Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Find your center point. Rehearse laying out tiles. Repeat the same process for the 3 ½ foot line. Follow the same process for the other three quadrants. Pre-drill some tiles to fit over items such as radiator pipes, bath pipes, and so on. Use a diamond hole saw to bore into the tile and drill a perfect hole. When your floor is rehearsed and all tiles are laid, measured, and cut, and appear to your liking, you are ready to lay the adhesive,

Answer: You have already determined the size of your room, which is 84 square feet.  Finding the center point is critical for laying the tile. It will determine where you will lay your first tile and the next ones. Measure one wall, for example the 12 foot (3.7 m) wall. At 6 feet (1.8 m), half the distance, mark a point with a pencil. Do the same on the other 12 foot (3.7 m) wall. Using your chalk line, anchor one end at the midpoint of one wall and stretch across to the midpoint of the other. "Snap" the chalk line by lifting it up slightly and letting it hit the ground; this will leave a straight line on the floor. Measure the 7 foot (2.1 m) walls and mark a point a 3 ½ feet on both sides. When you have found your center point, you will notice you will have a "quadrant" design on the floor, or 4 equally sized areas.  Starting at the center, "rehearse" your tile pattern by simply laying them on the floor without any adhesive or glue. Place the first tile at the corner nearest the center point. You are only going to work in one quadrant at a time. Begin placing tiles in a straight line towards either wall, leaving a small space in between the tiles. You will use 3 full tiles and 1 tile cut to 4 inches (10.2 cm), since the size of the 3 joints plus the 1 wall joint equals 2 inches (5.1 cm) and  your original tile size was 6 inches (15.2 cm) (6 inches original tile- 2 inches total joint= 4 inch tile). Note that this does not follow the realignment strategy mentioned above. Because this room is "squared," the true center is best left where it actually is. Simply make uniform cuts as they correspond to each side (in this case, you will have 9 inch (22.9 cm) tiles as the wall tiles on the "short" 7 foot (2.1 m) walls and 4 inch (10.2 cm) tiles on the long 12 foot (3.7 m) walls. Because this design is uniform, it is best to follow the same size cuts all the way around. To achieve this you may have to drain down radiator systems, remove the rad from the wall and take the taps off the pipework. Very time consuming but worth the effort if a minimal look is desired.  Your floor will look better if you can drill a hole in the tile and lay the tile over the pipe. If you do not have a hole saw you can use a wet-tile saw to cut a square hole in the center of the tile. Draw a square on the back of the tile in the desired location of the hole. Carefully place the backside of the tile against the wet-saw blade at the midpoint of one of the sides of the square. Gently push the tile against the the blade until the edge of the square is cut. Repeat for the other sides of the square hole.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Choose a level location that gets good sun during the day. Mark the location of the garden bed with string and pegs. Clear away weeds and grass from where the garden box will sit. Break up and loosen the soil with a pitchfork.

Answer: Pick a spot for the raised garden bed that is not shaded and is flat so that the garden will have proper drainage. A standard vegetable garden box is 4 ft (1.2 m) by 8 ft (2.4 m), but work with the space you have.  Don’t make your garden box any wider than 4 ft (1.2 m) or it will be hard to plant and tend to your vegetables in the middle. When in doubt, a North-South orientation is generally a good option for garden beds to ensure they get plenty of sun. Stick a peg in the ground where each corner of the box will be. Tie string from each peg to the next to mark the sides of the garden box so you know where to prepare the ground. You can also use a chalk line or spray chalk to mark the outline of the garden bed. Pull up any weeds from the soil so they don’t grow up into your future garden. Dig up and remove any turf if the area is currently occupied by lawn. If you have the time, you can place a piece of cardboard or a tarp over the area of lawn for 6 weeks or so to kill the grass and make it easier to remove. Use a pitchfork or garden fork to turn over and mix up the top 6 in (15 cm) or so of soil underneath where the new garden bed will go. This will help kill any lurking weeds or grass and even out the soil underneath the garden. Try to mix up the soil as much as you can and spread it out with the tips of the pitchfork or a rake so that the bottom of the bed will be as flat as possible.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Repaint your walls Cluster colorful hats or baskets on the wall for cheap, unique decorations. Hang wall brackets or shelves to pop out art pieces. Frame interesting paper or other materials for a burst of color or texture. Create a gallery wall with art or photos. Hang mirrors to give your room interesting dimensions. Replace your flooring or use carpets to give your room a polished look.

Answer:
for a totally new look. If you’re looking to completely overhaul your style, repainting your walls is a good place to start. You’ll want to do your painting before anything else, since the color you choose will determine the furniture and flooring decisions you make. Buy a brand that doubles as both paint and primer, which will last longer. Don't neglect to decorate your doors as well. Hanging pictures and art are a great way to decorate a wall, but for an interesting, distinctive look, trying hanging woven baskets or large hats instead! Collect them in different sizes and patterns, then lay them out on the floor in pretty arrangements. Hang them with nails or small hooks.  If you can’t find the basket colors you want, get plain ones and decorate the interiors with craft paint. Place them on the wall so the interior of the bowl is facing out. You can hang hats like fedoras, skimmers, or trilbies, facing the top of the hat outwards. If you don’t have any hats, try hanging statement necklaces instead! You can utilize your walls for storage space as well as decorations. Install 1-3 small, simple shelves on your walls, choosing colors that match your overall scheme. Fill them with pictures, artwork, trinkets, or books. You can even switch out the items on your shelf to match the season or your mood. You can spice up your plain wall color by framing a length of matching wallpaper or even gift wrap and hanging it on the wall. For a look that’s even more unique, hang materials like metal sheets, punched tin doors, or woven screens. You can make the room into your very own art or photo gallery! Choose a selection of art, photographs, and wall hangings in different sizes and complementary colors. Set them in simple frames and arrange them on your wall in whatever way looks best to you. Depending on the style of the room, you can also opt for more ornate, intricate frames for a vintage look. It’s true—mirrors really do make a room look bigger! They’ll bring more light into your space, too. Try hanging an oversize mirror on one wall, or go with a few smaller pieces for a salon-like style. You don’t have to get new flooring to decorate a room—a neutral floor color, like soft brown or cream, can go with nearly any paint color. If you do want to try something different, look to hire professionals to make sure the job’s done right, or try installing it yourself if you have some experience.  Hardwood flooring is classic choice that looks good in just about any room. For a cheaper option, go with laminate flooring—it’s less expensive and easier to install, but looks just as good! Carpeting is cheap and comes in fun colors. It’s also easy to clean with a good vacuum cleaner. Whether you go with carpet or hardwood, an area rug can instantly change the look of your room. It can also protect the flooring in high traffic areas.
