees framing the entryway.

That seems a bit much, to those who enjoy the simpleness and minimalism of contemporary design. If you're a flower lover a pot of roses by the door make a cheery welcome, but there's no need to overdo it!

Enter the room and you come to the entry hall, which typically has a mirror for guests to check their hair before continuing into the living room, and a long table. Now, some styles will have you clutter up this hallway with everything under the sun%

Feng Shui And Your Home Interior Design

Feng Shui And Your Home Interior Design

Feng Shui, when relating to home design, is a topic that is gaining more momentum and is becoming more well known in Western society.

Centuries, or in fact thousands of years ago, Feng Shui was known only to the wealthiest and most powerful of Chinese families, including emperors and empresses of China. The royal families used the concept of Feng Shui to influence the harmony and prosperity of their palaces and homes.

In the modern day, as a result of this knowledge becoming known among the rest of Asia, and now in the West including Europe and the US, these principles are now being embraced, regardless of their cultural background.

See, the principles of Feng Shui are based on the concept of 'chi' or energy. And since we are all energy, it is believed that the energy from environmental forces have an effect on our lives. So how does this affect our choice of homes, and our homes designs?

Well, there are several points to keep in mind when it comes to choosing your home or home design:

Tip 1

Firstly, Feng Shui is used to analyse land forms surrounding the home to determine whether the energy or 'chi' surrounding the home is favourable or not.

This includes locations of hills and mountains, water and certain man-made objects around the house. While this is not the actual house design itself, it is considered to have an important impact from a Feng Shui perspective. If you're looking for a new home or land to build a new home, then this will be especially relevant.

Tip 2

Secondly, there is the environment immediately surrounding the home, and visible from the home to consider.

These include what is visible while standing looking out from your front door, and the area immediately surrounding the house. If you're looking to build or looking for a new home, then you can either learn more about this topic or hire a Feng Shui practitioner to assess the property for you.

Tip 3

Thirdly, comes the interior of the home.

There are many considerations for your home interior, including the location of stairs in the home, the location of the bedroom and kitchen, the shapes of the rooms and height of the ceilings and the location of water in the home, including the bathrooms and ponds.

You can learn more from a book, online courses or from a practitioner to find out the details about how to assess a potential new home, and to screen it from a Feng Shui perspective.

In conclusion, these are the 3 areas to be aware of when assessing any home from a Feng Shui point of view. You can learn it yourself, or you can use a practitioner to help you assess a home if you're new. Feng Shui is just one of the tools that you can apply when assessing a potential new home.

Year Round Decorating Ideas For The Front Door

Year Round Decorating Ideas For The Front Door

The front door of your home is the first thing that visitors will see. You can make a good impression on your guests and visitors by adding some special decorative touches to this area. These decor accents do not have to be elaborate or expensive. Many times just one or two specially selected pieces will go a long way. By decorating the front doorway area you can lend a nice touch to your home, and make your guests feel especially welcomed. Here are some ideas for making the most of your decorating area with ideas to give special pizzaz to your front door.

Hang door garland. This can be in any theme and will cover a large amount of space on the front door. Make sure you choose something that will be relatively weather resistant, and will not fade easily. A garland of fall colored leaves would make a wonderful autumn design. For Christmas, holly or poinsettias could be used to make a similar garland.

Display a large wreath or other floral display with the use of an over-the-door wreath hanger. Try making your own wreath out of natural materials like pine cones. This can be easily accomplished by using a glue gun and adding some decorative floral picks. I usually make my own Christmas wreath by using a pre-made wreath shape, and adding Christmas floral picks or handmade bows. I purchase these inexpensively from the Dollar Store.

Add a door knob hanger. This could be as elaborate as a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece, or as simple as a colored ribbon with bells attached. For seasonal themes, a strand of dried corn or even small fall leaves would make a nice hanger. Snowman and poinsettias would be fun ideas for Christmas or Winter.

Seasonal door decorations are a fun way to decorate the front door. For autumn you could use a fall themed wreath with apples, fall leaves, even tiny pumpkins. Thanksgiving ideas include the cornucopia or dried corn. For the past couple of years, I have used a heavy wrapping paper to �wrap� my front door to look like a present. I usually use a bright red foil paper, then add a handmade wreath.

