Termites are the most damaging pests in the world. They are very tiny, too small to see by the naked eye but their power is in their numbers and the speed in which they break up wood. Once termites start grinding away in one area it is difficult to stop their progress, thus resulting to significant damage to homes and other valuable property. If your home is attacked by termites, it is critical to destroy them right away to keep damage controlled. Termite damage to homes can cost up to thousands of dollars and can have an effect on the resale value of the home. Signs of termite damage can be any of the following: 1. Affected areas give out a hollow sound when tapped 2. Wood is smashed up easily when punctured 3. A build up of granular gray-brown residue in damaged areas. The best treatment is prevention, so it is good advice to have the home inspected for termite infestations regularly. It is sensible to take into account that once termites have infested your home, it...

Book DescriptionMinimalism, the inspiration of art and wide spaces, lightness and an effective show-casing - these are just a few of the elements that link the Case Study Houses of architects Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen, Richard Neutra, Craig Ellwood etal. to the present day and contribute to their ongoing fascination and influence on housing concepts. Numerous previously unpublished ex- and interior illustrations are supplemented by detailed research carried out locally into current forms of occupation and life-style, alterations and conversions, as well as the significance of the Case Study Houses for today's understanding of building for residential requirements.

The lakeside home represents its owner's love for the outdoors and passion for life on the water. Houses by the lake are designed to maximize the flow of air, the use of sunlight, and the views of the landscape. These Great Lakes homes range in style from converted barns and Prairie Style houses to modernist inspired dwellings but each is always a reflection of the style, taste and interests of their owners. The houses featured here illustrate an experimentation with materials and an economy of design. Residences are designed to be practical-many can "close up" during adventures in the out-of-doors and travels-and they exhibit an open-minded style in which to live. Great Lakes houses are modern yet sufficiently warm and inviting to provide comfort for life here. Capturing the universal desire to live on the water, the book will speak to waterside homeowners everywhere, and especially to residents of the seven U.S. states and two Canadian provinces that border the Great Lakes. With...
