    Selecting A Cold Rolled Steel Sheet With The Right Surface
    The surface finish for steel can affect how resistant the steel is to corrosion. For example, a coarse polished finish will have grooves that allow for the gradual accumulation of chloride ions. This can lead to corrosion. The importance of surface finish is determined by a variety of factors, including whether the steel will be used in a corrosive environment, like a coastal location. Usually, the process of creating cold rolled sheet metal will produce steel that has a better surface than hot rolled steel, but there are several methods that can be used to further improve the surface.

    Which Type of Forklift Will Work Best For My Project?
    The basic style of a forklift does not change much from one model to the next. However, you do have some options that will help a forklift to handle different working environments.

    The forklift revolutionized the movement and storage of freight by enabling it to be moved from different heights. This enabled ships, freight trains, and trucks to be loaded and unloaded without an excessive amount of manual labor, and allowed the freight to be stored vertically, which greatly increased storage space. However, its humbler cousin, the pallet jack, moves tons of freight each day, into spaces where forklifts cannot go, and with an ease of use that requires no certification or training.

    Why Underground Power Lines Aren't Always The Answer
    Losing power is a real pain when it happens.  Weather is usually the cause for widespread power outages, whether it is spring storms with strong winds knocking trees into power lines or winter storms with heavy ice that causes limbs to fall into power lines.  Other outages can be caused by vehicle accidents or animals wreaking havoc on the lines.  With these power disruptions, people may ask why their power company doesn't just bury power lines like some municipalities are doing.

    Is Water Flowing Slowly? Clean Out Your Own Ventilation Pipes
    If you have slow-flowing toilets and drains, the problem may be your drain ventilation pipes, and you could possibly fix the problems on your own. These are the pipes that stick out of the top of your home, and they get clogged with leaves, acorns and other debris. The air pushes through the tubes and pulls the water through your plumbing system into the waste pipes or septic tank. If air can't pass through, this can cause slow drains.
