This backiog represents the modernization and remodeling jobs that seven out of every 16 homeowners plan to undertake in the near future. It also re veals an emerging attitude o stability among families. When they need more living space, they are more likely to have it added to their present house than to go out and find a new dwelling to fill the bill. Recent home buyers also are making improvements in their homes almost as soon as they have made the first' mortgage payment. In fact, they are more likely to remodel or modernize than long-term homeowners, The home improvement ;market has been gaining by leaps and bounds during the past few years. In 1966 it passed the $14 billion mark for the first time. This volume will leap to between $20 and $25 billion by 1970 according to the experts. For many families, the major home improvement project this year will be the installation of a new roof. If your present roof is begin- ning to develop leaks or looks worn, it is time for you to do some top level planning about re-roofing. You will discover that aside from their functional value, new roofing materials such as asphalt shingles now come in a variety of decorative shades and textures that can improve the overall appearance of your house. cans -- one a trigger or thumb pump type that will squirt a bit | of oil to the right spot, and one | a can with a flexible spout that can be adjusted to reach into difficult places. These cans costing just over $1, should be small enough so you can handle them conveniently. The 4-ounce | size is perfectly adequate for home use. "For most purposes, light sew- | ing machine oil will be satis- | factory. Heavier oil, the 20 or} 3@ viscosity used in automobile engines, will be better for ga- fage door hardware and such equipment as snow blowers and hedge trimmers. You can drain enough leftover oil from a couple of cans at your filling station to supply the need for a long time. Additional lubrication items fnclude a tube of graphite pow- der, a stick of hard grease, a small jar of petroleum jelly, and a block of paraffin wax for drawer runners. In rare situations, a specially- prepared lubricating grease is| required. This is so with cer. | tain geared tools like the saber saw. Read and follow the man- ufacturers' instructions sup- plied with the tool as to the} number of hours the saw can} be used between greasing, and) how to apply the lubricant. A squeaky door is a sign of dry hinge pins. The best ap- proach to correct this is to pull out the hinge pins, one at a time, rub a drop of oil over the pin, then set it back into the hinge. If the pin is very dry ite may not come out easily -- in that case, use the tip of an old screwdriver against the ball part at the top, and tap it with a hammer to drive the pin up. After oiling each pin, an extra puff of graphite will keep it well lubricated for a longer time. Pins that appear badly rusted should be rubbed clean with a ball of steel wool. Common door latches can be eased up simply by turning the knob so the latch is all the way inside, and then puffing some graphite or a squirt of oil into the space. Wipe the latch sur- face to remove any excess that might soil any clothing that comes in contact with the door edge. Cylinder type locks some- times become sticky and are difficult to open, requiring un- due force to turn the key. In most cases, this is corrected by placing some graphite on the key, then working the key back and forth in the cylinder to free the pins. If this doesn't solve the problem, squirt some ben- zine (lighter fluid is fine) into the key opening and work the key back and forth to spread the fluid. After the benzine dries, apply some graphite to keep the cylinder in good work- ing order. Sliding closet doors will move more smoothly when the track is lubricated with parafin or light grease, and the top roller pulleys are given a drop of oil.
