Designing Flood Resistant House
| No one wanted his house flooded. Though still the dry season, we’d better get ready to face the rainy season. How do the trick?
Factors such as rainy weather in Indonesia is not anything special. Given Indonesia is a tropical country which has high rainfall levels. What else in the area of big cities like Jakarta, which split thirteen rivers, especially the potential experienced flooding. So, what if you live in big cities like Jakarta, which is feared would flood every year? Aspects of the early planning of a building’s important role.

Try not to build houses in flood prone areas. Therefore, you must identify the ecological system around your residential area. Design a building foundation that is located higher, at least 40 to 50 cm above the street front of your home.
Height of the house was easy to distinguish if your home is still in its early stages of development. However, what would happen if the house was designed without any preparation for flooding.
Raise the height of the floor so the final solution, but the calculated distance of the ceiling. Try not to get too close to the head of adult males. Raised interior floor has different consequences entrance height so that inevitably you have to make small steps. Or it could also elevate the house starting from the front area of the fence. However, this alternative is more costly due to the additional height is comprehensive. In other words, the garden landscape will change completely.
Another way is much easier and efficient, which is making its blockade on the terrace. This should be a last resort or for the prevention of emergency (temporary) alone. Because tricks like this have less aesthetic value, the beauty of the facade will be reduced and look strange.
The next trick is more aesthetic, namely by making ornamental pond in front garden. However, this one trick that can only cope with minor flooding. Try to make the pond deeper and more spacious so it can accommodate the overflow of water. The risks, you should bother moving your ornamental fish when floods come.
However, what may be created if the flooding had become unwanted guests in your home. Therefore, the houses were built as high as anything, it still floods will disrupt your convenience.

There are some simple steps you can do. Simple solution is to make recharge wells in the area of the house or around your neighborhood.
Another way you can do is to plant crops other than grass. So in designing a home, you should leave the green land for water catchment. One of the plants is very important when the rainy season is the bamboo plant. Bamboo tree can absorb water in large quantities so it can function as a buffer (anchoring). Just imagine, a bamboo rod with a diameter of about three millimeters can grow three feet in the next 24 hours, but the bamboo grown.
If your house is already flooded and there are parts of a damaged house, you do not hesitate to consult with contractors. Besides, you still have to consult with contractors associated with the renovation would be done.
Compared to the work itself is time consuming and costs more, the contractor would know more about the technical aspects and details.
Beautiful Of Glass Vase
Vase as an accessory in nearly every home. The model also continues to follow the trend. Translucent or transparent, even from the crystal was more and more popular.
Bored stiff with the ceramic model, why you do not glance at the glass vase? Vases of this type are not merely high slender crystal with many profiles. But has evolved into many models and colors.
Many are choosing glass vase, particularly those requiring the element of color, yet not too heavy.

Special price commensurate with quality crystal. For a vase measuring 30 cm, crystal cutting techniques are taken accurately to get the perfect texture and motif.
Appears an opinion that glass vase can give the impression widely in the home. The opinion was not entirely correct. But give the impression lighter. Glass material, especially the nodes can be softened.
Use a vase now not merely as a place to lay flowers. The more creative, more and more that can be applied. Like putting dry twigs in the sand, filled with colorful hydrogel, making rainbows in the newfangled convex vase, or just leave blank.
Options form vase kinds, without any interest we can expose any of its forms.
Colored vase, such as magenta, fuschia, and blue, by itself is already pretty small in size dipajang.Jika, vases of different colors can be arranged in rows and storied.
In addition to glass, there’s a kind of material is acrylic. The form also with the existence of clear synthetic plastic. Most models for the solid square and less water. Mengakalinya, acrylic boxes can be filled with sand or gravel that has been colored.
Crystal vase can look pretty with extra touches. Like a big ribbon wrapped cloth, the easiest thing done to change the face of the old vase. Keep in mind, choose a matching color ribbon with flowers or any color to an empty vase.

