The gable roof is probably the most common style for American houses. The famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright once said, "The average homemaker is partial to the gable roof." So he designed one, for the Ladies Home Journal, which called it "A small house with lots of room in it." Gable roofs are basic, with a center peak and a slope on each side to the outer wall. They are easy to build and effective.

Trunks are a versatile piece of furniture that function as storage containers, but also make interesting coffee tables in lieu of a traditional table. If you've found a plain trunk that fits the parameters of your intended project, you can easily upholster it with a piece of faux leather, Naugahyde or canvas -- it just takes a little time and patience. After you're finished, you'll have a piece of furniture that matches your decor.

Hydrostatic drive has become increasingly popular as a transmission strategy for a variety of utility vehicles. It is used in every lawn tractor sold in the 2000s because of the almost infinite variability of its output speed. Because hydraulic hoses are easily flexed in normal operation, it is much easier to build vehicles that do not require shaft couplings to get rotational force to go around corners. Hydrostatic transmissions make it easy to build unique-wheeled vehicles such as a rugged outdoor wheelchair.

Fossil fuels are commonly used to create electricity. In some cases, alternative biofuels are used to supplement fossil fuels. Municipal waste and mud coal are two of the more common alternative sources of heat used to produce electricity. With 30 million tons of dried leaves being disposed of in landfills every year, dried leaves could be a good secondary source of fuel for electrical plants. Home steam turbine set-ups can use dried leaves in place of fuel or wood.

Plastic plates may become stuck in kitchen pots and pans when they are of similar size. In most cases, simply moving the plastic plate will dislodge it from the inside of the pot. However, plastic plates can become wedged inside and be difficult to remove. Cutting a hole in the plastic plate may create a point you can use to remove the plate. If cutting a hole in the plate to create an anchor point does not work, you may choose to apply heat to warp and dislodge the plate.

Selecting the type of fence to build is a matter of available materials and personal preference. While wood slat, aluminum and even plastic fences are more common, log fences are charming and durable, lasting many years. If you live in an area with abundant fallen trees, logs are an inexpensive building material. Split rail fences are a type of log fence, but they require more work when built from scratch than a fence made from whole logs.

The use of cloth to create shade is not a new practice. Huge sails of cloth covered the Parthenon in ancient Rome and ancient Egyptians created shade structures as they trekked across the deserts. Using modern materials such as blue tarps and EMT (electrical metallic tubing) conduit, you can create your own shade structures that can give you a welcome respite from the heat of the sun. Preparation Blue tarp can help you make a EMT conduit shade structure.
