Hardened Cement
QuestiOn-How can ! re-

Answer-Moisten the ce.

few minutes - only long
enough to soften the cement
and not attack the metal
underneath-then flush of

scrape on the cement with a
dull tool, to avoid scratching
the barrow. Repeat applica-
ton, If necessary. Because Of
the highly corrosive effect of
the acid, be sure to wear
heavy, old clothes, goggles to
protect the eyes, rubber gloves
on the hands. rubbers over

reaching the top. This liquid
may work through cracks in
the masonry to the outside of
the chimney. or collect in
drops and run down. Build
ing a larger fire, to heat the
chimney thoroughly elimi-
mates this.
The liquid often drips
through the joints Of a long
stovepipe Of a wood-burning
stove. Jointing of the pipe
sections should be changed.
Instead of fitting the upper
end of a section inside the
lower end Of the section
above. this should be re-
versed so that the upper end
is outside the bottom end of
the higher section. The liquid
will then run down the pipe,
into the stove where it will
be consumed. 7
Gun Rusting
Question II would like
some information on building
q gun closet or chest which
I want to keep in the base
ment. What should ! do to

vent ruSting2
Answer - For plans on

met, write to Western Pine
Association, Yeon Building,
Portland 4, Greg. To keep
dampness from closet, install
an electric damp chaser,
which is a rod-like small ap-
pliance that is plugged into
an outlet, uses very little
current but serves to keep en-
closed areas dry and the air
circulating. 1t is available at
large housewares and electric
appliance dealers.

Then remove all rust by rub

Garage Floor
= Question: want to put
|. down a concrete floor in the
, garage. Is it necessary to
cover the earth under the
concrete first?
. Answer-Concrete for a
garage floor can be laid di-
rectly on the earth. The
earth carries the weight; the
floor serves only to take the
4 wear. If the earth is firmly
packed, a thickness OF 4
inches is sufficient for the
floor. Covering the earth with
one or two thicknesses of
polyethylene plastic. pouring
the concrete on top, will keep
the floor dry and prevent the
sconcrete from picking UP
moisture.
; Dented Competing
a Question Il want to re-
arrange the bedroom furni-
ture, but find the wall-to-wall
.carpeting has been dented by
the heavy pieces. How can
these dents be removed and
: the nap brought up again?
I Answer - Steam the in
dentionS with a steam iron,
or cover with q damp cloth
and press with a hot iron.
The moist heat will cause
the nap to spring back. Fin
ish with a stiff brush.
Vopors Steam Windows
4 Question - Our house is
about IS years old; we bought
ut a year ago. Our windows
steam terribly in wintertime
when we boil food. Even when
we use the gas oven to bake,
the same thing happens.
What causes this and is
there any way to prevent
this? -.-
Answer-The steaming win
dowS are caused from the
moisture created by cooking
vapors: during the winter,
with closed windows, this has
no way to escape unless an
exhaust fan, vented to the
outdoors, is installed, or the
windows are left open for the
vaporS to escape. Adding to
the problem is the fact that
gas heat is damp.
CFeosote Problem
QuestiOn-We burn wood
in the kitchen stove for cook
ing in our summer shack. The
stove is vented to a brick
chimney with long pipe and
creosote drips through the
joints. How can this be
remedied?
Answer - Wood contains
much volatile material which
is vaporized and carried OF
as smoke when the wood is
burned. Within the chimney,
if these vaporS are cooled
enough on contact with the
masonry so that they con-
dense, a creosote-like liquid
Is formed on the sides of the
fiue. This is generally the
case when a small fire is
connected to a large hue.
With low heat, the air
movement within the flue will
be so slow that the gases

Allow paint to stand at

occasionally while painting.
For printing new wood, or
for a first coat on porous
painted wood, thin the paint
with linseed oil and turpen-
tine mixed in equal parts.
1t is cheaper to make paint
using dry pigment, but more
difficult to mix than when
prepared from paste: paint
also settles more rapidly and
is not as smooth and uniform
with dry pigment.
Removing Putty
QuestiOn-How can putty
be removed from light pam
elingg I used it in the cracks,
but It shows UP like plaster.
Tried several removers. but
mo results.
AnSwer-Try careful re-
moving with a sharp-pointed
beer can opener or similar
tool, Or soften the putty
with a small pointed solder
ing gun, being careful not to
scorch the paneling.
A puttylike stick, In va
rious popular wood colors, Is
now available for filing
cracks; it is carried by ply

Area a Factor
Undoubtedly, the size Of
the area is important but,
even so. it is the appearance
that should be the determin-
ing factor. A large front
yard covered with gravel
would hardly be desirable.
Yet in a small area it has its
advantages.
Gravel is often associated
with Japanese landscapes,
which are quite small and
they employ rocks and a few
dwarf shrubs to carry out
the design. The upkeep of a
gravel-covered area is neg
ligible, but it is not desirable
as q playground.

In Holiday magazine August issue. Critic
Kenneth lyman sums it up succinctly:
But it wasn't only talent that made the
period so prolific. Survey the balance sheets,
and at once the golden age yields up its secret.
In 1850, the total budget for a typical Philco
Playhouse was something like $13 900, of which
$3,OOO went to the cast Fred Coe told me
few months ago that the last Playhouse 80 he
produced had run up total bill of close on $l40-
600. In 10 years, costs have multiplied many
times over.
What happened was that the networks
began to compete with each other, ptting show
against show, star against STAR and forcing up
prices in their eagerness to force up ratings.
With the larger budgets came the bigger spon-

If the mounting itself is

I hope you find these sug-
geStionS helpful.
