This should be done by clipping each end of your fabric onto both metal hooks and tightening all four corners in place to your awning legs by using the ratchet straps. \r\rMore tension on these walls will make it easier for a windy day as sandstorms or any other large gusts of wind not to catch underneath the fabric and cause problems with your vehicle's paint job. \r\rIf you plan on using PVC tubing instead of fabric, you will need to do the opposite and attach the grommets at each corner of your tubing using a bracket. Then, proceed to tie it down on both sides using ratchet straps so that it hangs about six inches over each side of the vehicle's bed. PVC tubing is ideal for these types of projects because it does not tear easily, but fabric can be used in its place.\r\rThen, drill a hole wherever required to install your awning to each of the bracket with secured bolts and nuts, next, you will want to make sure that all the brackets and the ratchet straps are tight enough that they do not come undone by themselves or with some moderate pressure.

The sand is next in cost, but more significantly, it represents about 75% (by volume) of all aggregate used in home mixtures. The gravel or coarse aggregates fills out the rest.\r\rMix proportions are measured by weight, not volume, so metric conversions can be helpful when doing your own calculations at home with commercially sold sacks of cement and masonry products. \r\rThe standard ratio when mixing concrete for the 1:2:3 mix is approximately:","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Bullets","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":null,"bulletData":[{"bullet":"1 part cement."},{"bullet":"2 parts washed silica sand."},{"bullet":"3 parts coarse aggregate."}],"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"","text":"The amount of water required for consistency and durable concrete mix follow the cement manufacturer's instructions.\r\rAggregate is the finest part of the mix and can consist of crushed stone or gravel. Stone aggregate is usually more expensive than crushed concrete or brick/block debris, but it provides a more durable surface when applied to vertical structures such as walkways and steps.\r\rWashed sand is simply sand that has been processed through a screen of some sort to remove dust and other impurities that occur naturally in most sands. This makes for a \"cleaner\" final mix. Less dust means less reaction between the cement paste and air (causing weak points). Even if you run your own screening station at home, we recommend buying washed rather than unwashed sand where available. A number of manufacturers offer special mixes designed for use by homeowners. These include bags of \"premix\", which combine the cement and sand and \"stockpile\" mixes, including a supply of coarse aggregate separate from the mixture.\r\rYou will find that most of these products do not follow the standard 1:2:3 ratio exactly. Instead, they are usually blended to support consistent performance in certain applications, such as parging (applying concrete over masonry surfaces) or around large rocks where you may be forced to use slightly different ratios than usual.\r\rA few masonry suppliers offer packages with more than just three components. Some add fly ash or lime into their base powders, for example. In contrast, others sell special curing agents intended to solve problems associated with winter weather conditions in specific geographic areas. A number of suppliers also offer a line of additives designed to be blended with the mix to alter its properties. Items such as waterproofing, stain blockers and mildewcides are often available from cement companies and specialty masonry retailers.\r\rIf you're doing a job yourself on a budget, keep in mind that many mixes designed for home use can be made by mixing your components. For example, buying a bag of ready-mix concrete involves only the cost of the material itself (after any discounts). Purchasing separate ingredients allows you to make up your own custom blend at a lower cost. Still, it does involve an additional step - measuring and mixing those individual components before they can be used. Keep this in mind when planning your purchases if time is of essence to your project.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What is the strongest concrete mix ratio?","text":"There is no single concrete mix ratio that can be called the \"strongest\". What's most important is selecting high-quality cement, appropriate fine aggregate and proper water content. However, concrete mix ratios will depend on the purpose of the concrete. The concrete mix ratios determine the strength of the concrete. This fact implies that you need to properly understand your building needs so that you or your mason can apply the correct concrete mixing ratios.\r\rIn practice, the construction industry has a concrete mix ratio table for reference. The guidelines in the concrete mix ratio table detail the standard concrete mix ratios. Following the cement mix ratios will help you attain various levels of hardened concrete strength. There are three categories in the concrete mixture formula. These are the nominal mix concrete category, standard concrete mix grade and the high strength concrete grades of concrete. The concrete grade ranges from M5 in the nominal concrete category to M70 in the high strength concrete grades category.\r\rIn the nominal category, the concrete mixture ratio is provided. The right concrete mix ratio is achieved by concrete mix design in the standard and high strength grades. Accurate concrete mixing ratios are attained by using standard devices.\r\rThe rules of thumb for concrete mixing are designed to prevent the separation of ingredients before they have been properly mixed together. In order to do this, they usually err on the side of caution - that means that it's always better to add too much water than too little because you can add more cement mix gradually. Also, note that if you are adding chemicals or admixtures to your mix (even common items like lime or fly ash), these should only be added after the initial batch has been well blended using clean tools - never dump them directly into an unmixed batch of concrete.\r\rWhen mixing, you should always use potable water for the best results - avoid contaminating your mix with anything that may be dirty or contain contaminants that can lead to weak points in your final product.\r\rOnce thoroughly mixed in the cement mixer, you'll notice that concrete is more like clay than any other common building material (except perhaps clay brick). It's very stiff and thick at first, but it will begin softening up within an hour after mixing, depending on how much water was used in the initial mix.\r\rWater cement ratio in concreting works is critical. Adding too much water in concrete mixes results in weak concrete. Do a slump test to test if the water in the mixed concrete is in the correct proportions. You can find details of how to do a slump test online. Concrete takes several days to fully cure (depending on the ambient temperature) to hardened concrete. The curing process cannot be accelerated by additives or admixtures, typically added to improve certain desirable properties rather than \"harden\" the concrete.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"Are concrete and cement the same?","text":"Concrete is not just another name for cement or concrete mix.

Cement itself is a fine powder made from limestone (calcium carbonate) and clay (silica), combined with other trace elements (such as iron oxide) to alter its properties. During the chemical reaction that takes place when water is added to cement, both calcium and silica are converted into compounds with different chemistries - this process forms crystals of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H—a primary component of concrete) within the concrete mixture.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How long does concrete take to set?","text":"The speed at which concrete sets is related to the amount of water used in the initial mix - more water, slower set.

I am Annette’s younger sister and my then fiancé had been posted to Puckapunyal shortly after our engagement. I took Mums wedding dress to a designer in Melbourne who created an exact copy of the dress in my size. I sent the pattern and 14 metres of slipper satin to Annette. As I was a different size and shape to Mum, the dress was first created in calico and sent back to me for the designer to make the necessary adjustments while maintaining all the design features. I sent the adjusted pattern back to Annette and she sewed the dress. I arrived back in Townsville four days out from the wedding in time for a final fitting and for the enormously long hem to be levelled and sewn (I could hold the hem on both sides and lift my arms above my head and the hem still swept the floor). The dress was perfect!!

Having had to move from the region for a period, we used Harcourts to manage our property. We trusted them to do a great job and they certainly made it look look like it. What a disaster. Having taken back the property we have $000s of dollars of repairs that should have been picked up in condition reports - bags of garbage under the house, old mattress, lawn unmowed for years, broken fixtures and appliances. We asked that the deck be oiled regularly... it wasn't, now needs replacing. Yard and maintenance work we suggested that was poo-pooed. Things that tenants should be held to account to fund from deposits. Unbelievable. This photo is from today. We have many more."}}}
