HOME CARE SECTION — 110
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 yield in com-
fort and convenience and in
the avoidance of costly repair
bills caused by extended ne-
Your home also represents
a substantial stake in the
local community. In general,
home improvements tend to
raise neighborhood stan-
dards and property values.
If handy with tools and ex-
perienced in carpentry,
- homeowners can save money
by doing many jobs them-
selves. Andersen Corpora-

gests that when you buy ma-
terials, it pays not to skimp.
The leading manufacturer of
windows and gliding, door's
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
dd-it-yourself projects these,
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 Perma-Shield
windows and gliding door,
points out, that the bat re-
placement window is the best
window you can buy because
they are likely to be around
for a rood 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 01
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,

Best doesn't have to be expensive
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
admonished the first several
times they jumpoVer it.
Be sure to keep his toys
with him in his' confinement.
Arid 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.
