Article: As your urine reacts with the chemicals on the urine strip, the strip will turn a yellow, maroon, or purple color. Follow the directions printed on the side of the packaging, which will tell you how long you should wait. Most ketone strips ask you to wait 40 seconds for best results. Waiting too long to read the resultsor not waiting long enoughcan result in a misleading reading. If you look at the ketone-strip container, it will have a series of colored squares on one side. Hold your colored ketone strip up to the side of the container, and find the color square that best matches your urine strip. It may be the case that the color of your urine strips fits in between 2 of the color squares on the packaging. In this case, assume that the higher reading is a more accurate result. Once you've matched your urine-strip color with a color square, look closely to find the number and description that correlate with the color. The standard ketone-level descriptors include: "Trace," "Small," "Moderate," and "Large." The colors will also correspond to numerical values: 0.5, 1.5, 4.0, etc. These measure the amount of ketone in your urine in units of milligrams per deciliter, or units of millimoles per liter. Healthy people not on a keto diet will have extremely low levels of ketone in their urine.

Wait for the ketone strip to change its color. Match the ketone strip with the color indicators on the packaging. Read the numerical value beneath the matching color square.
Article: For optimal growth, clematis need six hours of sun each day so a sunny location is necessary. You'll get the best results if you keep the roots in shade and the foliage in sun - you can do this by using mulch, planting a low bush in front of it, or setting rocks on the soil around the plant. As for its roots, clematis prefer well-drained, moist soil with a pH that is neutral to slightly alkaline. Prep soil that is more on the acidic side by periodically "sweetening" it with wood ash or a little limestone. Clematis are climbing plants that naturally grow upward instead of growing out like most traditional plants. In order to grow upward at its maximum height, they need support to facilitate their growth. Bird netting offers a nearly visible means of climbing support to clematis plants. Attach it to something in your garden with a staple or a fastener to prevent it from collapse over the years of the clematis plant's growth. Consider installing garden structures, like arbors or pergolas, which offer beauty and regality to your garden while providing support for clematis to scale. Add some bird wire between the ground and the first rung of the arbor to help young clematis grab and climb up more easily. Allow them to climb on a rock wall in your yard by planting them near there. Purchase some wire to help them gain access to being able to scale the wall over time. A trellis is also a common choice to place in gardens and are often inexpensive, little hassle options for helping the clematis climb. Adding some netting over the trellis can make it even easier for the clematis to hold on. If you have the room, cultivars that grow to be 10-20 feet vines might be what you're looking for. For smaller gardens or potted plants, a more compact variety of clematis might be your preference. Standard clematis flowers blossom with a measurement of 5-6 inches across. Clematis flowers come in smaller blossoms and larger blossoms in different colors like white, wine red, lavender, deep purple, and even yellow. Because the growth of the vine can take years to reach maturity, it is advised to purchase a clematis that is at least two years in age to shorten the wait. Look for a container-grown plant that's in a quart or gallon-size pot and robust in growth.

Article: The person (or company) that built your house can clue you in on the exact structure of the house. If construction was recent, they may not even charge you for a quick call or consultation. Even if they do, keep in mind that a relatively small fee is nothing compared to the disastrous structural damage that can result from tearing down a load bearing wall. If you can't figure out which walls are load bearing and no one you call seems to know, you may want to hire a professional building inspector. Paying for an hour of a building inspector's time is definitely worth it if you want to remodel safely. Home inspections typically cost several hundred dollars. This rate can vary depending on the market and the size of the house - some high-end estimates can be as high as $1,000. Some independent companies offer their services to help would-be home improvers decide how to proceed with their project. These companies may employee construction managers, interior decorators, and other experienced home improvement experts. When it comes to modifying a wall that you're not sure is load bearing, these companies may be able to tell you what changes are possible, what changes are unsafe, or even answer the question of whether the wall is load bearing or not outright. If you're interested in this route, research companies in your area online to ensure you pick a credible, reliable company. Avoid removing a wall yourself unless you are extremely confident it is not bearing a load. As stated before, removing a load bearing wall can cause structural weakening and even potentially life-threatening structural collapse. Keep in mind that renovations are semi-permanent, so removing non-load bearing walls may change what additions you can make to your home in the future.
