Comics go much farther back than 1934 in the form of comic strips commonly seen in the newspaper. But, if you’ve ever read a comic book or comic strip you’re probably wondering why the word “comic” is in the title. The reason is, when comic strips first came out, their main focus was humor, so naturally the first comic books were focused on humor. But in today’s modern comic books, humor isn’t the focal point.

There are many other genres of comic books, as seen in Japan and Europe. However in America, the superhero genre leaves the others in the dust. But what makes comic books so popular? Well generally, it’s the thrilling adventures of superheroes like Superman, Spiderman and Batman, which are known as some of the best comic books around. However, a big factor behind the popularity of comic books in today’s world is rare comic books.

If you could take a survey of all the comic book collectors in the world on what type of comics they collected, the most common answer you would hear would be the rare ones. Whether we collect them or not it’s always fun to have something rare in our possession.

But despite all the exciting things we hear about comic books, they have definitely had their share of ups and downs, which is how the Gold, Silver, and Bronze ages of comic books were created. Each one of these ages has brought something new and unique to comic books which has revolutionized comics into the marvelous books they are today.

Since a significant amount of homeowners who own basements are also subjected to water leaks, it’s understandable that there is such a great demand for information and products associated with do it yourself basement waterproofing.

Let’s first look at why basements are plagued by water seepage and flooding. Excess moisture in your basement not only limits your use of the space but it also can cause a number of serious problems structurally as well as ruin or destroy furniture and furnishings.

Basements are the part of a home or building that is wholly or partially below ground level. Loose soil, which can be compacted later, is used to fill the reminder of the hole once the walls and floor of the basement are ready. The loose dirt surrounding your basement alows the water to flow easily. So eventually, even though it may take a few years, you will get a build-up of water around and even under, your basement.

This creates hydrostatic pressure on the basement walls and floor. Without adequate basement waterproofing, water will seep through even the smallest crack which then ruins the outside protective coating. No system is foolproof, because even those that remove water from the building, can’t always prevent silt and heavy rainfalls from blocking pipes and causing system overload.

This is when most people decide to turn their project into a do-it-yourself basement waterproofing project rather than have someone excavate and re-do it professionally and, usually, at great financial cost. Many people solve the problem by using sealants and similar products inside on the floor and walls.

A typical project might involve:

  • prepare the walls by removing all loose or crumbly material.
  • before starting, take off prior restoration or foreign substance.
  • heaters and large fans can be used to ensure that your basement is as dry as it can be.
  • use a primer coat on the floors and walls if the product requires this to be done.
  • patch all gaps, seams, joints, or flaws that can be seen.
  • a 1″ bead of sealant is used on the wall and floor junctions.
  • top-coat all surfaces with the final product, using 2 or 3 coats as appropriate.

There’s nothing more to it. Provided that you are careful about choosing a superior product for this job, on completion your basement will be completely sealed and the waterproofing can be expected to last for several years. Top sealants such as PermaFlex are supposed to be a complete, permanent indoor basement waterproofing system. It’s quoted as being “the only indoor waterproofing system that completely seals any basement permanently, no matter how wet or deteriorated” and can be brushed, rolled or even sprayed on.

A full solution would cost homeowners a fraction of the cost and is perfect for do-it-yourself basement waterproofing. It’s also a wonderful solution for those with budget concerns with common and often expensive problems.

There are plenty of other additional and traditional gift items that you can present to somebody you respect and to whom you do not want to give an item of expensive jewelry, unless the thought and motive behind it be misunderstood! When I was in Lebanon, my friend took me shopping into the souk in Beirut, and as I could not afford gold jewelry, I had to make do with all the clothes, the spices and the perfumes. This also happens to be a very excellent choice, for gifting to friends and family.

Some of the other products which you can gift happen to be leather goods, watches, sunglasses, paintings, and art objects made out of metal or wood. Once you happen to go into a souk, you’re going to be spoilt for choice, because there are so many articles which you want to gift and you do not know which one to choose. In the same manner, it is very easy to make sure that the person who is going to get the gift is going to be fascinated by the different types of fashion accessories, which can either be handcrafted and incorporating traditional design into modern trendy and stylish artistic work.

If the person happens to be stylish, yet artistic, you can always give him plenty of Lebanese beads, which he can design to make pieces of jewelry or even to decorate his house. I have Phoenician statues of two soldiers, and that happens to be a stylish work of art made in bronze.
