This was a plasterboard ceiling which we painted at the time, after apply- ing a sealer first. Now the nail- head indentations are showing. How can we correct this? ANSWER: Fili the indenta- tions with spackle, allowing to dry thoroughly. Then touch up the spackle spots with shellac, thinned half-and-half with de- natured alcohol. Then repaint. PAINTED BRICK CHIMNEY QUESTION: We would like to paint the outside red _ brick chimney on our house to match the rest of the house. What kind of paint should be used? ANSWER: Use a dampproof cement base paint, applying two coats. This comes in powder form to be mixed with water. Available at large paint stores or masonry pplies dealers. Or apply a vinyl plastic latex paint, the type for use on wood, masonry, metal surfaces. GLUE ON LINOLEUM QUESTION: We recently pur- chased a house which is three years old. When the rubber base was glued on in the kitchen, a lot of glue was spoiled on the linoleum. How can this be taken off? ANSWER: Read the label of the glue container carefully; it should contain mention of the solvent recommended by the manufacturer for this particu- lar adhesive. Or consult the dealer from whom it was pur- chased, Different glues require different solvents for removal. And be careful not to allow it to remain too long on the lino- leum surface; the solvent for the glue may adversely affect the linoleum. NEW SLAB OVER OLD QUESTION: Can a concrete patio. slab be poured on top of an existing one? I've been told yes and no. The "no's" say I first have to drill drain holes in the old slab or else break it up with 'a sledge hammer. What is your opinion? ANSWER: No reason I know, why you can't pour the new slab right on top of the old. What you must do, though, is thor- oughly soak the old slab first. This is to prevent the dry con- crete from blotting the water out of the new concrete, which Ft. on both the Upper and Lower area. Design features a full carport.
