Article: Make sure the surface you're going to tile is swept and clean of any debris, especially if you're in the middle of more major renovations or construction. Make certain the existing floor is flat, solid, and well bonded to the sub-floor. The floor and subfloor together should be at least 1-1/8" thick. Follow the manufacturer directions, mixing the appropriate amount of water with the mortar in a bucket. The mortar should be thick, a similar consistency to mud, but not so thick that is doesn't fall off a trowel. Don't mix more thin-set than you can use within an hour, or it will begin to dry out. Spread the mortar quickly, but also evenly. Use firm sweeping motions with the trowel. If you want to reinforce the floor with cement board, score it with a utility knife before laying it over the thin-set mortar. Pound in roofing nails along the edge to secure the backer board to the floor. Continue until the floor is covered and apply a thin layer of thin-set mortar over the joints. In the meantime, you can prepare the reference lines to make sure the tile will be laid evenly. If you simply start laying tile along a crooked wall, it will look really crooked by the time you reach the opposite wall, so you need to use a mason's chalk line (a piece of string covered with chalk dust that you can snap into place) to establish easily-removable reference lines. Identify the most visible wall when you walk into the room. This is the wall with the longest area of continuous tile. Determine a 90-degree angle from that wall, using a square, and snap a chalk line across the room. Use the square again to mark a perfect 90-degree angle from that chalk line and snap another chalk line that's perpendicular to the first one. Now you have two intersecting chalk lines as a reference to lay the first tile.

Prepare the floor. Mix a batch of thin-set mortar. Spread a layer of thin-set on the sub-floor with the notched trowel. Cut the cement board to fit the space. Wait until the next day to begin laying tile. Establish a straight vertical and horizontal reference line from the center of the room.

Article: First degree burns are the most common, and happen as a result of light scalding, brief contact with hot items, and the sun. The damage is only on the most superficial or outer layer of the skin.They will likely appear red, slightly swollen, and may or may not be slightly painful. Treat your first degree burn at home, since there is usually no need for expert medical attention. The outermost layer of skin has the ability to heal itself with care and time. First degree burns are classified as 'minor burns' and should be treated as such. Sometimes you may get an extensive first degree burn, such as a full body sunburn, but this does not need medical attention. Your skin might also appear blotchy, blisters will form, and the pain will be much more intense. Second degree burns come from brief contact with incredibly hot things (boiling water, for example), extended contact with hot items, and prolonged exposure time in the sun. Unless your second degree burn is on your hands, feet, groin, or face, treat it like a minor burn. If you have blisters, don't drain them. If the blister is drained, keep it clean by rinsing with water and swabbing with antibacterial ointment. You can also cover the ointment on the skin with a bandaid or another dressing. This dressing needs to be changed daily. A second degree burn burns through two layers of your skin. If your second degree burn is wider than three inches, covers your hands, feet, joints, or genitals, or doesn't heal over several weeks, then you should call your doctor for medical help. Third degree burns are the most serious and need immediate medical attention. These happen when extended exposure to a hot object burns through all three layers of your skin, sometimes causing muscle, fat, and bone damage. The burns will look leathery and have a white or black appearance. The pain can vary depending on the level of damage to the nerves in the skin layer (pain receptors). These burns can look "wet" because of the rupture of the cells and protein leakage. Third degree burns are always classified as a major burn and need treatment from a doctor as soon as possible. These are 'burns' that occur when your skin is exposed to low temperatures, like snow or ice, for an extended period of time. The area will look bright red, white, or black and will have a strong burning sensation as the skin is rewarmed. A low temperature "burn" is still considered a burn because it damages the skin's tissue layers. Treat low-temperature burns as major burns in most cases, and get medical help for treatment. Rewarm the skin in 37C/98.6F to 39C/102.2F water immediately after exposure. Chemical burns are another type of burn caused by skin contact with harmful chemicals that damage the skin layers. These types of burns will probably appear in the form of red patches, a rash, blisters, and open sores on your skin. Your first step is always to determine what caused the burn and to call poison control immediately. Contact a poison control center immediately if you believe you've suffered a chemical burn. Care must be taken to neutralize and isolate the spread of the chemical. Irrigate chemical burns with lots of water, however, avoid water if exposed to dry lime or elemental metals (such as sodium, magnesium, phosphorus, lithium etc.) as these can react with water and cause more injury.
