| , 4 Bricked Fireplace Warms Family Room The family room glows with additional warmth when it focuses on a bricked fireplace. The cozy atmosphere shown here was estab- lished with Roxite man- made masonry brick pan- els, introduced recently in 6-brick panels by the Home Improvement Divi- sion of Masonite Corpora- tion. The tiered platform for the hearth has been accen- ted with buff-colored Rox- ite brick. The brick theme is continued around the chimney area and on the wall, adding an intimate feeling to the recessed shelves. The brick panels are ea- sily installed by do-it-your- selfers. The panels come in work-saving sections that are self-aligning and self- spacing, and are applied without the mess, prepara- tion time and cost of real A WARM, COZY FIREPLACE SEATING AREA was easily created here with Roxite man-made masonry brick panels in a do-it-yourself project designed to enhance family room. brick. the wall.

Wood Moulding: Used More for Decoration, Too The traditional use of wood moulding hasn't changed much over the years. It's still used to cover up imperfections at corners and seams of walls, ceilings and floors. But, its use as a decorative wall accent, improving a piece of furniture, or as a room divider is coming in- to favor more and more. The key to proper use and ease of working with wood moulding lies with planning, the right tools and practice, says the Wood Moulding and Mill- work Producers. The initial step in any project is planning. A list of materials, tools and supplies for the project should be made before any work begins. For most moulding work, you'll need a miter box and a small, fine- toothed saw to cut clean, accurate angles. A ham- mer, nail set and finishing nails are nearly always necessary. Sometimes, a coping saw is required to cope a joint for a tight fit. Other important tools in- clude a tape measure, glue, sandpaper and wood filler. Though practice may not always make perfect, it helps. Use some scrap pieces to practice mitering or coping at various angles before cutting the actual piece you'll need. A corner clamp is a use- ful tool when clamping mitered corners together for a tight joint. Once the corner is glued and clamped, it should be nailed. When gluing pieces together, be careful not to get glue on the surface to be finished. If the glue oozes out from a joint, wait until it dries, then cut or chip the glue away. Smeared glue on a wood surface will impair the finish. Correctly measuring moulding can save expense as well as trouble. When mitering moulding to make a square or frame, remember to use the outside dimension as the length required. Moulding is available in 3 to 16-foot lengths. Use short pieces whenever pos- sible. When determining the amount of wood moulding you need, round off to the next largest foot to allow for cutting and trimming. =heip is often beyond the' many homeowners to hold onto their houses until times improve.
