Single -horsepower compressors
are adequate for most tools

unsightly marks that hammers
often leave behind. Finish nailers
can also enhance any
woodworking shop since they're
ideal for building cabinets and
furniture.
Roofing Nailers and Staplers:
These tools drive the round -head
nails or wide -crown staples
required for roofing and
reroofing applications. They
securely fasten asphalt and
fiberglass shingles, as well as
insulative sheathing.
Completing the system
The muscle behind air -
powered fasteners is, of course,
the compressor - an accessory
most DlYers have invested in to
power paint sprayers, sanders
and other tools.
Most experts recommend oil -
less, electric compressors for
DlYers since they typically have
access to an electric outlet and
they're easier to maintain.
As for size, one horsepower is
ample to power most pneumatic
tools including large framing
nailers.
In addition to the tool and
compressor, DlYers need a few
accessories to complete their
pneumatic systems. These
include an air hose, connectors
to Zink the hose to'the
compressor and the tool, and
some lubricants and cleaners.
It's time to let in some of that
fresh spring air
1t may have seemed like
winter's cold wind, rain and
snow would last forever, but it's
finally time to prepare for spring
and summer.
Remember, getting a head
start on the little jobs now can
prevent big work later on.
For instance, now may be a
good time to repair or replace
window and door screens.
Screens not only are a home's
first line of defense against flying
insects, they also are important
in natural ventilation — helping
keep down air conditioning bills
— and with proper upkeep, they
can make a home more
attractive.
Following are some tips to
help keep your repair or .
replacement of window screens
simple.
--=Replacing screens
There are two popular types
of screening: aluminum and
fiberglass. Both are corrosion
resistant — unlike old galvanized
steel screens — and inexpensive.
And even if you are all thumbs
around the house, it's easy to
replace old, worn-out screens, or
make new ones, using common
household tools and some
inexpensive materials.
All you need to put new
aluminum or fiberglass screens
on existing frames is a new piece
of screening, a screwdriver,
utility knife or tin snips, concave
hand roller tool and vinyl -coated
replacement spline.
Spline is the rubbery strip that
anchors screening to the frame;
the hand roller is a special tool
used to install spline.
Easy installation
After gathering the materials,
your first step in replacing
screening in an aluminum frame
for a single or double -hung
window is removal of the old
screening.
Lay the screen on a flat
surface, with the spline channel
up, and use a screwdriver to start
pulling out the spline.
Next; place the new screening
on the frame with a one -inch
overlap around the sides.
Then, starting at any corner of
the frame, use the concave hand
roller to secure the screening
and spline in the channel,
making sure the screening is taut
completely around the frame.
To finish, just trim off the
excess screening and the
repaired screen is ready to
install.
If you are working with wood
frames, you will need a
workbench, wood blocks and
two C -clamps to make sure the
screening is taut.
Start by removing the molding
over the spline channel, if one is
present. This should be done
carefully, with a wide chisel or
putty knife.
Next, detach the old screening
as you would with an aluminum
frame and cut a new piece
slightly larger than the area to be
covered.
