The Korean company KG Mobility (KGM, former SsangYong) announced the creation of the Musso sub-brand for pickups in its homeland in January. In mid-February, the company declassified the exterior design of the first production model of this line – the KGM Musso EV electric truck. Now the manufacturer has shown the interior and published a price list, while pre-orders have begun to be accepted in Korea.

The Musso EV pickup truck “grew” from the KGM O100 concept, which was presented back in 2023. By the way, in Korean the word muso means “rhinoceros”. According to the idea of ​​KGM marketers, it should evoke associations with “strength, grandeur and confidence.” But Musso EV is a so-called lifestyle pickup, because it is based on the electric SUV Torres EVX, that is, it has a load-bearing body.

The front part of the KGM Musso EV is made in the style of a related crossover: the pickup received similar two-tier optics. But the rear lights are original. The dimensions of the pickup have not yet been announced. But the load capacity has been revealed – only 500 kg. The length of the KGM Torres EVX is 4715 mm, the wheelbase is 2680 mm.

The restyled liftback and station wagon Skoda Octavia debuted in February 2024, they entered the European market in the spring. Previously, the modernized five-door models were available exclusively with front-wheel drive. And now, almost a year later, as promised during the presentation, all-wheel drive cars are again available to customers. By the way, the Czech division of Skoda announced the start of sales of the Octavia 4×4 last month, and today the global office announced the launch.

All-wheel drive is available for the Skoda Octavia and Octavia Combi with a 2.0 TSI petrol turbo four-cylinder engine, which produces 204 hp and 320 Nm (before restyling, the engine power was 190 hp, the torque is the same). The engine works in tandem with a seven-speed DSG gearbox. It is stated that the all-wheel drive liftback will reach the first “hundred” in 6.6 seconds, a similar station wagon – in 6.7 seconds. The maximum speed is the same for both options – 228 km / h.

The Li Auto company, behind which is the Chinese entrepreneur Li Xiang, turns ten years old this year, and it is celebrating its first anniversary in good shape. Last year, Li Auto sold 500,508 cars, which is 33.1% more than sales in 2023. Formally, the entire volume was sold in China; Li Auto does not officially export its cars yet, but thousands of cars are sent abroad by gray dealers.

Currently, the Li Auto model lineup consists of four plug-in hybrid crossovers – L6, L7, L8, L9 and the electric minivan Mega. It was hybrids that brought Li Auto money and fame, but in 2023, Li Xiang decided to develop the electric vehicle direction. The Li Mega electric minivan was received coolly by the market, partly because of its too high price, partly because of its overly futuristic design, entirely subordinated to aerodynamics.

Foam used for thermal insulation is a qualitative component for insulation of the apartment, contributing to the output of the dew point beyond the framework of wall structures and prevents the appearance of condensate. Insulation of the opening of foam consists in the decoration of internal, and sealing external slopes.

The outer side of the window requires proper insulation, since from the constant adverse effects of atmospheric precipitation, ultraviolet radiation, wind exposure, the mounting foam is destroyed. This, in turn, is fraught with freezing the window of the window, the formation of cracks through which precipitation and drafts fall into the room. And these cold areas contribute to the formation of condensate and fungus.

The technology of window insulation with polystyrene with polystyrene is the following advantages:

• light weight of insulation;

• ease of installation, contributing to the savings of time costs;

• removing the “dew point” beyond the scope of the window opening and wall structure;

• additional degree of noise insulation;

• proper level of thermal insulation;

• Prevention of the formation of “cold bridges”;

• the ability to hide defects of the wall surface at the expense of foam at the location of the window;

• prevention of freezing of the window structure;

• additional level of windproofing and precipitation;

• stability of foam to ultraviolet rays, burnout protection.

