I found it, all right. The trouble is in' the flashing between two gables; the roofing metal has rusted through in quite a few places. I can't afford much for repairs at this time; certainly not enough for replacing the flashing. 1s there any. first <4 which will tide the flashings over until more favorable eco- nomic weather? ANSWER: Get some plastic or asphalt roofing cement, and next 'ime the weather permits, spread this generously over all leaky areas, Try not to get any on the roo€ itself, or let any dribble down on white siding below. This black stuff is nearly impossible to remove, To make the cement spread more easily, warm it thoroughly indoors. However, do not heat it over an open flame. Let the container stand in the bathtub in very hot water, for example. SHABBY WICKER QUESTION: In spite of my best efforts to make two wicker chairs and a table look neat and smart, my problem seems hopeless, Principally this is be- cause I actually cannot get the dust out from the deeper cracks and crevices, although I have used the vacuum clean- er countless times. Can you help me? ANSWER: Don't bother with 9the embedded dust. Give the wicker a good spraying with clear plastic (if you wish to keep the natural color or any color enamel you like. Let the spray cover the stubborn dust.

PAINTING WIRE DOG-FENCE QUESTION: In defence of our nice flower beds, I finally had to put up a wire fence along the boundary when the new scintiy moved th next door, complete with inquisitive, dig- ging-type dog. Now that this wire barrier is up and appar- ently a success, please tell me how to paint it, Do I use a brush, roller or spray? ANSWER: You'll probably find a 'roller, with long fibre cover, the quickest and easiest, The long fibres will tend to wrap themselves around the wire as you go along, so you'll reaily oniy. have to roli along one side. Spraying is quick too, except that you (or assistant) will have to hold a large piece of cardboard behind the area being sprayed, to keep the spray from straying. The brush is by far the slowest.
