A well is a great addition to a garden. When made from stone, it gives the landscape the feeling of a country garden. This versatile addition can be filled with soil and used as a large planter filled with trailing summer flowers. Consider making a cross-piece in the roof to hang a wooden bucket. Fill the bucket with bright flowers to catch the eye. To build a well from stone, start in the morning on a day without rain. You do not want the cement to dry out before the well is finished.
It can look a little lonely, a refrigerator, dishwasher or other appliance sitting by itself, or stuck to the end of a row of cabinets. Almost like an afterthought and so very out of place. Building a wall -- either appliance-high or from floor to ceiling -- and positioning it on the appliance's sides helps provide a built-in feel. You can even place a small section of countertop on the top for extra work space. Best of all, you can customize the look by doubling the wall thickness and placing shelves in from the opposite side.
Across the upper Midwest, little doorways peak out of hillocks, reminders of another time, when farm families made their own cheese and stored autumn vegetables for use during the cold winter months. Root-preserving humidity stays high, and temperatures range from the mid-30s to mid-50s, depending on season and management of these buried cellars. Use the slope of a hill near your home to build an energy-saving, food-preserving room. Recycle railroad ties for the framework of your old-fashioned cool root cellar.
The simplest stoop consists of one layer of bricks in front of the door to the house. Stoops that are more elaborate have several steps leading up to the door.

You can build simple ultralight aircraft for children from foam, or you can build large ultralight radio-controlled aircraft for flying in large, open parks. Hobby and specialty companies offer plans and designs, many specifically for foam-based designs. With the first, simple design, don't be afraid to experiment a little, setting the wings at slightly different angles and tilts. Some probably won't fly at all, while others are good at particular tricks, such as loops and dives. Foam is cheap, so use the first design to learn about aerodynamics so you can develop more complex designs.
Beginning to rope using a roping dummy is a necessity so that you can save wear and tear on your calves, get familiar with the moves, and create muscle memory that will serve you well when you finally set your cow pony at a young steer. The roping dummy will work well with both the beginning stages, when you will work standing near it, and the intermediate ones, where you train your horse to behave while you're occupied with the rope.
The Unified Modeling Language provides developers and software teams with a standard vocabulary for expressing software and business models. When developers build software applications, they do not immediately start programming. Depending on the development methodology involved, there can be several stages before coding actually begins. UML allows developers to define models in which they create abstract system designs, before implementing these designs in code.
Though a star is a common shape, it can be difficult to construct. Achieving all of the points in equal measure is tricky for many people, especially children who need to construct the shape for a craft. You can reduce a star down to a basic shape -- the triangle -- to simplify construction. Once you fashion the basic shapes and arrange them to create a star, you can further trim or mold the material to suit your needs.
Pulleys and hoists use the Archimedes principle to mechanically assist with awkward or heavy-lifting tasks. These devices use a wheel to amplify the effort that the lifter inputs into the lifting mechanism, meaning that the energy that is produced by the mechanism is used more efficiently. Hoists can be made simply and inexpensively at home using pipe and a pulley wheel. Concrete is useful for anchoring the hoist system, but it is important to ensure that you never attempt to lift an item from directly under the hoist mechanism. Always make sure that you are lifting from a position where…
A Leyden jar is a primitive form of capacitor invented in the mid-1700s. A capacitor is a device that stores an electric charge. It comprises two electrodes separated by a nonconducting dielectric, or insulator. In the case of a Leyden jar, the insulator is a glass or plastic container, and the electrodes are metal coatings on the inside and outside of the insulator. When you apply an electric charge to the inner electrode, the insulator prevents the electricity from discharging. This attracts an equal, opposite charge on the outer electrode. When a conducting material bridges the gap between the electrodes,…
Fireboxes take the brunt of the heat created by the burning fuel. A firebox is made of refractory material such as firebrick, which can withstand heat up to several thousand degrees. Although it is possible to mix your own mortar (fireclay and water), you can purchase a professional mix from a refractory material distributor in your area. The design can be simple or complex. You are essentially building a three-sided box made of firebrick. The front is left open to load the wood.
Catapults, by definition, are machines used for hurling large stones used in ancient and medieval times. Although you won't be able to hurl large objects with a straw catapult, make a catapult to relieve stress by hurling paper into a garbage can or at your fellow co-workers.
Rocks take a lot of time and effort to accumulate in one place, but if you have more time than money, they can allow you to build a chimney that costs very little. Because chimneys need to be built of materials that aren't flammable, your choices of appropriate materials are limited. Rocks can create a durable and attractive chimney that is far less expensive than one built of brick.

The sliding filament theory explains how your muscles contract. The theory was put forth in 1954 when researchers observed changes in the sarcomere, the contractile unit of muscle. To understand the sliding filament theory it is helpful to have an understanding of the microscopic muscular anatomy. There are hundreds of sarcomeres in each muscle fiber and within each sarcomere there are contractile proteins, known as filaments. There is the thick filament, myosin, and the thin, rope-like filament, actin. These filaments slide over top of each other, which causes the muscle to shorten, producing a forceful contraction.
