When we think of backyard activities, sports often come to mind. While sports are a great way to spend your time outdoors, they are not all that backyard activities include. In fact, while you may not necessarily think so, backyard activities also involve the completion of projects. If you are a home improvement lover, it is quite possible that your next backyard activity could involve the building or the remodeling of a structure.
In the United States, backyards are filled with millions of different things. Many homeowners have pools, barns, work sheds, or garages. If you already have these items inside your yard, you may want to think about remodeling them. Remodeling projects are ideal for those who wish to update or expand their backyard structures. Summer is the perfect time to complete many remodeling projects, especially those that are outside.
While many homeowners make the decision to remodel, there are others that choose to build. If you don’t have a barn, garage, or work shed, but you would like to have one, now would be the perfect time to start construction. In most areas of the United States, summer has the prefect weather conditions for many backyard projects.
The first step in building or remodeling a backyard structure is to develop a plan. If you already know what you would like to build and how you would like to build it, you are well on your way to a completed project. However, if you are unsure what you would like to build or how to build it, you may want to think about doing a little bit of research before you start your next home improvement project.
Perhaps, the easiest way to get ideas or directions on how to build a garage, work shed, or barn is to visit your local library or book store. In these locations, you should be able to find a number of books that will not only offer you suggestions, but give you directions on how to get started. Libraries are nice; however, you will only be able to keep the materials for a short period of time. If you are interested in saving your resource guides for another project, you may want to consider purchasing your own books.
Once you have decided on a structural design, you will need to obtain the necessary building supplies. The supplies that you need will all depend on what you are building or remodeling. Despite the fact that different projects will require different supplies, there are some supplies that are common among all backyard building or remodeling projects. These supplies may include wood, metal, saws, and many other common household tools.
As previously mentioned, summer is ideal for most construction projects. Even though the weather will most likely be cooperative, it may still be a good idea to check your local weather forecast. If you are doing a project that requires perfect weather, such as roofing or painting, you will want to plan your project around the projected weather forecast. With projects that require more than one days worth of work, you may want to wait until the weather forecast predicts steady weather. This will prevent you from having to stop your building or remodeling and then startup again later.
Although building and remodeling projects are great backyard activities, not everyone is able to do them. If you are inexperienced in construction, you may find it difficult or impossible to do the work yourself. If this is the case, professional assistance may be just what you need. Completing your own home improvement projects will save you money, but only if you know what you are doing. Poor building or remodeling jobs may not only need additional, costly repairs, but they may also be unsafe.
With something as large and important as most home improvement projects, you are advised against taking any unnecessary chances or risks. Whether you make the decision to perform your own home improvement project or sit back and watch a professional do it, you will still be outside, enjoying everything that your backyard and the beautiful weather has to offer.

Dear Sirs,
I, Rajneesh Madhok, resident of Nehru Nagar, Street No. 2, Railway Road, Phagwara. Ph. 01824-262569 (O), 268210 (R), 94173-06415 (Mobile), Tele-fax: 01824-262569, E-mail: madhok_rajneesh@vsnl.net wrote in my articles published in various newspapers and periodicals and personally wrote to yourgoodselves about the deteriorated sanitation facilities in Phagwara but to no vain.

(For detail kindly visit www.karmayog.org )
Sirs, the death of 35-year-old Roona, due to hepatitis yesterday has led to panic among residents of Mansa Devi locality here. Following the public outcry, health and civic authorities should initiate some preventive measures. Roona was admitted in the Civil Hospital yesterday morning under suspicion that she was afflicted with jaundice. Later, she was found to be suffering from Viral hepatitis-A.
Sirs, hundreds of residents of Phagwara town, including those from localities like Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar, Shivpuri, Rattanpura, Onkar Nagar, Industrial Area, Bhagatpura and Mansa Devi Nagar, were suffering from various water-borne diseases including jaundice, gastroenteritis and viral fever. Lack of sanitation, drainage and blocking and overflowing of sewerage system of several places were main reasons behind the mess.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, the authorities of the Phagwara Nagar Council and the health department those have been interviewed by me in the past months like President, Nagar Council, Executive Officer Nagar Council, Sub Divisional Magistrate, Phagwara and Senior Medical Officer, Phagwara and have been published in the Newspaper and periodicals with my name as well had been claiming that the situation is under control.
Doctors of Civil Hospital who were treating the deceased said she was transfused two bottles of blood. Ashok Kumar, husband of Roona, who was attending on her, was suffering from jaundice as well. On enquiry from Ashok Kumar he told that he had brought his wife to the hospital in an unconscious condition a day before.
Sirs, the Lab technician Mrs. Tarsem Kaur & her son Rohit are also getting treatment in Private Room No. 1 of the hospital. Both are being treated for jaundice. Both of them are also the residents of Mansa Devi Nagar. Sirs, dozens of residents of that locality are suffering from jaundice.
Kapurthala Civil Surgeon Dr. Avtar Singh admitted that the deceased had been suffering from water borne diseases.
Sirs, in Phagwara the cases of diarrhea, malaria, intestinal helminthes (Hook work disease) that leads to severe consequences such as cognitive impairment massive dysentery or anemia & Hepatitis A. (The disease with which she was found to be suffering) is spreading like anything due to lack of SAFE DRINKING WATER, SANITATION & BASIC HEALTH CARE.
Sirs, for the urban poor, the living conditions are the worst. If this problem could not be addressed to in an adequate & timely manner serial deaths & associated health consequences will follow. Air pollution causes chronic & acute respiratory diseases, vantilatory malfunction, heart diseases, cancer of lungs due to Industrial Pollution by the heavy industries within the highly congested and prone areas of the town. All the three Mills like JCT Phagwara, Wahid & Sandher Sughar Mill Phagwara (Formerly Jagatjit Sugar Mill) and Sukhjit Starch & Chemical Industries Phagwara and number of industries of world repute are situated at the Prime and congested residential areas of Phagwara.
Sirs, due to in adequate access to clean drinking water everybody of the town looks like a patient. Hargobind Nagar is the posh locality of the town developed by Improvement Trust. This colony had been developed for residential purpose. But now it has turned to a colony of Nursing Homes with the connivance of the officials. The hospital wastes being generated by the mushrooming growth of these Nursing Homes pose a special risk and has the potential to take epidemic form.
I personally brought these civic issues in the knowledge of civic authorities but no action had been made so far.
Kindly look in to the matter seriously for the lives of lakhs of people.
I am confident that you will agree that resolving these problems are of great value. So, it is requested to you all to please to give prompt attention.
Thanking you in advance for your help and cooperation.
