In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: of the floors. Use a tape measure to take measurements of the floor layout. You may want to note the measurements on a sketch of the RV. Take the drawing with you when you're shopping for your floors so you can picture the layout as you shop. You may not have to remove the furniture in your RV for your floor replacement. However, if you have to replace the subfloor, or if you want you new flooring to extend underneath the couch or table, you'll need to take the furniture out. Unless the subfloor is damaged, the choice of whether to install new flooring under your furniture is largely aesthetic. Furniture in an RV is often bolted down, so you will probably need a wrench in order to remove it. from the around walls and cabinets. Use a crowbar to pry the trim loose.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Shingles can create contrast with your siding materials, or they can blend in with the other design features of your home. If you want to go the traditional route, stick with gray, brown, or black shingles. For a contrasting pop of color, opt for reddish-orange shades or lighter tan colors. You can also choose to incorporate a mix of colors, like gray and black or tan and brown shingles for a staggered effect. Drive around several neighborhoods to get an idea of what color of roofing would look best on your home. Look for houses with a similar shape, exterior, and color as yours. Note which roofing and siding pairings seem to look the most appealing to you, and search online for houses that are architecturally similar to yours. For example, a ranch house might look good with a combination of colors while a traditional colonial would benefit from shingles with one solid color. A Spanish style home might look good with reddish clay-colored roof shingles which would mimic traditional clay roofing tiles, for example. Opting for an energy efficient roof can lower the temperature of your attic by 2040F (74C). If you live in a warm climate, install this type of roof to help lower your electricity bills and improve the longevity of your roofing materials. If you don't want to install a true cool roof, remember that white or light shingles reflect sunlight and help keep the temperature of your home down. Dark shingles absorb heat and will help homes in colder climates stay warm. They also help melt snow and ice from your roof. If you have a local homeowners association, read their rules carefully to make sure your choice of roofing color does not violate any regulations. Even if you don't have set rules to follow, think about how your roof will look alongside your neighbor's house. If many of the homes in your neighborhood have the same style of roof, it might be a good sign that that color works well with those types of houses. Take photos of the exterior of your home to a certified roofer or contractor. Browse options from a catalogue, or take shingle samples home with you to see them in person. If you have a picture of the type of look that you want to achieve, bring that along with you to give them an idea of what you want. If you can't find a certified roofer or contractor near you, visit a hardware store to view their shingle samples and get an idea of their roofing process. A reputable certified roofer will have a license or certification from your state's department of labor, and should be able to provide you with proof of liability insurance and a written proposal for the roofing job.
Summary: Choose a color that pairs well with the color of your house. Accentuate the architectural style of your home with your shingles. Install a "cool roof" to make your home more energy efficient. Check rules about shingle colors if you live in a residential neighborhood. Talk to a certified roofer or contractor about the shingles.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Plenty of websites have calculators to help you figure out your heat need. Search for a radiator sizing calculator. Most of them can do the math in both feet and meters. You'll need to know your room dimensions as well as its features, such as the type of windows and insulation. These calculators use the same math you can do by hand. They're good for saving time or checking your calculations. Get a tape measure if you don't already know the dimensions of the room. Measure the length, width, and height of the room. Write down the measurements so you don't forget them. Multiply together the length, width, and height of the room. This gives you the cubic volume of the room. For example, a room 13 feet (4m) wide, 12 feet (3.7m) long, and nine feet high has a cubic volume of 1,404 cubic feet. You can measure your room in either feet or meters. Multiplying by a room factor is the easiest way to estimate the heat needed for a type of room. For lounges, living rooms, and dining rooms, multiply the cubic volume by five. For bedrooms, multiply by four. For common areas and kitchens, multiply by three. This gives you the needed radiator output in BTUs. When measuring in meters, you can multiply the cubic volume by 153. This gives you a general idea of the heat you need for any room. For example, a 1,404 cubic foot living room requires about 7020 BTUs. Some rooms hold more heat than others. For rooms facing north, add 10% to the BTU score. For rooms with French windows, add 20%. Subtract 20% for foam-filled cavity walls and 5% for double glazed windows. Continue making adjustments until you have an estimate for the number of BTUs your room needs. There are plenty of other factors that determine heat loss and retention. For example, outside walls raise the BTUs needed by 15-40%. Having a bedroom above the room lowers the score by 15%. To figure out how big a boiler you need, you have to calculate the BTU requirement of every room. Follow the same steps you used for the first room. Total all the BTU measurements together. This number is the amount of BTUs the boiler needs to put out to heat your home. Add 20% to the BTU total to account for a hot water circulating tank. Add on 10% to account for heat loss. Divide your final BTU measurement by 3.41. The heating power of radiators is often calculated in watts. Keep both numbers on hand in case you need them while picking out a radiator. When in doubt, it's always best to get the opinion of a heating expert. They'll be able to figure out your heating needs for you. In addition, they can help you change your heating system. Since water is used in radiators, some plumbers may also be able to do this.
Summary:
Use an online calculator. Measure out the room. Multiply the room measurements together. Multiply the cubic volume to account for room size. Adjust the heat requirement for room features. Add all room heat requirements to come up with a boiler size. Convert BTUs to watts. Consult a heating contractor.
