colas agreed upon in the building,
ontract. You'll be satisfied
and the builder's contractual ob-
ligations will have been fulfilled.
Some items will be discovered
that have been overlooked,
either through your oversight or
!the builder's oversight. Call
them promptly to the builder's
attention.
Must Check Fireplace
Before using your fireplace,
light a newspaper in it to make
sure that smoke is being drawn
off properly. Never start a fire
until you're sure the damper is
open. Keep the damper closed
when the fireplace is not in use.
This keeps room heat from
escaping through the chimney.
Avoid overheating a new house.
Shrinkage is inevitable in all
wood, but it can be minimized
by keeping the room temperature
at not more than 70 degrees,
especially during the first year
you live in the house. By doing
this, you will cause a more uni-
form drying -out process.
Should wood shrinkage occur
in the bathroom,you'll-likely find
a small separation between the
tub and the wall tile, or between
the floor tile and the tub. These
small cracks may be filled with
inexpensive white cement, avail-
able in tubes at hardware stores,
Cause of Fires
Each year thousands of home
fires are caused by abused or
misused electrical equipment.
Don't let an amateur tamper
with the wiring or with the elec-
trical fixtures m your home. Call
an electrician.
And remember this: Fuses are
the safety valves of the electrical
system. Don't use pennies or
higher amp fuses where lower
amp fuses should be used. A fire
could result.
"The roof of your house should
last for many years. Keep the
gutters and downspouts clear
and unobstructed. Don't let tree
limbs, leaves, balls and trash
accumulate in the gutters. They
will plug the downspout and
cause the gutters to overflow.
Outside water connections
should .be turned off before cold
weather sets in. Otherwise they
will freeze, causing costly re-
pairs. The shut-off valve usually
is found inside the house, near
the spot where pipes go through
the exterior wall.
With tight -fitting doors, be pa-
tient. Don't be too quick to plane
the edge. Wait for warm, dry
weather, Perhaps by that time
the door will have dried to
proper size.
Hot water heaters normally
collect small quantities of scale
and dirty water. Remove the
dirty water regularly. A valve
for this purpose can be found at
the bottom of all hot water
heaters, Use a pail to collect the
dirty water. The tank will drain

celebrated their 25th wedding
anniversary by touring the St.
Lawrence Seaway to Montreal
and through Quebec to the States
and back home by way of Niag-
ara Falls.

itself clean.
If your home has attic louvers`
or louvers at the crawl space of
the basement, don't obstruct the
.openings. Louvers are there for
one purpose: to ventilate your
home. Keep them clear at all
Limes,
The windows of your home
probably have been weather
stripped.
Despite this, cold panes can
set up a cool air current. This
air will feel as though it is
coming from the outside. Storni
sashes will minimize this condi-
tion.
And, now, a few special tips to
Queen Mom:
On tile floors, don't use ex-
cessive amounts of water or wax
until the tiles have been thor-
oughly sealed and until the ad-
hesive has set thoroughly.
Walls 'and woodwork and other
painted surfaces must be
cleaned, of t
course. But find ou
about cleaning compound g first.
Consult a recognized paint, hard-
ware or department store for the
correct compounds to use.
All painted wood surfaces will
last longer and keep their sheen
and sparkle if they are regularly
waxed.
To the entire family:
Your new home is your castle.
Treat it and care for it royally!
