g Help us solve a small disagree
ment about the proper way to caulk
My wife says the caulking gun
should be pushed along the crack
being caulked I say the gun should
lie pulled What do you say’ - R W
Pendleton
A Your wife wins this one
Pushing forces the caulk into the
joint better than pulling
But even more important to the
caulking seal is surface preparation
Surface should be clean and dry
before apply ing the caulk And if the
joint width is greater than one
fourth inch, first fill the space
behind the caulk with hacking
material such as fiber glass or
oakum
g l-ast August, the second floor of
my house got very hot even though I
closed the shades on all the windows
I know I have enough ventilation in
my attic Can you recommend an
inexpensive way to remove the heat
or should I install an air condi
boner’ P T Portland
A Try natural ventilation before
you buy an air conditioner
You
should ventilate whenever it's hotter
indoors than out
This means
keeping your house closed during
the hot part of the day and opening it
in the evening
Take advantage of natural cross
ventilation by opening first floor or
basement windows on the side of
your house that is the coolest or has
the strongest breeie
Also open
second floor windows on the nppo
site side of the house If you have a
one-story house, simply open win
dows on opposite sides
leave
interior doors open to allow free air
flow The basic idea is to draw the
cooler air in and flush out the hotter
air
If natural cross ventilation is not
enough, use the summer fan switch
an sw ers
EROM THEOSt EXTENSION SERVICE
on your furnace if it has one
Another possibility is to install a
window fan in the hottest part of the
house
Fare the fan toward a
window so it exhausts air out the
window Open a couple of windows
on the cooler side of the house The
fan will move the cooler air in and
the hot air out
If you can't cool your house
adequately by ventilation consider
an evaporative cooler as an alterna
live to conventional air rondtioning
Fvaporatilve coolers operate at
about one fifth the coat They are
effective where summertime rela
live humidities are less than fifty
percent

what's the best way to clean them’

Use an enamel paint to
improve the appearance of the
sheet metal cover on your base
board heaters First, smooth rust
spots with steel wool
Then paint
with primer, and top with enamel
With the electricity off. remove
the long, metal front cover, and
vacuum thoroughly
