paint his house and it's not a very big house at that. This guy isn't” lazy either. It's just that he doesn't believe in knocking himself out trying to get the whole house done in a couple.of week-ends and in a broiling sun What he does is to paint one side per season and he selects the side that will be in the shade during that particular period For example, in the spring, just as soon as the weather becomes warm and dry he goes on and paints the east side of the house That's all he dces for the time heing When summer comes out boy goes out’ and spends a few hours doing the north side of the house After that he tak: another long rest until late sum mer and then he paints the west side of the house. He holds otf

doing the south side of the house until early fall when the weather has begin to cool off a little As he does a complete side of the house at a time, the place never looks very bad even though it takes him the entire summer and part of the spring and fall to finish the job. As he takes

things easy he is able to do a really first class job and really gets his money's worth out of

each gallon of paint

House Short-Cricuts

Now and then when you touch metal electric lamp or light fixture you may receive something that is best described as a tingling sensation. This is known in the trade as a “shock” and while a mild one won't hurt you, mild ones do have a habit of growing into something more severe, A shock received from a metal fixture is a pretty good indication that something is out of whack mostly in-the wiring. What you should do f¢ to turn off the electric current to the fixture and ther, start a pretty complete disassembly to find what's causing the trouble, In some cases it is due to cracks or worn spots on the inSulation. of the wires and in this

“event it is best to install a new

cord. The spots can, of course, he patched up with friction tape but if the insulation has failed in one place it will probably fail in other spots shortly. Another cause for short-circuits is a poor connection between the wires and the fixture terminal screws, Check these and if you find little st ands of wires going off in all directions, trim them off with a knife, Also check to be certain that the wire is held good and tight by. the screws, Metal lamp sockets have an inside liner made of cardboard or fiberboard which protects the

metal portipn of the socket from becoming charged by a short-cir-cuit in the rest of the assembly If this insulating liner is missing, get a replacement before you reassemble the fixture,

Miscellaneous It's a good idea to paint objects that you are likely to bump into, such as basement girders, etc, white so that they will be more noticeable in the dark. WhH#p a valve or faucet contin ues to leak after the washer has been replaced, chances are that the valve seat is uneven. You can grind: it down true with valve grinding eompound and a valve seat grinder which you can get at plumbing and hardware stores, Forms for curved concrete jobs can be made out of No, 20 galvanized iron, Fence posts will last longer if the tops are given some sort of

slope so they will shed water quickly, Exterior panel doors can "be

made into flush doors by fastenIng a.sheet of exterior plywood to the outside face.'Be sure that plywood. suitable for outdoor work is used and fasten it in place with waterproof glue as well as noncorrosive screws.
