Modular Buildings In Modern Times

These temporary dwellings have been used by schools, hospitals and churches to create space and save money. Whether these prefabricated buildings cater for a larger congregation, additional class or storage unit, a modular buildings serves many purposes. It was initially intended to be a temporary structure, but many companies specialise in designing structures that last long and are safe. The process starts with the client consultation when needs and plans are assessed. The constructor will ask the relevant questions and provide some alternative suggestions while sharing professional ideas and plans. The financial quote will be drawn up along with deadlines for construction and the blueprint of the building. Once these terms have been agreed and a contract has been drawn up, the construction of the modular building begins at the factory and most of the work is completed there. This is convenient for the contractor who has tools, labourers and materials in one place and this saves transport costs and inconvenience. The client benefits with less construction noise and mess and this is a beneficial arrangement for both parties. The days of boiling in a prefab classroom with little ventilation have been replaced by prefab buildings with air conditioning and climate control. The structure is more sturdy, with greater space and stability than before and the architects design according to the client's needs. If you require a darkroom, a modular building can omit all external light and provide the benefits of a darkroom for a fraction of the price. Modular buildings in the medical industry can be designed to have access control and security features like any high-security laboratory. Modular and relocatable buildings are no longer mass produced identical buildings as each building has unique features according to its use. They are built to last and withstand the elements and be useful to the inhabitants. The building costs are less as modular buildings are built at the factory where all the tools and experts are situated in one place to supervise various projects and this enables the builders to finish more than one construction at one time. It also saves money compared to conventional brick and mortar construction as less money is spent on cement, roofing materials and fittings. Although modular buildings can be built with bathrooms, it will increase the cost but all houses have standard bathrooms. Modular buildings do not take months to build and it can be transported anywhere in the world with adequate insurance. The client should be able to assemble the modular building anywhere and be the envy of visitors who will be impressed by this structure. With freight protection services and proper warranties, there is little risk attached to investing in a modular building and there is even the opportunity to expand to the building by adding an extra storey or changing the floors to impress the neighbours further and fit them into the building. The building can be ordered and then renovated after a period of time by the same company without too much hassle or expense.

Teleseminar this Monday night

Over the past year i have been writing and providing this email course for nothing other than the satisfaction of helping people. Well hundreds of you have requested coaching and help and I really haven't made an effort to be available for you. Well several of you have convinced me that I need to offer you more in the way of a coaching program. I have agonized over what I should offer. First of all it must be affordable and effective for you. Second it must be meaningful and fulfilling for me. I don't want to waste my time helping people who refuse to be helped. I really do enjoy talking and writing about what I do though. As a Nashville Real Estate Investor who is currently buying eight to ten houses a month I am very busy but I also do like to teach.

Gardens East Love

I've got to give some love to Gardens East! My latest issue just arrived a few days ago, but because of impending deadlines (cue dark, booming music), I've not yet had a chance to flip through it.. well, now that I'm finishing up writing a garden profile for the Feb issue of the magazine (a very cool moss-hosta garden just outside Halifax), I decided to procrastinate a bit and brewed some tea and grabbed the issue you see in the photo.

I typically write two articles per issue - one is always a garden profile on a Maritime gardener (Tom Hall in PEI in this issue) and the other article is on another aspect of gardening.. from sweet peas to winter veggies and everything in between. (got ideas? Just make a comment below, I always want to hear suggestions from gardeners!) I also love that Gardens East employes some of my favourite Canadian garden writers - Larry Hodgson (seriously, the king of perennials! In the new issue he covers Garden Myth Truths), Brian Minter (Winter Baskets for the Holiday Season) and Ward Teulon, another veggie lover (Storing Vegetables).

As a gardener, I am so glad we have such a detailed resource - for the Maritimes.. and as a writer, I grateful for the opportunity to work for such fun folks. You can check out their website here. And a 1 year subscription is 33% off!! Hello holiday season!

Please let me know if you have any suggestions on NS, NB, PEI or NFLD gardens that should be included in the magazine - just comment below. And, Gardens East welcomes and encourages you to e-mail, snail mail, tweet, facebook your garden questions/photos/adventures which may end up in the next issue!! (e-mail - talkback@gardenswest.com) Tell them Niki sent you! :)

Fall Greens and Autumn Thoughts

Well, I think today is it. After this day is done, the 'real' November weather should be arriving and I better get the mini hoop tunnels set up and ready to go before the sun sets at 5 pm (thanks SO much time change) today. We've been very lucky with only a few lights frosts and one hard frost so far - it's Nov 4th for goodness sake - but after today, our lovely 12 C weather is sinking to just above freezing and I want to make sure our beds of hardy greens are protected and ready for winter. 

Speaking of beds of greens, these hardy plants have been thriving in the mild Oct and Nov weather.. I started none of them from seed or transplant - at least not on purpose. They're all reseeded (aka, volunteer) babies that I dug up and moved as they popped up in the beds in September. Some of them were moved in hot, dry weather, but they all took. Another reason to love these resilient edibles. Talk about easy gardening! Now, we have 3 cold frames full of crops for winter and about six 4 by 10 foot beds overflowing with hardy greens and root crops. I also late seeded a few more beds with assorted greens that will overwinter and be ready for harvest from mid March until mid-May when the 'real' garden takes over once again.

As for now, here's a few photos I took this morning as the most beautiful golden autumn light bathed the garden.. mind you, once I snapped the first photo, clouds appeared and that light was gone, but nevertheless, here is a glimpse of our garden.. 

Mixed Asian greens and baby kale in the fleeting light.

Asian greens just LOVE this weather!

Some of my new-to-me kales.. Lacinato Rainbow, a cross of
Lacinato (aka, Dinosaur kale) with Redbor, a curly-leafed red variety.

also take great!

Say cheese, Lacinato Rainbow! Not quite as
colourful as I had thought, but maybe that is a
natural variation or my seed source..
