الحمامات-1

تتشابهة أغلب بيوت الكويتيين من الداخل,نظام توزريع واحد للاضاءة الحمامامت حتى ترتيب الاثاث

بس أكثر ما أستغرب منه توزيع الحمامات, اتخيل ان هناك مخطط واحد يمشى علية الجميع
أعتقد ان السبب الاساسى هو الخوف من التغيير و المشى مع الحل الاسلم السائد
و السبب الثانى ان من يقوم بالتوزيع دائما هو المقاول أو عامل الصحي فى أحسن الاحوال
و الامر فى الحقيقة ما يحتاج مهندس ديكور أو مصمم لخلق ما اسمية ب
the hotel look

ليش حمامات الفنادق دايما حلوة؟
مع اننا نستخدم نفس المواد اذا مو أحسن ببيوتنا

السرو توزريع الاضاءة الغير تقليدى
و توزيع الاطقم

بدل الاكتفاء بمصدر اضاءة واحد أو اثنين عادة
واحد للمرايا وواحد رئيسي

ممكن ان تزع الاضاءة بحيث تخلق شكل غير معتادة علية العين أو غير تقليدى
مثل الصورة بالاسفل

نلاحظ استخدام مصدرين للضوء بقوة اربعين واط او ستين على الاكثير موجه على الاطقم
و عشان لا يكون الضوء ساطع او مزعج..نستخدم مصدر اضاء منخفض و فلورسنت للمرايا
و مصدر بقوة 100 واط للضوء الرئيسي

هالخطوة البسيطة ممكن تغير من شكل الحمام تماما

re-use

أصبحت الاسلاك المعلقة على واجهات المنازل من الخارج منظرا مألوفا, أستغرب من البيوت الجديدة بواجهات أنيقة و ترى اسلاك الستلايت ممتدة من السطح الى الغرف فى لوحة سريالية

معظم البيوت القديمة,من فترة الثمانينات و ما بعد تحوى تمديدات داخلية للتلفزيون و لمن فنيين الستلايت يستسهلون تمديد الاسلاك من الخارج و تخريم الالمنيوم و العذر جاهز

هذى تجربة قمت بها بنفسى لاعادة استخدام توصيلات اريل التلفزيون القديمة لتمديد اسلاك الستلايت
مع العلم ان البيت قديم و مبنى من الثمانينات تقريبا

الاسلاك ممتدة من كل غرفة الى لوحة تجميع و من لوحة التجميع الى السطح

اولا نفك كل مقابس التلفزيون الموجودة بالغرف,مقبس مربع فيه مدخل للاريل
نحدد صندوق التوزيع الرئيسى , و هو صندوق يحوى اسلاك التلفزيون البيضاء عادة يكون على السلم أو قريب من السطح

نرجع للمقابس اللى بالغرف, نلاحظ بعها فيها اسلاك مربوطة بالمقبس نفسة و بعضها فيها اسلاك ممتدة
نقطع كل الاسلاك بحيث تكون الاطراف حرة فى جميع المقابس

بعد تقطيع كل الاسلاك, نبدأ بسحب الاسلاك ببطء
بعضها راح ينسحب بسهولة و بعضها راح يكون صعب مع ملاحظ عدم استخدام القوة حتى لا ينقطع السلك
اى سلك يكون صعب نتركة للآخر
ان شاء الله الاسلاك كلها نتسحب و تكون الانابيب نظيف
بس فى حالة وجود اسلاك ما انسحبت بسبب القدم
نستخدم كبريسور هواء و نضغط الانبوب بالهواء لتحرير السلك
و يفضل تنظيف كل الممرات باستخدام الهواء المضغوط
فى الحالات المستعصية جدا,هناك منتج ممتاز للمساعدة فى سحب الاسلاك

Polywater® CableFree

للتمديد للستلايت..بكل بساطة ندخل ثلاث اسلاك من الطبق الى صندوق التجميع"عرب سات-نايل سات-هوت بيرد"
نركب الدايزك بالصندوق و ليس بالسطح, و من الدايزك ناخذ تفريعه لكل غرفة
بالغرف نركب مقبس الستلايت بدل مقبس الاريل

بالنسبة للطبق, كل الفنيين يخرمون السطح عند التركيب و أغلب ماكل الخرير من هذا التخريم
قبل تركيب الطبق, لو نصب بلاطه اسمنتية صغيرة
ما تكلف شى بس ممكن تغنينا عن مشاكل كثيرة بعدين
نركب الطبق على هالبلاطة بطريقة صح

كل هالعملية ممكن تعملها بنفسك و ما تحتاج أكثر من

wire snake
فى أنواع رخيصة بمركز لوازم العايلة

مفك كهربائى-تقريبا عشرين دينار

كلابتين

----------------------------

الخلاصة ان ليس بالضرورة فنيين الستلايت يكونون هم الاعرف,عادة يدورون الحلول السهلة
ممكن يكون تركيبة ممتاز و الاارة قوية,,بس يكون مخرب لك العازل و مشوه منظر البيت
مع ان بجهد قليل ممكن يكون التركيب صح من جميع النواحى و يتم العمر كله

