Do-it-yourself

It goes without saying that a home in good condition, well-kept, and visually appealing has a much higher chance of selling-both at a higher price and faster than one that needs some maintenance.Remember that first impressions always leave a lasting impression, and real estate is the perfect example of this.Naturally, this does not imply that in order to sell your house, you must start a significant remodelling project. There would be no assurances that you could even recover the costs of a project this size and scope.

Yes, you can love keeping-even cleaning-your home.Let's be real. Homemaking is harder than we thought it'd be. Others make it look easy, but we end the day exhausted with so much left to do. We feel unprepared. This book will shift your perspective on homemaking and guide you through six steps to competently and cheerfully manage your home. Our homes matter because people matter, and homes are where people are built. Being overwhelmed and paralyzed by perfectionism is optional. We can make progress. If you are a Christian woman who wants to honor God in the way you keep house, this book is for you, no matter how much clutter or chaos currently surrounds you.

Der Ratgeber gibt praktische Tipps, wie durch Eigenkontrollen und Wartung der technischen Anlagen prophylaktisch ein möglicher Schaden durchaus verhindert oder minimiert werden kann. Manche technische Anlagen und Einrichtungen werden sehr ausführlich behandelt, das aber nur deshalb, weil Recherchen ergeben haben, dass viele Nichtfachleute nur sehr geringe Kenntnisse von der Hausinstallation haben. Hauseigentümer sind aber dennoch für die Einhaltung aller Gesetzlichkeiten, die für diese Anlagen gelten, verantwortlich. Mit dieser übertragenen Verantwortung hat der Gesetzgeber erkannt, dass auch die heutige moderne Technik Schwachstellen hat. Sie ist kein Selbstläufer und benötigt deshalb unsere volle Aufmerksamkeit. Der Ratgeber bringt eine Zusammenfassung aus der Praxis für die Praxis zur Vermeidung von Unfällen und Störungen an der unmittelbar genutzten Technik. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf private Wohnhäuser und kleine Unternehmen. Durch die in diesem Buch behandelten Themen sollte es möglich sein, besser einzuschätzen, was man in Eigeninitiative erbringen kann und wo der Fachmann eingreifen muss.

La planificación de las obras ha sido uno de los aspectos más descuidados en el sector de la construcción, ya que las decisiones se toman a medida que surgen los problemas durante la ejecución. Como consecuencia, las obras suelen presentar deficiencias en términos de organización y seguridad, lo que crea una imagen negativa de las empresas en el mercado y un distanciamiento de los clientes. Considerando la necesidad de que la planificación de una obra siga procedimientos estructurados, este trabajo presenta una explicación de los parámetros considerados en la elaboración de un proyecto de obra y su importancia para el transcurso de la misma; se analizó una obra en la ciudad de Natal/RN, buscando evaluar la situación actual de la obra y cómo sería si se hubiera construido considerando todos los parámetros que se estudiarán, con el fin de permitir que hombres y máquinas trabajen de forma segura y eficiente, principalmente minimizando el movimiento de materiales, componentes y mano de obra.

Die Baustellenplanung ist einer der am meisten vernachlässigten Aspekte in der Bauindustrie, wobei Entscheidungen erst getroffen werden, wenn während der Ausführung Probleme auftreten. Infolgedessen weisen Baustellen häufig Mängel in Bezug auf Organisation und Sicherheit auf, was zu einem negativen Image der Unternehmen auf dem Markt und zu einer Distanzierung von den Kunden führt. In Anbetracht der Notwendigkeit, dass die Baustellenplanung strukturierten Verfahren folgt, werden in diesem Beitrag die Parameter erläutert, die bei der Ausarbeitung eines Baustellenprojekts berücksichtigt werden, sowie ihre Bedeutung für den Ablauf der Arbeiten. Es wurde eine Baustelle in der Stadt Natal/RN analysiert, um die derzeitige Situation der Baustelle zu bewerten und festzustellen, wie sie aussehen würde, wenn sie unter Berücksichtigung aller untersuchten Parameter gebaut worden wäre, um den Menschen und den Maschinen ein sicheres und effizientes Arbeiten zu ermöglichen, vor allem durch die Minimierung der Bewegung von Materialien, Bauteilen und Arbeitskräften.
