By ROGER C. WHITMAN PEELING CEILING QUESTION: The heavy rains! eame before our new roof was | eompleted. The rain came in one room and now the ceiling ‘peéls badly, Beside scraping, is there anything else to-do-before repainting the ceiling? ANSWER: Very bad luck | about the roof; too bad~the builder couldn't have covered the unfinished part with build. | er’s sheet plastie-Would--have been easy and an effective wa- terproofer. Take it very gently and easy with any scraping: really better to wait a couple | of months to see if, the ceiling | plaster will dry out thoroughly and continue adhering to its | jath. The less you disturb it | tow, the better the chance of wot dislodging it. COBWEBS QUESTION: Will painting a cobweb section of the basement improve the cobweb situation? ANSWER: Not the paint per | light color, the preliminary cleaning | as well as the painting will definitely Help. Personally, cob- webs have always appeared | less noticeable to me against a light background—(others, Im sure, take an opposite view) _§ STICKY CONCRETE QUESTION: To-keep my ‘hus- band and children from tracking | mud into the house, I thought | I would make concrete stepping |

Or what do you recommend? ANSWER: Come to think of it, | ma'am, waxcd paper, is a good | idea. Foil would work, too. But | we males usually solve the prob- lem by coating the inside eof the form with old motor off or grease. Don't claim it’s any bet- | ter than your idea, however! . SHINGLES LOSING -GRAVEL QUESTION: TI have noticed that the gravelly surface of the asphalt shingles on my roof. i.s. beginning to crumble off. Do you think painting would help preserve them’. : ANSWER: An excellent idea. A paint of the vinyl plastic latex type will not only anchor the granules to this shingle, but add a film of protection. The shingles will last longer. OPERATIC PLUMBING QUESTION: Every time we turn on a faucet or flush the toilets we get a singing noise im the.pipes. A musical novelty; 8, but we'd prefer oi | What's the cause and

type are caused by high-veloci- ty water being forced through pipe too small to handle the volume. | im a-pressure- reducing, valve usually takes care of this problem, though sometimes it’s necessary to put im a section of larger-diameter pipe. Although the singing re- sounds throughout the pipes, it Originates around tees and bends.

ANSWER: Remove any finish with paint remover, and follow label directions carefully Most! pursuits would then bleach out |
