|Examine Flue Closely |

With Flashlight, Mirror "People have been building bum | chimneys for centuries and you'll find them in both old and new

uses. oe No matter how new and modern the heating system in a house is,

you can't expect much out of it if the chimney is all wrong. A chimney should: be perfectly straight up an down and the best Jocation for it-is in the center of the house. It should extend at least three feet or so above the

one .of them is going to function very well. Check the outside of the chimney and see how strong thie mortar is between the bricks or stones. Either go on the roof or take a flashlight and mirror to. the base ment and examine the flue of the chimney. It should be made of flue tile and present a smooth surface. Look out for a case where one of! the house beams protrudes into the chimney flue. This will give any! draft a very hard time of it. A well-built chimney does not require additional bracing from the house. It should be able to stand on its own two feet.

Textured Walls Hard To Smooth Down

Now we take up case No. 888 being that of Mr. C. W. of Whipperville, who had all his walls textured and now finds out that if there is one thing he can't stand it's textured walls.

‘A textured wall in our language is a rough type finish which some people simply love and others like Mr. C. W. hate. Well, friend, there are a couple

textured plaster walls and both of them spell hard work. If things are really rough you can go to work with a little (ha ha) No. 2 sandpaper or an electric sander. This will take care of most of the high spots and after you've got all the dust off the wall and out of your eyes you want to give the wall a“ good When

For walls that are not very rough to start with a coat of plastic paint may be all that is required, The last item on this program is sanding down the wall until it is just moderately rough and then painting it with a regular wall paint.

A good way to save money is by| leaving out ‘the bridging whith nailed between the floor joists. {bridging consists, of pieces of. wood | °° or metal nailed between the joists to form an “X."
