Compact Furnace Will Allow Greater Use

Of Basement for Several New Purposes By HUBBARD COBB, Your Handy Man : We received a letter from a man last week who said that considering the fact his wife loves to spend several hours in the basement tending the hand-fired furnace, could we supply him with any other reasons why he should install an automatic coal stoker, gas, or oil burning plant. : Well, to begin with, the primary advantage of any automatic

Last but not least, a nice compact automatic furnace will allow you to use the basement for some other purpose besides a combination coal bin and junk yard. Some people have the idea that in the case of a warm-air heating system, automatic burners of any type will blow up clouds of dirt and dust through the registers. This“ is a horrible cause the air that comes up through the registers never gets into direct contact with the flame. If it did then this would be a great world for pyromaniacs.

appear, it just finds other spots to collect on such as cold water pipes, the sides of flush tanks and the basement walls and floor. It’s easy to see why all this happens: The walls and roof of the house are warm these days but the cold water pipes are just what it says on the faucet, “cold,” and 80 you get condensation of water vapor and pools of water all over the place. The cure here is to in-

Flush tanks are not so easy as the only completely satisfactory remedy is to run a hot water line into the tank so that the water in the tank and therefore the sides and bottom are nice and warm. Masonry walls under ground level will stay cool all summer long and the dampness resulting from the condensation on them will make the basement a fine place to stay away from: One good remedy is to give the
