Most people desire to enjoy the serenity of the night without thinking about miseries. It is nice to drift into the enigmatic beauty of the stars in the sky and the luster of the moon. At present, despite the hectic lifestyle of people, some are still wishing to enjoy a precious evening in the patio by just sitting around the fire and glancing at its crisp orange flames.

Year-round patio enjoyment can be had when there is a functioning fire pit to keep you warm and spirited. Fire pits are becoming popular by day. Said popularity triggered an influx of fresh designs, styles and materials to complement not just the patio but also the house in general.

Fire pits can be permanent or portable. They serve as containers for barbecues, bonfires, as well as outdoor heat. They also come in different sizes, sources and accessories. Some fire pits use wood while others use natural gas. Several fire pits are also designed to roast marshmallows while others can carry out a more complicated function such as container of a bonfire during a camping adventure.

One of the most striking fire pits available these days is called chimenea. Chimenea is a circular tub made out of ceramic, iron or other metal. It is an outdoor stove that is intended to provide heat and cook food by using fire pit wood. There are also other designs that are intended for the traditional wood fire pits like the copper bowls. Other fire pits have the rotisserie bar option. The portable version of which can accompany you to the beach, woods, or even just in the backyard. You can also use these fire pits roasting chicken or grilling burgers. This is done to make your fire pit investments go a long way. These types of fire pits accept coals and logs as sources.

Complex fire pit designs use natural gas instead of wood. They are usually fixed. Sometimes they use fire pit special products to boost their performance.

In selecting a fire pit, it is best to weigh the pros and cons. If you wanted a portable fire pit, choose a lightweight fire pit that can be assembled easily. If you want a fire pit for your patio, better use a dish or bowl design. Be sure that fire pit special products like screen dome or cover are part of the package. Also consider the size of the equipment especially when you intend to use logs and coals. When you are purchasing a fire pit with grill, make sure that there is an attached tool to raise the grill.

To maintain the fire pit, remove the ashes a day after you use it. Other fire pits require regular painting. Hence, seek advice from the paint store representative near you.

It is not uncommon for a Chinese couple to seek the services of an astrologer to find a suitable Chinese baby name for their new born child. It is believe that a suitable Chinese baby name can improve the luck of the child and give the child a more auspicious life path.

The methodologies for selecting a suitable Chinese baby vary between the different schools of thoughts but most of them are based on the principles of Yin and Yang as well as the Five Elements.

Chinese characters are made up of strokes. The odd number strokes are Yang while the even number strokes are Yin. For example a character composed on two strokes is Yin while another character composed on 3 or 5 stokes are Yang. The total number of strokes used in the name matters. Depending on the school, a certain range of strokes are auspicious while certain other ranges are not.

In most schools the date of time of the baby’s birth is also required to compute the Ba Zi or Eight Characters. From the eight characters, the astrologer can determine the useful element. This is usually but not necessary the element is that most lacking in the chart.

Let say that the element that is most lacking in the chart is water. In this case the astrologer will find a name that is associated with water. Obvious names would include water or ocean. Less obvious is winter which is also associated with water. For someone lacking in the wood element, suitable names include wood, forest, spring (a season of wood) or a name of a plant.

Another technique is to find a Chinese name that comes with the required element. Most Chinese characters are composed of basic characters. For example the character for the word ‘stove’ a made up of the character fire and earth. Therefore if you lack fire or earth you can call yourself stove! Not the best of example but I hope you understand the principle!

These are by no means the only methods. Let me give you an example. In the old days, where infant mortality rate is quite high, parent resort to giving their child very lowly names like Cow or Pig hoping the evil spirits will miss them hence allowing them to live to a ripe old age!

Now you now why someone not so good looking is called ‘Spring Beauty’ while an obvious beauty is called a ‘Pig’!

Have you ever been to the antique market, or watching the “Antiques Roadshow”, and seen those wonderful woodstoves for days passed? They are absolutely amazing, especially if you can find one in good shape. A friend of mine recently installed a “4 O’clock” stove dating back to the early 1900’s, and it looks marvelous! It got me thinking about woodstoves, in general, and I started to research many of the vintage stoves. I have listed the most popular models below. Get yourself a cup of tea, put your feet up, and read on!

Victorian Stoves – These stoves date back to the late 1800’s. They are generally made from cast iron, and adorned with nickel. This early kitchen stove will meet all of your cooking needs.

Country Stoves – These stoves generally date to around the early 1900’s. It is very similar to the Victorian stove, but more effort has been out into the nickel highlights and the clean, crisp casting.

