Custom Cedar Dog House – Advantages of Building Your Own Wooden Dog House

No one knows whether dogs actually prefer dog houses or not. But cedar dog houses are one of the most common materials used to build dog houses. If you have a large sized dog in your home, then a custom cedar dog house is needed.

However, buying large wooden dog house is often not easy as not many pet shops or online stores sell large custom dog houses. The most practical way is to do it yourself. There are several doghouse plans you can find online.

You can then simply pass it to your contractor to build one for you or do everything yourself. One advantage of building your own custom cedar dog house is that you can decide on how big or small your doghouse should be.

You can even build a custom cedar wooden dog house large enough to accommodate two or more dogs.

So after you build the dog house, where should you place it?

Most people put their doghouse at the back of the house. However, it may not be a good idea. This is because dogs are social animals and love to be near humans.

By placing your doghouse at the back of the house or away from humans, most dogs may not even want to stay in their dog house. That is why I recommend placing your dog house in front of your house or at the side of the home.

The dog house should also be jacked up off the ground, preferably with slabs underneath the foundation to trap airspace. It aids in insulation and can help keep your doghouse warm during winter months.

For wind insulation, you can install a flap in front of the dog house. Lastly, make sure to keep the doghouse clean by making sure waste material and urine are not near the doghouse. I

f you want a comfortable home for your large sized dog, then building and maintaining a custom cedar wood dog house is recommended.

Bonsai Tree - Black Pine / Pinus Thumbergii Tips And Information

Hello all bonsai devotees. How are you? My name is Suhendra. I want to tell you my experience on how to keep, treat and create black pine bonsai. Perhaps this experience is only suitable for tropical area and I hope those who plant black pine will also have different experience to share. I have tried to plant black pine since 5 years ago (around 1980) when I got the seed from a friend traveling abroad.

I have known and fallen in love with black pine bonsai, since I had learn about bonsai for two years from a foreign book on how to treat and create bonsai by practicing directly, so that I gradually master it. When I learned that book, I saw a picture of black pine and Cemara (Juniperes) bonsai that were so beautiful and robust. Even more so the black pine with its cracked bark so that it looked old, antique and elegant. According to Taiwanese bonsai grower, black pine could live in both winter and summer. In those seasons, its leaves are still green and thriving, so that we can call it evergreen tree. From books I have read, I'm sure that this tree could grow in tropical area. From that time, I had been determined to get that kind of tree and tried to plant and grow it in Indonesia.

In the mids of 1980 I and my elder went to Taiwan to attend an international exhibition of bonsai. While looking for special new trees to enrich the variety of bonsai in Indonesia, from Taiwan I brought home some kinds of bonsai that I'd been always seen on some foreign bonsai books that we couldn't find in Indonesian market (before 1985). They are: Hokkian Tea (Carmona mycrophylla), Pyracanta (Pyracanta Grenulata), Ulmus (Ulmus Parfiflora), Karet Kimeng (Ficus Microcarpa). After buying those bonsai, one thing I shouldn't forget to be my prime target of searching is Black Pine. Setting aside my pocket money for returning home, I spent the rest to buy various kinds of pine, starting from seeds, young trees, half-grown bonsai, and grown-bonsai.

Some Taiwanese bonsai grower told me that Black Pine (Pinus Thumbergii) grows best compared with any other kinds of pine they plant. There are three kinds of Black Pine:

1. Those with long leaves (which is generally spread out in the market).

2. Those with short leaves (Seu Sung).

3. Those with mini leaves (Zuen Sau Hei Sung).

The three Black Pines are the most preferred by Taiwanese bonsai grower to be dwarfed. Beside that, I have learned some techniques on how to plant and treat black pine that I want to share with you.

PROCESS BEFORE PLANTING

Coming home, I had all my trees washed because it's forbidden to bring the soil from Taiwan. This is the regulation among countries to prevent the spread of plant pest. Then I opened the plastic cover of mos (soil substitute covering the root so it stays moisturized along the trip) one by one. After that all the roots that had been cleaned from mos was soaked with plant vitamin or organic fertilizer liquid for about one hour. Last thing to do was to keep the plant out of soaking liquid and planted it on the pot.

