QUESTION: We have a well
that supplies water for the house
and barn. The latter is consider
ably below the level of the house
and water runs by gravity to the
barn from a common storage tank
is there any arrangement by
which we could use a separate
tank for the house and keep UP
the pressure? Would a check
valve on the extra tank suffice
or would it be necessary to have an
extra pump?
ANSWER: I don't think check
valve would be Of any help or
the extra tank. The separate
pump for the tank to the barn
would be most practical. The con.
Meeting Of the two tanks to the one
pump would interfere with the
pressure that you want to maintain
in the tank supplying the house

do not know whether we should
put them on over the tin roof or
take the tin roof off. Some
people tell us to put the shingles
on over the tin roof and some
say to take the tin roof. What do
you think?
ANSWER: I personally think il
would be best to remove the old
tin roof and apply the shingle
directly over the wood sheathing
There is danger of the metal
buckling thus causing the shingles
on top to buckle.
