Pour a little hydrogen peroxide in a glass dish, add about l/8th tea- spoon of white vinegar to it and wipe the stains off with a sponge. But in spraying it on the logs in the stove, some of it has stained the quarry tiles around the opening of the stove. Is there a way to remove these brown- ish stains? _ New Haven. Vt. Q.

During the winter months, the joints between the walls and ceilings in the upper floor of my house open up. the cracks close up during the summer months. The attic has sprayed insulation that makes it impossible to nail down the roof structure. ls there a fix to this problem? - Maple, Ontario 844-5000 MICHAEL SHIELDS An experienced Oakville Corporate Real Estate Sales Professional Do not, under any circumstances, try to nail down the roof structure, as you call it. If this could be done suc- cessfully, the arcing trusses would pull the walls up with them, tearing them off the floor. The solution is to install a molding fastened only to the ceiling; it will go up and down with the trusses and sim- ply float along the walls. You can adhere it to the ceiling finish with a polyurethane sealant, such as Sikaflex Multicaulk, which you can buy in cer- tain building supply stores and mason- ry supply houses.
