Q-Sometimes it's very difficult
to remove old putty from a win
dow frame. Is there any easy way
to get it off?
A-One fairly easy way is to
run a hot soldering iron across
the putty, just ahead of your
putty knife. The heat will soften
the putty and il will come off
more easily.
O. When installing mineral
wool bats as attic insulation, is it
important to fill the small, odd
shaped spaces around pipes and
electric cable? Or is it sufficient to
insulate the clear, open spaces be-
tween studs and rafters, assuming
that the odd-shaped spots are so
few and small they don't matter?
Alt is highly important not
to miss a spot. A conscientious
job of installation is required if
mineral wool is to give its full
measure of summer and winter
comfort and fuel savings. If pos
sible, slide the insulation between
pipes or cable and the wall. If
there isn't enough room to do
this, slit the bait or blanket and
sandwich the pipe or cable be-
tween the two pieces.
Q-The paint on the outside of
my house looks dingy, even
though it was put on only a little
over year ago. Is it possible to
wash exterior paint?
A-Soap and water often can
freshen exterior paint. Use an or
dinary scrubbing brush. If the
brush is attached to a pole, you
won't have to move the ladder so
much. Start washing at the bot
tom of the house and work UP.
This will prevent the dirty water
from running over dry parts of the
wall and leaving hard-to-remove
streaks. After whole wall has
been washed, it can be rinsed
with a garden hose.
Q-My chimney is clogged. How
can l clean it out?
Await till after a rain when
the SCOT is moist. Fill a burlap
bag with straw and put a heavy
rock in the bag to weight it. Then
drag the bag up and down the
chimney, loosening SCOT as it goes.
The SCOT that is loosened will fall
to the base of the chimney. 1t can
then be removed through the
clean-out door at the bottom of
the chimney.