Retro Stoves – These particular stoves are simply updated versions of the above. In the 1930’s, when these stoves were immensely popular, the kitchen seemed to be the central point in one’s home. These stoves were integral to the “modern” kitchen.

Cylinder Stoves – These stoves are likely the most easily recognizable of the antique stoves. They were renowned for their extraordinary ability to heat a home, while taking up very little floor space.

Potbelly Stoves – Early American photographs abound with images of the potbelly stove. These stoves were found in railway stations, saloons, brothels, and many other historic settings on the western frontier.

Parlour Stoves – Back in the Victorian era, these beautiful stoves were a focal point in traditional parlour rooms. At the height of their popularity, artisans adorned them with various designs such as cherubs, mythological figures, and floral designs.

Franklin Fireplaces – This stove is pure Americana. It was designed by Benjamin Franklin, and early American inventor, craftsman, and President. All Wood Stoves used for heating owe their heritage to Benjamin Franklin, and his efficient design.

These are but a few of the stove types I came across in my research. These stoves are all wonderful examples of design and function. If you happen to see any of these stoves while shopping for antiques, do let me know. Or buy one for yourself! You won’t regret it!

While the idea of a steam room is something that many of us in the modern world enjoy the idea of the steam room itself is not something new. In the olden days the steam room was known as a sweat lodge. These sweat lodges were designed primarily to allow various people to purify themselves before religious ceremonies.

The sweat lodge was constructed of material like wood or animal hide that would hold the steam that was released from the hot rocks inside of the lodge as steam. This steam would build up sufficiently to cause the inhabitants of the sweat lodge to sweat. This was the primary reason of the sweat lodge.

When the people had built up a good amount of sweat they would find that their limbs were completely relaxed. The sweat helped to purify the body and ready the body for a state of meditation. To enable this to occur the sweat lodge would be placed in a location where there was ample room to build a large sized lodge.

Today the sweat lodge idea is still used but it is made from modern materials. In many sweat lodges the primary covering is treated wood. This wood is pre-cut according to various sizes that may be needed to construct a sweat lodge.

The sweat lodge is generally constructed in the basement or just outside of the house and it is large enough for about five or six people to enjoy the benefits of the sweat lodge. In the center of the sweat lodge floor a small stove or gas, electric burner is placed on the floor.

On this stove you will place good quality Finnish sweat lodge rocks. These rocks will be medium sized and resistant to the constant heating and cooling effects of the sweat lodge. The stove heats the rocks up so they are hot right throughout the time that the sweat lodge is being used.

The rocks are used to heat the sweat lodge up to a certain temperature. This heat helps the body to start sweating. To aid this process even more but also to make sure that the rocks and the sweat lodge are not overly heated water is ladled over the heat rocks in small amounts.

When the water hits the highly heated rocks there will be a super heated steam mist that will begin to circulate through the sweat lodge. The combined heat and water vapor all contributes towards the sweat lodge giving the inhabitants of this lodge a relaxing feeling.

Additionally there are certain other benefits that staying in a sweat lodge can give. These include your skin clearing up of various skin complaints, losing weight and feeling more energized than before you started using a sweat lodge.

Using a sauna has many health benefits associated with it. There is no need to get hurt while you try to get healthy. A sauna is unique environment. The heat, moisture and small space dictate that certain construction methods and behaviors be observed.

Safe construction
1-Any electrical connections need to be installed properly. Moisture and electricity are a bad combination. All connectors and fixtures need to be designed for moist areas and never exposed to the elements of a sauna. If you have ANY questions about installation hire, or at least consult, a professional.
2-Always use Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) with all circuits.
3-Ventilate your sauna. The small enclosed space along with the use of wood or gas heaters can create an exhaust problem. Even with an electric or infrared heater, ventilation will improve the efficiency of your home sauna. Venting circulates the air, which in turn circulates the heat, giving you a more uniform heat distribution. Having a slight gap at the bottom of the door and an adjustable exhaust vent above the bench on an opposite wall makes for a convenient and natural ventilation system.
4-Make sure the floor is not made of a slick material. A tile floor may be easy to clean but it becomes dangerously slippery when wet, not to mention hot. A Duckboard (a removable secondary flooring made of wood slats) works extremely well in this situation.
5-The door should swing out and never have a lock or latch on it. In case of fire or CO2 buildup you should not have to think about any more than pushing open the door to escape.
6- Make sure there is some sort of guardrail around the heater. Saunas are intentionally small and the risk of bumping into the heater in the often cramped quarters is real.