Island table in the kitchen area was suitable to be placed clear vase. While for large vase, no harm is placed in the larger table as a dining table.
Do not be put on the floor because the vulnerable. Especially if there are small children at home. For security purposes, should be placed out of reach of children.
Caring and Maintaining Outdoor Lighting
Lights are installed outside the home (outdoor) is often neglected. In fact, these exterior elements need proper care and maintenance.
| As the name implies, outdoor lights are specially designed to be placed outside the home. In terms of form is not much different, but the outdoor lights have a much stronger resistance than indoor lights. | ![]() |
Because outdoor lighting is placed outside the home that in fact often in direct contact with heat, cold, wet, dry, durability has been designed to be resilient against the weather. From the physical aspect of indoor with outdoor lighting is usually no difference. Outdoor lamp is made with good density in each gap is addressed so as not exposed to rain water.
Even if there is an open model, usually either the lamp or electrical parts sealent closed. For example chandelier model with clam shell design that is often installed in-entrance part of the facade. This lamp looks very vulnerable retain water. However, the bottom has been designed to be impervious to water.
Open lamp model like this is also usually easy to clean because due to frequent dust and water, and not infrequently gross fast lamp shells, so easy to clean without having to disassemble the lamp.
Garden lights outdoor lighting category, the designs have been adapted to the place of the course in the park, such as paint, materials, and weather-resistant design.
However, as a reminder, too, if not impossibility indoor lights installed in outdoor or vice versa, outdoor lights installed in the indoor. Because, basically, the more it determines the positioning is the design.
Laying the outdoor lighting designs that fit in the house is fine, which is important not to be strange, for example, a standing lamp used in the middle of the park, but put in the corner of the house. Essentially returned to power and coherent artistic appropriate match.
Once you understand the differences of indoor with outdoor lights, now we will discuss one by one trick or treating and tips in its layout. Caring for outdoor lighting (including lights inside the park) is not difficult, must be periodically maintained, ie by cleaning the shell.
For example light classical style garden, usually a wavy design, this is often save the dust and if a good quality paint will not easily rust on the sidelines of storing water.
For open-access lid so the lamp bulb assembly, clean the inside of the dust collected. Often the dust settles, exposed to rain water so causing black spots, it is not difficult to clean, just need to wipe, but if left will reduce the lighting and the lights look so dull.
Parts of the outer shells, clean them regularly. Moreover, the rainy season like now, right now, try two weeks. If it seldom rains, at least once a month cleaning. Materilized part of iron, provide layers of stainless. Can also before reinstalling painted using oil paint, usually stronger on the water and heat.
If it had started to rust, should be repainted. Before you start painting, go to the light bulb and a part made of glass. If the glass is made permanent, not losing my mind, use the cover of a newspaper, give the tape at the border of the glass with iron (the part that wants to paint them).
If the material is made of steel chrome lamps, there is no easy way you can do. The only way is to re mengkrom, if you plan to change how it looks with materials and paint, it will be vain. Chrome layer can not be painted, for a moment would have to peel, especially if it hit the outside air, you should not.
Small garden Under the Stairs
Under the stairs area during this often utilized as toilet or storeroom. In fact, pretty little park could adorn this area. Like what form?
Park under the stairs could be one alternative that sniper when the house was very limited land. Especially if the toilet and warehouse space you have, the park could be a good choice.
| Type the park very much. Start an indoor garden, outdoor, dry, wet, and so forth. Park under the stairs can be categorized as an indoor garden or an outdoor garden as well. Depending on the ladder is positioned where, inside the house, or outside the house building. Most people hesitate to make the park under the stairs. In addition to the narrow and cramped spaces, often less sunlight reached the area under the stairs. As a consequence, so damp and affect the growth of the plant itself.
The most common obstacles faced when creating a garden under the stairs is limited sunlight, but it can actually be solved easily, provided you know how. |

Actually designing the park under the stairs is not difficult. Staying find out what plants need, then adjust the condition, the owner, that’s the key.
What is meant by the plant needs is light, water, soil, and fertilizer. Likewise with the room temperature. Because if a room under the stairs intersect with areas affected by the AC, then this will affect the moisture received by the plant. Thus, will influence the form of treatment that we should do.
While the state is the condition an owner is how the shape of the room, good light, the habit of treating (intense or not), and position / location of stairs, whether seen from a place that is often used as a means of family or guests who gathered to see the living room.
Now we get into the most important requirement of the park under the stairs, ie sunlight. Of course you also understand how big a role the sun to the plants. For that, try to plant your loved ones get the right supplies in the house though (under the stairs), though.
Enough sunlight or less and who directly or indirectly, must be considered. His name was also something unusual in the outdoors was moved to the indoor, at least he got the atmosphere (plants) must be the same.
If the sun is up in the area under the stairs are not sufficient or not to directly, should quickly be overcome. For example by making holes or jalousie window openings that lead to outdoor.
If it can not direct outdoor access, at least there who can deliver the opening nearest the sun. From this position of the sun access, will determine what crops can be grown in the area under the stairs. Is distinctive dry and wet crops.
If enough sunlight, then you can at will choose the type of dry or wet gardens. However, if on the contrary, only dry garden plants that you can maintain. For example if the park is dry, the plants in pots, if you can use a wet garden plants that shade and not flowering.
If later you choose a dry garden, which could be a reference design is a park with an array of coral. The composition of coral is very suitable to the crops potpotan. In addition to requiring no soil media, the coral will absorb waste water from the pot.
Another trick is to use a water element. If your house is very low humidity, while you want to park in the dry bottom of the stairs, can be tricked by making a small pond.
Magnitude of the pond is highly dependent on the existing space. Do not be too big or too small. Origin proportional course, also the composition with the plant. Do not let the greatness of the pond, the plants just a little, so the park is no longer under the stairs, but the pool under the stairs.
I hope this little information can be used as a reference you to process functions under the stairs area. Once again do not forget, the light of the sun so it is most important for plants in the garden under the stairs in the house.
