Your
Home AS Car, Is
Advice Given

When a man makes an investment
Of $1,000 or of $4,000, he ordinar-
lily does all that he can to protect
the principal and to make the
best use Of his returns
Perhaps the greatest investment
man ever makes is when he buys
or builds his own home, and yet
few home owners service that IN
vestment with adequate protection.
! If he is to get major profits from
home ownership, man would do
we'll to take as good care of his
house as he does his automobile,
applying the same economy of sub
iccting it to periodic checks. The
automobile manufacturers have
convinced car owners that regular
checks on the oil, the battery,
tires, radiator water, and motor eX-
tend the period of efficiency i'll Il
car and protect the investment for
resale or turn-in.
If home owners would check
| their houses as they do their cars,
.iudiciously spending a few dollars
| once or twice a year to prevent
| wastes, they would be not only
avoiding the heavy expense of
cumulative major repairs but would
also be keeping their investment
| primcd to it's fullest working e.
pacity. When needed for security
or for an immediate turnover, that
investment would be ready to serve
! them at once. Houses that arc OBJ
soletc or down at the heel are en-
tered on the red side of the ledger.
! The first indication of the con
dition of house is, perhaps, the
! appearance of the porch, steps, and
railing. Good lumber gives almost
life long service, but in many cases
weather and decay have combinco
! to weaken the joints and boards. A
! broken step or railing and scaling
porch paint dctract from the trim
appearance of any house. There is
, little expense i'll dressing up the
| front of the house, as a knotty pine
can be used for the spindles III
the ratings, as tight, sound knot
in no way impairs the stiffness of
of the wood when it is used vcrtic-
ally.
Clear wood is used for the porch
and the steps, but the cost is just
flied by the added strength anC
durability of the wood. Wood fol
the porch and the steps should bt
treated with preservatives, if it il
to give its best service. Treat
ment of the lumber with crcosotc
zine cloridc, or other good prcser
vations will treble the life of TIN
wood
When the major parts of the cx
terror and interior wooden portion
of the home are checked, it is wis
for the householder to check th'
roofing, the drains, the plumbing
walls, and ceilings.

o. h2vc brick sidewalk laid
last fall. Now that spring has
arrived the brick is peeling and
chipping off. Is there something
that can be put over these bricks
to prevent further chipping?
Alt seems evident that the bricks
used here were too soft. We know
of no material you could apply over
them TO prevent further deteriora-
ton. If The bricks become too badly
damaged it will be necessary to re-
place them. In that case make sure
that the bricks are especially we'll
burned so as to make them suitable
for paving.
On painting newly plastered
walls is it necessary to glue size
them before painting? How many
coats of paint are necessary to
make good job?
> A-Newly plastered walls must be
sized before they are painted other
wise the paint will not adhere or may
be decomposed by elements in the
plaster, Good interior painting re-
quires three coats or more.
Owe have an old two story
house with living room running
all along one side. We wish to
extend the living room out max
Ing it twice as wide. 1t is 81
feet long. We do not wish posts
or partitions down the center.
Can it be done?
A-When you tear out the side
wall of the house to extend the liv-
ing room you will have TO support
the second story wall above. Since
you require that no posts be used in
the support, a beam cannot be EN-.
ployed A truss might be used, but
this would be quite expensive and
there may not be height enough for
it. Employ an architect to solve
your problem.
= Q-Some Of the brick in my
new walls have turned white.
What causes :his? Is there any
way to remove it?
A. HIS is teIIleu el1OTCSce1lCe.
1t is caused by salts being washed
out OF the brick and deposited on the
surfaces. 1t can be scraped off, but it
will return. 1t may be caused by
salts in the mortar or in the bricks.
See that the nearby down spouts do
not leak. If necessary. waterproof
the wall with transparent water
proofng.
OFF my contractor does not
pay for his materials can the dif-
fercnt dealers involved attach my
house? What can do if he does
not complete the house i'm the
agreed upon three months?
Aft your contractor does not pay
for materials and labor involved in
building your house, material dealers
and workmen can file liens on your
property and, if necessary. force a
sale of the property to make collec-
ton. To make sure that liens are
not filed, do not pay your contractor
until after he has paid material men
and workmen and shows receipted
bills therefor, together with signed
releases of lien. Hold out 10 per cent
on every payment until 80 days after
the house is completed and accepted.
II your house is not completed in the
time set you are not in a position to
do much more than complain unless
your contract provides for a penalty
for excess time and a reciprocating
bonus for time saved.

III has been argued, and wisely so
we think, that the cost of rent should
nave credited against it 4 sum which
would approximate the extra, value
that the home owner gets. The pro.
posal Is that the home builder est.
mate as well as he can in money the
actual worth of the extra pleasure
and accommodation he derives in
owning his own home. Some have
said that this is easily equal to the
interest on the home builders equity
and that il should be charged to
pleasure and not to rent" no matter
how wisely il may have been spent.
If this is true, the actual cost of rent
Is much reduced.
Two Ways TO Reduce Costs
In any event, the home builder
must work out for himself a finan-
cial statement including tho items
listed heretofore and properly ad-
justcd to the circumstances and thus
finally arrive at the net cost of own
ing his own homo.
If this net cost seems too largo in
proportion TO the home builders in;

" by which nc can own his own home
, would be for him to reduce the cost,
OF home building either by buying a
less expensive lot or by building u
less expensive home or by both.

fact that these must be chosen wisely
on the basis OF what the home builder

Probably the best and cheapest
method OF financing is through a

presumes that there Is an equity be-

cent of the value OF tho mortgage.
Many financing organizations will
not lend on n first mort gage any
thing like as much as ;hiS. They re-
uuire ratio Of 40 per cent or moro.
Thus the home builder would secure
only 60 per cent. or perhaps rs little
as 40 per cent Of the whole cost OF
the building plus the value of his lot.
