4A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Saturday, July 2, 1966 eee TLE BLL LLU OL Ln UT FIRST AID TO AiLING HOUSES WHO SELLS WALL BURLAP? QUESTION: We plan to cover our walle with burlan. Where is to apply it, and what kind of paste to use? I have done some wallpapering, and would like to try this other material; I think burlap looks very good. ANSWER: Wallpaper dealers carry burlap, or can get it for you, in just about any shade. The dealer can also give you full instructions. You'll find it easier by far than wallpaper to handle. The paste goes on the wall, not on the burlap, which you'll appreciate! BRICK PATIO--NO CEMENT? QUESTION: When an. all- knowing friend heard me sug- gest I could build an all-brick patio without using any cement, he called me 'nuity. I don't think I am, but I'd like your opinion, too. ANSWER: Not nutty at all. Bricks can be very solidly laid in a bed of sand, and nothing else. A four-inch bed is usually enough; enough to wiggle the brick easily into proper align- ment, enough left underneath, for good drainage and settle- ment. It's. surprising in how short a time bricks will be- come solidly entrenched this - way. Firming with a lawn or tennis court roller will speed the end result, CAMOUFLAGING PATCH QUESTION: To spare the ex- pense of putting down an entire course of concrete [ had a local handyman patch several crack- ed and broken areas with the ready-mixed asphalt. He did a good job, but now I don't like the way these big black patches stand out. Is there any way to make them less conspicuous? ANSWER: Sprinkle with dry white Portland cement, just as it comes from the bag. It takes a little time, because the as- phalt will only absorb so much cement at a time. But the more cement: you put on, the whiter the patches will become .They'll never remind you of new-fallen snow,' however. WATER PIPES NOISY QUESTION: Whenever the toilet is flushed there is a noisy knock in the pipes. What is wrong, and can I fix this my- self? ANSWER: This is generally caused by a loosened or worn washer. It is not a difficult job to replace the washer, as well as smooth the seat where the washer rests. At any hardware store, you can get an inexpen- sive kit for this job, complete with illustrated details of how to do it. This is the same treat- ment as for a leaky faucet.
