Carpenter fixes drawers with improvised catches
An old carpenter explains a method to stop drawers from pulling out. He cuts two small wood pieces about 2% inches long and inch wide and screws them to the drawer back. The pieces project to catch the front edge of the chest when pulled forward. He turns the catches down while inserting and then turns them up to secure the drawer.
Instructions for Home Painting Properly Followed
Read and follow the paint container instructions. Thin as directed and stir well. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Use a high grade brush and apply two light coats. For unpainted surfaces consider an undercoat and allow each coat to dry fully. Color influences lighting. flat finishes suit large areas. Use glass or high gloss for furniture and floors. Semi-gloss works for kitchens baths and sunrooms.

Throw Some Light On This Subject
Lighting experts say homes need two kinds of light general and specific to illuminate space properly. Place a sofa lamp on a table about 25 inches high with the shade about 20 inches to the side of the seated viewer. A floor lamp should stand 47 inches tall and illuminate the work area about 15 inches to the side. Fluorescent bulbs provide well distributed light when hidden behind cornices or shadow boxes.
