There is no need to prove how important it is to have in the garden water supplies that happen with irrigation system and flower beds with lawns for the week of the July heat will turn to hay. So when my old steel tank had rusted and sprung a leak, there was an urgent need to find a replacement.
The first thing that came to mind to order the same, and then dye it and braid wild grapes, to fit into the landscape. But tank black steel is not only unsightly, it is also impractical: and roads, and rust. It is good to make the tank from aluminum or stainless steel, but the price!!! But to use such a tank may have only one season: winter comes “away” and “privatize” your treasure for scrap.
AND THE TANK, AND DECORATION
Many of those who contain animals in the house or apartment, the familiar pattern when a dog or a cat, licking remains of food from the bowl, rides on the floor of the emptied vessel, creating an annoying noise. The situation is even worse when the animal upsets filled the bowl. But to avoid such problems is not difficult — it is necessary for the bowl to stand in the form of andirons.

Any gardener knows that watering flower beds need warm water and therefore an indispensable attribute of the summer residents are steel drums. When they are new, wherever you went, and when they rust, they are destined to become scrap metal. But few people realize that there is another, more rational and essentially free way to create an almost “eternal” storage of warm water – the tires of heavy wheeled tractors, which are in abundance lying around in many places. Better – from “Kirovtsa”. For this you need to make a bed of fine gravel (about 5 mm). Then to close it with plastic wrap (for sealing the seam) and press down the top cover, pre-cutting the cord until its upper edge.

Dear editors, in your journal often publishes interesting technical solutions; offer you. Adhesive pen after consuming the content is not just packaging, and the original design for innovation. For example, it can be easily converted into a syringe-dispenser for viscous compounds: epoxide resin, petroleum jelly, grease, grease nitrokey and other materials.
The accession of Britain, largely against the will and in a rather unprepared state, in the war with Germany questioned the most promising projects in the field of shipbuilding, related with large artillery ships. The main victim, of course, were the battleships, but got the cruisers. At first, everything was still quite cheerful, the benefit of restricting constructors contractual limitations gone. In early 1940, the Admiralty began development of a new heavy cruiser with three treboradice towers and a displacement of about 15 thousand tons. It was assumed that such a ship can be effectively protected from fire by six-inch with 152-mm armor on the sides and 76 – 63-mm deck.
