What is exterior rendering?
Exterior rendering is the process of applying an external wall covering to the exterior of a house in order to provide added protection to the bricks it's built from.
The external wall covering protects bricks from the effects of weathering and erosion which can, over time, cause both cosmetic and structural damage.
However, the covering alone is not sufficient as this too is susceptible to damage over time from weather and other environmental factors. Therefore, once the wall covering has been applied, it's usually then painted or a wall coating in order to stop it from cracking and prevent damp from seeping through it and into the home. It also requires regular maintenance and re-painting in order to repair any damage that may occur to the paint or wall coatings.
The whole process of exterior rendering is usually carried out by coating specialists like
Apex Coating Services.

Security light will not work
You must have a three function wall switch. This means in addition to a button that opens and closes the door there are two other buttons on the same wall switch. One is marked LIGHT and the other is marked LOCK.
To have your lights come on automatically when you walk into an open garage you must START with the lights ON. To turn the feature on, turn the lights on manually with the wall switch, then press and hold the LIGHT button for about 10 seconds until the motor unit light bulbs flash. Now, if the light bulbs are on, manually turn them out and then walk out through the open door. The light bulbs should come on.
To disable this feature, start with the light bulbs OFF and everything else is the same.
Can I paint over a previously painted concrete floor that was sealed with a polyurethane type product?
you did not provide info on the type of the paint and what surface it will be used on - there is difference between the floor, desk, wall and car body... all are flat surface but adhesion and work of the paint differs.
depending on the pre-existing paint, but you need always to "key-in" using 120 grit paper or 150 grit screen.
if paints are of same type, then paint in - if these are two different paints, you need to strip or isolate old paint, and then use new paint.

How to clean hardwood floors
For cleaning of hardwood floor onething must keep in mind using of too much wet solution on dirt and then rubbing with cloth can destroy shineness of the floor and makes it dull looking. So it is always best to use
vacuum cleaner for removing dirt particles from the floor.
This is one of the advantages of
hardwood flooring. With the use of
vacuum you can remove other products like hair and nails. For alternate way one can use marketed hardwood floor cleaners. But I will suggest to use
vacuum cleaner for cleaning purpose.

I have a GDO-7 v1 door opener and it is not working. When I press the button to open the door, it beeps twice but doesn't open the door. The yellow led (door status led) is flashing constantly
If you have a GDO-7 v1 door opener and it is not working as expected, there could be several possible reasons for the issue you're experiencing. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can follow to diagnose and potentially fix the problem:
- Check the power supply: Ensure that the door opener is receiving power. Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working power outlet. If the power supply is interrupted, the door opener may not function properly.
- Inspect the remote control: Check the batteries in your remote control. Weak or depleted batteries can cause communication issues between the remote and the door opener. Replace the batteries with fresh ones and try operating the door opener again.
- Verify the safety sensors: The flashing yellow LED (door status LED) indicates an issue with the safety sensors. These sensors are usually located near the bottom of the garage door tracks. Ensure that they are properly aligned and free from any obstructions such as dirt or debris. Clean the sensors and make sure the alignment indicator lights are solid and not blinking. Misaligned or obstructed safety sensors can prevent the door from closing or opening.
- Test the wall control panel: Press the button on the wall control panel to open the door. If the door opens successfully using the wall control panel, it could indicate a problem with the remote control. Try reprogramming or resetting the remote control according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Check for any obstructions: Inspect the garage door and its tracks for any obstructions that may be preventing it from opening or closing properly. Remove any debris or objects that could be blocking the door's movement.
- Consult the user manual or contact customer support: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, refer to the user manual for additional troubleshooting steps specific to your GDO-7 v1 model. If you're still unable to resolve the problem, it's recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support for further assistance.
Remember to prioritize your safety during troubleshooting. If you are unsure or uncomfortable with any step, it's best to consult a professional garage door technician for assistance.