The team of specialists “Overseas” is ready to provide its customers with a comprehensive solution, in particular external and internal insulation of windows with foam. Due to this technology, your window structures will receive a complete aesthetic appearance, and at the same time reliable protection against heat loss, the formation of dampness and mold. The owners no longer need to torment themselves with the solution of the issue of insulation of the home, these worries are ready to take on their professionals.

1) the use of a plunger. In order to clean the pipes from blockage, the cables are tightly pressed to the drainage hole. Then it is necessary to make at least 10 sharp movements up and down, after which remove it with the same sharp movement. If necessary, make a session again. In the sink, when working with a plunger, there should be water covering its upper rubber. In order for the procedure to make it very important to block the plums in the bath and other sink.

2) a plumbing cable in the form of a long wire with a rotation handle will help to help cope with a suction. To use this method, it is necessary to insert the cable into the pipe and giggled with neat movements to push the cable over the entire length, while rotating the handle clockwise. The blockage must collapse and either go further, or partially stay on the cable.

3) There are chemical ways to get rid of blockages: aerosols, household chemicals. It is necessary to act according to the instructions indicated on the packaging, but usually the product is poured into the drain hole and is left in this form for exposure to the time specified by the manufacturer (from 4 to 8 hours).

4) homemade, simple, but very effective tool for dissolving blockages: it is necessary to mix half a glass of soda with several tablespoons of coarse salt, pour the prepared mixture into the drain hole, then pour a glass of vinegar there and close the drain with a cork. After 10 minutes, rinse the pipe with hot water. This method is quite well cleaned by the sewer pipe, riding not only from blockages, but also from unpleasant odors.

What should not be done:

– Use powder products: they will fasten the blockage in the pipe even more.

– use chemicals along with acid or vinegar: the consequences of such chemical experiments can be very serious.

– boil. The effect of ordinary hot water is unlikely to dissolve the formed lump, but can cause deformation of the pipes, if they are plastic, or be a source of unpleasant odor.

If none of the above methods has been crowned with success, then the only alternative will be the challenge of the plumbing. We found these and other repair tips here.

It also happens when the width of the box and the opening is different, and in order to compensate for this difference, the premature bar is used, it is made in the tone of the doors, mounted in the groove of the box and fixed with the help of self -tapping screws. If necessary, in rooms with large cross -country ability, the box is additionally fixed to the walls of the opening with screws whose hats are closed with decorative plugs. Then the perimeter of the mounted box after the foam hardens, cash out. The upper and two rack strips are also washed down at an angle of 45 degrees, and fixed on the box using decorative finished nails or simply glued. After that, the lock is installed using feather or milling. The installation of the door came to an end, it remains only to check the correct installation. If there is no friction of the door about the box and spontaneous opening, then the installation passed correctly. Subject to proper care of the product, the door will serve you for a long time.

Consider the technology of installation of a pile-screw foundation itself.

The complexity and cost of installation work depends on the scale of construction, the features of the project of the building being built, its mass, geometry. With low -rise construction, the installation of screw piles can be performed manually, and during the construction of larger objects, of course, it is necessary to resort to the use of installation special equipment.

At the initial stage, markings are made for the future foundation. At the development point should not run under the ground of pipelines, electric cables.

The piles must be twisted into the soil to a small depth and leveled strictly vertically in level. To do this, you need a trumpet three -plane level. With it, you will achieve perfect accuracy.

For screwing screw piles manually as a rule. use a lever key or bar. Their dimensions are different and vary depending on the features of the operation of the structure and its purpose.

The process of screwing screw piles, even small size is very laborious. To facilitate work, of course, it is necessary to use special equipment. The technique will accelerate and facilitate work.

Thus, it should be compared, which is more important, the most affordable, fast – automatic or more economical – manual version of installation of screw piles.

The installations of such piles of a large amount of time are not required, in addition, such technologies are applicable even within the city. Recently, after construction, they often buy good radiators Korado Radik.

