Stucco Overcoat Cuts Upkeep
Costs On Frame Residences
Spring Is tho usual season for re
painting. Hut tho need to re-palm
tho whole house every two or three
years is a Intro Item In tho mainte
nance cost and authorities agree
that the average expenses of u J
keep equal the total cost of the
house in forty years.
So economy is one of tho main
motives In tho practice of "vcr-coat-ing"
an old frame house with stuc
co. If tho structure Is in good con
dition, this can bo done Inexpensive
ly. All thnt Is needed is to see
that the siding Is nailed down tight,
thn nail on a reinforcing fabric.
and finally apply the three coats of
stucco. Tho drat two parts of tho
Job can be done by tbe household
er himself, reducing the labor-cost
to one sing'.e Item, the plasterer's
bill.
Can the average home-owner af
ford this? Well, it costs two end
a half times as much to overcoat a
homo as to re-paint it. Rut paint
must be renewed every two or three
years, while stucco lasts Indefinite
ly. So stucco overcoating Is eco
nomical. It saves Its own cost by
eliminating painting within eight
years and then continues to save
during the K-st of the building's life.
Next to economy, the greatest ad
vantage Jf overcoating Is that it
greatly enhances the valuo of the
home by raising It from the clasa
of an old frame house to thnt of a
new stucco building. The stucco al
to reduces the fire-hazard, makes
the home mors weather-proof by
sealing up all Cracks.tand affords a
high degree of beat-insnlatlon.
Nor does it requiro any sacrifice
of beauty. There now are on the
market several types of stucco inlui
the finish-coats of which mineral
colors are ground at the factory.
This affords a range of color ample!
to meet anyone's taste. And the usoj
of a prepared colored material elim-j
inates tho chances of impermanent
and non-unltorm coloring such as!
is likely to result from home-mixed
materials. I
Only one precaution need be oh j
served, aside from the selection of i
the proper stucco. In overcoating an
old frame house. Thnt Is. tho right j
reinforcing must be chosen. Per-!
m'ani-nt tallnfactlon will bo given v j
a strong Bteel fabric which is
crimped so as to bo self-furring.
This eliminates the need of spoclil '
l:,:h or bnckliiK for tho stucco.
Anil that means reflnlshlng before
an actual necossl.y.
Dull or dingy looking wojdwork,

Much has been written about
germs and their depredations on
1. calth. As every one knows, some
germs aro entirely harmless nnd for
their predominance we have to be
thankful. Hut the other kinds are
floating around in sufficient quanti
ties to bn a menace to health and
liapplness. Everything possible
thould therefore be done to cripple j
their activities."
Unfinished woodwork Is a natural I
breeding place for germs and vermin j
of all kinds, says Dr. C. D. Hollcy, !
! Director of Ueasearch of the Acme I
White Lead and Color Works of,:
Detroit, Mich. The pores of thp
wor d and also tho cracks In It ab
sorbs moluttiro and here, In1 the prcs
fniti of certain organic matter, the
germs pi opagatc. I'artlculraly Is this
true In dnrk corners, whoro nelthor
siini-l' no nor air can carry on the
wck of purification.
A sure way of eliminating mu:h
of this danger is through tho 111
erel live of paint and varnish. liotb
of t here products soul up tho pores
and fibrous construction of tin
wood. They give a hard, nnioc.lli
surface that Is unnbsorpllve. Not
only that, they glvo surfaces that
are muc!!, calcr to keep clean.
Nor are these the only advantage-;
of pnlnt and varnish. Whllo gcrm
prooflng the woodwork, they beauti
fy It and udd to Its longevity. Wains
coatings, mop board, quarter-rounds,
doors, windows, particularly floors,
und In fact nil the woodwork In
tho Interior of the house, will Serve
Indefinitely If properly maintained.