Safe behavior

7-A sauna should be a relaxing and laid back retreat. This is no place for roughhousing especially with a hot stove so close.
8-Alcohol and saunas may seem like a natural complement but it can become a dangerous combination. Both will relax you and together they may put you to sleep. Sleeping in the sauna should never happen. Overexposure to the heat is not good for you.
9-There is a lot of debate about taking a sauna during pregnancy. If you are pregnant be sure to talk to your physician about the risks involved.
10-There is some new evidence that suggests that men exposed to excessive heat may father children that have an increased risk of developing brain tumors. It has been known for a long time that heat damages sperm and decreases fertility. There now seems to be a possible link between hot tubs, saunas and electric blankets use by men and brain cancer risk in their offspring. Luckily the effects of the heat are temporary and probably last less than a few months.
11-Always end your sauna session if you feel dizzy, nauseous sleepy or uncomfortable (OK #11 is a bonus).

There is no reason you cannot enjoy your home sauna as a safe and relaxing retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A few simple precautions will insure a lifetime of safe and healthy use.

It could just be that when you speak to a person and tell that you do all your cooking on an induction stove you will be asked the question what an induction stove is. A lot of people may have heard of it but probably have never cooked on one and may even not understand the principle behind it. We can put cooking stoves in to 2 major categories namely gas and electric. There used to be 3 but coal/wood these days are only use for barbecues or some other type of outdoor cooking but for day to day cooking we use either gas or electricity.

Electric stoves can be divided in 3 sub classes, they are:

. The classic and still popular stoves with coil elements
. The halogen heaters
. The induction stoves

With a halogen or coil element stove they produce the heat
that gets transferred to the pot, pan, cooker etc. etc. and then to the contents of those, with induction it the other way around. When your cooking on an induction stove the pot or pan is the one generating the heat. When you hear this for the first time it might be a bit confusing to you but it is not that hard to understand. Ones you understand the principle behind induction cooking and you get your first experience with this type of stove you will probably never want to cook on anything else again.

An electric stove with a coil or halogen works in such a way that once you turn the stove on the element (the coil or halogen) will start to heat up. It does not matter if there is a pot or pan on that element or not it will heat up either way. That heat is then, like we said before, transferred to the pot or pan and then to the food. When you take the pot or pan of the element it will remain hot until you turn it off, then it will slowly start to cool but this will take some time. You can also login on to www.apples-recipes.com. With induction cooking the element will start to produce a high frequency electromagnetic field which passes right through the pot or pan. The pot or pan must be made out of magnetic material. This electric (magnetic) current that circulates is what generates the heat. This is the big difference between induction cooking and the other two types of electric cooking.

Now that the pot or pan is heating up that same heat is transferred to the food or liquid that is inside it. The moment you take the pot or pan from the stove (element) the magnetic field that was circulating is broken and stopped and immediately the generation of heat stops as well. With a coil or halogen element you have to turn the element of to stop the heat generation, with induction cooking there is no heat as long as there is no electromagnetic field circulation. The only heat you will feel when you take the pot or pan from the stove is the heat that was transferred from the pot or pan into the surface of the stove, not the element it self because that never produced the heat.

There is one thing that you have to keep in mind when you would like to start cooking on an induction stove. You can only use steel or iron pots because the material needs to be magnetic in nature. So all your aluminum, copper or Pyrex cookware would be made obsolete once you start cooking on an induction stove.

But if you are used to cooking electric then you will find that once you cook with induction you will probably not be going back to that halogen or coil element.

One month ago, Columbus Day 2006 hit Western New York hard with a historic storm, the likes of which hadn’t been seen in 100 years. Trees, still in full leaf, caught the heavy falling snow, and by morning, they were bent, broken and had downed utility lines affecting more than 380,000 homes. The power was out for days and people had to live as in days gone by. During that time, my family made some shocking discoveries.

1. We need food, clothing and shelter, but we really like heat and running water. Gathered around the wood burning stove (thank God I let my husband play Paul Bunyun in our wooded lot), the family played games and wishfully waited for the power to come on. It was a long wait – five days to be exact.

2. There is a reason for some rhymes, especially, “If it’s yellow, let it mellow. If it’s brown, flush it down.” Being on well water, the pump needs juice and no running water was a bit hard to stomach for us 21st Century dwellers. I found out that urine is sterile and has even been used to clean wounds when water is not available. (Gives new meaning to flushing a wound.) None the less, the sound of a working toilet is now music to our ears.

3. We like each other. Who knew? There were board games by candlelight, storytelling, preparing meals, and talking to each other – a real novelty. Nobody blew a fuse, I heard less negativity and this imposed family time made better connections all around.

