trimming prongs of construction block Explanation: prong of hollow block is removed manually & trimmed to dovetail block at corner of building - photo and text at lower right page of link: http://www.pihakivi.com/fi/Käyttökohteet/Ohjeet/Muurin raken... Kiviparista muodostuvalla muurikivityypillä saa tehtyä 90 asteen kulman leikkaamalla ns. välikivestä yhden sakaran pois. Linjalankaa kannattaa käyttää apuna suoran linjan varmistamiseksi. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 hrs (2009-07-31 11:21:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Optioalueen is literally option area, as Marju so cleverly asserts, after first considering my answer. Since option area adds nothing to the meaning, why confuse the reader? Sometimes, literal translations can be worse than translations that convey the meaning in the best way. |
