Ron installed a new insulated floor system in his workshop to make it less cold. He used Dricore subflooring panels, which are composed of compressed wood flakes and have a moisture barrier. The panels interlock without glue using tongue-and-groove joints. This creates a floating floor that can expand and contract without being attached to the concrete. Ron cut and installed the panels, filling gaps with shims as needed. He then installed G-floor garage flooring over the top, which rolls out without adhesive. The new insulated floor system helped warm up Ron's workshop.
The document provides guidelines for building light garden wall foundations, including those on sloping ground. Foundations should be at least 3 times the width of a half brick wall or twice the width of a full brick wall. When digging trenches for foundations on a slope, the trenches should be cut horizontally in steps to accommodate the slope. Retaining walls should be no more than 4 times as tall as they are thick to provide stability.
1) To properly fix items to plasterboard walls, you need to use specialized fixings rather than ordinary wall plugs, as plasterboard is too soft for wall plugs to grip securely.
2) The strongest fixing is the Redidrive, which involves drilling a small pilot hole and screwing a plastic anchor into the hole to provide an anchoring point for screws.
3) Other effective fixings include plastic toggles, hollow wall anchors, spring toggles, and hammer-in anchors, which all work by expanding behind the plasterboard for a secure grip. Heavier items are best fixed with Redidrives or attached to wall studs.
Lathe and plaster walls are difficult to securely fix items to due to their flexible nature over time. Cutting out a section of the lathe and plaster between studs and securing a timber batten provides a solid surface for fixing. The batten should be sealed with PVA and staples before filling gaps around the edges. With the right materials, the batten can be disguised or made into a decorative feature.

L'indice de performance des ports à conteneurs de l'année 2023SPATPortToamasina
Une évaluation comparable de la performance basée sur le temps d'escale des navires
L'objectif de l'ICPP est d'identifier les domaines d'amélioration qui peuvent en fin de compte bénéficier à toutes les parties concernées, des compagnies maritimes aux gouvernements nationaux en passant par les consommateurs. Il est conçu pour servir de point de référence aux principaux acteurs de l'économie mondiale, notamment les autorités et les opérateurs portuaires, les gouvernements nationaux, les organisations supranationales, les agences de développement, les divers intérêts maritimes et d'autres acteurs publics et privés du commerce, de la logistique et des services de la chaîne d'approvisionnement.
Le développement de l'ICPP repose sur le temps total passé par les porte-conteneurs dans les ports, de la manière expliquée dans les sections suivantes du rapport, et comme dans les itérations précédentes de l'ICPP. Cette quatrième itération utilise des données pour l'année civile complète 2023. Elle poursuit le changement introduit l'année dernière en n'incluant que les ports qui ont eu un minimum de 24 escales valides au cours de la période de 12 mois de l'étude. Le nombre de ports inclus dans l'ICPP 2023 est de 405.
Comme dans les éditions précédentes de l'ICPP, la production du classement fait appel à deux approches méthodologiques différentes : une approche administrative, ou technique, une méthodologie pragmatique reflétant les connaissances et le jugement des experts ; et une approche statistique, utilisant l'analyse factorielle (AF), ou plus précisément la factorisation matricielle. L'utilisation de ces deux approches vise à garantir que le classement des performances des ports à conteneurs reflète le plus fidèlement possible les performances réelles des ports, tout en étant statistiquement robuste.

Introduction:
In our garage makeover project we had to replace 3 windows. We wanted to re-create the window trim so it
would look like the original, or at least look like the other old garages and houses in the neighborhood.
The Vinyl Window:
One of the windows I installed was a 24" x 36" vinyl new
construction window (about $70 at Home Depot).
While this double-pane single-hung window is sort of overkill
for a garage, there really are not many options available for
plain old-fashioned garage windows.

2. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
The window installation was basic:
q Prepare the rough opening, allowing for a 1/4" gap all around. Lay two shims on the sill.
q Apply some caulk to the back side of the window flange.
q Set the window in the opening.
q Drive one 2" roofing nail at the top right corner.
q Adjust the window position so it was level across the top.
q Drive another nail at the top left corner
q Measure the diagonals to make sure the window was square.
q Drive nails in the bottom, side and top flanges to secure the window.
q Smooth out any excess caulk that oozed out from behind the flange.
Carpentry On The Cheatin' Side Of Town:
I drove some deck screws into the siding, but I
left the heads sticking out about 1/8" (red
arrows). This is the same thickness as the
flange on the vinyl window.
These screw heads will act as a standoff, to hold
the casing away from the wall and prevent the
casing from resting on an angle.
More screw heads at the top.

3. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
I made a window sill from treated pine. This
was simply a piece of knot-free 2x4 that I ripped
at a 10 degree angle on my table saw.
I installed the sill with the angled surface against
the wall, so the entire piece sloped downward
slightly. This will help shed water.
Note that the sill extends over 4 inches beyond
the sides of the window, to accommodate the
side casing.
Of course, this sill is a fake. In the old days the sill would extend back under the sash (the movable part of
the window).
The window with the faker-sill attached at the bottom.
I installed 1x4 treated pine on the sides. The
lower edge of this piece was cut at the same 10
degree angle, so it mated with the sloped sill.
I just nailed these boards with a 2-inch
pneumatic finish nailer. Later I added some 2½"
stainless steel ring-shank siding nails, which
hold extremely well.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (3 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
4. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
The side casing extends to the top of the vinyl
frame.
Sometimes the best way to cut a board like this
is to make the angled cut for the bottom end,
set the board in place, and mark the top cut
where the board meets the top of the vinyl.
After both side pieces of casing were installed,
I installed the top casing, also 1x4 treated pine.
Note how there is primer behind the casing. Prior to installing these boards I scraped off the old paint in the
scalloped grooves, sanded the wood clean, and applied primer. This is just a precaution in case water gets
behind the trim someday. Primed wood is less able to absorb water.
Also, you can see some streaks of primer near the edges of these trim boards. I primed the backs and sides of
these boards prior to cutting. This is another technique I employ to reduce the chances of water getting into
the wood if the caulking fails someday. I know from experience (and from reading) that moisture going into
and out of the wood is a major cause of paint failure. Sealing all sides of the wood (even pressure treated
wood) helps reduce moisture absorption. I now this sounds wacko, but the extra time involved is trivial.
I nailed on the top cap. This is a piece of clear,
straight-grained 1x4 treated pine that I ripped
on my table saw, with a 10 degree angle on both
edges.
I sanded all surfaces with a random orbital
sander, and slightly rounded-off the corners so
they wouldn't be so sharp.

5. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
The completed casing, ready for priming and painting.
Case 2: Aluminum Window, Full Sill
The east side of the garage, before the makeover. Those windows have been
boarded up for years.
One of these windows wasn't even installed straight. All we could figure
was... the original carpenters must have drank a lot of liquor at lunchtime...
nothing else could explain this pathetic sloppiness.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (5 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
6. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
On the inside I pried off anything that looked related to the original window
installation.
On the outside I carefully pried off the trim, thinking that I might want to
reuse it.
I pried away the casing a bit and cut the nails with my
reciprocating saw.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (6 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
7. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
The casing was removed easily.
Only the original window sill remained. I decided to reuse the
sills on these two windows
I pried on the sill to see how it was nailed in place.
They had nailed through the vertical face of the sill, into the
studs on either side of the window.
I removed the paint from around the window opening. I used
the Metabo power paint remover for the flat surfaces, and a
scraper for the grooves.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (7 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
8. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
After the sill was stripped and sanded, I installed two angled
blocks for the sill to rest on. I was careful to make sure that the
sill would end up level, because the window will rest on this
sill.
These were just 2x6 scraps cut at a 10 degree angle and
screwed onto the studs.
The sill had not been fastened down yet.
I coated the back sides of the sill with primer,
installed it, and then painted the remaining
surfaces with primer.
I also dabbed some primer on the bare surfaces
around the window opening. Just in case.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (8 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
9. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
I installed the window.
After applying a bead of caulking all around the back of the
flange, I just set the aluminum-framed window into the
opening, resting it on the sill.
I installed one screw in a top corner, then I measured the
diagonals to make sure the frame was square.
Then I drove in screws all around the perimeter.
Where possible I used screws with a low-profile head, so they wouldn't
interfere with the casing.
Note how this metal window frame has a channel shape. This may be
intended to act like vinyl siding J-channel, to cover the ends of vinyl siding..
I also caulked all the gaps where the scalloped part of the siding met the window flange. This will deter leaks
and discourage bugs from nesting in there.
Using a brad nailer, I attached some 1/4" thick strips of wood around
the perimeter of the window.
These are spacers, but they will also be visible, so I laid them out
carefully so they would line up with the edges of the 1x4 trim boards.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (9 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
10. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
I installed the side casings and then the top casing.
The bottom end of the side casings were cut at a 10 degree angle to
match the window sill.
There were some small pits in the old sill, which I later filled with
polyester resin (essentially Bondo) followed by the final coat of
paint.
I installed the top cap.
(Okay, I cheated... this picture is from the other window, but
it's the same idea)
Where Siding Meets Casing:
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (10 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
11. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
I applied caulking all over the place, especially between the window frame
and the wood casing.
The red arrows point to seams that I later caulked with
siliconized acrylic latex caulk.
The top seam is critical. Ideally I would install an aluminum Z-
flashing over this gap, with one leg of the Z-flashing going
under the next higher siding board.
But... that wasn't possible.
Where the scalloped siding met wood trim, I applied a liberal
dab of caulk and smoothed it with my finger. But often one
application isn't enough.
http://www.hammerzone.com/archives/exterior/trim/window/casing1/traditional.htm (11 of 14)10/03/2005 06:53:51
12. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
I just let the caulk harden for an hour and then applied more to
fill in any holes.
Finally...
The completed project. These are the two
aluminum windows that I installed over the
original sills.
That's the vinyl window with the fake sill, to the right of the red door.
It's a bit bigger than the aluminum windows.

13. Building Traditional Casing For New Windows
Some notes about using treated wood:
Pressure treated yellow pine is an inexpensive and very durable wood. If the paint ever fails, I'm certain the
wood will last many years before it begins to rot. But treated yellow pine is a tricky material to work with,
especially for finish carpentry, because it can warp very badly. They don't call it "Banana Wood" for
nothing.
Since pressure treated wood is soaked in a water-based chemical solution, the boards are often very wet
when purchased. Boards that appear straight at the store often look like hockey sticks or airplane propellers
in a few days.
Thin lumber can usually be forced to lay flat, and it will stay there if fastened well. I don't consider
common nails to be good fasteners. Ring-shank nails or deck screws are good fasteners for holding warp-
prone wood in place.
But my usual approach is to just be lazy. I often buy the materials far ahead of time and store them in a
warm, dry place. It always seems to take a couple of weeks longer than planned before I get around to
using the wood, so the wet pine ends up drying out. If the wood is going to warp, it will warp while it's
drying in my shop. Then I can choose the best boards for the most critical trim pieces. Of course, this
means that I usually need to buy extra materials, because some boards won't be usable for visible trim, but
even the worst boards get used somewhere.
Yes guys, there is a good side to procrastination. Letting the lumber dry makes good sense.
