Lean ladder with steps. Tips for the home master

Builder, home master

Once, while helping Ivan Andreevich, an old man over seventy, to renovate the ladder in the cellar, he noticed how difficult it was for him to go down it: his leg on the crossbar was trembling, having no support under the heel and toe. Especially when there was a load in the hands - a bucket of potatoes, and even more so - a bag. “There would be steps,” he justified himself, noticing my sympathetic look, “otherwise, like a chicken on a perch.”

This was the impetus for the subsequent modernization of the ladder. The idea was born simple - to nail another row of the same rungs on the back of the stairs, and to supply each of the resulting pairs of rungs with a step from the board.

So Ivan Andreevich and I did. He sawed from a wooden block of the same section as the rungs of the stairs, understudies for them, and while I tried them on, I prepared the steps themselves. Then the work went quickly: we put the workpieces of steps on the existing rungs so that they took a horizontal position, and on the back side of the stairs they propped up the rungs-understudies and nailed them. Having passed the whole row in this way, then the steps themselves were nailed. Ivan Andreevich climbed them, as in his youth - confidently and easily, and was very pleased.

Upgraded ladder: 1 - rack; 2- crossbar; 3 - double crossbar; 4 - step

Since then, the second harvest has been lowered down the stairs to the cellar - it serves perfectly. Only the edge of the bottom step broke off.

It seems that our experience will serve as an example to many, because the ladder is very common and is used not only in cellars and underground floors. It is necessary to go to the attic-hayloft, climb onto the roof, collect fruits from the top of the tour - they use an attached one. And with steps it is more convenient and safer. Especially for the older generation.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Smart plants will report mold and radon in the house 24.07.2018

Inspired by smoke detectors and smart lighting systems, scientists are genetically modifying houseplants to sense harmful chemicals from mold and other types of fungus - and alert homeowners to them. If they can figure out how houseplants react to other threats in the air - such as the health-threatening gas radon - the future will see "smart plants" that can solve a range of problems.

The idea of "smart plants" has already been tested in the field on one farm. From 2012 to 2013, scientists modified Tal's clover (Arabidopsis thaliana) so that the leaves of the plant produced large amounts of orange fluorescent protein when they encountered disease-causing bacteria. To do this, the researchers first identified those genes in the plant that were supposed to respond to harmful chemicals in the air. They then added synthetic "amplifiers" to the DNA of the clover to increase the "power" of the reaction. To detect the signal, the farmers simply had to put on dark glasses with a light filter and see if the leaves changed their color from green to orange.

Probably, this technology can be applied not only on a farm, but also in a house and in a city apartment. "Green walls" of genetically modified plants could be installed near air vents, where they could one day feel the growth of mold and the spread of airborne viruses such as the flu virus. To see the alarm signal on these plants, you need to shine a lamp with an ultraviolet light on the leaves. Scientists hope to soon find proteins in houseplants that can trigger a signal that humans can detect without any tools.

But before the new technology becomes a reality, researchers will need to analyze the DNA of several houseplant species to figure out which reactions can be manipulated and how they can signal danger to us. Unlike crops and many popular flowering plants, not much is yet known about houseplant genes.
