This will make room for a basement pool table. Gr should I chop a hole in the jJeoncrete, dip down two feet, and pour a concrete , fucter Present post has this type of footer. ANSWER: Safer to put in the footer. But if you spread the supporting job between two ad- justable steel posts, each rest- ing on half-inch steel plates, about 18 -inches square, this would probably bypass the need for a footer. SOOT-PROOFING FIREPLACE QUESTION: Two questions. What will clean a sooty fire- place front (I've tried many cleaners.) If and when it's final- ly clean, how can I keep it that way ANSWER: Scrub with a me- chanics' hand soap which con- tains sand, using hot water. Do not. spare the elbow grease. When clean, rinsed and dry, generously wipe on linseed oil. Let it soak in for two or three hours. Then vigorously wipe off all excess. After a week of thor- ough drying, repeat. When this coat of oil dries, a greaseproof, dirtproof shield will protect the porous brick surface. Any soot will be easy to wipe off. Good treatment for a brand-new fire- place, too! NEED NEW SKYLIGHT QUESTION: Off and on, the bathroom skylight of my. con- temporary house leaks. I keep wondering if I have the right type. Should I replace this one ANSWER: Certainly wouldn't go to that trouble and expense without first trying to seal all the edges with cement or other caulking. Many good sealers are available, some containing epoxy which can effectively seal leaks between glass, plas- tic, metal and wood. At any good hardware stores. SAGA OF STEAMING QUESTION: While cooking supper, the living room win- dows begin to steam. So I be- FIRST AID FOR THE AILING HOUSE sea, constant ventilation won't change conditions in the air much, But- your trying to keep cooking steam from the rest of the house is the right idea. Do you have a wall fan in the kit- chen, or is one attached to the range hood? "This is where a salesman for a good electric de- humidifier should get a good hearing, maybe an air condi- tioning salesman as well. If you're not in a naturally damp climate, constant ventilation on dry days will cure 90 per cent of any trouble, cheaply, too! CLEANING STAIRWAY QUESTION: Please telt me how to clean my composition stairways. They look like imita- tion marble, : ANSWER: Unless you're sure the adhesive under the "com- position' is waterproof, be as sparing of water as you can. Scrub with thick suds and wipe up quickly. Do the main "rins- ing' with a constantly damp cloth. In short, the method is scrubbing, as with any similar surface. Mister TOWERS TOWERS | ANY HEIGHT TO 100 FT.
