How to Make Patio Cushions For Outdoor Furniture
Instead of going to the expense of buying new outdoor furniture and patio cushions why not update your existing garden furniture by making some new cushions. If you make your own outdoor cushions you can get the exact size, design and level of firmness and comfort you are looking for - and save money too!
To make patio cushions, you do need a bit of skill with the sewing machine but otherwise they are pretty straightforward as patio cushions are simple shapes.
1. Measure Your Chairs
Measure the seat width to get the width of your cushion. If the chairs have arms then measure the part of the seat inside the arms for easier fitting of your cushions. Then measure the length of the chair from the top of the chair back (or wherever you want the cushion to start) to the edge of the seat.
2. Decide on the Thickness
If you are replacing existing cushions, use these as a guide - do you want your cushions just the same or a little thicker. If you don't have existing cushions you will need to decide how thick you want your cushions to be. About 1 - 1.5" is about right for most chairs to add a layer of comfort.
3. Buy Materials
Buy a piece of foam for each chair in the thickness and level of firmness you require. Remember that if you have a classic chair the cushion will need to bend where the seat meets the back of the chair so make sure the foam is pliable enough for that. Use the foam to estimate the amount of fabric you need. Remember to include measurements for each cushion, front and back as well as sides and seams. Choose your fabric and buy matching zippers for the cushions which are two to three inches shorter than the longest edge for easing fitting of your cushion pads. Remember to choose tough weather resistant fabric for outdoor cushions.
4. Create a Pattern and Cut the Fabric
Draw a pattern using your foam as a guide - create pieces for top, bottom and each side of the cushions and mark the additional allowance for seams. Cut out the pieces for each cushion
5. Sew and Stuff Your Cushions
Sew your fabric pieces together inside out to form the cushion covers sewing the zippers along the middle of the longest sides and using double rows of stitching to reinforce seams. Turn the cushion covers the right way round, open the zippers and put the foam inside the cushions then close the zippers. Test the cushions on your chairs. If you find they slide about too much add tie tabs to the cushions so that you can keep the cushions in place.

Building the Best Subwoofer Speaker Box Enclosure For Your Car Or SUV
Box Building
Each type of sub requires it's own type of box. If a sub is installed in a box larger or smaller than what is supposed to, it will sound distorted/bad and could be destroyed. Boxes can be built in many shapes, but it is important that the box volume is calculated accurately to achieve maximum performance.
Materials
A box MUST be very sturdy. Most common building materials are 5/8" or thicker particle board or medium density fiberboard. If building a box with Plexiglas, do not use anything less that 1/2 inch thick. A common material used to mold complex shaped boxes is fiberglass, but it is very hard to work with, and require several layers for a smooth finish.
Gluing, Sealing
Glue should be used at all joints to fill any spaces. Any spaces will degrade the performance of your subs, not to mention the annoying noise air makes when being pushed out of a small hole. On applying the glue, let it cure for at least 24 hours before mounting the subs. This is a precautionary measure to protect the rubbers used to make the subs from the high fumes that some manufacturers glue products have.
Holding Joints Together
In connecting box joints, it is best to screw the joints every four inches or so using 2" - 2-1/2" screws. Pre-drill about 3/4" deep, so that screws do not split the wood at the edges, especially when working with particle/dashboard.
Should I have a Box for Each Sub?
It is advised to have a separate chamber for each sub. Even though not necessary, here are two reasons why such a directive should be taken: First, if one of the subs blows, then the volume of the box will be "twice" as big for the one remaining working sub. This could cause problems and even damage the other sub. The second reason is bracing. Building a box with a divider in the middle will make the box more rigid.
Ports
Ports must be built into your box design to channel out the air made by the sub's vibrations. If a pre-made port is not available, the most common material is PVC. PVC is very rigid, comes in different diameters. Cut the tubing at the desired length. Consider the volume the port takes up when calculating the box volume. Cut a hole in the box. Make sure the hole is as perfect as possible to minimize gaps between the box and the tube. A couple wood braces can be added for screwing the port top the box. Seal the gaps using a proper sealant (Evo Stick or even silicone can be used).
Bracing
Boxes that are more than a foot in width or length or height, should be braced so that the box becomes more sturdy. This can be accomplished with a piece of wood maybe 3 or 4 inches wide across the box). It is a good idea to put wood blocks on the corners for reinforcement. Always consider that blocks, braces, neon lights, etc. inside a box take up space and should be accounted for when calculating internal volume.
Damping/Filling
Damping increases subwoofer efficiency by dissipating some energy that affects the sub, particularly the voice coil. It is advisable to put damping material inside a box. Pillow polyfill and fiberglass insulation are common, though polyfill is a lot easier on your skin. Polyfill also "tricks" a sub into thinking it is in a bigger box. Play around with different amounts of polyfill until you get the desired results.
Making it look professional
Make the box surface free from holes and spaces by adding wood fill. If you decide to paint the box, then you should apply primer first. Carpet or Vinyl padding is the best covering to use since they easily cover any outer blemishes on the box and give the box a 'smooth' outlook. Be careful when cutting the vinyl or carpet since such cutters tend to be very sharp. Cut a piece of carpet (or vinyl) big enough to cover the whole box. Apply adhesive to both box and carpet (EvoStick works great). Wait about a minute and place the fabric over the wood. For the best fit, stretch the fabric when applying it. The fabric should wrap around and end in a place of the box that will not be seen. Do one side at a time, cutting excess carpet. If possible, add staples preferably heavy duty staples that can penetrate the box, to hold the fabric at the ends. NOTE: Do not cover each panel of the box before mounting it together since it would be impossible to find any 'leaks' that may exist in the box design much less fill these leaks.

