How much of a gap do I leave when installing hardwood floors between a brick fire place?
Feb 07, 2008 by hondo | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I am installing hardwood floors in my house. I know you need to leave a gap in between walls for expansion. I was planning on using trim to cover the gaps. I have a brick fire place that I will not be putting trim on do I still need to leave a gap??If so how much??
about 3/16ths of an inch or so

yes, definitely, with the heat from the fireplace (and even without it) the wood floor is going to expand/contract, just leave a small gap, you should still cover it with quarter round on the bottom of the baseboard if you don't want it to show

If the wood has been acclimated to your home prior to install, leave no gap at all. I have argued this with a number of people. I'm a builder in Mass., and all the homes that I have built or remodeled, the hard wood butts tight. I have been in 100 year old homes, and the floors look fine.

Where can I find a klin with technology to fire clay brick by using old tyres and waste product?
Jul 16, 2007 by Safari X | Posted in Other - Business & Finance
I am starting a business manufacture clay bricks at Tanzania. I need to build a Clay brick factory(small scale production about 7 million bricks a year). The factory will need production machinery and equipment for brick production. It will also use a technology of firing brick by using old tyres and waste products. I am looking for supplier of low cost machine and equipment to build the factory. Also I asking for any advice and information on how to use old tyres and waste product to fire the bricks
There is a cement company in the Scottish borders that uses the technology you are talking about to manufacture cement. Contact Scottish Enterprise for more information about this.

Best way to put a stone veneer over a dated brick fire place? Mortar direct on brick or use lath first ?
Nov 17, 2007 by dave c | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
We want to put a a cultured stone or slate veneer over our dated brick fireplace. Would it be best to mortar directly on the brick or nail lath onto the brick surface first and then put a mortar coat on the lath...or screw up hardebacker and mortar cultured stone (or tile) to that? Thanks in advance
You have the right idea, I would use some tap-con screws and attach the backer board to the brick and existing mortar. And then set your material to that, no problem.

What is the best chemical/formulation to use to clean brick that were smoked up in a house fire?
Jan 12, 2008 by GentleBachelor | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I am restoring a house that was damaged in a fire. I want to save the brick that was smoked up in the fire. I am looking for a chemical or formulation that has been successful in cleaning fire damaged brick. I would expect to use a high p/h detergent but this is some tough stuff and has resisted common cleaners. I want to use a presure washer, and avoid scrubbing as much as possible. .
First, you need to use a strong caustic material. You are correct in assuming a high p/h.
You do not want to power wash, that destroys the basic surface of brick and renders it vulnerable to further damage from smoke and dust. IE it removes the natural protective layer from the kiln firing. It is really bad policy to clean brick and concrete with power washers. I see a lot of that going on and not enough info out there on the severe damage that is doing to the brick and concrete. What it does is remove that protective layer from the surface and renders it vulnerable to much more damage or dirt attraction than ever before. Dont do it.
Acid, is inactive against an oily material such as smoke discoloration. That is basically "tars" from the wood. So dont use acids. And certainly, a solvent such as mineral spirits would allow the tar to leach further into the brick.
The solution is to use caustic soda. That is available cheaply and readily in the form of spray OVEN CLEANER from your local grocery store for about $ 2 to 4 a can. Buy the cheapest one, non brand at like Krogers.
Spray the surface with the Oven Cleaner. Wait till it is nearly fully dry. Then take a wet spong to it and clean what ever came off and rinse with detergent and clean water. Let it dry and bit and give it another dose of the Oven Cleaner. It will take 3 to 4 doses of this to remove it but it will defenitely do the job for you.
When you are finished. You can seal the brick with a brick sealer and prevent that from happening again. This material is composed of high molecular weight Silicones and works quite well for an application such as yours. The cost for a gallon is quite high, its in the range of about $18 or so, but it is well worth it to protect your fireplace from further smoke damage.

The 2011 Report on Burned and Unburned Magnesite-Chrome, Chrome-Magnesite, and High Fires Brick and Chrome Brick: World Market Segmentation by City
List Price: $795.00
Price: $795.00
Product Description
This write-up was created for global strategic planners who cannot be purport with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a "borderless beget", cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This statement covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated store size (in terms of latent demand) for each outstanding city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their dimension as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic territory (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the comprehensive world market.
In performing various productive analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to inquire into the market potential for various products and services across cities. The mean of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a motherland and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of deployment within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not exemplify a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or crucial planner, a city represents an area of assertive influence over markets in adjacent areas. This affect varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.
In what follows, I summarize the mercantile potential for the world's major cities for "burned and unburned magnesite-chrome, chrome-magnesite, and strong fires brick and chrome brick" for the year 2011. The ideal of this report is to report my findings on the real budgetary potential, or what an economist calls the latent sought after, represented by a city when defined as an area of influential influence. The reader needs to realize that latent without delay may or may not represent real sales.

Product Description
This econometric analyse covers the world outlook for burned and unburned magnesite-chrome, chrome-magnesite, and drugged fires brick and chrome brick across more than 200 countries. For each year reported, estimates are premised for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the provinces in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent split the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks deduct the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using econometric models which scheme fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent consumer estimates are created. This report does not talk over the specific players in the market serving the latent customer acceptance wanted, nor specific details at the product level. The lessons also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might stir realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in constitution, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products convoluted.
This study does not report actual sales evidence (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent procedure in virtually all of the 230 countries of the world). This scrutinize gives, however, my estimates for the worldwide latent command, or the P.I.E., for burned and unburned magnesite-chrome, chrome-magnesite, and intoxicated fires brick and chrome brick. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the just ecstatic's regional and national markets. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over things (positive or negative growth). In order to travel these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on cosmopolitan strategic planning at graduate schools of responsibility.
