From this point, we will make a log stairs and furnish it through. We will also add a railing or railings, and then we will take some interior designing to finish our log stair. In here, making our log stair is almost automatic. But then we should consider the following:
Materials:
Logs, plywood
Nails
Polish paint or varnish
Carpet
Staple wire
Tools:
Saw
Chisel
Hammer
A nail gun
Framing square
Measuring tools: rulers, type measure, meter stick
Two Steel brackets, two cleat brackets, and one spacer for each step
STEP 1 – ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
In this project we will use a self – locking Stringers to make some things fit automatically together, this self – locking Stringers do away 80% of trimming work which is required in making a more complicated yet simple log stairs. The single log of the self – locked stringers has a designed edge that is providing an automatic assembly of stringers but still we have to cut its edges to the right angle.
STEP 2 – PUTTING IT TOGETHER
Now the stingers are now ready, but double check it before placing steel brackets. It may have some gap left and if there is any, you may use the hammer and chisel to carve it gently so that it will not leave any room for gaps. After this, you are now ready to place the steel brackets but then configure our spacer to the desired height and then arrange neatly the steel brackets. Nail the steel brackets into place but first use the framing square to achieve the perfect angle. After the steel brackets were placed it is time to put the risers nailing it to the stringers and then place the cleat brackets in place before placing the treads into its position.
STEP 3 – INSTALLING THE LOG STAIR TO THE HOUSE
The finish log stair is ready to be installed to the house, place now the stair into its rightful position and add beams of log nailing it underneath the stair’s inclination to support the newly installed log stair in bearing load weights.
STEP 4 – INTERIOR DESIGNING THE LOG STAIR
Now, the log stair is installed in the house. It is now the time of making the log stair at home to its place. First, we will put the railings along with it. Before we forget, use curtains or plywood to conceal the underneath of the log stair or be decorative as you are. Cut the plywood into the size and number against the risers and treads of the log stairs. Afterwards place the cut plywood in place, covering the original risers and threads. It is time to polish the art work, use paints that are complement to the paint of the house or else apply a varnish so that it will look natural. Lastly, to add some gesture to your log stair we will put a carpet but do not cover the entire steep with it but make an extra space big enough.

WHAT IS THE THROTTLE BODY IN A VEHICLE?
The throttle body in engine is the part that controls the allocation of air that streams that is to be burned together with the fuel and give thrust and power inside the engine’s combustion chamber. It is made of board housing that holds the throttle plate or the butterfly further more it rotates on a shaft located in the engine.
LOCATION OF THE THROTTLE BODY IN A VEHICLE
The throttle body is located the intake manifold and air cleaner of the engine. Throttle body is mostly made from aluminum to prevent corrosion, which is connected to the gas pedal of a vehicle. It has a flexible cable which shifts the throttle shaft when depressing the pedal.
IMPORTANCE OF THE WARM AIR IN THE THROTTLE BODY
It is so important that we can optimize our engine for superb performance, by optimizing the throttle body we can be assured of optimal fuel consumption. Since the air pass through the first engine, the air is becoming warmer to some degree. There are two facts to be considered why we heat the air intake. First, cold air is not conducive in mixing atomized fuel compare to warm air; atomized fuel can mix easily to warm air than cold air. Lastly, to avoid ice from building up and preventing the throttle body from chilling so it is strongly recommended that the incoming air should be heated.

WHAT IS A LEVER LOCK?
Lever lock is a lock that can be unlocked using its lever which is to be raised to a certain position. Usually it has lever which is made of a flat metal as its tumbler, it is widely used as a door lock and preferred by the police as a secure door lock compare to the other kind of door locks.
FOR HOME SECURITY
Because of the rampant crimes in our society especially in a home related crime, our proper authorities are finding ways to keep their citizen secure and away from any harm. So they highly recommended to home owners to have a lever lock as their door locks because of its durable features and it is hard to dismantle. It is widely use in subdivision as a recommendable door lock to their houses.
THE FIVE LEVER LOCK
If you are applying for a home insurance in your state then the 5 lever lock is a type of lock often required by the agency where you apply your home insurance plans. There are many kind of grades in this lock but the British Standard (BS3621:2007) is usually required for insurance purposes. The lever functionality is really only available in the UK and some place of Europe. This form of lock’s feature is frequently called as Chubb locks. And although there are many good manufacturers the new BS3621 demands for a bolt ranging of 20 mm better than the 14 mm of the old standard.

