A saber saw will make quickest work of the cutting, but a coping saw, jig saw or keyhole saw will do the job. All the pieces lock together and the whole project, except for finishing, can be completed in one evening. The animals were designed by architect Philip Thiel to take advantage of the great strength of plywood, and its easy finishing qualities.

The materials are available at any lumber dealer’s retail store and many dealers will cut out the pieces for you to assemble and finish, if you’d rather not do it at home. Plans are available from the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Wcoma 2, Wash. Include 10 cents to cover the cost of postage and be sure to specify which animal you want.

Right Roofing Laughs Off Big Winds Severe hurricanes, such as the late, death-dealing and destructive Donna, usually leave a path of damage so wide and great that there’s little room for mention in news bulletins of socalled “minor” damage to homes in the path of the big blow. Yet these “minor” damages—things like fallen shade trees and houses stripped of roofing—often exert extreme hardships on homeowners who are victims. A wind-shattered shade tree, for example, takes years to replace. Its loss may sharply reduce the value of the property, With ordinary roofing. and can mean many long, uncomfortable summers if the tree shaded the house. Roofing material can be replaced, but its loss in a windstorm may mean disaster to a home. Most windstorms are accompanied or followed by deluging rains. When roofing is tom away by high winds, these rains pour into the house, saturating plaster; getting into insulation and wiring circuits, and soaking clothing, furniture, and other possessions. Unless a homeowner has special windstorm insurance, this kind of damage can deal his family a severe financial setback. With wind-resistant roofing. So-called “extended coverage” policies often fail to cover water damage. The best insurance against roof and rain damage in a windstorm is to prevent it with a wind-resistant roof of self-seal-ing or interlocking asphalt shingles or by cementing down conventional shingle tabs.

Wise Handyman Stays Off Roof "■ tv* < < '*' s f SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD. Precarious perch of this workman applying finishing touches to a new roof of asphalt shingles shows why roofing is no job for the home handyman. It’s too dangerous and requires special techniques and knowhow. But roofers who apply asphalt shingles have developed skills that come with years of experience that insure low application costs as well as catlike sure footedness. Properly applied by professionals, asphalt shingles do the job they are designed to do: provide a roof that will give trouble-free protection for years, improve the appearance of the house, and add to 1 its value on the resale market. Adds Character Rough sawn lumber and old brick make a warm textured finish for a family room. Western red cedar is particularly effective because of its soft red and brown coloring. More Owners More than 60% of all U. S. families today own their own homes. The percentage of home ownership has increased rapidly since World War 11.

Rugged Roofing Has Many Roles ' In Construction ! Asphalt roofing products are designed primarily for roofing i but they have become among the most versatile building materials available today. Chiefly, this is because asphalt is the best waterproofing agent known. Asphalt roofing products also are pliable as well as tough and long-lasting. i I Here are just a few of the non-roofing uses for these asphalt products: Asphalt roll roofing makes an' attractive, garden walk, and is effective as a lining for swimming pools and gutters. Farmers often use it as temporary flooring for livestock shelters, and to construct temporary grain cribs. Asphalt-saturated felt, designed as under layment for roofs, is used widely between sheathing and exterior siding on all kinds of structures, and is an effective ground cover in crawl spaces, keeping moisture in the ground and out of the house. In roofing, there’s an asphalt product to fit every possible need. Asphalt shingles provide color ana soft-textured richness for homes. They are available in wind-resistant applications, and are fire-resistant. Asphalt roll roofing is ideal for farm buildings and many industrial structures. Built-up asphalt roofing is used for most flat-roofed structures. Hide Rods A wooden valance will hide ugly curtain rods. You can make a valance from clear Douglas fir Ix 6 inch lumber and paint it any color desired. Better Looking Because they are better looking and have better insulating qualities, wood windows were preferred by homemakers almost two to one in a recent national survey.