MEDIUM FOR PINE (Suitable for Casuarina=Juniperus too)

3 bg sand of 1-2 mm (do not use powder sand) +

1 bg loose soil (Do not use sticky soil such as clay, etc.) +

1 bg humus (or compost to substitute humus).

After being mixed well, it can be used to plant (you can see how to plant in a pot on article of Loa Variegata). I've got a little story about sands. In around 1990 in Indonesia there has been found a kind of pit sand (pasir gunung) from perimeter of Malang, so that it is called pasir Malang (Malang pit sand). This kind of sand was found by hobbyist and raw-material (bakalan) bonsai hunter in the nature. The specialty of this sand is clean and has no powder or waste. We may say that it's been free from pests and germs that are usually found on soil or pit sand. So there's no need to have it washed it anymore and it has pores to keep water and air. There are several kinds of plant that are better being planted on this sand rather than any other media, i.e. Santigi (Phempis Acidula), Cemara Udang (Casuarina Equisetifolia), Black Pine, Cemara, etc. Naturally Malang pit sand is beneficial for bonsai hobbyists and some devotees of ornamental plants such as cactus, adenium, sansivera, etc. Then I use this pit sand as composite for media to plant Black Pine and other bonsai.

PROCESS AFTER BEING PLANTED

After black pine is being planted in a pot, the trunk always has to be tied tightly into the pot so that the tree is more stable. It's because any repotting tree is in critical period. Its root hasn't been converged with its new media so that it hasn't been normally functioned. Moreover when we cut some of the roots and new roots grow, the latter is still easily snapped off if it is shaken, and the tree will be possibly died. After being tied, put it in the shade then water it perfectly (until the water comes out of the pot bottom hole). Let it be there for about two, but please not to let it be too wet or too dry. We'd better to keep it a little bit dry than to keep it too much wet, in order to prevent its root from getting rotten. This will be different from what we should do to growing black pine (see the description below on watering). After two weeks the trees will look healthy and strong with its green leaves. Now it's time for the tree to have sun bath gradually. Then wait until new bud comes up, which is a sign that its new root has grown and the tree is ready to have a full sun bath.

There are some bonsai hobbyist who don't know the media and the planting process, or don't have much patience in planting and treating black pine (which is different from maintaining ficus or any other kind of bonsai). Doing treatment improperly will lead to the death of black pine. When this happens, they will easily say that black pine could not be planted in Indonesia or will be dead if it's being re-potted. The worst is when there are bonsai hobbyists and sellers who has just seen black pine picture on bonsai books tell the same things. This makes bonsai newbies or collectors being defrauded and don't want to treat black pine.

TREATING GROWN BLACK PINE BONSAI

The pruning (cutting the leaves), can be done when we see the old leaves has been grown yellow or looked a little bit dull. We can do it in two ways: shearing or pulling out. The best way is the second one, that is gradually pull out the old leaves. To prevent pulling out the whole group of leaves, use your left hand to hold the lower end of the leaves group, and use your right hand to pull out the old leaves one by one, and leave the young ones. If you prefer the first way, shear the old leaves at about 1 cm higher from the leaf stalk. This is to provoke the new bud from the rest of those old leaves. Unfortunately, shearing will leave brown traces, and these unsightly traces will stay there for months before they disappeared.

To keep the twigs and the leaves short and dense (to avoid disfigured or to keep the good shape), do the following:

1. Gradually pull out the old leaves every year.

2. Cut the twigs, small twigs, and new buds once every two or three years. This is to keep the shape from being undesirable. Two or three new buds usually come up once a year naturally. Cut off the very thriving (big) bud and the very weak (small) bud by shearing from the lowest part. Leave the moderate growing buds until they release their new leaves. Then cut it at the length we intend to. Two weeks later, there will come up the second bud from the trace of cutting. If it is needed, do the same to the second bud, so that we will get the third bud. The second and the third buds will create the short twigs and leaves. This theory is he same with bonsai tree that will have big leaves in the country but after making it bonsai planted on the pot by cutting its leaves several times, the leaves become small such as Sancang (Phemna Microphylla), Beringin Karet (Ficus Ratusa), etc.

