Fat Burning Formula - Losing weight DIY ways

Fat Burning Formula - Losing weight DIY ways,

Fat Burning through DIY tasks should also be given a second thought in any diet program. Don't hunger yourself up. Experience the hidden benefits with intergrated DIY excercise into your daily life. You'll be sure to like it, the minit when your DIY job is accomplished you get the 'lighter' feeling and look great!

All you have to do is try DIYing wherever or whenever you can. This fat burning activities give exeburant ways to shed extra weight for long. Burning excess fat the ways we enjoyed. Body and muscles work while DIYing or better to say while hobbying.

Here's an invaluable but simple few DIY's recipe for fat excess buster,

Maintenance - Climb ladder up and down - e.g light bulbs changing, cleaning high end wardrobe
Carpentry - Sawing, hammering, chiseling, lifting, pushing heavy things
Gardening - Trimming plants, hedges or lawn
Outdoor - Cementing, paving, shovering, digging, sweeping, raking, wheel-barrowing, coconuts de-husking
Kitchen - Cloth and dish washing
Miscellaneous - Car wash, painting, scrubbing bathroom and so on.
The list is endless from mild to bone cracking DIY manouevres.

Actually losing weight is most difficult goal to achieve, this goes to diets too, very slim to suceed!
To my experience, stop smoking is much easier than stop 'eating'.
However, let's never hold back, remember the more you exercise DIY will power, the stronger it gets.

So try.. loose weight not loose health.

Everlasting Bathroom Door

Everlasting Bathroom Door,

When comes to replacing bathroom's door, its type and design must be given greater attention. Almost all wooden doors including the frames are vulnerable to water while zinc coated doors are susceptible to rust. So avoid using wooden, zinc coated doors and frames for bathroom door entrance. Here, Riasrumah introduces you a fibre glass folded door using aluminium frame, which are fast gaining popularity in home's bathroom. Although they are slightly expansive than wooden door, fibre glass are water resistance, more durable, more appealing and suitable for wetty places.

Why not while relaxing in your bathtub, give this tip a thinkle?

If you engaging partial DIY project, here how to seek at a glance the competent skill workers?

Ada setengah projek DIY agak mencabar dan mengandungi kerja-kerja (tasks) di luar skop kemampuan kemahiran kita, jadi tasks yang sebegini kita upahlah tukang yang mahir dalam bidang tasks yang berkenaan. Maknanya, kali ini kendalian projek secara separa DIY (partial DIY). Persoalannya sekarang tukang yang macam mana? Selain dari anda sendiri kenal tukang tersebut atau rekomen dari kawan-kawan, suka saya kongsisama pengelaman saya ketika bersama sahabat-sahabat serumah saya yang terdiri dari sukarelawan luar negara Jepun, Jarman dan US. Mereka sangat mahir dalam bidang pertukangan masing-masing  namun buang-buang cakap mengenai separa DIY mereka semuanya bersetuju dengan ala Malaysia/British bagi mengenali tahap kecekapan tukang. Yang mana seperti petua-petua berikut:


Lihat hasil rupa pemasangan dan kemasan di bahagian-bahagian - secara rambang 'layman term',

Tukang kayu : Pintu atau tingkap 
Tukang Perabot : Laci
Tukang cat : ceiling
Tukang Batu Bata : Binaan sokongan melengkung (brick arch)

Tukang konkrit/stone : 'retaining wall'

Kualiti kerja di bahagian-bahagian disebutkan diatas hanya nilaian lazim, jika anda mendalaminya tentu anda lebih mengenali tukang yang dicari bagaikan 'sekilas ikan di air sudah tahu jantan betina'