Hiatus Hernia - What You Need To Know
Can you make the symptoms of hiatus hernia go away? Well you can't make them disappear overnight but there are methods that can reduce your symptoms and prevent further problems. You can achieve this by making small but significant changes to your lifestyle. Here are a few techniques that will help you.
If you're overweight or, dare I say it, obese, try to lose weight. First of all check to find out your ideal weight. Then try to reduce your calorific intake in order to shed those excess pounds. Regular exercise will help you loose weight as well as making you feel better all round. Your doctor or personal trainer should be able to advise you on the best method.
If you smoke, try to stop, or at least cut down, as smoking increases the risks of reflux problems. Remember you are not on your own with this problem. You can get help from your local Health Centre where counsellors are available to help you out. And ceasing or cutting down on smoking produces other health benefits too!
Eat small, frequent meals, rather than occasional large meals, and take the last meal of the day at least three hours before bedtime. This gives the digestive system the chance to do its work quickly and more efficiently. Overloading the stomach is a major cause of hiatus hernia symptoms. Also try to eat a diet low in carbohydrate and fat. Try to avoid spicy foods, caffeine, fizzy drinks, alcohol, chocolate or acidic foods.
Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothes. Hiatus hernia can be caused or intensified by pressure on the abdomen. So do not use tight belts, or tight fitting garments as they exert an undue strain on the muscles.
Avoid bending over, abdominal exercises and strenuous exercises or heavy work. Do not lift heavy weights as it can tear or damage the muscles as well as putting undue strain on the heart. Do not attempt to shift furniture. This is a major cause of ruptures, back strain and muscle problems. Try to get somebody young and fit to help you.
Have the head end of your bed raised by about six inches (10 cm) with something sturdy and solid. (Remember what I just said about moving furniture!) This will prevent the contents of the stomach from overflowing into the esophagus. Do not use extra pillows as this may put extra pressure on your stomach.
If you're stressed, try some relaxation techniques such as meditation or deep breathing, as your symptoms get worse when you are under stress. Yoga is an excellent form of stress relief but be careful not to strain the body or to take up a position that involves bending over.
Hiatus hernia can be a terrible problem but if you use these techniques you can lessen the symptoms and reduce pain and discomfort. The secret is to take care of the body and reduce stress and strain. Remember if you take care of your body, it will take care of you!

Creating the Casual Living Room Furniture
Living rooms don't have to be the formal affairs they once were, with the overstuffed sofas, expensive lamps and grand window treatments. These rooms in recent years have gone casual, looking more and more like the family rooms of old.
Casual living room furniture has been a big reason why this has happened. Manufacturers have found that casual furniture can really brighten up a home and create a space that gets far more use than the living room of old.
Creating the look you want with casual living room furniture isn't that difficult, if you follow some basic guidelines.
First, the emphasis is on comfort. The furniture needs to be welcoming and above all comfortable. While formal rooms are all about style and statement, you want to create a casual environment that is soft and supple in color, style and design. You want visitors to sink into the casual living room furniture, instantly relaxing and feeling at home.
The space shouldn't be overly loaded with furniture; instead it should feel cozy. Even a cavernous great room can have that casual feeling, if you create sensible groupings of casual living room furniture. Don't be tempted to create a singular seating space in the case of a great room. Break it down visually into one main entertainment space and one or more smaller conversation groupings.
Instead of going with darker, more formal colors, go with neutral tones accented by brighter pillows and walls. Make it lively and energetic, mixing and matching tones and fabrics in your casual living room furniture. Same goes for the walls. Go bright, not dark.
Use area rugs to define the different spaces. Make sure that each piece is inside or at least touching the area rug. This ties everything together visually. In fact, area rugs are one of the easiest things you can do to give a room an instant makeover.
There isn't a single style of furniture called casual living room furniture. Instead, it is more about the ambience you're creating in the room. Think of the ideal vacation home when coming up with design ideas. If you look through home and garden magazines, study what these homes look like. You want to recreate the feeling that you are on vacation or on a retreat. This is what makes a living room feel casual as opposed to formal.
When shopping for the right furniture, balance your efforts between brick and mortar and online stores. Often it's easier to shop online for casual furniture as you can use search words to narrow your search. For example, you can enter phrases like "tropical living room furniture" or "overstuffed sofa" and get just those items. In a traditional brick and mortar store it may take time before you stumble on a casual approach to living room furnishings and even then your favorite pieces may be in entirely different rooms, making it hard to see how they go together.
With online stores you can copy and paste the different pieces onto a single page and print them out to get a better sense of how they tie together.
Keep in mind that when you're trying to create the ideal casual living room space you want to avoid the dark colors, dark woods and ornate embellishments that can make a room seem more formal.
That said, don't avoid color all together. While you can never go wrong with neutral colored stuffed pieces - the sofa, sectional chairs - you can use brightly colored pillows to kick them up a notch. This is also a smart use of your budget since the neutral furnishing never go out of style and should you want to go with something more formal down the road, you only have to change the accents, not the furniture itself.