3. When the leaves of the new bud have grown, do not cut off too many twigs when the leaves of the new buds has blossomed because in this phase, the trace of cutting will release much turpentine (sap) that will possibly kill the tree. The best time to shape and shear the twigs is when we start to see its old leaves (looks yellow and dull). This shows that this tree is stop growing temporarily and is saving energy before releasing its new buds. It's the safest time to prune black pine by pulling out or shearing, and cutting the twigs too, because it's the strongest period of the tree.

THE WAY OF REPOTTING / CHANGING THE SOIL OF BLACK PINE BONSAI

The process of repotting bonsai to be black pine can be done once in three or four years, because black pine's root grows slowly. Do not repot before two years because its roots haven't been old enough. If we repot after 4 years, the roots will be too dense in the pot, and this will retard its growth and fertilization.

Please repot this way. After pulling bonsai out of the pot, we may see the lump of root that has been converged with the soil. Throw 1/3 part around the lump by scraping the soil and shearing the roots that is too long. Then put it again into the pot with the medium described above, by scraping, so the tips of the old roots can directly penetrate into and converged with new medium. This will guarantee its life after repotting. Don't even repot by cutting or sowing the lump of soil and root flat as if we're slicing the cake and then plant it again. This way make the old root lump covered by the new medium, causing an undistributed heat in the lump and will finally make the root rotten.

According to my experience in planting black pine, we shouldn't do pruning while repotting. Once my gardener didn't follow my instructions. When I went out of town and didn't supervise him, he was repotting and pruning at the same time. This caused some half-grown black pine trees died.

In Indonesia which has two seasons, the best time to repot black pine is between the end of dry season and the beginning of rainy season (around the beginning of September), but pay attention to black pine condition too. Repotting should be conducted when new bud has just come up before the leaves blossom. When the leaves have blossom, then the tree will be weak and the risk of repotting will be bigger.

Well, that's my experience on treating black pine bonsai. Hope it'll be useful for those who want to treat or collect black pine bonsai.

Western Red Cedar Wooden Garden Furniture

Cedar can be used to meet your construction needs for outdoor furniture and garden products. Different garden furniture items like Adirondack chairs, arbors, and patio tables, potting bench, porch swings, garden benches, outdoor furniture cushions and loungers are used in outdoor spaces. Western red cedar is a type of evergreen conifer, a species of Thuja. Yews, redwoods, larches, spruces, pines, kauis, firs, cypresses, cedars, junipers, Douglas firs are some of the typical examples of conifers.

A conifer is a plant with vascular tissues. It is a seed bearing plant. A great majority of conifers are trees are woody with just a few of them being shrubs. A conifer belongs to Cupressaceae, the cypress family with a worldwide distribution. There are about 130 to 140 species including 27 to 30 genera. The bark of the trees which is mature has a stringy texture and is orange to red brown in color. The bark often peels or flakes in vertical strips and is scaly, hard, and smooth and square cracked in some of the species.

Dimensionally stable:

Cedar wood is a dimensionally stable and lightweight. The wood stays flat and cool and has the strength of the oak, making it one of the most desirable types of wood for making outdoor garden furniture items. This material is excellent for use in moist and humid climates. It is advantageous to buy Western red cedar wooden garden furniture for the outdoors. Products made from red cedar do not sag or bow over a period of time, nor do they fade or become dull by getting scorched in the sun. Also if you are interested in teakwood garden furniture it is sure to hold its aesthetic appeal for many years. As far as garden furniture for the outdoors is concerned, it is a safe and a healthier choice to have cedar products, both outdoors as well as indoors. Rattan garden furniture is also a very popular choice with many home owners.

