Book of Bungalows.
Question: Can you give me the
name of a book or magazine that
gives plans or information about
small homes of bungalow type?
Answer: The Book of Small
Houses" published by Simon &
Shuster. 1856 Fourth avenue, New
York City, should be helpful. A
booklet of farmhouse plans, pub
lished by the Government, should
also be instructive and useful. Send
10 cents in coin to the Supt. of
Documents, Washington, and ask for

Ruined Raincoat.
Question: My sons raincoat was
dry cleaned. The cleaning process
removed all the waterproofing in the
material. Would it be possible to
waterproof it again?
Answer: For good results the
Waterproofing should be done pro-
fesslonally. You will find names of
firms doing this kind of work listed
in the classified telephone directory
under the heading of Water
proofing Textile"
Slate Roofing.
Question: The builder recon-
mends slate for the roof of a house
that intend to build. Do you think
it is as durable, and will it last as
long as ordinary cedar shingles?
Will We have trouble with the slate
breaking and causing leaks?
Answer-Like any other material
used in construction. quality is most
important. Slate of first quality
should last much longer than wood
shingles and require little or no
maintenance. Of course. the de-
sign of the house may have some
bearing on the type of roofing to
use. Roofing of any kind, if prop
erly laid, should not cause trouble.
Cracked Cement Stoop.
Question: A cement stoop which
has cracked was filled up with regu-
lar cement. This stoop is of a brown
color and the cracks have a differ
ent color. Should I paint the stoop
to get one color or is there special
preparation for this work?
Answer-Better results will be OBJ
tained If the old cement is taken out
OF the crack and replaced with a

cement mixed with a mineral color
to match. Otherwise your only
remedy will be to apply a cement
floor paint suitable for exterior use.
Because of the wear on the stair
treads, periodical repainting will be
necessary.
Rotted Siding.
Question: One of the sides of NV
very old frame house is starting to
rot. Inasmuch as this side is hidden
from view, and I do not intend to
spend much, what method of pro-
tecting and preserving the wood
would you advise?
Answer-Badly decayed wood
should be replaced. Slight decav
is removed by scraping to the sound
wood. Creosote is an excellent wood
preservative, provided the wood has
not been previously painted. Paint
ing is the only other means of pre-
serving a wood surface.
