Question: Because of the steel
shortage at the time when our
home was built, we used a dressed
8X8 fir beam in the basement.
Because of the drying the beam
has developed number of cracks
running lengthwise on one side.
The contractor says this is not
serious and does not weaken the
beam. I thought of filling the
cracks with wood putty or saw
dust mixed with varnish and then
coating the wood with linseed oil
and turpentine. The contractor
suggested covering the cracked
side with 1x8 board and then
painting the beam. What would
he best and what would make the
best appearance?
Answer: Ordinary small cracks
in beams or studs are not serious
and I am inclined to agree with
the contractor that this is SO in
your case. However, if you wish
to improve the appearance fill the
cracks with wood putty or the
sawdust mixture and, after the
filler has dried, apply a. couple of
coats of paint. This would cover
the filled areas and give the beam
an appearance of being solid.
Refinishing Piano.
Question: The present finish
on my piano is dark and dull. I'd
like to give it a shiny finish. Is
it advisable to use rubber base
paint, the same kind I intend toI
use on my walls?
Answer: Rubber base paint
should not be used on wood sur
faces. If the present finish OnI
the piano is mahogany, remove it'll
completely. and bleach out the
stain. One suggestion for the new
finish is high-gloss quick-drying

enamel. applied over the under
coater, as recommended by label
directions. Another type of finish
you could put on is a clear lacquer
sprayed on after the piano has
been stained with any of the light
modern shades.
House Without q Basement.
Question: What type of con-
struction is used for the founda-
ton and insulation of a house
that has no basement? What can
be done when the house is built
to make certain that it will be
warm and not damp or drafty?
Answer. In a house built with
out a basement, it is important
that the floor area be properly
insulated so as to prevent it from
becoming cold, drafty and damp.
If the first floor is to be of con-
crete slab construction, the con-
crete should be laid in two layers.
After the first layer has been
put down, the surface should be
coated with a liquid asphalt damp
proofing, then a layer of asphalt
saturated felt is put down over
tapping the sheets about Is per
cent of their width.
The asphalt should be mopped
between the laps and the surface
given another coat of dampproof-
ing. The outer edges of the con-
crete slab should then be insulated
with waterproof insulation.
Complete information on this
could be obtained from the Small
Homes Council of the University
of Illinois at Urbana. III. The cost

ing fluid and turpentine, but moth
ing seems to help. A stiff brush
removes some of the wax, but the
marks can still be seen. Would
painting help?
Answer: If you had scrubbed the
screening with coal Oil or turpen-
tine the paraffin would eventually
come off. Another method is to
scrub the wire cloth with a strong
solution of washing soda. using
about one cupful in each gallon
of hot water. Use it hot and,
lif necessary, put some securing
powder on the brush to help
brighten the metal.
To obtain a uniform color, it
will be necessary to scrub the en-
tire screen. Thorough rinsing with
clear water should follow. When
the metal is clean the screening
can be coated with a screen
enamel.
