Here's the Answer: QUESTION: We are having a house built and are trying to iave space. We think we can get. by with a small kitchen yet we do not want it to interfere with efficiency. Can you tell us how fnuch kitchen space we need? 1 ANSWER: Different persons mean different'things by "elti- eiencv." A minimum 4-feet clearance in front of each major appliance or work counter is recommended by kitchen specialists. HTake it from there.

QUESTION: There is a slight in our dining room floor. I lhave been advised that something ealled telescopic screw post correct the condition. Can fou tell me something about this? ANSWER: The type of post mention acts somewhat like i jack for an automobile. A base is secured to the basement floor, which I presume is con- Use expansion shields and 'lag screws or bolts to make this attachment. The post fits on this and extends vertically to the underside of the sagging floor.

There is a screw arrangement which raises the -height of the post, thus lifting the''floor. How If you raise the post height much or too quickly, you can cause serious damage to the i floor structure. The proper way to do it is to raise the post a 'tiny bit until it fits snugly be- the basement floor and the -lagging point. Let it alone for one week, then use a level to deter- imin.e, whether the sag has dis- If not, raise the post another inch or so, then let it alone for another week. Keep doing this until the level'shows 1 that the floor is absolutely level.

This gradual procedure is the only way to correct the sagging condition without starting new trouble Question: Tne asbestos cement siding on our house has become over the years. I've been told that-ordinary, house painl won't stick to asbestos-cement, i Is there any type of paint that 1 Answer: There are several dif; ferent paint systems that are rec- ommended by the Asbestos ment Products Assn. Tne problem with -asbestos cement is that the alkali in the cement ordinarily combines with the oils in conven- tkmal paints to make soaps that are extremely soluble. This dangers the paint film. The an- iswer lies in using alkali-resisl- ant paints.

There are two types ol which are sufficiently al; kali resistant for all surfaces i These' are the solvent thinnei 1 resin coalings and the exterior Tlatex or emulsioiv coatings. The roost commonly used resins in first type of painl are defiva- Jtives or modifications of rubber s.Paints made with these resins been used for years on swinv pools, stucco ajid other made of cement, The surface should be free of dirt, loose paint'and ill-grease or oil. Cracked or broken units should.be replaced: If there-Is moss or mildew, it should be removed by scrubbing'with a wax- free Siding that has eroded through years of service and hat i dusty fibrous surface requires special treatment. The oose dust should be: removed by brushing and the surface thoroughly washed with When it comes to actual painting, use two coats of either the solvent thinned resin paints or the exterior latex paints. The solvent will not bond well (o damp wet The latex paints can be applied satisfactorily to a damp' surface.

There are oil masonry paints which contain modified linseed or other oils which will give satisfactory performance on weathered siding. But if there ii any doubt as to the'degree of weathering, play safe and use one of the first two systems. Another method of painting asbestos cement is first to apply a primer coat of i specially formulated resin paint- and then follow it with a convenlional oil or alkyd top coat. These primers are known as asbestos shingle primer, alkali resistant primer, brick and stucco primer, etc. Question: We.have an old, large picture frame which we would like to give an antique finish.

The frame is made of wood and apparently has no finish on it now. How do we get the antique ef. feet? Answer: The easiest way is to buy an antique glaze and brush it on like an ordinary paint. White the glaze is still wet, take a clean, dry, small paint brash and dab it up and down the frame. Keep wiping the' brush off ev- ery few seconds.

This process will remove some of the glaze and produce a textured finish, making it appear antique. When-the glaze is thoroughly dry, apply a coat of sealer, which you can buy at the same lime you purchase' the Refugee Grateful SAN JOSE, Calif.

HeaiPurrip Is Versatile of the fittest growing wd most versatile forms of lit conditioning is the heat pump, or reverse cycle air conditioner.

This, is a unit-which cools In summer and heals ia winker, powered by electricity. The Conditioning and Re- trigeratiofl Institute explains that heat PUSIP works in summer by removing heat, from the air in a and pumping it outside. In winter, the process is reversed. The unit- actually, extracts heat-from outside air at temperatures and discharges it into the house at a comfortable temperature level. As a form of electric heat, the heat pump it most practical for complete winter heating in areas where electric, rates are low, and in homes thickly insulated with mineral wool so that little heat is lost.

The insulation helps great ly in too. A room i heat pump can be used to warm a room in late spring or early fall when the central heating system is shut down. The ARI predicts that heat pumps will "come of age" when electric utility companies realize that the heavy demand for electric power for air conditioning in summer needs to be equalized in winter. Screen Can Be Shifted Best idea for patio comfort is a wooden that can be moved when the direction of the wind changes. The windbreak can be made of lightweight, western red cedar lumber.

It is actually a panel ol one inch boards which can be woven in a pattern or made in a variety of each corner of the bottom of the frame, metal rod is attached which fits into pipes set around the edge of the patio. When the wind changer or the sun moves, the screen can, be lifted of- the pipe sockets, moved around, then set into other conveniently located pipes. More Room Is Provided Need more seating accommodations in your small patio 'area? One architect designed. a ban quetie type bench to follow along two sides of the patio. The seal was made up of five Douglas fir 2x4s with fir backrest.

The. backrest was tilted to make' it more comfortable Seating was provided for a dozen people, with little of the patio area robbed. The patio deck boards were also fir but they were laid with the narrow side uppermost and spaced ilightly to allow 'water runoff. Insulation Produced From Molten Mineral Mineral wood insulation is made from three principal materials: rock, glass, or slag. In the manufacturing process, one or more of these.raw materials is mixed with coke and heated to a molten state.

Jets of si earn blow the mass into millions of fibers. The fibers fall naturally into thick, interwoven mass containing "millions of tiny dead-air spaces. These. dead-air spaces provide an efficient barrier to heat transmission. STl)DY IN FORMS-Art and science share the scene at the Bressels World's Fair.
