Staple Gun Speeds Chores

Like so many tools first designed for the professional craftsman, the staple gun has now found its way into more than 4,000,000 homes. In addition to being used for such basic jobs as tacking down upholstery and tacking up insulation, the newer models are so versatile, easy to use. and speedy that they are increasingly being used to replace small nails, brads, tape, adhesives and pins. Basically a staple gun drives a “double nail" in about one tenth the time it takes to drive a single tack, and wil Ido many jobs that are simply impractical for any other tool. Hundreds of uses fqr staple guns have been listed, but their application is literally as broad as the user’s “SANDPAPER SLIDE” ends when the sandpaper is stapled to side of a block of. scrap lumber, an easy professional trick. ■V W wgESU j/ Ha ’ ALWAYS HANDY but out of the way is a yardstick, when it’s stapled to front of workbench, level with the top surface.

imagination. Here are some tips on using a staple gun properly. 1. Lean into the handle* with the heel of your hand rather than squeezing up with your fingers to make a fist. This makes for better stapling and substantially reduces the effort. 2. When stapling in hard woods, place the thumb of your free hand on the head of your staple gun to keep it from “bouncing". Many of the new models have a white "power dot” to indicate thumb placement. In any application, keep the staple gun base flush with the work surface. 3. Make sure you are using the right staple.

For spring has been the traditional season for cleaning since early Biblical days when it was customary to bring livestock into the house or tent during winter. Naturally, when spring finally “sprung,” there was a good deal of cleaning and repairing to be done, both inside and out. Today, spring cleaning is not only a colorful custom, but also an essential operation in maintaining a high and healthy standard of “liveability” through repairs, replacements and remodeling. — l —< ’ Start your spring spruce-up right now by running down this checklist of potential trouble spots. On the Roof Inspect roof for shingles which have been torn loose or -curled upward by wind. These should be renailed, or cemented down with a liberal dab of roofing cement. On the roof, check condition of motar around chimney, and look for holes, cracks or corrosions in metal flashings. If severely damaged, the flashing should be replaced. (Call in a . professional roofer for this job.) Minor cracks or small rusted areas can be re-. paired temporarily by coating with a heavy layer of roofing cement. Check gutters and downspouts for damaged connections and cloggings. Refasten hangers which have worked loose and remove debris collected during winter. Around the Walls Examine clapboard or shingle siding for cracks or rotted places. Prompt application of caulking compound or white lead putty will prevent moisture from entering. In severe cases, replace shingles or length of clapboard - * as soon as possible.

Family's Short-Order Cook Needs Automatic Equipment

Does it remind you of home when you see a short-order cook making pancakes, hamburgers, bacon, and eggs simultaneously on an electric grill? Almost every homemaker has to do the same thing—and she deserves electric cooking equipment as accurately controlled as the professional’s. A family breakfast may in* elude wanning a jar of baby food, poaching one egg, scrambling another egg, and frying bacon and pancakes-all at the same time. Food also has to be kept warm until it’s served. This takes experience—it also lakes a good range with accurately controlled heat that can be trusted not to sneak up under the pancakes or rubberize the eggs. New electric ranges with their trustworthy timers and accurate heat controls are the home-style short-order cook’s best friend. If it’s one of the new electric ranges with double oven and a thermostatically controlled surface element or two, so much the better. One oven can be used for

Do’s and Don’t* Decorating with Color

DO USE LIGHT COLORS in a small room to create an impression of greater size. DON’T USE TOO MUCH pattern, in any room. This can be distracting and tiring. DO PUT EMPHASIS on warm reds and yellows in rooms that are windowless or face toward the northeast. DON’T USE BRIGHT COLOR in large areas, as this will detract from the furnishings. DO HAVE CONTINUING COLOR flow through the house, and use harmonious colors in rooms that adjoin. DON’T USE TOO MANY cool blue hues in a northeast room or it will seem to be cooler. co and other masonry walls with caulking compound or patching cement. Do same with cracks* or openings in walks, patios and other concrete surfaces. Check exterior of house for worn, blistered of peeling paint. Examine window heads and lintels (framing above windows and doors) for deteriorating caulking and replace whereever required. Check window panes for cracked putty. Clean, patch and paint screens. Use metal corner brackets to reinforce screen frames which have begup to work loose at corners. About Foundations Check ground around foundations for holes left by washouts and fill them with layers of sand or gravel, topped with sod at grade level. Repair foundation cracks with a pitch base waterproofing cement that can be applied with a pointing tool, trowel or putty knife. Look for signs of termites around all foundation walls, crawl spaces and basement areas. Elimate all possible connections between the ground and wooden parts of the house. Indoors, check for cracked plaster or wallboard; split, worn or loose floor tile; cracked basement masonry; overloaded electrical circuits; cracked or stained plumbing fixtures: and worn, split or loose stair treads and risers. Give the home heating and hot water system an annual tunup and adjustment. Call in a service man for this job. Outside, look for fenceposts which have worked loose; bushes or trees which have split or arc leaning against the house; weakened TV antennas: damaged pipes and warped or split boards in porch floors or exterior walls.

DO MIX LIGHT AND DEEP colors in each room. DON’T USE TOO MUCH red or yellow in a southwest room with large windows, or it will seem warmer. DO PAINT THE CEILING of a room a deeper color than the wallls, if it is very high. This makes it appear lower. DON’T PAINT GLARING architectural features, such as radiators, to contrast with their background. This wil lemphasize them. DO REMEMBER COLORS are relative and must be seen together. DON’T USE GLOSSY PAINTS on walls or ceilings of living areas, since such surface creates glare. DO STUDY COLOR SWATCHES in both day and night light; colors often change under artificial light. DON’T HAVE ALL SHINY or all rough-textured fabrics in one room — vary them for visual interest.
