Everyone wants to save money. When deciding to build your own home, you could strongly consider a rammed earth house. This technology has been around for thousands of years. Some of the greatest lasting structures have been created using this technique, which is quite cost effective and environment friendly.
Rammed earth homes have their outer walls made of condensed earth and clay. They are pounded or “rammed” down into a dense hard material. You can then stucco, paint it, or leave it natural.
Building a railing around the edge of a deck or above ground pool is a great project for the hobby DIY person, it combines carpentry and building within a relatively easy project that is both useful and extremely satisfying to build.
In some localities a deck or above ground platform that is 40 inches high requires a railing to prevent accidental falls over the edge, high enough to cause broken bones in most people, or at the very least a serious strain.
Building a railing on a platform that was not designed to take one can be challenging, and may require a fair bit of modification to fit the posts. Most of the strength of a railing is in the posts, so the timber needs to be strong, a minimum of 3×4, straight, and securely attached.