A similar pile is a steel thick -walled pipe, on the lower edge of which special blades are located, thanks to which high -quality fixation of the pile and soil is carried out. After proper installation, piles are able to take on quite large loads. Depending on the project of the future building and its planned weight, the diameter of the pile can vary greatly.

To the production of these elements of supporters, highly qualified workers are allowed. It is not allowed to even have a very insignificant crack, since when exposed to large loads on it, piles may not withstand, which will lead to the complete destruction of the building. After production, all piles, without exception, undergo quality control, after which the chosen units are recycled, and undergoing control is marked and sent to the customer.

Many other methods of screeding floors could not be made in winter and late autumn, since there was always a danger of spoiling the mixture. The ability to set a dry screed at all times of the year, regardless of climate and weather, makes this method the most convenient. “Plus” to all this, immediately after all installation you can freely move around the finished floor.

Negative sides

If your apartment is always wet or often tormented by neighbors from the “floods”, then it is better to refrain from a dry screed. She extremely does not like humidity, water and all that is connected with it. Its ideal distribution is a dry room. Therefore, before using this screed, check if you have high humidity in your apartment.

Dry screed the method is very good, but painstaking. Before starting work, it is worth carefully considering what material the coating will be made of, which the floors will be covered, and whether you need sound insulation or not. Each primer has its own qualities: some can create sound insulation in the apartment, but there is no.

Installation

1. Of course, you need to initially remove the old coating, and the entire floor as a whole (including old ceilings).

2. If the cracks, gross irregularities or just narrow gaps are noticeable, then you should pour them with a cement mixture.

3. Completely clean the site and free it from foreign objects. It should be perfectly clean.

4. To be extremely accurate, you need a device such as a water or laser level. Note the extreme height of the future sand, and the same will accurately determine the thickness will be convenient.

5. Spread one of the following types of coatings on the floor to protect the backfill of humidity – roofing material, parcham or other films that can resist the humidity reliably. Please note that you also need to fix this coating on the walls, most often no more than 20 cm.

6. Fall asleep the entire floor with a bed and it is perfectly aligned so that there are no tubercles and hills on it. This can be done using special polystyrene foam plates.

7. Now you will need to start laying the surface of the screed. It can be both gypsum fiber sheets, as well as plywood, chipboard. These materials are moisture resistant and inexpensive.

8. We grind all the seams that remained after our work, and after that we align these grouts. You can also be safe and put under the upper layer waterproofing fiber.

More details about the methods, advantages and disadvantages of the floor screed can be found on the Stiazhka page

Requirements for sites

The main requirements in the choice of sites include the following:

the presence of sufficient remoteness from the carriageway;

closed not viewed fence;

The presence of a distance from the main residential building should be 15 m

The fundamental premises of the Russian bath include the presence of paired, washing, rest rooms or a dressing room. It is possible to combine pair and washing.

The estimated size of the dressing room can be – one and a half square meters per person. In the dressing room there may be furniture for relaxation. There are also places for stoves, sunbeds and containers with water.

Dimensions

As an example of the size of the premises of a small bath for four people, one can cite:

the presence of an external external size 4x4m;

washing room – 2x2m;

paired – 1.5x2m;

Such a bathhouse will take up little space in the designated area.

The determining size and premises of the bath depend on the size of the sections of the allotted for it. If you have enough space, you can outline the presence of a toilet, shower, relaxation rooms.

The input of the bath is usually located in the south, southwest. This arrangement can simplify the use of baths in the winter period. Snow melting on the surface will occur faster from the south side, and the correct choice of the direction of the window opening will allow the use of longer lighting using natural light.

Stages of construction

The main stages of construction include:

Preparation of sites and delivery of materials for construction.

The foundation of the bath.

The process of equipment systems and the process of forming the floor of the bath.

Laying a log house.

The process of erecting a roof of a bathhouse.

The process of installing or laying the furnace, masonry of the chimney.

Equipment by water supply and electrical equipment of the bath.
