Roof Leaks Slow To She
Late summer or early fall is a good time to check for leaks and fix faults before cold weather. After rain, inspect attic for dark water-stained areas and damp rafters. If leaks exist, old roofs likely need replacement with asphalt shingles laid over the old layer. Regular inspections help catch faults early.
Wool Blankets Insulate Barn Walls
Barns and other farm buildings without interior studs can be easily insulated with mineral wool blankets. They are fastened to walls via furring strips, nails and washers, or nailing clips. A waterproof paper barrier prevents moisture condensation, with lower wall sections protected by wood or metal wainscoting.
In-Wall Air Conditioning and Remote Wiring For Homes
Do it yourself builders can install in-wall air conditioning units by cutting openings in plaster, removing a stud, and fitting a shell into the wall. The units are 32 by 14 by 15 inches, conceal window space, and can be financed under FHA. A new remote control wiring system uses low voltage at outlets with individual transformers, plus safety benefits. A window putty that brushes on without a knife dries translucent and adheres well for pane installation or resealing.
