article: Most states or territories have building codes, or basic requirements that new homes and other structures are required to meet during construction. It's important to familiarize yourself with the unique building codes for your area before you get started, as they can dictate everything from your basic materials to the type of measurements you use. You can find a copy of your local building codes by running a quick search for "residential building codes" plus the name of your city, state, or municipality. In some areas, you may even need a permit to install a floor yourself for it to be considered up to code. If your floor isn't up to code, it's possible that you could be fined or even forced to pull up the entire structure and start over. Before you begin cutting or measuring, grab a pencil and paper and sketch an outline of your floor. Your sketch should depict the floor's basic shape and layout, complete with any additional features like alcoves, nooks, and staircases. Extremely long spans, staircases, or interior walls typically require additional support, which can complicate your framing plan. In this case, your floor framing project will be best handled by a licensed contractor. Fill in your outline with specific measurements for each area where you'll be installing a separate piece of lumber. If your floor is going to be 12 feet (3.7m) x 18 feet (5.5m), for instance, note that you'll need a total of 4 12ft (3.7m) boards and 4 18ft (5.5m) boards for the outer frame, as well as multiple 18ft (5.5m) boards cut to size to serve as the main floor joists. Stick-framed floors typically consist of 3 main componentsthe sill plate, which goes on top of the concrete foundation, the rim joists, which box in the edges of the sill plate, and the floor joists, which run parallel to one another to provide internal support. The exact number of floor joists you'll need will depend on the size of the floor. As a general rule, floor joists should be spaced 16 inches (41cm) apart for maximum stability. Draw and label your framing plan to scale and double-check each of your measurements to make sure they suit the structure's size and support requirements. Once you've drafted your framing plan, review it carefully to determine exactly how much lumber you'll need. The simplest way to do this is to add together the length of each individual section in feet. For example, 4 12ft (3.7m) boards + 4 18ft (5.5m) boards + 9 18ft (5.5m) joists = 282 feet (86m) of lumber. Remember, your calculations should reflect the combined length of the outer frame (multiplied by 2 to account for both the sill plate and rim joists), as well as each of the joists. It's a good idea to order 15% more lumber than you think you'll need so you'll have enough in case of waste. After you've ordered the lumber you need, use a circular saw to cut each piece to the dimensions you listed in your framing plan. To frame a floor that's 12 feet (3.7m) x 18 feet (5.5m), you would need 4 12ft (3.7m) sill plate boards, 4 18ft (5.5m) rim joist boards, and 9 18ft (5.5m) main floor joists. At most home improvement centers, you can also have your lumber cut to the desired specifications when you order it. Label each piece of lumber with a pencil after you cut it (for example, "sill plate" or "main floor joist"). This will make it easier to keep track of where it goes later on.

article: Avoid wearing or carrying anything that compresses or squeezes your affected arm and/or hand. Tight sleeves or bracelets can constrict circulation in your arm, contributing to fluid build up which can lead to lymph node swelling. Forcing the affected arm or shoulder to bear excessive weight can also contribute to lymphedema. Be sure to carry a light bag or purse and avoid handling heavy bags, (especially avoid carrying them on the shoulder or the crook of your arm) to minimize pressure and constriction on your arm. Blood pressure cuffs measure your blood pressure by constricting around your arm, temporarily stopping circulation. Since, to avoid lymphedema, you want to maintain healthy, free circulation in your arm, it's a bad idea to take blood pressure readings in the affected arm, which can contribute to further swelling and fluid buildup. Try to avoid exposing yourself to extreme temperatures, which can disrupt normal circulation to your arm. For instance, it's recommended that you avoid using hot tubs, saunas or steam baths. When you bathe, use warm or lukewarm (rather than hot or cold) water. Also avoid burning or irritating the affected arm in any way by exposing it to extreme temperatures, which can increase fluid buildup . Apply sunscreen at least SPF 15 during the day. This prevents sunburns, which can irritate the skin on the affected arm (and, in extreme cases of lymphedema, even cause the skin to break down). When sitting for a long period of time or sleeping, you may want to elevate the affected arm. Use a pillow, another similarly-sized object, or a medical arm support to prop your arm in a position that has it comfortably resting above your heart. This will naturally and safely decrease the the circulation to your arm, helping to minimize fluid buildup. Be sure to avoid lying on the affected arm for an extended period of time. If needed, pack extra pillows behind your back or around your sides to prevent yourself from unconsciously turning over while you sleep.
