Dan's Construction and Repair Blog

Hello! My name is Dan and this is my construction and repair blog. I don't work in the industry myself, I have recently used a lot of different contractors during the construction of my home. Construction contractors used machinery to dig and lay the foundations for my home before the walls and trusses where installed. A roofing company installed a metal roof and contractors installed plumbing and electrical utilities. I was very impressed with the results and I learnt lots of cool things during the completion of this project. This blog contains information which will be useful to other people who plan to work with construction contractors.

Do you use a compressor at your place of work? Then you are well aware that highly pressurized containers can be a safety hazard when they are not correctly handled. This is due to the pressure difference on the outside and inside of the compressor, which makes the air expand on one side. When the difference in pressure is not well controlled, the compressor will automatically explode.

While a lot has been done to enhance the appearance and design of verandahs today, the original concept hasn't been lost.
