Q: Ucabangani ngendawo yeshawa yamatshe amatshe?Sekuyiminyaka ngizibona lezi futhi ngiyazibuza ukuthi ngiyathanda yini ukuzisebenzisa egumbini lami lokugeza elisha.Ingabe ziqinile?Izinyawo zami ziyazwela uma ngihamba phezu kwetshe, futhi ngifuna ukwazi ukuthi kubuhlungu yini uma ngigeza.Ingabe lezi zitezi kunzima ukuzifaka?Ngikhathazekile futhi ngokuthi wonke ama-grout adinga ukuhlanzwa.Uke wabhekana nalokhu?Yini ongayenza ukuze wenze i-grout ibukeke njengentsha?
A: Ngingakhuluma ngezindaba ezibucayi.Lapho ngihamba phezu kwetshe, kwaba sengathi ngamakhulu ezinaliti ezibhajwe ezinyaweni zami.Kodwa le gravel engikhuluma ngayo ilukhuni futhi imiphetho ibukhali.Isitezi seshawa setshe eliyigugu singinikeze umuzwa ohluke ngokuphelele.Ngathi ngimi phezu kwayo, ngezwa ngibhucungwa opholile ematheni ezinyawo zami.
Ezinye izitezi zeshawa zenziwe ngamatshe angempela noma amatshe ayindilinga amancane, kanti amanye awokwenziwa.Amadwala amaningi ahlala isikhathi eside futhi amanye angakwazi ukumelana nokuguguleka kwezigidi zeminyaka.Cabanga ngeGrand Canyon!
Abakhiqizi bamathayela baphinde basebenzise ubumba obufanayo kanye ne-matte glaze esetshenziselwa ukwenza amathayela ahlala isikhathi eside ukwenza amathayela okugeza amatshe okwenziwa.Uma ukhetha ukusebenzisa amatshe e-porcelain, uzoba ne-shower floor eqinile kakhulu engasetshenziswa izizukulwane ezimbalwa.
Iphansi le-cobblestone akunzima kakhulu ukulifaka.Ezimweni eziningi, amatshe ayigugu angama-flakes anamaphethini ahlanganisiwe, okwenza ukubukeka okungahleliwe.Sika amatshe amatshe ngesaha ledayimane elomile noma elimanzi.Ungasebenzisa ipensela ukumaka futhi usebenzise i-grinder engu-4-intshi enecala elomile ledayimane.
Lokhu kungase kube indlela elula yokusika;Nokho, kungase kungcole kakhulu.Gqoka imaski ukuze uvimbele ukuhogela uthuli, futhi usebenzise isiphephetha-moya esidala ukususa uthuli emshinini wokugaya lapho usika.Lokhu kuvimbela uthuli ukuthi lungene ezingxenyeni ezihambayo ze-grinder motor.
Ngincoma ukuthi ubeke amatshe endaweni enamathelayo kasimende encane esikhundleni sengcina yezinto eziphilayo ebukeka njengemajarini.Qiniseka ukuthi ufunda yonke imiyalelo yokufaka enikezwe umkhiqizi we-cobblestone.Ngokuvamile batusa ingcina ekhethwayo.
Isikhala phakathi kwamatshe sikhulu kakhulu, udinga ukusebenzisa udaka.Udaka cishe njalo luyingxube kasimende wasePortland onemibala nesihlabathi esihle se-silica.Isihlabathi se-silica sinzima kakhulu futhi sihlala isikhathi eside.Lona umbala ofanayo kakhulu, ngokuvamile okhanyayo kuphela.Isihlabathi senza i-grout ibe namandla kakhulu.Ilingisa amatshe amakhulu esiwafaka kukhonkolo emigwaqweni yaseceleni, emigwaqweni, nasezindleleni zokushayela.Itshe linikeza amandla okhonkolo.
Lapho uhlanganisa i-grout futhi uyibeka endaweni yokugeza ye-cobblestone, qaphela ukusebenzisa amanzi amancane ngangokunokwenzeka.Amanzi amaningi kakhulu azobangela ukuthi i-grout ishwabane futhi iqhekeke lapho yomile.
URuthe akudingeki akhathazeke kakhulu ngomswakama, ngoba uhlala enyakatho-mpumalanga.Uma wenza i-grouting phansi ezindaweni ezisentshonalanga noma eningizimu-ntshonalanga ezinomswakama ophansi, kungase kudingeke ukuthi ufafaze inkungu ematsheni kanye nongqimba oluncane olungaphansi kwawo ukuze wengeze umswakama omncane ukuze wenze inqubo yokukhipha i-grout ibe lula.Uma ufaka phansi lapho umswakama uphansi, sicela umboze phansi ngokushesha ngemva kwamahora angu-48 wokugxumeka ngepulasitiki ukuze ubambezele ukuhwamuka kwamanzi ku-grouting.Lokhu kuzosiza ukuthi iqine kakhulu.
Ukugcina i-cobblestone shower floor ihlanzekile kulula, kodwa abantu abaningi abafuni ukuchitha isikhathi sokukwenza.Udinga ukukhuhla phansi okungenani kanye ngesonto ukuze ukhiphe amafutha omzimba, insipho nensalela yeshampu, kanye nokungcola okudala okuvamile.Lezi zinto ziwukudla kwesikhunta nesikhutha.
Ngemva kokugeza, qiniseka ukuthi i-shower floor yomile ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka.Amanzi akhuthaza ukukhula kwesikhunta nesikhutha.Uma unomnyango weshawa, sicela uwuvule ngemva kokuphuma endlini yokugezela.Okufanayo kuyiqiniso ngekhethini lokugeza.Nyakazisa amakhethini ukuze ususe amanzi amaningi ngangokunokwenzeka futhi uwagcine ethintekile ukuze umoya ungene eshaweni.
Ungase udinge ukulwa namabala aqinile amanzi.Lokhu kulula ukukwenza ngeviniga emhlophe.Uma ubona amabala amhlophe eqala ukwakha, udinga ukuwasusa ngokushesha ukuze ugweme ukwakheka kwezingqimba zamadiphozi amanzi aqinile.Uma uyivumela ukuthi isebenze cishe imizuzu engama-30, bese ukhuhla futhi uhlanza, uviniga omhlophe ofuthwe kuma-tile uzokwenza umsebenzi omuhle.Yebo, kungase kube nephunga elincane, kodwa i-cobblestone shower floor yakho ingahlala iminyaka eminingi.