Best natural alternative:

In comparison to chemically treated wood, cedar is one of the best natural alternatives for your construction needs, especially outdoor garden furniture. Most of the wooden garden furniture available for the outdoors today is treated with chemicals. Products are soaked in stews of toxic chemical preservatives which are very strong and hence require labels for all those handling these chemicals. While pressure treating wooden garden furniture there are three primary ingredients used, namely chromium, copper and arsenic.

A lot of controversy has arisen to the large extent of arsenic exposure caused due to physical contact with wooden surfaces. Even if inorganic arsenic is not absorbed through the skin, it is readily taken in by ingestion as shown in various studies. Most vulnerable to such kind of a risk are children, who can pass the chemicals by hand to mouth and in such a case Rattan garden furniture can be an interesting choice. But by far, nothing to beat the versatility of cedar! Organic and humble, it lasts like heirlooms, enriching the garden space by the day.

About the Author

As compared to wood which is treated chemically, cedar is a natural alternative in furniture along with teak garden furniture. Hence it is a better idea to use Western red cedar wooden garden furniture instead of the commonly explored alternatives.

Easy Home Loans

These days its fact that its not hard to get home loans. Either its home equity loan or its mortgage loan and availability of easy home equity loans is in full bloom. These loans are uncomplicated, tenable, easily available, very flexible and tailor-made for homeowners. The best part about all this is that almost every loan lending or financial institution offers them.

Most home buyers have to borrow money in order to purchase their home. Few have enough money sitting in the bank, or in other easily saleable assets, to pay the entire cost of the home at once. (Even those few who do have enough money usually find it financially advantageous – perhaps for extra tax relief -- to borrow some of the money.) The home loans they receive is called a mortgage. Generally, a mortgage is a loan of money to the home owner secured by a "lien" on the real estate.

Own house is the dream of every person. For a middle class person, it is considered as a life time achievement as it requires quite a huge amount of money. Banks play a pivotal role in fulfilling this basic need. The products they offer and the services they provide are of immense use to people who intend to have their own house. For a safe and beneficial home loan, proper awareness over the products, policies, terms and conditions of the bank is most important as ignorance may result in more payments to the bank in terms of principal and interest components.

A mortgage is a security document that allows the borrower to keep title of the property while using the property as security or collateral for a loan. The lender then places a lien on the property in the event the owner does not pay the agreed payment. When the borrower pays off the loan, the lender gives the borrower a satisfaction of mortgage that removes the lien from the property. About half the states in the U.S. use mortgage foreclosure as the means of satisfying the loan balance.

Mortgage allows investors to pool money in a trust to lend to individuals and companies. They secure their borrowing by a mortgage over residential or commercial properties. The trust collects the interest paid on these loans and then distributes the interest, less charges, as income to investors.

Borrowers should bear in mind that there are two different kinds of mortgage points-discount points and origination points-and that lenders do not all charge the same amount for these different types of points. Discount points refer to an amount of money paid to a lender to obtain a loan at a specific interest rate. These points are like pre-paid interest on a loan that a borrower takes out for a new home, with each point equalling to 1% of the total principal amount of the loan. Origination points are used to pay for the costs of obtaining the loan in the first place. They are much less popular than discount points, as they do not provide borrowers with any valuable benefits and are not tax deductible. Borrowers are therefore better off trying to get a loan that does not require them to acquire these kinds of points.

Compare Cedar Deck to Ipe Decking

When it comes to decking, both cedar decking and ipe wood are very popular choices. However, when it comes to long term sustainability, appeal, and value, nothing compares to ipe decking.

The reasons for this can be found in the hardwood themselves. Ipe lumber is denser than Cedar decking. This density is very important to take note of. Because ipe wood is extremely dense, an ipe deck will be more resistant to mold, mildew, rot and decay. On the other hand, cedar wood is much softer than ipe. To prove this, all you have to do is compare the Janka Hardness scale. Basically the Janka Hardness measures the force that is necessary to penetrate a piece of wood decking. When comparing cedar to ipe, you will find that the Janka Hardness of Cedar is significantly lower than that of ipe. This is important because your deck ages, gets used, and is subject to the elements, a cedar deck will show more wear than an ipe deck.

