Gardener, gardeners, builders difficult to do without such a vehicle, like a car. When moving a wide variety of goods it greatly facilitates the hard work — saves energy, time, and possibly health when the volume of traffic is significant. In the markets of construction materials and are sold in hozmage cars of various designs. But at a price that is incomparable in their efficiency. Besides, they are made according to the type of commercial trucks with the wheel in front of the loading platform (or body).
BOX OF MUSHROOM
Purchasing a road bike, it was a sin for mushrooms do not go! From Kronstadt on the dam on the Northern coast of the Gulf of Finland, next to Sestroretsk in the Vyborg side, 54-th kilometer of the highway (still to chase your “raider”). And I must say that the fall of the Baltic – a very Moody person with constant winds. In short: there will come, tired of running through the woods with the bike on the coast will be selected, and there await not only reverse the miles, but also a strong headwind. In General, we decided on a bike engine to install. It has become my “raider” moped. Sosnovy Bor, Zelenogorsk, Vyborg – such was the geography of my trips.
THE LAMP FROM THE FOREST
When the country house was built and the time of wiring, we, on reflection, abandoned the ceiling lights, because the chandelier is not looked very good in rooms with low ceilings. Instead, it was decided to use local lighting placed above the tables, armchairs and headboards wall or ceiling sconce. It was first supposed to buy them in the store, but “urban” bra wildly looked on the walls of the lining. Had to come up with something different.
GARDEN CART – FROM THE PAST TO THE FUTURE
Over thirty years ago fate would have it, so I went into the house of Fyodor Nikitovich, Kuhtenko. This man’s life was not easy. The dispossession of the family of the parents in the period of collectivization, war, captivity, escape, the Soviet camp, the work of a master in a munitions factory, once again the repression and return in the defense industry. In short, learn it once, and the birthplace of required full-time commitment. Helped natural diligence and, most importantly, the talent of the master on all hands.
SCREED: ANGULAR OR HELICAL?
Modern furniture – cabinets, tables, shelving made from chipboard or fibreboard, plywood, wooden boards, etc. however, many traditional corner joints (tenon-eye, vpoldereva on the dowels, keyways and others) are not only very time consuming, but sometimes their use is simply impossible. In addition, all these compounds the monolith that it is often very impractical for transport and even moving furniture.
REPAIR DRILL
Sometimes even reliable drill goes down. Statistics show that failures occur not so much in its mechanical, how many electrical parts. But if tips on restoration of cable, replacement of worn brushes, bad switch or the elimination of other simple malfunctions of home appliances posted a lot, including in the pages of “Modeller-designer” (see for example, № 9’95,6’96,2’97), what about more complex kinds of repair are not. In particular, there is a clear lack of material about the peculiarities of maintenance and feasible (in terms of home Studio) fixation of the rotor manifold of the engine, usually installed in the drills, wrenches and other manual tools.
A rat TRAP
The extermination of rats is usually done by three methods: biological, chemical and mechanical. The most common and effective among them is chemical. Sanitary-epidemiological station (SES) conducts it successfully, with cereals, poisoned. But there is a problem: a long smell of the deceased out of reach of the rodent. And in a private house or in the country not to avoid. If neither the dog nor the cat can’t protect you from the rat visits (and maybe no way to keep these friends of the person) – then try a mechanical method of destruction, having made the proposed rat trap.
SEPTUM TO MOVE? EASY!
Many Housewives often want to change the layout of his apartment. Now building new buildings to fulfill this desire is quite real: the architects of advance lay in their projects the possibility of alterations at the discretion of the beneficiaries. However, it is not difficult to do in older homes, as in most of them the internal partitions are not load-bearing and light from a thin-walled panel or gypsum blocks. To perform such work is not difficult – more difficult to get them accepted in the relevant regional interdepartmental or architectural organizations. Their expert Committee should confirm that your dream, for example, to go from the kitchen to the dining room, not through the corridor, and after you have done separating them, the wall of the arch will not violate the requirements of applicable building, sanitary and technical and operational regulations for residential buildings.
“FORWARD, TO MARS!..”
This slogan was the basis of the life and work of one of the founders of Russian space engineer Friedrich Arturovich Tsander, who developed the 20-ies of the last century one of the first projects of the spacecraft for flight to Mars. However, he was not only a dreamer — in the early 30-ies took an active part in the development of the first domestic liquid-propellant rocket engines and rockets in the famous gird.
MOTOR BOAT “MIRAGE”
At the time I had a chance to build and test many motor boats. The first water I came off the boat “star”, the drawings of which were published in the October issue of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” for 1966. It is known that the village of homebrew not spoiled by the wide range of structural materials. What was required for the construction of the “Stars” for a long time was not. Had to make do with what was in the moment at hand, namely, a steel sheet with a thickness of 1.8 mm. Naturally, the power set of metal profiles and strips of different cross sections, coupled with sigouney paneling gave the boat a pretty solid mass.
