Tools needed

• Shovel
• Bucket for carrying the mixed cement form the mixing area to the construction area
• Hand float
• Concrete edger
• Hand Trowel

Material needed

• Cement
• Water
• Gravel
• Sand
• Board needed for forming

Instructions

1. Make sure that the surface is clean from any form of leaves or other debris. If the area needs to be washed overnight make sure that it is done and properly dried before commencing.
2. Find an appropriate mixing area.
3. Mix the sand and gravel together by using the shovel.
4. Add the cement to the mix and stir, gradually adding water until the mixture reaches its required texture.
5. Place the concrete mixture in the bucket and take it to the area under construction.
6. Pour the concrete unto the surface and use the shovel to do a rough leveling.
7. Run the forming board above the surface of the concrete so as to properly place the concrete onto the surface. If after using the board to level the surface and you see any sinks or holes in the structure, fill the area with more concrete, and begin the process of leveling with the board again.
8. Let the area set for at least 24 hrs.
9. Sieve sand so that only the refined texture is left.
10. Mix the sand and cement with water to the required texture.
11. Place mixture in a bucket and bring to the construction area.
12. Pour the concrete unto the surface and use the shovel to do a rough leveling.
13. Use the board to once again level the area
14. Use the hand trowel and hand float to smooth the surface, then leave to dry.

Tips and warnings

• Before leveling a surface make sure that you properly assess the area and look for cracks or uneven surfaces. If a crack is found, fill it with necessary crack fillers. For best results make sure that you use masonry crack filler.
• If leveling is required use boards to form or even the area at fault. This way the mixture will not flow over to the other area that you do not need to correct.
• When the concrete mixture is thoroughly mixed it must be used as quickly as possible to prevent setting (hardening of the concrete). Therefore you can mix the sand, stone, and cement mixture and set it aside only adding water to the amount that is needed at the time.
• Team work is necessary when leveling concrete, so it is best to delegate the responsibilities. For instance, you have someone mixing the concrete, another person carrying the mixture to the construction area, and another person leveling the areas. This delegation of responsibilities is due to the fact that once the concrete is mixed it has to be level quickly or it will harden.

Required Tools

• Joint compound
• Coarse sandpaper
• Drywall tape
• Fine grit sandpaper
• Drywall knife

Instructions

1. Begin by applying drywall compound to each joint.
2. Allow the drywall compound to dry.
3. Sand down the drywall compound to a smooth finish.
4. For most jobs, you will need to repeat Steps Two through Four two more times.
5. Tape each sheet of drywall, then fill them with drywall compound.
6. Using a drywall knife, smooth out the drywall compound and move any excess that is still present.
7. Allow approximately twenty-four hours for the drywall compound to fully dry.
8. Use both types of sand paper to complete the job. The fine grit sandpaper should be used to create a seamless transition by blending the wall and the edges of the compound, while the coarse sandpaper should be used to get rid of any excess drywall compound that wasn’t removed during Step Seven.

Tips to Writing a Bibliography

1. You will find it very convenient to devise your finalized bibliography if you monitor each article, encyclopedia, or book you use while simultaneously taking notes and reading.
2. No entry in the bibliography must omit the title and author. If the reference is an article in a periodical, it must also cite the periodical’s name, suitable page numbers, publication date or year, and volume number. In case it is a book, it must also include the place and date of publication.
3. If you are composing your finalized bibliography, arrange your sources – including interviews, articles, and books – alphabetically by the author’s family name. References that do not have authors, such as movies and encyclopedia articles, must be arranged alphabetically by the titles.

Material needed

• Salt
• Water
• Food coloring (optional)
• Table salt/Epsom salt
• Petroleum jelly (optional)
• Paper towel

Tools needed

• Pot for boiling the water
• A clear glass jar
• Paper clips
• Pencil/pop stick
• String

Instructions

1. Boil water in a pot and then pour it in the clear glass jar.
2. Begin to pour the salt in the hot water, one tablespoon at a time, and stir. Reheat the water if it becomes lukewarm before you finish adding all the required salt, as the liquid need to be extremely hot for the crystals to form effectively.
3. If you decide to use the food coloring, add this to the salt mixture at this point. If not go to the next step.
4. Tie the string to the center of the pencil or pop stick, and then tie the other end to the paper clip.
5. Place the pencil on top of the jar and let the string that is attached to the pencil dangle into the water. The end of the string with the paper clip must be closed to the bottom of the jar but not touching the base.
6. Cover the jar with the paper towel to keep out dusk and insect and set the jar in a location where it is undisturbed.
7. Leave in this undisturbed location for at least a week or until the desired salt crystals have been formed.

Warnings and Tips

• Stirring the salt in the hot water is an important step for making the salt crystals grow successful, so do not pour all the salt at once. Stir a spoonful at a time until the water becomes saturated with the salt.
• To know if the water has the right amount of salt needed, all you have to do is look at the side of the glass and if you see a build-up of salt. This is why it is best to use a clear glass jar.
• Use the petroleum jelly to base the sections of the glass jar where you do not want the crystals to form.
• If the jar is left uncovered, insects and or dusk will enter and contaminate your project.
