If the Basement Gets Damp, Better Clean The Stove Pipe and Store If in Dry Spot By HUBBARD

Your Handy Man

\ COBB, There are a lot of people who somewhere have got the impression that cleaning and preparing a heating system for the summer is a dirty and nasty job. How right they are. is, however, a very easy job because all you have to do is remove all the soot, all the ash, all the dirt and all the rust from ..all the furnace.” Then coat all the metal with oil or grease. If the basement gets damp during the summer months, take the stove pipe down, give it a good cleaning and store it in a dry place. If you have a dry basement, just give it a good cleaning

If you have a home repair problem, write a letter to Mr. Cobb, care of The Indianapolis Times. If your question is of general interest, an answer to it will appear in a forthcoming column on The Times Home Page.

After the paint is on

In any case, as this entire business is on the tricky side, it's’ a good idea to wait a spell after the first coat of paint has been applied to see what develops—if at all. If the first coat of paint gets by then you won't have any trou-

This hodge-podge of information was prompted by a letter asking us what the best time of year is to destroy wasps nests in the attic.

It's Cheaper to Buy Than Repair Heater Coil The interesting or rather calamitous question has come up as to whether it is better to have a leak in a hot water heating coil repaired or just go out and buy a new coil—an item of no slight expense. We did some checking up on this and find that in the long run it is wiser to get a new coil. A coil can be repaired but there is no telling how long it will hold. Maybe a week, maybe a year.

If it only holds a week and you do this routine a few times over you have just about spent what a new coil would have cost.

Going from hot to cold we point out that the reason why it is important to defrost a refrigerator at frequent intervals is that the ice that forms around the coils acts as an insulation.

The heavier the coating of ice the harder and longer the refrigerator has to work to keep the rest of the box at the right temperature. This working over-time doesn’t do the refrigerator one bit of good.