الاضاءة 1

فى أغلب البيوت يقوم فنى الكهرباء بتوزيع الاضاعة و أقتراح المناسب منها, قد يكون فنى كهرباء شاطر و لكن توزيع الاضاءة يحتاج خبرة و علم من نوع خاص منفصل عن علم الكهرباء
و ليس بالضرورة كل فنى كهرباء شاطر هو خبير توزيع اضاءة شاطر

أغلب بيوتنا تعانى من سوء توزيع الاضاءة و استخدام مبالغ فيه لاضاءة السبوت مما يخلق تأثير مزعج لانها من الاسم تعطى اضاءة محددة و انتشار محدود, فيعمد اعغلب الكهربائيين لزرع عشرات من النقاط لخلق اضاءة كافية
يؤدى هذا التوزيع للحرارة حيث ان هذا النوع يعطى حرارة أكبر من اللمبة العادية, ايضا يخلق نوع من الازعاج للجالس

أغلب البيوت تتحاشى استخدام الفلورسنت فى الاضاءة, مع انه حل ممتاز و عملى ,خصوصا مع توفر النوع الجديد الضعيف اللى ما يستغل مساحة و ممكن ان تستغلة فى مئات الافكار للاضاءة المخفية بدل الاشكال التقليدية

هذا سايت ممتاز لتصميم الاضاءة

the lost heaven

i was shopping for tools and material yesterday from shwaikh, i like to go early around 4 to avoide the traffic.
the best thing about shwaikh is the way it organized it self, every street have a specific shops, so u park ur car o take the shops ` by 1 walking

another great thing is the small shops that bring items directly from manufactures so u fine variety and different items in every shop

Alnisif is the biggest hardware store, it has almost every thing o they have great section for gardening, i spent ams 1 hour in it, over priced a little

the lighting and electrical street located behind "shari3 el zina" has lot of lighting solution, o cheaper than hawlly show rooms.
o u can find good technicians there

next post will be about ABYAT inshallaa

wood

most people mix between the plywood and hardboard and MDF,
hardboard is the worse type of wood to be used in furniture, from expirince i can say it wont last more than 3-4 months, u can use screw in it.
before baying any peace of furniture check the drawers, and ,shelfs.
where most manufacturers use it there.

mdf or "medium density wood" is much better nd reliple, the wood fiber is much smaller and when u cut it o cannot see any gaps, un like the hardboard
and the HDF is much better, but i didnt see any ` use it in kuwait

summer fun

am planning to do 3 projects this summer"inshallaa"

first is restoration of office desk
the second is part ion or paravan with retro look, actually this project is 90% finished ,it need the outer layer which will be a collection of old Arabic movie psters.
the mistake i did is using a solid wood for the inner frame, wich made the partion heavy
this picture after the final assmply in my work shop






the third project is a room redecoration for a 8 year old boy
the theme will be marvel heroes
i will try to explore the possibility's and uses of the LED and the fiber optics.
on a recent project i used LED with plastic hose, the beauty of it is that it give u contunios long light without the small daark spots in between whine u use the floursent light

Textured glass tiles that alter in color with changes in temperature.

What is this?

Color-changing dyes and additives have been offered in paper, plastic and textiles for some time, but this product takes the idea into a new area: glass tiles. Offered in a range of colors and sensitivities, the tiles change color based on ambient temperature, body temperature or water temperature – whatever they’re touching.

The textured glass surface layer protects and highlights the color-change film on the tile. The base color of the tile can match almost any color, and the temperature change point can be fit to the user’s environment and requirements. The dynamic color change begins at the selected activation temperature and shimmers through three phases, one with each 6 – 10° rise in temperature. Once the temperature peak is passed, the base color returns and remains the same until the temperature drops.

The tiles come in six standard lines; each is a different glass texture, and each offers the changing display in different color moods and ranges, all matched by complementary decos and liners. In bath/shower rooms and other areas, the tiles could form beautiful water temperature safety gauges or be a visual room temperature marker. But this technology has also been used in art pieces that transform with temperature changes: In one, a cityscape changes from a day to a night scene, complete with lights. The tiles can be used on floors, walls and counters — and, because they use glass that is 20 – 80% recycled, they’re a green product.

What are the primary disadvantages of the existing technologies that this is an alternative for?

They don’t do anything! Our state of the art products breathes life into stagnant environments, while most all glass, art, and building materials just sit there. Introducing Moving Color technology, either by itself or blending with other materials, achieves aesthetics like nothing else in the world.

Examples of products currently or formerly on the market that make use of this:

Last year we had the opportunity to work with Disney. Together we created unique glass tiles that are installed in the Mickey Mouse Penthouse at the Disneyland Hotel. When Disney’s guests take a shower, the warm water hits the glass, causing the tiles to bloom into color. As the glass tiles change color, silhouettes of Mickey Mouse appear around the perimeter of the shower.