TIPS IN CONVERTING CHEAP CAR SPEAKERS INTO GOOD CAR SPEAKERS
Making cheap car speakers into good car speakers is one of the practical ways of saving extra money in your pocket. Buying cheaper car speaker instead of expensive one without compromising the quality is one of the options available for car user who find ways in optimizing their money. Let us look now on tips in making cheap car speakers into good car speakers which can be helpful to you and can pimp your ride.
First is to consider its wiring. You can replace its original wiring with a new durable wiring that you could buy from a hardware or shop. Cheap car speakers’ wires are less durable compare to a branded car speaker so make some effort to lead things up.
Second, a regular checkup and cleaning is a must. Because sometimes cheap car speakers are made from materials which are corrosive like steel, it is a good habit that you check and clean regularly the car speaker so that rust can’t affect the performance of the speaker.
In addition, the display position and looks of the car speakers sometimes do the tricks. You can make cheap car speakers into good car speakers by placing it in the right place and making it creative. Also it is preferred that you place foam from any surface from the place where your speaker is laid to prevent from bumping hard or from the vibrations of the engine.
It is also important to protect the car speaker from foreign object or make it far from getting wet; it is observed that moist can alter the performance of a speaker by blurring the sound.

MAKING SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT DOOR SCREW
In making sure you have the right door screw, you have to consider first its brand; it is preferred to find a door screw that is stainless steel. But beforehand it is important to check first the quality of the wood or canvass where the screw will be screwed. Then you should consider the heads, widths, and lengths of the screw. In addition, it is also advice that we consider the number of screws that we want to put in our doors; the more screws is the more stronger but beauty is also considered, don’t outnumber your hinge.
CONSIDER THE SCREW HEADS
Be sure that the screw head is big enough to cover the hinge’s hole with a little overhang. Perhaps you want the hinge to slip off. It is not practical that your screw head is rounded that protrude overlapping the hinge, it will cause some slight problem in closing the door and it may damage the canvass that is against the door. Phillips head screw is more available to find but there are plenty of flat heads screw anywhere that works find.
CONSIDER THE SCREW WIDTHS
To insure maximal weight load, you will choose the wider screw because the wider it is the stronger the screw to hold weights. Try a width or two usually classified by a number and a pound sign, screws to achieve a stronger screw to bear heavier weight.
CONSIDER THE SCREW LENGTHS
It is wise to have a 2 to 4 inch screw in considering the stability of the door. Although some doors is light and requires less, but you need to insure that your screw is long enough to hold your door. Also, there are incidents that having a long screw messed up its integrity so it is a must that you are analytic enough to fit the length of the screw to the door you are working.

HOW TO TEST A BOAT IGNITION SWITCH
It is important that we test the boat ignition switch so that we can avoid any trouble ahead. It is part of safety measures among sailors. Also ignition switch is very important to a boat because it is its driving force to get started so it is more conventional that beforehand you can test the integrity of your boat’s ignition switch. In addition, testing this device is easy and you don’t need to call any technician to work it for you but you can do it yourself.
Step 1 - BEFORE THE TEST
See to it that you have read the manual of your boat particularly in boat ignition switch because it may differ from one boat to another. Then check your boat engine for any leaks; it may cause explosion when you try to start using the switch. And check the wirings of the boat especially the one connected to the switch, you may not know, it may cause a short circuit problems. Also it is very important that you check the condition of your battery before the test because oftentimes problem occurred mostly in the batteries. You can start at the battery and follow the wires that lead to the engine, and you can check the connection and checking the starter solenoid which connects your battery from the switch.
STEP 2 - ON THE TEST
Now you are ready to make things spark. Slightly turn the key using the boat’s ignition switch to start the engine but listen carefully if there is any unusual sound and if there is, then stop the test, you may have an engine problem. Finally, if you are successful in switching on the engine, let the engine have a successive long revolution to heat your engine, and then switch off the engine and wait for a couple of minutes then do step 2 again until you are satisfied in testing your ignition switch.

HOW TO MOUNT COINS IN A COIN SHADOW BOX
Shadow Box is a collection of memorable things and oftentimes it is framed. It is laden with items that has significant value to a person, like in the military, shadow box is used to personalize or framed their accomplishments, achievements or recipient’s service like medals, coins, and rings. This is to be displayed in their homes and underscores their past. So we will make a coin shadow box later, but first secure these materials below.
Materials needed:
• Coins
• Cardboard/ thin plastic can do
• Staple
• Glue gun
• Any correct size canvass as you preferred
• Marker
Step 1 – MAKE THE COIN HOLDER
Get a coin and cut a correct sized cardboard it should look like a rectangle. After, fold the rectangular cardboard in the center, then mark a circle on one side of the folded cardboard using the coin as the pattern but estimate that the circle you will make is smaller than the coin. Make a hole on the folded cardboard following the circular mark that you made, place the coin in between the fold of the cardboard so one side of the coin is visible on the center of the folded cardboard. Hold the top side down of the folded cardboard and staple it making sure that the coin is intact to where it was placed. Now label it as you want, then do it again as stated in step 1 until you can have the desired number of coins fixed on the cardboard.
Step 2 – FINISHING THE SHADOW BOX
Assuming that you have made 12 pieces of coins fixed on the cardboard. Get the canvass that you preferred and place the 12 coins and arranged it as you desired and glue it in place using the glue gun.
Step 3 – FRAMING IT
You are almost finished but it is up to you if you want it to be framed with wood or any plastic, it is your discretion in what to use. Just make it sure it is presentable and artistic.