4. We need each other. We ditched the TV show “Survivor” mentality where it’s every man for himself. Survival mode brought out the best in us. Camp cooking on the grill was no vacation but we were lucky to have that. The stockpile of food I keep in the basement “fallout shelter” that I get teased about served duel purposes: to feed us and as a convenient reminder that once again, I was right. After four days, our relatives finally got power so we could go and clean up. That is why we are always nice to relatives – we need them!

5. There is life without the Internet! There was no My Space we had our space, and it was pretty cozy with seven of us around the wood burning stove. I have to admit the adults found no Internet as difficult as the kids. But, they couldn’t Google anything we said for to check for accuracy which had its advantages. (See number 6 below.)

6. We don’t like whine. A mini battery operated radio was our only link to the rest of the world. Most folks were great and recognized that the government cannot outlaw accidents, acts of nature, time passage, aging and gravity, but… I told my kids about results of a study that I had read just before the power went out that showed in 99% of cases of whine, sitting on the butt increased hindsight, drastically.

One day the kids will reminisce about this historic October storm and say, “Remember the time we melted snow to flush toilets?” and “How about when Mom ran out of chocolate and melted baking chocolate on the woodstove?” or “I went five days without a shower” and the rest of us will answer, “We REMEMBER!” While we’re not exactly looking to repeat it, the family got a charge out of being powerless.

The electricity can stay on – please – but let the power of our Columbus Day discoveries keep on going… and going… And make sure to stock up on plenty of C and D batteries.

Garden buildings have been popular for centuries and were associated with luxury gardens during the Renaissance. The concept of garden buildings then spread north of the Alps and into the United Kingdom, and they are now very much part of the traditional English landscape.

Garden buildings remain popular in today’s garden, such as: garden sheds, summerhouses, or log cabins. They come in variety of shapes of sizes to fit any household need. The size of garden building you opt for isn’t necessarily related to cost, but to how much available space you have in your garden. Ideally you should have a clear space of least 18” wide on all sides of the building to ensure easy access for installation and future maintenance.

Garden buildings are usually made from wood, but metal or heavy moulded plastic is also an option. Wooden garden buildings can blend into the garden or stand out as an attractive addition. The wood will need protecting from the elements, termites, mould and damp, and therefore a good wood finisher needs to be applied once a year to protect the garden building. Plastic garden buildings are durable, will not degrade and hardly need any maintenance. Metal garden buildings often do not come with a floor. Consequently it is advisable to mount metal sheds on foundations to reduce rust problems, insects and ground water seeping into the building.

Small garden buildings, such as sheds, are often used for storage: garden tools, work tools, bicycles, and anything else that can’t find a home in the house. Sheds and men have often been associated together, but the traditional viewpoint has to change: women have recently discovered the joy of ‘shed time’ and subsequently the sale of sheds have increased.

Larger garden buildings, for example: sheds or log cabins, are extremely versatile. No longer are they regarded as just somewhere to store the gardening equipment. A popular option for a larger garden building is a home office. The smallest size for an office is generally 8’ x 10’ and the most popular sizes are 12’ x 8’ and 12’ X 10’. There are companies that specialise in garden buildings for offices and they can advise on such matters as: planning permission, location, foundations, and utilities. Large garden buildings can also be used as a workshop, to house a whirlpool or as children’s playroom/playhouse. There are purpose built garden buildings for children, and manufacturers have let their imagination run riot. There are castle playhouses, mini-home playhouses with four windows at the front, a door in the middle and an upstairs! There are playhouses on top of climbing frames, jungle huts, and playhouses in the shape of a rocket – how fantastic is that! They will keep the children amused for hours.

Garden buildings are ideal for entertaining friends, colleagues or family at home, when space is lacking in the house. Summerhouses make an ideal option, and they are also great to relax in on a warm day while the pesky insects buzz around outside. Summerhouses are attractive and can be tucked away in the corner of the garden if space is limited, or act as focal point for the larger garden. They start from a small and simple design, through to a large, hexagonal summerhouse containing a built in stove, vent and Chimney; therefore you could barbeque any time of the day, whatever the weather – and you’ll have the most popular garden in the street!

It is hard to find a garden without a garden building because they are useful, practical and versatile. Furthermore, some garden buildings can increase the value of a property – another reason why a garden shouldn’t be without a garden building.

