Do you know how many tiles are on the Sydney Opera House?
.. ... ...

It’s a staggering 1056006 tiles.

I’m glad it’s not my job to go up and check on that lot!

Don’t wait for heavy rain and driving winds before you remember your solid wood front door needs some attention.

Suggestion for your front door:

Decide on your look - natural stained wood or painted - and get your tradesman booked in while it’s warm and sunny (and you don’t mind the door being open for work to be carried out)!

Thanks

Can you name the UK’s tallest building...
.. it’s The Shard.

But bonus points if you can guess how many panels of glass make up the facade of the iconic structure...

It’s 11,000. I definitely won’t be helping to wash the windows anytime soon!

💡💡Did you know... now you do💡💡

Time to tidy up your exterior walls.

A good job to be getting on with during lockdown is painting your exterior wall(s). Choose your masonry paint, get it delivered to your door and freshen up the back wall to brighten up your garden space for the summer ☀️ ahead.

💡💡Did you know? 💡💡

Concrete has been the most popular building material throughout history!

Concrete has been used for some of the most famous structures like the Roman Pantheon. In fact, the Ancient Romans created their own special concrete that we’re barely learning the ingredients to (the secret ingredients are lime, seawater, and volcanic ash!).

At the time of its creation, the Hoover Dam was the largest concrete structure ever built, using more than 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete.

Currently, the Grand Coulee Dam is the largest, using more than 11,975,521 cubic yards of concrete (for comparison, modern housing uses an average of 66.5 cubic yards).

Didn’t know... you do now. 😊

💭 Looking for a bright idea to use up a delivery pallet, rather than just breaking it up...

Use it as a readymade shelving unit for your garden tools in your shed or garage. 💭

💡 💡 Did you know? 💡 💡

You sometimes see these ‘wavy’ brick walls in the countryside... And odd as it may seem, this shape uses LESS bricks than a straight wall.

That's because a straight wall that is one brick thick is not sturdy enough to stand alone. For that reason straight walls always have a thickness of at least two layers of bricks and often more, and are also reinforced at regular intervals with vertical posts serving as buttresses.

But a wavy ‘one-brick’ wall works due to the arch support provided by its shape, which combines both wall and buttress.

Didn’t know... well now you do 😊.

Thanks
