Basement Post Drainage and Basement Wall Answers
The paper explains basement posts rot when footings are too low. Set posts on concrete bases raised six inches above the floor with preservative saturated bases. If rot appears replace posts on proper bases. Brick walls may be satisfactory if well burned and laid in neat mortar by an experienced mason. A warm air furnace can heat a 24 by 46 bungalow with reliable furnaces guaranteeing satisfactory performance. Second hand bricks can be stuccoed or painted depending on preference.

Well Equipped Kitchen Inspired by Laboratory Design
An article advocates kitchen planning like a home laboratory with walls lined by cupboards for efficient, practical work. It details sink centered layouts, under-sink cabinets, glass shelves, a window trough for ripening produce, a sturdy bench and wire baskets, plus a roomy left-side cabinet for silverware and dishes. A bright yellow and apricot color scheme with sky blue furniture completes the look.
Paint or stucco decisions and home repair tips
A reader asks about applying paint or stucco to brick walls, with guidance to choose based on architecture. Winter water piping for hot water systems is not advised due to rust risk. Squeaking oak floors may require laying new flooring with proper underlayment and solid nailing. Suggestion against self-managing subcontracting without a general contractor, as it may not save money and requires expertise.
Demand a 6% Metropolitan Loan when you buy a home
The article explains how mortgage interest increases total home cost. A $3,000 loan at 7% adds $210 yearly versus $180 at 6%. Over 10 years the 7% loan adds about $300 more, so buyers should pursue a 6% loan to save money on long terms.
