The shadow-box screen is an idea for the garden enthusiast. This fence adds visual appeal to planted -areas and outdoor living space and, combined with potted plants, ceramics or other decorations, becomes an integral part of the garden. Waterproof Glue Like the other fences, the sha-dow-box is made with exterior type fir plywood, which has fully waterproof glue. • Fence posts and rails are 2x4s, preferably cedar or redwood, Batts that divide the panels into squares are Ix2s and step boards are Ixls. Alternate panel sections may be finished in contrasting colors for more eye appeal. For an extra - smooth, easily maintained surface you may want to use overlaid plywood. These panels have a layer of resinimpregnated fiber permanently bonded to each face. Planter shelves may be installed in two ways, both detailed in the free plans. Effective for Slope The stepped-screen fence is a variation of the shadow-box and has alternating open areas at the top of the sections. The exterior type plywood panels are placed horizontally, with 2x4 posts and frames. The stepped design is particularly effective on lots with a

Closet Door Perfect Place For Shoe Shining Kit

Here’s away to get the shoeshine equipment out of that junk drawer in the kitchen and out where it will do the most good. The handy shoe stoning kit pictured here goes right on the back of a closet door, keeping brushes and polishes handy for the moment you discover the bloom has left your oxfords. One of the problems of putting a unit like this on a door is created by the extra weight the hinges must carry. But even light door hinges are up to this one, built from less than a sheet of thin fir plywood. Rests on Floor The hollow post for supporting the shoe and foot during the shining operation folds away from the storage unit and rests on the

Noisy Roof Can Rattle Any Family The gentle pitter-patter of rain on the roof is a soothing sound most everyone enjoys. But did you know it's possible for a root to be annoyingly noisy? Under certain conditions, wind can set up an irritating vibration in some metal roofs, particularly on a modern, low-pitched roof. Hail or a hard rain may create objectionably loud noise. Even natural expansion and contraction can create disturbing : sounds. < Unlike roofs of more rigid materials, asphalt shingles provide a quiet roof because they are flexible. They shrug off rain, hail, sleet, snow, ana ice effectively for years, yet reduce the sounds of impact to a Whisper. | COMB CLEANS BELT * Use the flat edge Os a fine comb to clean a dogged sanding belt

HOT Water Needed For Sanitary Dishes How hot is the dishwater you use? It should be at least 140* to remove grease film and kill household germs. If you wash dishes by hand, you can't stand it that hot, even if you wear rubber gloves. That's one reason women like automatic electric dishwashers. A dishwasher cleanses dishes, pots and pans, and utensils several times in water much hotter than hands can stand, then dries them thoroughly in hot air. Hands are spared, but soil and germs are not - Cooling Costs High fe Without Insulation w Unless you want to throw money away, don’t try to air condition any house until it’s thoroughly insulated. If walls, ceilings, and floors are properly insulated with mineral wool, a smaller air conditioning unit can be used. It will cost Itos to buy and to operate than « larger one.
