l Panelling a new room in the lbasement or finishing a roughed fin room in the attic is a job

tackle.

If you plan to panel both walls and ceiling is it best to put on ceiling panels first. A few tips on 'how to handle fir p';rwood ceil- ing panels are illustrated here.

First, blocking will be needed at the top plate where walls jo'n the ceiling joists. This 2 x 4 blocking rpl ac ed between the joists will provide a nailing sur- face at the perimeter of the room to which ceiling panels can be attached.

Blocking between the joists is also recommended at four foot intervals to provide additional! nailing surfaces.

With joists on two foot cen- tres and blocking on four foot centres, the 4 x 8 foot plywood panels will then" meet on solid nailing surfaces.

Handling fir plywood ceiling panels at left is a simple '1‘-lbar

which will be of great assistance. A cleat -nailed -to the top plate

A bench made of sawhorses with a ‘ir plywood panel laid on 2 x 45 makes a solid stand from which to proceed. The handle of the T-bar should be aipIproxi~mate— ly one inch longer than the dis-_ tance from the ‘bench to the ceil- ing.

Nails as small as can be con- veniently handled are best for nailing up the quarter-inch ply- wood panels. A good-size finish- ing 'nail for the job D5 1% inch.

Check Roof For Loose Shingles

Now's the time to fix up around the house after the hard winter. Fortunately, most of the repair jobs you can do yourself.

Modern landscaping will help to keep your property from deteri- ,ora.ting in value formany years. ‘if your property is overgrown from hit-or-«miss, outmoded plant- ings 10 to 20. years of age, you can relandscape it to make the property more beautiful and live- able.

Modern shrubs, many unknown even ten years ago, grow more slowly and stay shorter than many plants put in the ground years ago. .

Often is is more economical to call in a landscape nurseryman to plan the job right from the start. You not only avoid mis- takes, but the overall effect is far more pleasing.
