PrOadest Possession, Nothing else brings more enjoyment end long term satisfaction to you and Your family. Like a new ear, your heme will reqldre careful "breaking in" by you, the owner. The builder has some obligations after be has carefully assembled the mater- ials and equipment which con- stitute your new home; most likely he has given you a one year warrantee that promises he will take care of legitimate claims of faults or damage which don't come to light until you are in the house. But for the most Vert, its up to you to see that your new home is maintained. If you do so ft will serve you and. other who will follow you for almost an. un- limited number of years. goisttire Damage Condensation is at a maxi, um in a new home. When yo a,r home was (built, many gal- lons of water went into mat- erials such as concrete, plaster, tile work and even some types of Paint. This water is still lodged within the walls—especi- ally basement walls—and its gradual evaporation contributes to a higher moisture content in the air. Provide ventilation wherever possible but do not try to ac- celerate the normal drying out process of a new home. Creat- ing high temperatures will only tend to Pause an uneven drying which will exaggerate the effect of normal shrinkage and .c.4n Perrilanently damage lumber and mdlWork in YoUr new home. Foundation or base- ment wails are subject to a wide variety of stresses and strains. The base of the wall, being in the ground, maintains a fairly constant temperature, The top portion, however, ex- tends out of the ground. and is subject to extreme tempera. tire changes which cause con- crete and. other masonry to ex- pand. and contract. The nature of' the soil on which the foundation is plac- ed' may cause slight settlement or heaving due to soil expan- sion, which would induce addi- tional stress. Minor Cracks A combination of these forc- es may make some minor cracks appear. It is important for the home owner to under- stand that these surface cracks do not affect 'the strength of the walls in any way and it isn't necessary to repair them except for a touch up to im- prove their appearance. Mas- onry basement walls, like every other part of the house, are not waterproof in 'themselves. Where conditions warrant it, your builder will have damp- proofed the underground por- tion of :foundation to Pre- Yent the entrance- of water from the surrounding. ground. Where great deal ..of water is pre- sent outside, basement walls should 'be water,proofed at time of construction.

The surfaces can be pro- tected by coats of paint .espec. ially prepared for the purpose and available at paint and hardware stores. An automatic humidifier in- stalled on the furnace or an unvented gas burning hot water heater can cause 'high humidity in the basement area. Constant use of such equipment is an- other source of moisture va- pour. In many cases this situa- tion can be corrected by im- proving ventilation and humid- ity central. Every home owner should be alert 'to the telltale signs of condensation .and take prompt' action to prevent moisture 4 causing damage to his hondie. gleotrical •Syskni Abuse or misuse of electrical equipment can be a contribuiblg factor to home fires. Pont be an amateur electrical repair man, and don't let any other amateur handyman alter the Wiring in the home or repair your electrical equipment. This we* requires a professional so When something PPP'S wrong call a reputable electrician or a recognized appliance service agencY. In modern homes to- day, every home maker depends on electrical appliances to do much of the everyday work around the house. To keep these working for you, you need a full "house power"—adequate electricity coming into your home and plenty of outlets to feed your appliances. Heating System There are many different types of heating systems and various methods of installation. A's a home owner, it is to your 'advantage 'to know all about your own, Read all the descrip- tive literature supplied with the furnace, 'and for more, detailed information check with the heating contractor who supplied and 'installed the system. Prop- er care of the heating system and good house insulation can reduce heat costs, permit con- siderable fuel savings during the Winter and make air condi- tioning for 'the summer more effective. Be sure to check for proper insulation when you are buying your new home. Some builders display cutaway wall 'sections so potential buyers can see ex- actly what is provided. Any reputable builder will be glad to explain to you how he has insulated your house. If you live in a warm clim- ate don't think insulation isn't necessary. Summer comfort alone, justifys the cost of full insulation, especially if you are planning to use air condition- ing. It is important to realize that insulation has year round value, and isn't Solely to pro- tect you during the cold wea- ther.
