The association points out that a recent survey by the National House Builders Association in-| dicates that extra room and more storage space are high on the list of most home owners' requirements. The least expensive way of providing these is by efficient use of the basement area. Val- uable living space can be gain- ed by building a full block base- ment at a fraction of the cost of construction above grade. With more efficient heating methods and concrete masonry combining to give families a warm, dry basement, this space can be used for many purposes. Often it is the only place in the house where there is extra stor- age room.:It can be converted permanently or temporarily into an extra bedroom.

Is there any way to remove these without damage to the tile finish? ANSWER: Yes. can be removed with a solution made of one part pure turpen- tine (be sure not to use a tur- pentine substitute which would injure the tile) and three parts rubbing alcohol. If the finish be- comes dulled, polish with a thick paste made of powdered chalk and water; then wipe with a dry, clean cloth, LOOSENED VENEER QUESTION: We have a large o'd-fashioned wood wardrobe, which is veneered all over. The veneer on the doors has bulged and loosened in several places. How can this be repaired? ANSWRE: Remove the doors as it is easier to work on a horizontal surface, Place them on a work table, or across a pair of chairs. If the bulges are small, steam them with an iron. This will often reduce the bulge. If the bulged areas are large, make an incision across the cen- tre with a sharp knife or razor blade. Then force glue under ihe veneer, at each side of the slit and place heavy weights on top afterwards. Allow weights to remain until glue is thoroughly hardened. Wipe off any glue that oozes out with a damp cloth. CRAYON ON SHINGLES QUESTION: I have some crayon marks on the asphalt shingles on the outside of my house.

Because of the age and condition of the boiler, I feel a commercial cleaner would be quite expen- sive and entail a lot of elbow grease. Could you suggest a home-prepared solution _ that would do the trick at a lower cest? I plan to varnish the boil- er then. ANSWER: The copper surface can be washed with a solution of ordinary vinegar in which as much salt as possible has been dissolved. Then rinse thoroughly to remove all trace of the vine- gar and salt. If a paste is pre- ferred to the liquid, add flour. Applying a coat of clear lacquer especially made for this purpose or pure, fresh, white shellac, |(thinned half and half with de- natured alcohol) to the cleaned | copper surface, instead of the 'coat of varnish, will give a finish iless likely to darken. | MARBLE PROBLEMS QUESTION: We have a very. old marble fireplace.
