With the right clothes, people with moderate in- comes can look prosperous. Likewise, moderately priced homes can look more ele- gant with the proper choice of attractively styled acces- Sories, such as windows and doors, “Quality craftsmanship” and ‘‘distinctive styling" have always been key phrases in the selection of. building materials for a house. For years, however, *‘quality” and “style” have meant ‘‘expensive’’ or “custom-made,” That's no longer the case. * With today’s precision- engineered, wood windows and panel doors, the ‘‘cus- tom” look is obtainable at a moderate price, Wood win- dows and decorative panel doors, which can add beauty and richness to any home, are available in a variety of styles and sizes at local building supply outlets, Where something com- PHONE 635-6108 MORTGAGE MONEY UNLOCK THE EQUITY IN YOUR HOUSE WITH A Ist, 2nd OR 3rd MORTGAGE FAVORABLE RATES CACREALTY LTD. 4624AGREIG AVENUE BOB HAYTER, MANAGER TERRACE Wood windows and pane! doors are elegant home accessories monplace is expected, something out of the ordi- nary, such as wood panel doors with fan or cathedral lights, adds interest and character to ahome. Wood panel doors usually have four, six or eight panels topped by a series of fan- shaped glass panels or round-topped, small win- dows. Variety in window styles also adds to the elegance of a home’s appearance. The attractiveness of a particular window style can enhance both the interior and exter- ior of your home, Bow win- dows, for example, have an elegant, outward curve, providing an expansive view. Bay windows, which offer you the same advan- tages, are straight in the center and angled at each end. Although obvious deco- rative assets, wood windows also help to conserve ener- gy. Obtainable with either insulating glass or separate storm sash, wood windows can reduce heat loss con- siderably. And, factory- -ipplied weatherstzipping keeps heat-robbing air in- filtration to a minimum, Wood windows are also available with a low-main- tenance exterior cladding which reduces the need for periodic painting.

Most folks would say you cannat put a price on it. ‘Which makes the few dollars spent on a pair of General Electric smoke de- tectors one of the best in- vestments in home security you can make this year, or any other. Smoke detectors signal a warning of a fire which can provide the precious extra minutes or seconds needed for your family to flee to safety if suddenly awakened in the middie of the night. There are some 1,500 home fires every day in the United States — one every 57 seconds. And, the total is . costly, not just in property, but also in life. More than 6,000 people die each year in home fires, and another 300,000 are injured. Currently, some 30 states require smoke detectors in ° new home construction, but it is estimated that only about one of three existing ‘residential dwellings are, now protected by these elec- tronic guardians. While iwo smoke detec- tors are normally adequate for most home situations,. you may want to consider more, depending on the style of your home. In gen- eral, smoke detectors should be installed on every level of the house,’ so a tri- level, for example, could easily use three, In multi-story homes, one, detector should always be positioned at the top of the stairs, where it can detect smoke rising from the lower level. You'll also want one close enough to the bed- rooms so you'll be able to hear it, should it alarm at night. General Electric’s Home Sentry smoke alarms havea high-pitched, 85-decibel . horn that is very difficult to sleep through. It is powered by a 9-volt battery which generally lasts up to a year. When the battery needs re- placing, it beeps at regular intervals, The GE Home Sentry smoke detector also is simple to install. It mounts with two screws and the job can be completed in just a few minutes. TE you're making only one home iniprovement this fall, make sure it is the in- stallation of smoke detectors.

If the seat is re:. movable, buy a half yard of fabric or vinyl to blend with ‘the spray paint color you've chosen. =” Remove the old finish simply by using an electric sander. If the finish is stub- born, apply paint and var- nish stripper, When surface begins to have a gummy consistency, (wearing rubber gloves) use a paint scraper to scrape everything off. Repeat several times if necessary. Allow to dry thoroughly. Now, reglue any loose joints. If possible, don’t remove them, Sctape offthe old glue around the holes carefully, then apply wood glue generously, allowing it to run into the hole. Wipe off excess. Next, fill all nicks, chips and hairline cracks with the wood filler, molding with fingers as you work, Scrape off excess and sand smooth when dry. Before refinishing, the entire chair should be sanded thoroughly several. times, wiping dust with rags and a soft, moistened sponge each time.
