By literally raising the roof of his St. Louis bungalow, he added three bed rooms and space for a bath to *.hat had been a five-room, one story bouse. lake manv owners of small houses on small lots, this family decided to go upward when they realized thev couldn t build out ward without taking up too much of their rear yard. Once the decision was made, the rest was comparatively easy. Anew superstructure for walls and roof was erected atop the old roof, and anew roof of as phalt shingles applied to give sure weather protection.

ALPHARETTA 5061 NEAR MIDWAY CHURCH The owner chose asphalt shh.gles because of the reliable service they had given on the roof of the original house, and because he liked the silvery gray color used on the old roof. Before the interior was parti tioned otr and finished with gyp sum board, the owner installed mineral wool four inches thick in the ceiling and three inches thick in the walls to insure sum mer comfort and economical winter heating. Another savings was in the use of double-hung window units of ponderosa pine. These helped reduce labor costs, since they are assembled at the factory and need only' be nailed into the w in dow opening when they arrive at the building site. Total cost of the expansion, i including roughed-in plumbing for the second-floor bathroom, j was $2,700.

Watson Attorney ffffffffffffffffffSl q—What’s the best way to re move paint from a ceiling? I’ve tried paint remover, but it drips. A—A commercial paint re mover is available especially for ceilings. It is paste-like, and will not drip when properly applied. q—We’d like to insulate our old house, but a neighbor said we’d have to open up the walls and ceilings inside to install it. Isn’t there an easier wav? A—Your neighbor is behind the times. Modern _ techniques have been developed by insula tion engineers to permit mineral wool to be forced into walls and other inaccessible areas under air pressure. The pressure packs the mineral wool tightly into every corner and crevice, form ing a thick blanket of protec tion all around the house. To do the job, workmen remove small pieces of siding and drill holes in the sheathing. The end of a flexible rubber hose goes into the hole, and insulation is pumped through the hose. When the space is filled, the siding is carefully replaced. Q—l’d like to try the new weed killer that changes chemi cally to fertilizer two or three weeks after it’s applied. What do I ask for? A—There are several brands, but your garden supply dealer will know what you want if you ask for garden cyanimide. Q —l want to paint the con crete floor of our basement, but my wife refuses to let me bring muriatic acid into the house for pre-etching the concrete. Any suggestions? A—Today you can buy a num ber of paints for concrete that do not require the use of acid. Q—How often should an oil burning furnace be cleaned and inspected? A—Twice a year. A good rule is once in the Fall before the heating season, and again in Spring after the season is over. Photos Help Choose Color For Painting Don't guess and gamble when you repaint, reroof, or redeco rate the exterior of your home in other ways, says Margaret Hargreaves, a leading California home color stylist. If you can't afford the services of a’ professional color stylist, says Miss Hargreaves, try a number of color combinations on enlarged photographs of your house. Here are steps to follow for an exterior color scheme everyone \ 1 like: 1. Take—have taxen—a good photo of the house, and order at least a dozen 8 by 10- inch enlargements made on matt-surfaced paper. 2. Sit down under a good light with the photographs and a box of quality water colors and start thinking of colors you hon estly like. Color one photo at a time. 3. Miss Hargrea V’ti o guc/vl color stylists always start with the roof because this is a large, important color area, and pro vides a color “key” for the oth er components of the house. Since asphalt shingles are avail able in almost every color imag inable. you can "let yourself go.” Keep in mind, however, that if your house is tall and boxy it will look better with a dark roof color. If it’s small and low, a light color will make it seem bigger. 4. Choose any SiUC w ail color that appeals to you. as long as it doesn’t clash with the roof color. A good idea is to start on the first photo with a sharp color, and work toward softer shades as you go along. This will give you a range of con trasts. 5. Trim, .nuuc.., flower boxes, and doors are im portant color areas. Color styl ists have found that trim and windows painted the same color s the roof can give unity to the color scheme. Doors, shut ters and flower boxes are good spots to use sharp accent colors. _ World sugar futures fall to new lows.

A flit roof is a distinct dis- 1 „iv, ntage to a house when its "■v/ners decide they want to in- i VU "entral air conditioning. So says the Westinghouse B ectric Corp. in anew booklet c.i residential air conditioning. Flat roofs with no attics, Westinghouse engineers point cut, offer no space for equip ment, and make it extremely difficult to install the extra insu lation needed for air condition ing. “Ventilation is difficult and less effective than with attics. Roof designs of this type make installation of duct work very difficult.” Steeply pitched roofs, t.ie re searchers add, make installation of equipment and ducts rela tively easy, and provide ade quate ventilation. A further ad vantage, they point out, is that the thick insulation required for efficient, economical cooling is easier to install, and cooling equipment can be smaller and less costly. A number of studies have shown that when a 6-inch thick ness of mineral wool is installed in ceilings, a minimum of 3 inches in walls, and at least 2 inches in floors over uncooled ■ 4 lf~ | Save up to $102.75 in Cost!

In addition, operating costs of the equipment, plus heating fuel expenditures, are lowered as a result of the thick insulation. A pitched roof offers other advantages to summer comfort.
