1 HOME CARE SECTION 1113
How to calculate amount of
insulation coverage needed Since your home is an in-
vestment in living as well as
savings, it won't pay divi-
dends if neglected. Properly
maintained and improved, it
will pay a high Yjeld in com-
fort and convenience and in
the avoidance of costly repair
bills caused by extended ne-
glect.
Your home also represents
a substantial stake in the
local community. In general,
home improvements tend to
raise neighborhood stan-
dards and prbperty values.
If handy with tools and ex-
perienced in carpentry,
homeowners can save money
by doing many jobs them-
selves. Andersen Corpora-
tion of Bayport, Minn. sug-
gests that when you buy ma-
terials, it pays not to skimp.
The leading manufacturer of
windows and gliding doors
adds that good materials are
not necessarily the most ex-
pensive.
What you need, says An-
dersen, are products that
look good, are well-made,
easy to take care of and last a
long time.
One of the more popular
do-it-yourself projects these
Carpet capers
dogs will do!
In most cases, dogs and
new carpeting just do not go
together.
Sad but true, dogs shed;
dogs get muddy feet; dogs
trail greasy bones around.
To keep your dog off your
brand new carpet is not all
that easy. You can't just say
to him, "Now don't go near
the broadloom."
To keep him in his own
safe environment—while at
the same time allowing him to
be, one of the family —place.a
baby gate across the entrance
to the newly decorated room.
Small dogs will be able to
see through the gate; large
dogs will be able to see over
the gate and will have to be
admonished the first several
times they jump over it.
Be sure to keep his toys
with him in his confinement.
And when he is let out to join
you, bring out a couple of
toys for him to play with. Be
sure and return them when
you put the dog behind the
gate for the night.
Sooner or later, that new
carpet will get its first stain.
Then it's up to you whether
to let your dog roam at will.
Little things
add to decor
It's the little things in life
that count and, very often,
the same thing holds true in
the sphere of home decorat-
ing.
It's those small touches,
often whimsical, often im-
pulsive, the knick-knacks
that grace your shelves and
tables, the paintings and
posters that hang on your
walls, that truly personalize
your home and make it an ex-
tension of you.
You may want to project
different parts of your per-
sonality in different rooms.
The kitchen, often a bright
and cheery room, can be-
come, especially for the per-
son who loves to cook, a fa-
vorite room, and the first
place where he or she will
begin to accessorize and per-
sonalize.
Hang things on the walls.
Putting up a pegboard is an
attractive way of displaying
everything neatly, and it is
eminently functional as well.
Your favorite cooking tools,
cookie cutters and decora-
tive pot holders as well as
pots and pans, can spice up
your kitchen 'and become an
integral pan of your decor.
days involves window re-
placement. It should be a rel-
atively simple job for an ex-
perienced handyman.
When an old window is
removed, there's a rough
opening to fill, just as in new
construction. In many cases,
stock-sized windows can be
purchased to fit the opening
from local building supply
dealers.
If the new windows don't
fit the opening, some carpen-
try will be required. Ander-
sen, which manufactures
vinyl-sheathed Penna-Shield
windows and gliding door,
points out that the best 're-
placement window is the best
window you can buy because
they are likely to be around
for a good many years.
Quality windows; such as
Perma-Shield
windows, have a rigid vinyl
flange with pre-drilled holes
to simplify nailing. Once the
window is set in place, it is
nailed in one corner, squared
and leveled before the rest of
the nails are driven.
Besides making nailing
easier, the vinyl flange elimi-
nates the need for separate
metal flashing to keep out
weather. Once the frame is
secure, gaps around it are
filled in with siding or shin-
gles.
A booklet detailing how to,
install windows is available
free by writing the Andersen
Corporation, Dept. DYW,
Bayport, Minn. 55003.
You know where you want
to install insulation. You've
decided what "R" number to
select. Now, how much
should you order to cover the
job?
" According to the
' Insulation Center,
to decide how much insula-
tion you need to cover.a ceil-
ing, wall or floor, multiply
the total area (without deduc-.
ting for joists or studs) by .90'
if framing members are 16" on
center. If framing members
are 24" on center, multiply by
.94.
Here's a simple example:
1,000 square feet of ceiling
area with joists spaced 16" on
center requires 900 square
feet of insulation (1,000 sq. ft.
x .90 = 900 sq. ft.).
A roll of blanket insulation
measuring 15" wide by 32'
long provides 40 square feet
of coverage. You need 23
rolls to complete the job.
