First Aid For ‘Ailing Houses.

By ROGER. C. WHITMAN CONCRETE BLOCK MORTAR

QUESTION: I own a 10-year “old frame duplex. The basement walls are of concrete blocks.

The mortar between almost every block got loose and there “ts a little crack about one-sixty- fo;rth of an inch wide, going up and down, in the mortar. What

caused it and what can I do to

torrect it?

ANSWER: The mortar could shrink and crack if the con- ——tretebiocks were-not-kept-damp -while- the -original.-mortar._work was curing; ¢ , surround. ing blocks exert-a—biotting“ae-

~-tion*on“the-wet mortar...

The loosened craeked mortar should be scratched out and re- placed with fresh, being sure to keep the surrounding blocks damp for a week or so to allow slow, proper curing of the mor- tar.

CRACKED PAINT

QUESTION: We painted over our old varnished woo dwork with a latex paint. Even though we followed the instructions earefully, the paint has crack- ed badly. What is the best method of removing this. latex paint? Could another paint be applied over the cracked sur- face?

ANSWER: If the old varnished surface was absolutely clean and the gloss dulled, before ap- plying the new paint, the crack- ing is probably due to the sur- face not-having been thoroughly dry when the paint was applied. For best results, I don’t recom- ment applying another paint over the latex paint, the easiest method is to sand it off with a portable electric sander; or use a. prepared paste-type paint re- mover following manufacturer’s directions on the container.
