Easy Ways To Make Quick Check Os Yoir Plumbing The plumbing system constitutes a vital working part of a house, but because it is largely concealed behind walls and under floors, most home owners are at a loss to check its efficiency. 1. To check whether pipes are large enough, leave the water running full force in the kitchen and turn it on at the same time in the bathroom. If there is a marked reduction in the flow, then it may be time to get some advice from a reliable plumber. 2 Check fixtures to see whether they are chipped or scratched. 3. To save redecorating costs, be sure that bathroom floors and walls are surfaced with waterproof materials. Because it is moistureproof and permanent in color, ceramic tile is an, ideal bathroom material. Ceramic tile contractors in your community can show colors and patterns to blend or contrast with plumbing fixture colors and can demonstrate inexpensive new ways to replace substitute floor and wall coverings. 4. Drop a cigarette in the bowl of the water closet and then flush it. It should flush completely and refill quietly. 5. Check finishes in shower staAs and on walls around shower fixtures. A material such as cef-' amic tile, which won’t be damaged by steam, is a necessity for such spaces. 6. Inspect sinks, wash basins and bathtub for rust stains. They indicate leaky faucets, and you may have not only to repair faucets but also replace the damaged fixtures. 7. Check tiling around tub. If htere is a tub-shower, the ceramic tile work should extend to the height of the shower curtain bar or to the ceiling. When tile work is too low, surfaces above it will be damaged by water and require frequent redecorating.

Here a vertical pattern can make it seem a foot higher. You can use stripes or stripe effects, and this gives you a big field to choose from. Wallpaper can do a good camouflaging job for you too. Many houses have problem areas such as jogs and beams, or too many openings such as closets, doors and windows <this is particularly true in older houses). Small scale geometric patterns, simulated textures. all-over non-directional florals or colorful plaids can cover over uneven walls, columns and beams. Decorative Ideas But apart from all these “architectural” improvements that can be made with wallpaper, it can also be a tremendous help to those of you with special decorating ideas in mind. Let us suppose that you have a great hankering for the Early American look that is so popular these days. Your furniture may be a mixture of many styles, but your first step would be to suggest the right atmosphere by using an appropriate Early American design on your walls. The same idea of course, applies to any particular style or period that you may prefer, whether it be contemporary. Oriental, traditional or French provincial Blade Holds Screws If screws must be started in a hares-to-get-at location, use tape over the tip of a screwdriver to wedge screw tightly onto blade tip. Layers of paper may also be used to accomplish the trick. Tip On Soldering A wet rag, wrapped around a newly soldered sweat joint on copper pipe, prevents the joint from loosening up when heat is applied to a nearby joint. Heat applied to adjoining members is often sufficient to melt newly soldered joints. Construction Costs Cut By Electric Heating An important advantage of electric heating in a new home is that overall construction costs often are reduced considerably. This is because an electric re-sistance-heating system needs no furnace room, furnace or boiler, pipes, ducts, or chimney. From an operating cost standpoint, the chief reason modem electric heating' is economically practical today is Ihick insulation. When mineral wool is installed in thick quantities, electric heating compares with other types of heating in areas where electric rates are low, jljwmmmmmmmmbmmwm O DECATUR READY-MIX CONCRETE!

Building a House by Degrees Good Idea, If You Build This Two-Stage Vacationer

Building a house by degrees doesn't sound very realistic, since there's alwavs the question of where you re going to live while you build. But here's a leisure home you can take your time finishing. and still spend your week ends and vacation in real comfort. , , , A complete kitchen is included in the first stage of this attractive cabin. It includes a stove and refrigerator, installed in the kitchenette area of the 16x20 foot cabin, along with a dressing area, small living-sleeping area, and a sun deck. A full-size bathroom also is part of the plans, but can be added between the first and second stages of construction if you're on a tight budget. Without utilities, you ' can have this cabin for about SIOOO. An additional S6OO would be needed to add utilities. The second stage of this attractive second home brings the livable indoor space to 20x20 feet and adds two bedrooms. It's possible, with very little of the usual vacation time crowding, to sleep seven persons comfortably. ;=, , Lots of Advantages The additional space costs about SSOO, bringing total cost for the cabin to about S2IOO. This would vary a little, depending on local A prefabricated fireplace adds a cozy touch to the interior for the cool evenings. Screen Cleaning Pieces of carpet, nailed to blocks of wood, are handy for dusting off wire screens. They may also be used to apply paint or varnish when the screens are clean.

prices and the complexities of your site, which would be extra Architect Walter D. Widmeyer designed this cabin to be built by an amateur carpenter, but with some advantages not usually found in do-it-yourself projects. This is a house that can literally be built jn your basement or garage in town. Sections can be prefabricated, loaded in a trailer or on top of your car or station wagon and hauled to the site. There, it's a matter of only a few minute to have each section in place. Widmeyer relied heavily on the large size and high strength of full-size sheets of fir plywood in his design. One 4xß-foot panel, with framing already applied in your spare moments during the week, makes a four-foot wide section of wall that needs to be merely set in place and nailed down. Framing Is Simple Floor framing, resting on a system of piers, is simple and requires a minimum of cutting. Fullsize sheets of %-inch exterior type fir plywood go directly over the framing to provide a floor surface in themselves or to act as under-

layment for tile floor. . Another advantage of Widmey er's design is that all of the ply* wood surfaces except the roof deck may be left unfinished indefinitely This material will not delaminate. although it may face check in the weather, as any wood will do But this type of construction. with wide-spaced studs and expanses of clear wood, doesn t present the cluttered appearance of unfinished conventional building. Designed For A View The compact house can easily be oriented to a view of water or mountains and the large front windows offer both a clear view and a good light source for the interior of the cabin. A fireplace is included in the cost of the first stage and goes a long way toward making this a cozy place in the after-sundown cooling period. Another of the extras included in the plans, and the cost, of this cabin is a prefabricated fir plywood wardrobe, a real vacation convenience. Complete. easy-to-follow —plans for this cabin are available for 25 cents from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association. Tacoma 2. Wash. Ask for the Two-Stage Vacationer..