How to Buy a Home with Good Feng Shui

2008-07-18T06:20:20Z

How to Buy a Home with Good Feng Shui

Buying a home is usually a stressful experience. So much rides on a new home because this is where you relax, have fun, sleep, eat; in short, it�s the place central to your life. Not only that, but homes usually cost a whole lot of money and represent our single largest investment. Most homebuyers can usually find the objective requirements of house hunting, such as location, size, and price. But, there are also intangible factors when searching for a new home, but most people don�t know what to look for.

Helping you find the flaws
This is where feng shui comes in. Using feng shui, you�ll be able to spot the problems �or the potential -- in a house that exist outside of the objective requirements of number of bedrooms, amount of storage, etc. These are features that you might not notice, and a realtor will seldom, if ever, point out to you. But, with this checklist, you can at least feel more confident about your decision to go with a particular property.

Look at the space with �feng shui eyes�
When you are looking at a house � or any space for that matter � and considering whether to buy it, it helps to look at it with �feng shui eyes.� You will want to do this once you have considered all the other objective aspects of the house, such as square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, living areas, location, price, etc.

The next step is to run down a checklist of the subjective feng shui considerations that will help you make a feng shui assessment. Even if you aren�t house hunting, this list can give you some important information that might be very revealing about the house you are already in!

The list below provides some of the more serious feng shui problems.

Exterior
?Street: Is house at the end of a cul-de-sac, dead end or T-junction?
?Topography. Is the lot sloped away at the back? Avoid yards that slope down toward the rear. Select home with a rise at the rear. Is house below street grade? This will make for a constant �uphill� struggle while you live here.
?Landscape. Is there a tree or pole directly in front of the front door? Dead trees or shrubs? Dead lawn?
?Garage. Is it ahead of the house or front door?
?Neighbors. Is this house smaller than houses on either side? Do neighbors� houses have sharp angles pointing at this house or appear to overpower or dominate the house?
?Views & proximity. Can you see or is it close to church, temple or other house of worship? Can you see or is it close to funeral home, cemetery, hospital, police station, sewage treatment, abandoned building or run-down house?
?Water. Is water, lake, river, ocean at the back of house or too close to front?
?Lot. Regular or irregular-shaped? House sits too close to the front of lot? Does backyard fall away from the rear of the house?
?Paths. Driveway ends at house instead of garage? Walkways end straight at door?

Interior
?House style. Split, bi-level, or center hall colonial?
?Front. Front door lines up with back door? Does front door face stairway?
?Structure. Overhead or exposed beams? Ceilings too high or are they low and slanted? Skylights over sleeping areas or kitchen? Foundation cracks or problems? Serious plumbing or electrical problems?
?Entrance. Do you see toilet/bathroom door from the entrance? See the kitchen/stove from the front door? See the dining room from the front door? See the bedroom from front door?
?Toilets. Located in NW, SW, center, or corners of the house? Bedroom, dining area or kitchen located under or over toilet?
?Staircases. Spiral staircase? Staircase stops at front door? Split or scissor-style staircase?
?Hallways. Too long? Divide the house into two sections? Too dark?
?Bedrooms. Over garage? Over bathroom or laundry? Have empty space below, i.e., patio area? Is master bedroom too close to the front door?
?Fireplace. In the NW portion of the house? Is it in the Southeast (wealth) sector?
?Major locations. Problems with or missing sections in Northwest (man), Southwest (woman), North (career), or Southeast (wealth)? Bathroom, laundry, kitchen in center of house?
?Odor. Smells musty, smoky, putrid?

Enlist a professional
Still not perfectly confident? Well, a home is a major purchase and we must always consider that important point. Most people take a used car to their mechanic before buying it � and its purchase isn�t as important as a house. So, if you�re still confused or just want to proceed with the sale in confidence, why not talk to a feng shui specialist about looking about the prospective house?

