Wet Polishing

I need opinions for my rock polishing idea, will it work?

I want to use a small ultrasonic cleaner to polish rough gemstones with a water based grit. I don't like the tumblers cause they take a long time and I am unable to find a vibrator polisher I can afford that uses wet grit. do you think my idea would work? what do you think would happen?

It may actually work, but I do not think the results will be any sooner than a standard tumbular.

Landscape Designing Ideas to Make the Best Out of your Garden

There are lots of ways that we can make a garden look beautiful no matter what the size of the garden is. The best way to make the best out of your garden is by using some landscape designing ideas. Before you go all and buy tons of landscape magazines you may want to see what parts of your garden you want to change and the type of look you are aiming for.

While the various magazines can be of help you will find more use for landscape designing looks and ideas if you roughly know what you want your garden to look like. One of the main methods for getting the best landscape designing looks is to see about utilizing the whole of your garden in a manner which highlights each part of it.

The best way to go about this is to see how your garden looks before you start the transformation process. You can section out the garden so that you have a more manageable area to work with. Decide in the beginning where you will have grass growing, this should help you to work out just how much lawn mowing you will be doing.

You can divide your garden into sections and place different plants in each section which will help to provide some color to your garden right throughout the year. Or you could revamp a small section. By highlighting small sections of your garden in this manner you will serve to make the eye see hidden wonders that are normally overlooked.

Of course you will need other items to make your garden look fantastically relaxing. For instance you could think about buying some landscape edgings. These items are perfect for landscape designing. With the different types of curbing which is available you will be able to create different looks for different sections of your garden. This is perfect if you want to make your garden look like it is separated into many smaller segments.

While a landscaping firm can accomplish this task you may not like the price you need to pay or the final look. With some decorative stones and some landscape curbing you can isolate these various parts that you want at a fraction of the cost. Now another inexpensive landscape designing look that you can cultivate is that of having lots of plants clustered into different sized pots.

Of course these landscape designing ideas are just that. You are the final person who can decide where you will place some new treasures into your house. The only limitation to landscape designing is that of your imagination.

the "5 year rule" for homeowners???? is this true?

I bought a house last year in ohio, in a very desirable area (historic district). It's a waterfront home with an awesome view of the river. Since the market was so bad I got a great price for it, plus it didn't have much curb appeal and wasn't as kept up as nice as it could be. Unfortunately I love the house (and view!) but I absolutely hate living in ohio, and really want to move back to the east coast. I made a lot of improvements (landscaping, new flooring, blinds, etc) and the house looks really good, but I'm still nervous to try and sell it next summer. Is the real estate market projected to improve next year? I have heard of this 5 year rule, where you have to live in a home for at least five years if you hope to make a profit when selling, or at least to cut even. I do not want to live here several more years! I'm thinking I could hold on to the house for another year and rent something on the east coast, and try to sell the house when the market improves. Any advice?

considering you made alot of improvements to the home, you should make out with a decent profit when you sell it. try listing it for what you think it is worth, and make sure you will not accept an offer for anything less than what you paid for it and put into the work, that way you will at least break even. you could always have it apraised to see how much it is worth, and go from there. good luck i hope it works out for you!

Can you buy Concrete Stamps (or stencils) in UK?

I found loads in USA but it would be easier in UK, iv been to all the local building suppliers i.e Jewsons etc all the ones you can walk into off the street. tried google all i got was ones in USA.

If you can, find a supplier of Rubi products in the UK. Or try them direct on 01708 559 609 or e-mail rubiuk@rubi.com they do manufacture these concrete pattern stamps, I suspect that they may be a special order item for most stockists though, in which case beware that once you order them that's it no refunds unless covered by the usual sale of goods act. i.e. if you just change your mind on the pattern then it's too late.
