Choose Carefully
When You Remodel
By VIVIAN BROWN
AP Newsfeutures Writer

The do-it-yourself magazines
are filed with helpful con-
version hints these days.
Why not convert your tired
old closet into an ONCE?
Why not convert your tired
old ofilce into an closet?
A lot Of these ideas will be
put into operation-and then
shelved when the materials
are priced.
A recent brush with such a
project shows why.
This closet was an addition
In one corner of a room. Not
counting plaster, paint, out
side trim. the innards of this
little closet cost $40, including
q pair Of louvred doors bought
at a second hand shop for 81.
The aromatic ceder used to
line the coat closet cost Is cents
a square foot. a shock since
it was ordered without being
priced.
The cost Of building a little
garden gate and picket fence,
long the fancy Of song writer's
and poets. can run to a figure
calculated to dispel the ro-
nance Of the setting.
The 1860 do-it-yourselfer
must find new ways to cut costs.
Used lumber may be employed
in some areas. Old barn boards
may offer weatherbeaten
beauty as we'll as lower cost.
Used windows and doors cost
a fraction Of new ones, pro-
vided they are of the right
dimensions and are sound.
Homemakers see beautiful
pictures and ideas they'd like

to try-that little IL" shaped
room converted from two tiny
adjoining rooms: that bed
room built out Of an expan-
sion attic; that new entrance
way. Phrases include: Just
remove q wall" 90. for
coziness, add a fireplace to
your kitchen" TRY a new en-
trance way to your home"
All good ideas. But seldom
do we see q clue to the costs
of these projects.
Then there's the access

books. One kitchen fireplace
shelf was loaded down with
ancient pewter. Rockingham
ware. a Seth Thomas clock,
old copper. glass and a myriad
Of other treasures. Just try to
duplicate that setting.
Homemakers must face re-
ality, if they're to enjoy their
homes.
Apply the ideas to your own
income. Figure the entire cost
Of a room before you begin.
There are more unfinished
home projects than there
should be, because readers
have been mesmerized into
believing that the beautiful
little extra bedroom with its
museum-type accessories or
that screened-in patio can be
built for a song.

Knots Fall Out?

QMeStiOn We have been
considering putting up knotty
pine paneling. Our heater is
"catty-corner" and I have
heard that heat from the
stove will make the knots
fall out. Is there anything we
can do to prevent this?
Answer-Yes. Apply special
knot sealer, available at most
paint and hardware dealers,
following label instructions
carefully; or sand surface
smooth, be sure all trace Of
CRIME, SCOT, wax, etc., is re-
moved, and apply a coat Of
pure, fresh. white shellac,
thinned half-and-half with
denatured alcohol, to the
knotty areas.
Another thing you might
CONSIDER, and which will give
you more heat from the
stove: covering the wall area
behind the stove with alumni
mum foil. This will help re-
fleet most of the heat away
from the wall and back into
the room. You could try
painting it to make it less
conspicuous, although the
paint won't stay on too well.
Squeokins Floors
QuestiOn-What causes har,
maple floors to squeak? I car
find no loose boards and jac]
posts in the basement are firm
Answer Floors sometime
squeak because adjoining floor
boards rub against each othe,
when stepped on. Sprinklin,
talcum powder, powdered
graphite or one of the new
lubricants in plastic squirt
containers, available at hard.
ware dealers, between the nois,
boards often eliminates tn,
squeak.
Indentotions in LinoIeum
QuestiOn-Is there any wa,
to repair a new inlaid linoleun
that has deep indentation
and cuts caused by worn tin
on tubular furniture?
AnSwer-Yes. If the dam
aged area is relatively smal
and the indentations and cut
not spread far out, replacin,
with q patch of the same pat
tern hnoleum would be easies

mildew will discolor the white
gravel on a built-up roof.
Special paints are available
for spraying on the gravel to
renew the white color.
r. H.-An elevated hearth
is an architectural feature
and it has no bearing on the
efficient operation of the
fireplace.
Remove the Insulation
II built rooms in the un-
finished attic Of my Cape
Cod home and did not remove
the insulation beneath the
new floor. We extended the
heating system to these new
rooms but they are colder
than we would like them to
be. I can still get out most
of the insulation. Should it
be removed?" v. P. writes,
Answer-It is normal prac-
tice to remove the insulation
from beneath the floor and
relocate it in the ceiling of
the new room. II you do this,
you will get more heat into
the second story; but, of
course. this will come from
the first floor and this may
reduce the temperature in
this area slightly. Since the
thermostat is located on the
first floor, the furnace will
make up this loss provided it
is not undersized for the in
creased heating area.
This Bleach Works
Birch cabinets in my
kitchen were stained cherry.
I would like to restore them
to their original color. Can
this be done?" M. M. asks.
AnSwer-A two solution"
bleach, available at the
larger paint stores, will re-
move most stains from wood.
Evening star., 1961-02-11

All Of the varnish or other
finishing m a terial on the
cabinets now must flrst be
removed with q chemical
varnish remover before the
bleach is applied. Directions
for the use Of the bleach
must be carefully followed or
the powerful chemicals may
burn the wood. Be sure to
wear rubber gloves while
doing this work.

Question - Twenty one
yeazS ago we purchased a
twoSstory brick house, Gin
der block foundation covered
with stucco. There always
has been q crack in the plas-
ter In a room or two. But in
the past year every room has
cracked plaster in the center,
in the ceiling, and in the side
walls. We can feel the vibra-
ton Of airplanes and won-
dered what causes these ter
ribls looking cracks.
Answer - From your de-
scription, you've answered
the question yourself as re-
CARDS the cause: vibration
due to heavy air traffic. Not
much you can do about it,
other than covering these
areas with painters muslin Ia

If you are one of the null
titude whose estate does not
include a greenhouse, you still
can have one in miniature
and keep flowers blooming in
it all winter.
We have a window extern
sion that serves well for that
purpose when it is located in
a window facing south so as
to take advantage of all
available sunlight. If you let
the wife know that it makes
an ideal auxiliary refrigera-
tor when placed in a north
window (provided you live in
a cold climate), you will have
to build two, or lose your
greenhouse.
The front of this enclosure
is a standard wood frame
storm sash that can be pur-
chased from most lumber
dealers. If your window
presently is fitted with such
a sash, use it and save the
cost of a new one.
The extention must be
accurately made so as to fit
perfectly into the window
frame area normally occu-
pied by the storm sash.
Three wood screws through
each side holds 1t in posi-
ton. The two sides and bot
tom are cut from l2-inch
boards. The dimensions are
the nominal dimensions of
the lumber used. The top Is
a 6-inch board. A middle
shelf is optional and the
width is made to suit.
# your window height ex-
ceeds 4 feet. the width Of the
bottom should be extended to
Is or 10 inches so as to pro-
vide slope to the glass that
will let in more sunlight. Two
boards then will be necessary
for bottom and sides and
these are held together with
corrugated fasteners.
Across the top front Of
the enclosure. nail q one-by-
two-inch board. Install half
of q pair Of storm sash
hinges on this and fasten
the other half on the sash.
Hooks and screw eyes can
be used to hold the sash
closed but storm sash window
fasteners are preferred. The

Answer-The door frame

one Of the hinges has shifted;
in either case, the door is
