Article: Pick an outdoor space that receives little to no shade in order to maximize solar drying. Utilize the air by selecting an area that is open to prevailing winds or other air currents. Avoid areas prone to flooding, runoff, and/or standing water.  Refer to almanacs or weather stations to determine the direction of your region’s prevailing winds. If your land is especially hilly, expect air currents to move up and down the face of hills. If possible, plan to stack your wood in a single row, with the cut ends receiving the strongest air currents head-on. Favor this method over multiple rows. Enable all of your wood to receive equal air circulation. If space does not permit one long row of wood, space your row as far apart from each other as possible to allow the most airflow between them. Keep your firewood off bare ground. Avoid rot from moisture that collects below. Use material that won’t absorb water, such as concrete or a grid made of poles laid horizontally. In a pinch, use wooden materials like pallets or lumber that you have no other use for. Make the bed as level as possible for safer stacking. If you use wood, line the top of the bed with tarps, plastic sheeting, or similar materials to block the transfer of moisture from the wood underneath to the wood on top. At the same time, create drainage holes in the materials so water doesn't pool on top. First, begin your row by placing the bottom layer of split wood along the length of the raised bed. Arrange each piece so that all of the cut ends face the same direction. Then, at either end of your row, create a second layer with the cut ends facing the opposite direction. Continue building up both ends of your row by alternating the direction that each layer faces in order to create stable bookends.  You can either build the ends all at once or build them as you go. If you build them all at once, stop once they are approximately four feet (1.2 m) high. This way, the top of the pile will still be below head-level for most adults in the event of collapse. Use your “best” pieces for the bookends. With each piece of wood, check all sides for evenness. Discard any that noticeably tapers from one end to the other. Such pieces may result in a less stable structure. Keep the bark of each piece facing up. Since bark resists moisture, this will help shelter the exposed wood from rainfall. Begin your second layer in between the bookends. Arrange the cut ends so they face the same direction as the bottom layer’s. Set each piece so that it covers two pieces in the bottom layer by straddling where the two bottom pieces meet. Repeat until the pile reaches four feet (1.2 m) high.  Place each piece with the bark facing up to shelter the exposed wood from rain. Use smaller pieces to fill gaps, when needed, for stability. Leave gaps as they are for better airflow if the layer is strong enough to support the next. Decide whether you are fine with leaving the pile as is or if you want to protect if from rainfall. If you decide to cover it, use black or clear plastic sheeting. For best results, support the sheeting with materials other than the pile itself (such as stakes or poles) so they don’t come into contact.  Direct contact between the sheeting and wood allows the wood to absorb condensation from the plastic. It also reduces airflow and could result in tears in the plastic due to friction. Black materials absorb heat and accelerate evaporation. Clear materials allow direct sunlight. Unless you have a lot of rainfall and/or a very short drying season, leaving your pile uncovered should still result in dry firewood by the time you need it.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Choose an area ideal for stacking. Map out your row(s). Create a raised bed. Build bookends. Stack your wood in layers. Cover if desired.

Problem: Article: Using the right paint is very important. Water-based paint like acrylic, watercolors, or spray paint will not work at all, especially if you’re painting bathroom or kitchen tile. You can use commercial tile or ceramic paint, oil-based paint, colored epoxy, enamel, or latex paint. If you are painting an intricate scene or design on your tile, you'll most likely need several different sizes of brushes. If you are painting a large bathroom wall, for example, you can use a larger brush. Lay out cleaning supplies, sandpaper, and protective gear. You'll need to take a few precautions to prevent injury or paint spills in your work area.  Lay a tarp down on the floor to prevent paint from dripping on it. Line the edges of your work area with painter's tape. Keep damp rags nearby in case you need to fix any mistakes. Open windows or bring a fan into the room for ventilation. Wear a painter's mask to avoid inhaling fumes. If you're working in the kitchen, move food to another area to prevent contamination.
Summary: Purchase ceramic, epoxy, enamel, or latex paint. Choose the best brushes for your project. Set up your supplies and protect your work area.

Get on the East Line train from Hung Hom station, Mong Kok East station, or Kowloon Tong station. This line will take you north to Shenzhen. From Hung Hom, it is a 45-minute journey. The train will either take you to the Lo Wu border crossing or the Lok Ma Chau border crossing.  The cost of the ticket can vary based on the station you got on the train and whether it is peak hours or not. The ticket typically costs around $40 HKD ($5 USD). Purchase tickets in advance here: http://www.mtr.com.hk/en/customer/st/index.php. The immigration checkpoint you choose depends on where you want to go and how much time you have. Lok Ma Chau has shorter lines but Lo Wu is closer to the main shopping district. The ferry will take you to Shekou Cruise Center and Ferry Terminal. Ferries leave about once every 1-1.5 hours, and it takes an hour to reach Shenzhen. Buy tickets online here: http://www.cksp.com.hk/en/.  The cost of a ferry ticket is $140 HKD ($18 USD). This makes a pricier option, but it is convenient if you need to go to the Shekou area of Shenzhen. Customs at this ferry terminal tend to be quicker than other immigration checkpoints. Unlike normal taxis, these cars are authorized by the government to bring visitors across the border. The driver will take you to the border and pick you up on the other side once you have passed through customs. Identify them by the yellow “Cross Boundary Hire Car” sticker on their rear window. This sticker has a serial number and text in both English and Chinese.  You can find a list of authorized hire car services here: http://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/land_based_cross_boundary_transport/enquiries_on_cross_boundary_hire_car_service/index.html. Depending on the service, you may need to hire these cars in advance.
