If your house is old enough to have plaster walls, chances are that it is also too old to have sufficient insulation. The only way to insulate these walls without removing the plaster is to blow insulation into them. Fortunately, this is easy to do, but you should be aware that plaster walls usually do not have a moisture barrier. Without one, the insulation may get wet and clump at the bottom of the wall.
Live loads are also referred to as "dynamic" or "moving" loads in contrast to static or dead loads, which do not move. The structural mechanics of a live load on a subfloor are such that as the load moves, it creates force in other directions than vertical.
Calculating live loads is critical to design. Live loads also involve considerations such as impact, vibration and momentum. This type of load is temporary, so the capacity of a live load is usually much higher than that of a dead load.

Fans can cool a room without consuming a lot of electricity.
The oak tree has played a vital role in man's development from the very beginning to modern day. Used for food, shelter, warships and modern homes and decks, oak displays resilience and strength beyond many other types of wood. However, exposure to the elements, such as sunlight, wind and precipitation, will weather the oak, giving it a dull gray color over time. This process, known as oxidation, can leave small marks or can encompass the entire wood project, ruining the beauty of the wood.
