Name Co eeeeeecerereesoorss Address Or) 'HOME PLANNING GUIDE" Coeneceeeeecrveeseeeeseseeeeee FIRST AID TO "NATURAL" FINISH QUESTION: We recently bought an older house (20 years old) which is finjshed in linseed oil tinted with faw umber. The exterior now looks as if it needs to be refinished. 1. Is linseed oil a good preservative for the exterior of a house (the wood siding is imitation log)? 2. Can linseed oil be painted over? 3. Is this linseed oil finish attrac- tive to honey bees (we have bees in one wall)? ANSWER: Linseed oil is OK, but it will darken woods like redwood and cedar consider- ably. It also tends to mildew faster than marine varnish. Yes, you can paint over linseed oil. To the best of my knowl- edge, it is not unduly attrac- tive to bees. Caution: If you use linseed oil, be sure to wipe off all ex- cess after about 30 minutes, and let it dry thoroughly. With- out vigorous wiping, the surface will be sticky. REDWOOD CABINET FINISH QUESTION: I am_ having some redwood cabinets and bookcases built for our living room. Is there a finish that will give the wood a slight shine, and also keep it from turning gray? ANSWER: Exposed to mois- ture and sunlight, outdoors, redwood turns a soft gray: «In: doors, left without any finish treatment, the wood mellows to a slightly deeper tone with the years. Applying one or two coats of clear, dull. white lacquer (kind used to cover wallpaper) to the clean redwood surfaces will f£ause no perceptible change in original color. For a_ slight Shine, apply one or two thin coats of top quality paste wax buffing well cation CLEANING .SHINGLES QUESTION: Our house has asbestos shingle siding, wood trim. We painted the trim and would like to clean the siding to make it look brighter. How can this be done? ANSWER: Wash the shingles with a detergent, or a propor- after each appli- tion of one-half cup of triso-|Ill., for a copy of their leaflet| AILING HOME all trace of the cleaning solu- tion. Be careful to keep the trisodium phosphate solution away from painted surfaces, as it will soften paint. Beginning at the bottom of the walls, wash working upwards, to pre- vent permanent streaking from dirty. water running down over dry areas. These are practically impossible to remove later. AMP CLOTHES CLOSET QUESTION: We have a large clothes closet downstairs, at a corner of the house (two out- side walls in closet), which be- comes damp during cold weath- er. Clothes left hanging there for a while become musty. How can this be corrected? ANSWER: Wash down all in- side closet surfaces with a mil- dew-proofing preparation, avail- able housewares and marine supplies dealers. The outside closet walls should be insu- lated. Fur out the walls, then place blanket insulation be- tween the furring strips and fin- ish with insulating wallboard. If there is an unheated area above the closet, do the same|; ing room, plus an open plan- ned Kitchen and family room make this a desirable home enclosed terrace complete with outdoor barbecue behind the two-car garage.