Installing a kitchen is a job for professionals – a whole parade of professionals. If you are having a kitchen installed, you’ll see tile setters, plumbers, electricians, appliance installers, rough and finish carpenters, stone masons, and others along with the designer and project boss. However, there is a major role for the homeowner as a kitchen installation inspector. If you don’t take on this role, your $25,000, $50,000 or $100,000 plus kitchen could see some serious flaws built into it.

You don’t have to peer over the shoulder of each worker every minute as they build and install your kitchen. You should, however, inspect the results of their work periodically through each day if you can and, certainly, at the end of each working day.

Before work begins, in fact, inspect your contract with great care to see what is included and what is not. The contract should call for complete finishing of the job or spell out what is not part of the agreement. For instance, you may end up paying for baseboard, register covers, door hardware, ceiling fixtures and other finishing touches unless it is specified that all finishing work is the responsibility of the installer.

The job itself may begin with structural work. You may be having a doorway enlarged or a ceiling raised or windows cut into your new kitchen. Some of this structural work may require a building permit. Even though it is the responsibility of the professional to get that permit, if they do not, you’re on the hook as the homeowner for non compliance and the work will go uninspected by experts in the municipal building department. Check with city hall yourself to see if a permit is required.

At the end of each day, look at the structural work yourself to make sure studs are securely fastened, drywall is even at its joins, drywall compound is smoothly applied and so on. You don’t have to be an expert to wiggle a stud or eyeball drywall. If it doesn’t look good to you, ask your contractor about it first thing in the morning or sooner. In particular, make certain all finishing touches are done within your contract or be prepared to pay extra. And don’t ask for changes unless you are willing to pay a great deal extra for those as well. A change in wall paint color could be very expensive unless you negotiate to have it included in the original price.

For each inspection, take measurements and make sure everything is level. For this, you’ll need a tape measure and a spirit or laser level. These are simple tools to use and they don’t lie. Make sure all measurements are to plan and watch for differences as little as a quarter of an inch. You may not be able to install a large appliance in an opening that is ‘just a smidgeon’ too small and a gap of 1/4 inch can look huge in an otherwise beautiful kitchen.

If workers are using materials like cement, grout or drywall compound that will set like rock overnight, try to inspect their work before they leave for the day. You may find grout on top of tile backsplash or floors or drywall compound that is rough. Scraping or sanding poorly applied finishes like these can take hours and raise considerable dust in the home.

One disastrous grouting job on 45 square feet of backsplash took workers seven hours to rectify and was barely acceptable when completed. As well, make certain the right kind of grout is used; wall grout is unsanded and is not be strong enough for use on floors while floor grout may look and feel too harsh on walls.

Make certain flooring is level across its entire expanse. Any high or low spots will be magnified when cabinets sit on your new floor and cleanup will be difficult if your tile or wood floor has wide gaps or uneven levels.

Check each cabinet to make certain it is free of scrapes, nicks, dents and other defects. Don’t accept cabinets that are marked in any way. Check all hardware including runners, hinges and self-closing devices to make certain everything is in place and tight. Check each drawer to ensure you have proper liners, trays and other extras in your order. Use your level to ensure each cabinet is installed correctly.

Check, as well, the trimming around cupboards to make sure it looks good; some trim can be appear homemade or caulking can be used too liberally to hide poor joins.

Check your counter top to make certain it is cut properly, especially at joins and around the sink area. If you have a sink installed, the countertop will be cut using a template supplied by the sink maker. Ensure the template matches the sink exactly before cutting and ensure the sink fits the cut top before it is installed. This is critical when installing an undermount sink since there is no sink surround to hide poor counter cutting.

Inspect the plumbing work to ensure there are no leaks. Try your taps and dishwasher before the plumber leaves to ensure they are working properly and that drains are not plugged by debris or kinked hoses.

Inspect electrical hookups to ensure everything works and that you have safe Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) plugs and switches near the source of water as in your sink or dishwasher. Make certain all plugs in the design are installed and, in the beginning, make sure you have enough electrical outlets in your kitchen for all possible large and small appliances, fans and other equipment. As well, ensure the plugs for the stove, dishwasher and refrigerator have enough clearance for installation of the equipment.

Ensure your appliances, including the range hood and microwave, are properly installed and in working order before the installers leave. If the appliance is improperly installed or set up, it could be damaged by use and you don’t want to be liable for this.

As one can see, there is a lot to inspect in an average kitchen installation and these tips don’t cover everything that can be eyeballed and measured by the homeowner. The better your designer, suppliers and installers are, the better the job will be and the easier inspection will seem. But, you are the one who will have to live with the installation for many years. It’s worth the work of inspecting the job daily to protect your investment and make sure you’re getting everything you want in your dream kitchen.