You should also know that cedar can show knots, imperfections, and without proper maintenance will perform poorly over time. However, ipe wood, thanks again to its extreme density look better and less worn over time. Of course, it’s a good idea to use proper decking oil for the first and second year and, depending on the environment, you may be able to treat your ipe deck every other year. Cedar, on the other hand requires increased maintenance and more attention because it is softer and subject to common problems found with mediocre decking.

When you compare the look of ipe to cedar, you have to consider the future. Cedar can often turn from that welcoming and rustic red-reddish-brown to a grayish and sometimes darker look. On the contrary, ipe wood, if left untreated will age gracefully to a silver-like patina. Another reason why ipe decks are a better choice is because, when it comes to insect and decay resistance, by far, ipe is vastly superior. Mold, mildew, and insects like termites have a much easier time thriving on cedar sapwood and some less than acceptable heartwood. However, due to the natural oils and dense nature of this premium hardwood, an ipe deck more naturally resistant to those common decking problems.

Ultimately, for many people, the bottom line is important. Yes, cedar is generally cheaper than ipe. But, as the old saying goes, “You get what you pay for.” Over time, the return on investment of cedar deteriorates just like the wood does. Ipe decking on the other hand has a much greater return on your investment because of less maintenance and treatments. Also, the likelihood that you’ll have to significantly repair or totally replace a cedar deck is much greater than if you spent the time to invest in ipe decking.

By far, when you take into consideration the facts, ipe wood is better than cedar wood. Of course, you must always work with a professional deck builder and lumber company before you move ahead with your deck building plans. Best of luck building the deck of your dreams!

Cedar Chests, How To Make Them $14.48 PREFACE that the popularity of the cedar chest as a cabinet making project has reached con BELIEVING siderable proportions, the author has endeavored to embody under one cover all information necessary to the design and construction of a variety of chests.

Acknowledgment is due to the Forest Service for the use of the illustrations in Chapter I, to two of the authors students, Otto J. Teegen and James A. Kelly, for the great assistance rendered by them in the preparation of the drawings, and to the Metro- politan Museum of Art, New York City, for permission to reproduce photographs of historic chests in its collections.

V The Finishing of Cedar.... 54 VI Copper Trimmings .- 31 58 VII Matting Boxes.... 66 CHAPTER I Red Cedar The botanical name for red cedar suitable for chest construction is Juniperus virginiana, or Southern Juniper, as it is familiarly known. Com- mercially, it is sold as Tennessee Red Cedar. There are other cedar woods but none of them should be used in chests if the great advantages of cedar are to be derived. Southern Juniper may aptly be called the wood imperishable, since, under ordinary conditions, it will never de- cay. Placed as shingles with copper nails, there is little doubt but that it will last for ages, or until the attacks of rain and wind have weathered it away. Until recent years one of its greatest uses has been in telegraph poles, fence posts, greenhouses, etc., where constant contact with damp earth would soon rot away a less durable wood. Now, since the rapid rise in the value of red cedar has almost prohibited this use, cypress, the wood eternal, has largely succeeded it. LOG HOUSES OF RED CEDAR When America was settled, one of its most valued natural resources was found in the red cedar belt of the South. Settlers migrating to this region found the straight cedar logs perfectly suited to cabin construction, consequently the best trees were felled and utilized in the building of Americas first homes. As time went on and the settlers prospered, the logs were taken from the houses, and assembled into barns, frame construction taking their place in the homes. Today, these old logs, perfectly preserved, are purchased by lumber men, as some of the most select red cedar lumber is manufactured from them. A great many of these old logs have been cut up into lead pencil slabs, as cedar is the best wood that has ever been found for lead pencils. It is straight grained and easily cut with a knife the two necessary...
