Question: What's the best method to attach a bookcase to a plaster wall without unsightly angle irons showing? How do I find the upright 2 x 4's in the wall? Can I run a piece across inside the wall? Answer: You can locate the studs by checking nails which hold the baseboard to the studs, and by sounding the wall with light hammer taps. A hollow sound is produced between studs. Use finishing nails through the back of the bookcase, or provide special nailing strips across the back. Nail into studs, but if an expansion support is needed between studs, use bolts which open behind the plaster and spread the load over a wide area. You can't It's a Cinch to...

WHITE "The family that plays together, stays together" is the slogan of Mr. and Mrs. Don Schnitger and their two teen-agers, Roffald and Joan, who live at 11811 Loara Street. Realizing that they had an idea that might help parent-child relationships in other families, Ronald concentrated on home recreation as his 4-H Club project last year and developed it to such an amazing degree that it won first prize for him in a national contest. The prize was a trip to Chicago, a $300 scholarship and sponsorship by the U. S. Rubber Co. The project has stirred a great deal of local interest. Anaheim families have been particularly interested in the way Ronald and his family have organized their yard space. Country Home The Schnitgers live out in the country on an eight acre ranch, but only the yard space of the usual city size lot has been utilized waste yard space to provide both adults and youngsters with drop for dart games and archery practice, still leaving adequate space for pitching horseshoes. Family Handyman Is it possible toisting mortar when resistant necessary? I have appearance of many repointing and I wish this if possible. Morlar is prepared inside of gray and nearlily hoping to match old other stained mortar is allready. Perhaps the best provide a cross base inside the wall without removing a lot of plaster, nor is one necessary in this case. Question: Can you help me to find a way to fill several knot holes of half-dollar size which have appeared in my finished basement? The knots have fallen inside the wall and I find it difficult and indesirable to retrieve them. Home Interests "The point of all this," says Ronald, "is to create home centered interests for the entire family. Our family enjoys these active sports, get-togethers with friends and neighbors, and some cultural interests like keeping up with current events, story telling, and favorite television shows. If we had little folks in the family you would see black board and crayons and dolls, and a place to dig, a wading pool and practical play apparatus such as swing slide and jungle gym." Using cast-off materials and doing their own work, the Schnitgers kept cost at a minimum spending just under $25.00 on the project. And actually, they utilized waste yard space to provide both adults and youngsters with Family Handyman Is it possible to paint mortar when re-pointing or repointing by mismatched brushes? I have appeared by mismatched brushes in this if possible. Mortar is prepared in sides of gray and near-hoping to match old other stained mortar is almost. Perhaps the best improve, the appearance painting old and new brushing after the new set. What's the best method to a bookcase to a plaster without unsightly angle wing? How do I find that 2 x 4's in the wall? In a place across inside you can locate the checking nails which baseboard to the studs, sounding nails through the bookcase, or provide filling strips across the all into studs, but if an support is needed beads, use bolts which open the plaster and spread the wide area. You can't provide a cross base inside the wall without removing a lot of plaster, nor is one necessary in this case. Question: Can you help me to find a way to fill several knot holes of half-dollar size which have appeared in my finished basement? The knots have fallen inside the wall and I find it difficult and indesirable to retrieve them. Answer: Sue holes may be filled with plastic wood or putty, a little at a time allowing the previous quantities to dry. You can speed the job by cutting plugs to fit snugly, driving them in, sanding the tips and filling any small cracks as above. A spot of stain on the filler will give you a fair imitation of the original knots. Question: Could you tell me if there is a solution to use in your sewer out to keep the tree roots out? We are having our cleaned and would like to keep them out. Answer: Copper sulphate is a standard material for removing the roots and since it burns the ends, prevents regrowth for some time. A new application every other year should serve. You can introduce this into the sewer system by flushing it heavily down house drains. There are a number of name-brand products for this purpose which are less apt to stain the plumbing fixtures. Question: We have a home bulb on a concrete slab with radiant heat in the floor. Now we plan a rather large porch, also of concrete. Is there any way to heat this porch by connecting to the present heating system? We would like to use the porch all year rather than just in the hot summer months. Answer: You can install an identical system in the porch slab and attach to the present circulating system. However, it would be better to have a separate circulating system with its own controls as the porch may be colder than the rest of the house and demand more heat, thereby warming the rest of the house too much and at greater heating cost. Question: Can I paint over wallpaper? It's a special washable kitchen paper. If it can be done, what kind of paint can I apply? Answer: You can paint over any wall paper if it is tightly attached to the wall. You are more sure of success if you apply a sealer or primer coat first, or even glue sizing. Flat paints adhere wall without these treatments, but glos sand enamel paints tend to crawl without an undercoating of some short. Question: Do you think a woman with skilled hands in other work can learn to use electrically powered tools on wood by cage, a $300 scholarship and sponsorship by the U.S. Rubber Co. The project has stirred a great deal of local interest. Anaheim families have been particularly interested in the way Ronald and his family have organized their yard space. Country Home The Schnitgers live out in the country on an eight-acre ranch, but only the yard space of the usual city size lot has been utilized for the recreation project. Ronny, with the help of his dad, dug out a row of orange trees, enclosed the backyard with a six-foot board fence and planted the enclosed area in lawn. There was already an outdoor barbecue under an arbor. This was next footed over and screened in as sort of a lean-to to the garage, making a simple outdoor room furnished with sturdy hand-made furniture—an ideal place for dining lounging and quiet games. The Schnitgers use it for popcorn parties, community sings, candy pulls and marshmallow roasts. The payed space in the driveway is marked off for shuffleboard, and a folding table furnishes the means for ping pong. The lawn provides the place for a wide variety of play activities. A net suspended between two uprights suggests volleyball and aerial tennis. Tether ball takes up a small corner, and roquet and miniature golf can be played in the shade of the big walnut tree. The fence makes a good back she have to receive personal instruction? Answer: Since women have learned to drive cars, and operate turret lathes, and riveting hammers, we can't think of anything in the line of power tools they can't operate just by following manufacturer's written instruction sheets.
