A reusable banking device suitable for use in buildings such as an equine stable, the device comprising first and second faces for respectively abutting a wall and the floor of the stable, and a front face extending therebetween, the front face comprising a curved, concave portion.

A deck board supporting system includes a plurality of interconnected skirt joists configured as an outer perimeter of the deck board supporting system and a plurality of deck joists configured to be attached to one or more of the plurality of skirt joists within the outer perimeter. Each of the skirt joist and deck joist has a respective longitudinal groove formed on a respective top surface, and the longitudinal groove extends downwards perpendicular to the respective top surface. The longitudinal groove is configured for receiving one or more fasteners for connecting one or more deck boards to the top surfaces of the respective skirt joists and deck joists.

A method to at least partially coat a building panel, including applying a first coating composition on a building panel having a surface including at least portions including amino resins, for forming a first coating on at least said portions of said surface, wherein the first coating composition has a glass transition temperature less than 30 C. and reactive portions, applying a second coating composition on at least portions of the first coating for forming a second coating, wherein the second coating composition includes reactive portions adapted to react with the reactive portions of the first coating. The disclosure also relates to such a coated building panel.

Methods of fabricating a natural pesticide structure include obtaining at least one raw material; forming at least one natural pesticide building material from the at least one raw material by applying at least one natural pesticide substance to the at least one raw material, the at least one natural pesticide substance having intrinsic pesticide properties and including any combination of the following: garlic, lavender, gardenia, peppermint, wintergreen and lemon grass; and fabricating a natural pesticide structure from the at least one natural pesticide building material. Natural pesticide structures are also disclosed.

A concealed slide-on trim attachment method reduces the work effort and materials involved to refinish walls, ceilings, or anywhere trim is attached on a building using the conventional nailing method. When removing the existing trim, this invention eliminates the damage to the trim, walls, and ceilings, along with the issues previously associated with the current fastening process. With this invention, refinishing or renovation of the trim, walls, ceilings or any other associated building components can be completed without damage to surrounding surfaces or the existing trim, making the trim reusable. This is a simple way to attach and detach the trim when compared to the current nailing method or use of other fasteners. During initial construction, this invention may also reduce time and man-hours required for installation.

A molding system comprising a decorative portion and a mounting flange for mounting the decorative portion directly to at least one wall stud. The decorative portion comprises a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a decorative front surface. The mounting flange comprises a proximal portion, the proximal portion being coupled to the distal portion of the decorative portion such that the mounting flange extends away from the decorative portion and a distal portion. The mounting flange has a longitudinal axis that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the at least one wall stud and a thickness from about inches to about 2 inches. The distal portion of the first mounting flange abuts at least one sheet of drywall. The mounting flange does not substantially overlap the at least one sheet of drywall, and the at least one sheet of drywall does not substantially overlap the mounting flange.

A skirting board has a core with an upper side, an opposed lower side and a front side and back side situated opposite to each other and extending between the lower side and the upper side, and a plate-shaped material attached to the core and covering at least the front side. The plate-shaped material, seen from the upper side of the core, extends to beyond the lower side of the core.

There are provided a processes for manufacturing a trim board, as well as methods for reducing and/or preventing swelling in a finger jointed pine wood and methods for reducing and/or preventing migration of tannins in a finger jointed pine wood. These processes and methods comprise applying a first layer comprising a UV curable primer sealer on a front surface of the pine wood; heat drying the first layer in the presence of UV radiation so as to at least partially cure the first layer comprising the UV curable primer sealer; applying a second layer comprising the UV curable primer sealer on a back surface of the pine wood, the second layer being thinner than the first layer; and heat drying the second layer in the presence of UV radiation so as to at least partially cure the second layer comprising the UV curable primer sealer.

A concealed slide-on molding/trim attachment method reduces the work effort and materials involved to refinish walls, ceilings, or anywhere molding/trim, henceforth called trim, is attached using the conventional nailing method. When removing the existing trim, this invention eliminates the damage to the trim, walls, and ceilings, along with the issues previously associated with the current fastening process. With this invention, refinishing or renovation of the trim, walls, ceilings or any other associated building components can be completed without damage to surrounding surfaces or the existing trim, making the trim reusable. This is a simple way to attach and detach the trim when compared to the current nailing method or use of other fasteners. During initial construction, this invention also reduces time and man-hours for installation.
