PATIO PLANTER FURNITURE Makin'things Planter furniture beautifies patio

By ED and STEVIE BALDWIN Mixing pretty flowers and plants with your patio furniture serves three purposes. The furniture looks terrific on your patio, it provides extra seating and you have a nice way to display your plants. This project can be made in many variations, but basically is two plywood boxes surrounded by 2-by-4s which provide seating and stabilization. Patio furniture to complement the planter bench pictured also is included in plans you can order below. THE MATERIALS you’ll need are 10 x-by-4s, each 6 feet long, and a piece of 3/4-inch-thick exterior grade plywood, 26 by 96 inches. You'll also need Scrap 1-inch lumber for spacers. To build the planter bench, start with the plywood boxes. Cut five pieces of plywood, four of them 17 inches long. Cut two side pieces 12 inches wide, the back and front pieces 13 1 2 inches wide, and cut one 12-inch square for the bottom. Nail the five pieces together to form a

12-inch (interior dimension) box. Use galvanized finishing nails and exterior glue. CUT THE 2-by-4s 33 inches long for the center seat section. Insert 5/8-inch spacers between each 2-by-4 and nail and glue the center section together. Attach the plywood boxes to each end of the center section and add a 6-inch overhang on the outer side of each box. The front and back 2-by-4s each are exactly 6 feet long. To finish, we added 2-inch trim pieces to the top and base of the boxes and drilled holes in the bottoms of the boxes for drainage. Then we painted the finished planter bench with redwood stain.

It’s so expensive these days. A. You can make a semi-soft soap gel with the following recipe. Use 1 ounce of soap pieces to 4 ounces of water. Cut the soap into very small pieces. Heat the water in the top of a double-boiler, then add the soap pieces. Melt until the mixture is smooth. Don’t cook it any longer than necessary. You can eliminate any remaining lumps by putting it in a blender. Pour the mixture into a wide-mouth container or dish; let cool. Choose a pretty container and it can double as a soap dish.

Dampness destroys Conditions during and after flooding are ideal for the growth of molds and mildews-and that persistent musty odor, according to Betty H. Sendmeyer, extension home economist. Water may not be present, but the dampness goes to work on all areas that are warm, poorly aired and poorly lighted such as closets, luggage, trunks and storage places not ventilated. Rugs and upholstered furniture are especially subject to attack. Molds flourish under such conditions. Mildew discolors and, in time, weakens fibers. Both are hard to combat and overcome once they have a good start. The best bet, if flooding is. likely in the basement or even the first floor, is to get all household goods up and out of the way. Even high moisture during a “wet” spring can help molds and mildew grow. Cleaning up afterward is a major chore. Adequate ventilation is a preventive if the air outside is dry. Open windows and doors; separate and air clothing, bedding and linens. Boost air movement with electric fans. Leave closet doors and drawers open for air circulation as long as moisture is detected. The idea is to force the moist air out of the house as quickly as possible. Use a small electric light in closets but be certain that no clothing or containers are close to the bulb. A 25- to 50-watt bulb will do wonders to dry out a small area and offset dampness at night or on a damp day. Put a dehumidifier to work. Close both windows and doors when removing excess moisture by using the dehumidifier. Chemicals, such as silica gel or calcium chloride, can also be used to reduce moisture. These are sold in department stores, drug stores and by building supply dealers. Check your local dealer. Once they are saturated with moisture, the chemicals can be dried out and then reused. These come in handy to keep dampness out of homes when the electricity is cut off.
