HousehoIders' Querie!
Touch on Insulation,
Ventilation, Glazing
By Roger c. Whitman

Question: Our kitchen is one
story lean-to attached to the main
part of the house. Last fall
poured mica insulation between
the joists over the ceiling and
installed one by 8-inch louver
in the exposed gable:
I have been told that this will
not provide enough ventilation for
the insulated area, and that ex-
ceSsive moisture will accumulate.
/ have been told also that
should use a roof louver on the
opposite end from the one I in
stalled. Do you think I have
enough ventilation with the one
A1ouver?
Answer: I do not think that
you have sufficient ventilation
and agree with the person who
suggested the installation of the
other roof louver. Since the in
Sulated area is over a room that
generates much moisture by cook
ing and possible laundering, sug-
gest that further precaution be
taken against the penetration of
moisture into the attic.
The kitchen ceiling should be
covered with an oilcloth type of
wall covering or with two coats
of aluminium paint, then finished
with enamel. A kitchen ventilat-
ing fan installed as near the stove
as possible is also a good idea.
Replacing Glass in Window.
Question: I have broken a pane
Of glass in a French window. How
can it be replaced?
Answer: Scrape out the putty
with a chisel or sharply pointed
beer can opener. Remove the
glass and sand off all traces of
putty. Before placing the new
sheet of glass. Put a small
amount of putty along the angle
of where the pane is to go, then
press the glass into position, fore
ing the putty into the joint. Sc
cure the pane in place with what
are known as glaciers points;
these are small, sharply pointed
metal triangleS.
Putty is then strung around
the outside of the glass and made
smooth with a putty knife. If
the wood in the area for puttying
is dry looking, coat it with paint
or linseed oil. Should the window
be of steel, a glazing compound
and not putty is used. This ma
terial remains elastic and expands
and contracts with temperature
changes.
Rusty Nail Heads.
Question: I applied the second
coat of paint on our new frame
house last fall, and now notice
that several nail heads are rust
ing through the paint. After the
first coat. I filled the nail holes
with putty and put on the second
coat over the sunken nail heads.
Would you recommend shell
lacking the rusty nails and paint
ing over them again? Would the
nails have to be sandpapered be-
fore shellacking?
Answer. The best procedure
would be to clean the nail heads
with steel wool and turpentine,
then touch them up with red lead
paint, allowing about one week
for drying. Fill the nail holes with
putty or Swedish putty (this is
spackle mixed with paint or var
nish), then apply the usual house
paint.

dow, it is necessary first to knock
off the heavy loose scale, the dirt
and peeling paint.
Then this rust-destroying solu-
ton should be applied with q
cloth or paint brush and allowed
to remain on the area from one
to five minutes depending on the
amount of rust.
Sufficient solution to keep the
rnsted area wet will insure pene-
|tration of the chemical to the
clear metal. Then the area should
be wiped clean.
