Keep Cellar *~ Windows Down

- Wet Basement . Usually Caused By Condensation

Dampness on your cellar walls this time of year is usually caused by condensation, rather than by Jeaks in the foundation. to the cellar walls are surrounded by earth, they're cooler than the air in the spring and summer, Thus there's condensa-

contact with the cool walls and in severe cases, enough water will be formed to look like a leak. To make sure the water is not from a leak, however; keep. the cellar windows closed for a few days. If the damp spot tends to disappear, your problem Is condensation. -. Good ventilation is the surest way to keep a basement dry. In the majority of homes, cellar windows are at ground level and several feet above the floor, which means little or no, “air will circulate close to the floor. An electri: fan placed opposite the windows and pointed toward ‘them will help keep air moving. An exhaust fan In one of the windows is also satisfactory. Keep the windows closed on damp days. Cut Down Follage Heavy ‘foMage, shrubs. or bushes will cause the basement

“air to be damp by cutting down}

ventilation through cellar windows, and must be removed if you want a complete cure for condensation. Direet contact of air with the masonfy can be prevented by lining the wall with an insulating board, plywood or wall board material, nailed on one-inch furring strips and fastened to the masonry. Before lining, coat the wall with liquid asphalt or tar; otherwise the back of the board will rot. Besides preventing condensation, this procedure makes extra space available for living. Dampness of the air may be reduced by the use of chemicals which will absorb moisture. These materials must be renewed every

due to liquefication. Cold-water pipes and soil pipes, if in a horizontal position, will sweat during hot, humid weather and should be insulated with a material made especially for that

Color Beauty Key

To Home Interior

Color co-ordination will be the theme of the interior decoration of the Home Show.

Rhys T. Schmidt, lamp and ac-|.

cessory buyer at Adams and Co., Inc, who also Is furniture coordinator for the Grand. Rapids furniture makers, sald today that “the expansive house at the Home Show will be executed with colors fully showing the facility of the Guild cotor program.” «Mr, Schmidt stated that the; furnishings and colors in the “House That Grows” will be in the provincial modern vein, a motif new for this region. Brilllant colors are foiled with subdued or gray colons to give a touch of modernity.” ~The color used in the expandable house, Mr. Schmidt sald, Is the latest trend in balance. Describing the children’s bedroom Mr; Schmidt said, “This room has been planned to be functional in every detail for sleeping, playing and entertaining. They are primrose yellow, Wedgewood blue and hickory brown. : The kjtchen colors are planned 80 the effect of the glint of the kitchen will not be enough to interfere with the mother's relaxation. Much of the glare from the cabinets has been eliminated by genuine wood outside surfaces.