A professional feng shui consultant should be able to tell you what you can expect from this location, such as good financial or business opportunities. Or, maybe you�ll find out that buying this house means your health will suffer, you�ll discover an afflicted portion of the house, such as a toilet in the SW sector that can hurt your marriage. Give serious consideration to hiring a professional.

Fortunately, most problems have a feng shui fix
It�s important to know that every house has �feng shui flaws� and that no house is perfect. However, you should be aware of what you are buying so that you are knowledgeable about what kinds of problems might be associated with the house. The good news? Most feng shui flaws can be corrected.

Types and Features of American Fridge Freezer

2008-07-18T06:20:08Z

Types and Features of American Fridge Freezer

American Fridge Freezers are built to contain both the fridge and the freezer. They are manufactured to have enough storage capacity to suit the customer's need. The two different types of American Fridge Freezer are Upright Freezers and Chest Freezers. Food contents can be arranged well in an Upright Freezer except for the bigger food items that do not fit well. Upright Freezers are less energy efficient because of the door's placement. The door in the chest freezer is pushing downwards and so is more energy efficient.

American Fridge Freezers are used for both domestic and commercial purposes. These keep the food items frozen. They operate at 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Models come with double door or triple doors. Cooling system and electronic controls maintain even temperature throughout the fridge thereby circulating chilled air evenly. The fast freeze option cools food items quickly. Different models come with different freezing capacity. The fridge and the freezer come with sufficient space. The food that is stored remains unspoilt for nearly 5 hours from the time of power failure depending upon the models.

The racks of these are adjustable according to the size of the food container. The auto freeze option is very helpful when we need to defrost the fridge freezer. An American Fridge Freezer has to be placed within one metre of a power socket. Some American Fridge Freezer models are designed with Twin-Cooling system whereby the fridge and the freezer have separate cooling system. This is to ensure that the air does not get mixed. Frost free freezer is designed to keep the food fresh for longer time. Some models come with electronic control system.

Some of the important features that are available in an American Fridge Freezer are chiller drawer, glass shelves, water dispenser, water filter, adjustable wine rack, salad crispers, door balconies, dairy compartments, child lock facility, vegetable containers with humidity control, interior light, door open alarm, egg rack, wine shelf, holiday setting, LCD display, environmentally friendly refrigerant, home bar facility, instant ice making and chilled drinks from the tap.

There are also additional features available in different American Fridge Freezer models. Models with different colours and dimensions are available in the market. Care should be taken to select the right model that suits our requirement rather than getting the model with unnecessary features.

Enhance Your Room With A Closet Door Mirror

Enhance Your Room With A Closet Door Mirror

Mirrors are a good addition to any room. They immediately make the room look larger, which is one reason you often see mirrored walls at restaurants and other places of business. Their light-reflecting properties brighten up a room. If you have a bedroom that needs brightening but you don't have any space, try a closet door mirror.

There are two ways to add mirrors to your closet door.You can buy a kit that allows you to add mirrors to your closet doors. This is a reasonably-priced option, but make sure to install the mirrors well so they don't fall off.

Another option is to replace your closet doors with a closet door mirror. These doors, like traditional closet doors, come in a variety of styles and sizes. They tend to look better than attaching a mirror to an existing door, and you will have no worries about falling glass.

Their is a large variety of closet door mirrors to choose from. It's easiest if you stay with the type of door you have now. In other words, if you have a bi-fold or tri-fold door, don't try to replace it with a sliding door. You will find plenty of options using your existing style and track and won't have to worry as much about getting the fit right.

You can buy closet door mirrors where the mirror covers the entire door. If you prefer, you can find doors that have a metal frame or a wood molding. There are several choices of wood frame to suit your style and the style of the room.

Closet door mirrors are reasonably priced. If you are building a new home and want to add them, the floor-to-ceiling variety can save you money because the contractor doesn't have to take time to drywall and frame.

There are kits for mirrored closet doors that will help the door stay on the track, but not all kits offer this feature. When purchasing, you will be much more satisfied if you buy a door that doesn't jump off the tracks.

A closet door mirror adds light, the feeling of space, and elegance to any bedroom. If you are on a budget and can afford only one home improvement, consider a closet door mirror. There are not many other improvements that add so much to a room for such a small cost.
