What You May
Want to Know
About Building

Questions addressed to this pa

tects' Small House Service Bureau
OF the United States, Inc. Enclose
a stamped addressed envelope.
Q-Should pipes from a hot
water furnace be all the same
size? In my house the pine
sizes change and some Of the
radiators do not heat. Could
this be the fault?
Alt is proper to vary the size
OF pipes in hot water heating lay
| outs so as to take care of the DIFF
ference IN radiation. In the hands
| of an expert these sizes are adjust
ed properly. Otherwise irregular
results such as you describe occur.
Have your heating plant inspected
by competent heating contractor
Q-In our house two months
old door has shrunk 50 that
the lock does not catch. What
causes our rooms to get 20
dirty from the furnace. Can
we hold the builder for It?
A-Shrinkage Of your door shows
SAA0S wei SGASSnGA 4n&ICELAlS were
not used. The contractor should
make good. Dirt comes from
q furnace only where the fur
mace is not properly designed.
Cheap, Ill fitting castings and
poor installation are the newt
able causes of smoke and gas in the
house. If you contracted for a high
grade furnace to be installed you
can undoubtedly hold your con-
tractor for delivery.
Q-Our house was built by q
contractor. When it was fin
ished paid him in full. Now
am informed by q building

tor has a bill standing of sew

terial and unless pay they will

A-Undoubtedly the people who
supplied materials for your house
and were not paid can file against
your property and get q Judgment
If they file within the time provided
within the statutes. We suggest
you do not delay in employing an
attorney. In the meantime, tell all
your friends who may think Of

liens. Better still, have the con-
tractor bonded.
Q-Frost settles under the
roof in the attic during cold
weather and when it becomes
warmer this melts and drips
onto the ceiling below. Can
it be that the roof is not put
on right? Is there anything
that can be done?
A-The fault Is not with the roof.
Warm, moist air from your house
gets into the attic space, where It
comes In contact with cold roof
planes. Moisture is condensed
out, freezes and afterward meltS.
Correction consists in keeping warm
moist air out Of the attic. Keep the
attic door closed. Open the attic
windows as a temporary measure.
For permanent correction, insulate
the second story ceiling; be more
comfortable, save fuel.
