GE ovens, like other manufacturer's ovens, come equipped with a timing/temperature buzzer, which sounds an alert once a timer ticks down to zero or the desired preheating temperature is reached after being set by the user. The audible alarm buzzer can be disabled by the owner if he feels it is unnecessary. This is not a difficult task to accomplish and requires only a few common hand tools to complete.
Few things are more welcoming when driving mile upon mile across the prairie than a huge entry gate announcing the ranch you've been looking for.

Exterior gutters made of aluminum, steel, or copper often require soldering to hermetically join the individual sections together.

Soldering gutters is similar to soldering water pipes, using the same tools and following similar precautions.
Cleaning and Prep Soldering gutters is a permanent way to join the sections together. The ends of the joins must be clean and bare to properly accept the flux and solder.

The ranch house and craftsman’s bungalow have some similarities, including easy access to the yard.
The craftsman home has simplistic, earthy features inside and out. Things You Will Need + Gables Covered porch Depending on the designer and the decade in which your ranch-style home was built, its simple architecture might consist of a low roofline, multiple small windows, an open floor plan and centered entranceway, making it a basic, blank canvas ready for change.
Some standard roofing materials, such as metal and shingles, are unsuitable for roofs with a low pitch, or slope. Roll roofing, or rolled roofing, material is a common solution to this problem on low-sloped roofs that do not require great structural strength, such as those of garages, porches and sheds.
Minimum Slope The minimum slope requirement for mineral-covered roll roofing material is half an inch per foot (4 percent). Organic roll roofing can be installed on roofs with a minimum slope of 1 inch and, while asphalt roll roofing can be installed on a 2-inch slope in an emergency, a minimum slope of 3 inches is recommended.

In a tandem garage design, multiple cars are parked inside the garage end to end, rather than side by side as they are in a traditional garage design. Tandem designs are much less common than traditional designs, but a tandem garage can help to maximize garage space in situations where a traditional design won't easily fit.
