Listed below are some helpful hints on cutting those home costs: --Over a third of calls to repair­ men are unnecessary. Make sim­ ple, obvious checks on your own prior to calling for help. See if the plug is in, power on, and con­ trols set properly. If a repairman is needed, be there when he ar­ rives. Pay for his work--not his waiting. --Be aware of active appliance warranties. Take advantage of any such benefits. --Tool rental can be a money- saver. You don't have to purchase everything you need for those pe­ riodic chores. Combine your ef­ forts with those of your neighbors. --Redecorating can be done much cheaper when you do it yourself. MR. AND MRS.
