Utah Home answers - Pape7A and questions By ANDY LANG AP Nrtsslealures I expect to finish Q. my basement sometime during the fall. 1 plan on using an electric heater. 1 assume that no due is needed. Can 1 install it mysell or will 1 need an electrician? You are correct No flue is needed. A. In fact, all that is necessary is to place the heater where you want it and plug it in. However, il you should decide to have a built-ielectric heater, you probably will need an electrician, especially in areas where the code requires it. II you plan on built-ielectric heat, the time to have it dune is while the training is up and prior to installation of the walls. Therefore, the electrician should be consulted before you begin work. Q. We LA 24-- , 0 iL: je"1";h r r BATHt are plagued by a toilet tank that i "t BUNK RM A.n. 4fas rt" p't? - The Mahogany The Family Tree --. - 9- -- drips water in certain kinds of hot weather: that is. when the humidity is very high. My neighbor had the same problem a few years ago. but solved it by using covers over the tank, the bowl and the seat cover. We will use the same solution if we have to. but would prefer not to use the covers. Is there any other way to stop the dripping? A. One way is to have a plumber install a fixture that permits warm water to flow into the tank along with the cold. When this is done, the water in the tank is never very cold It is the cold water that produces the condensation drip when warm, moist air settles on the tank and the bowl. An easier and less expensive way to solve the problem is to install insulation inside the tank. Some houses and home centers plumbing-supplsell special insulation kits for this purpose. If you cannot obtain one in your area, get a synthetic loam or regular loam liner, cut to tiie dimensions of the tank. The inside ol the tank must be made dry before the liner is glued on. Get the right kind of glue by buying it where you get the loam. fet j " -- - . rj-- j DORMITORY p- SifL CX 5 P"T3 DINING 8- 13-- 0" Have $10,000 lots to build on $67,500 on these lots -- -0 FIRE OPTIONAL M J.' place OPEN f1 BALCONY o! i o i FIRST LEVEL FLOOR living-dinin- I 2 (' SECOND FLOOR 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths Full unfinished basement U Shaped Kitchen Half brick front Thermal windows & doors Formal dining room Large Living room Spacious Family room Lg.

I finally live in a house where I have space for a home workshop. I can put it either in the attic or in a utility room on the ground floor. Which do you reeommaid? A.

CLOSE Principle Broker 373-830- 0 I noticed some insulation in a home Q. center the other day and saw that each bundle had li and a number after it. What does that stand for? A. The R value of insulation designates the ability of the insulation to resist the the heat gain in the warm passage of heat weather, the heat loss in the cold. Higher mean greater insulating value. 4 ?r . m . 3 iHMu is the value of the elbows at the bottom of the kitchen sink and Q. What other plumbing fixtures? A. These pipes, sometimes in the shape ot a V and sometimes an S. are called traps. The traps must have water in them at all times, which is the reason for their shape. If there were no water there, sewer and other hazardous gases would back up into your home. I have a masonry project coming up Q. in which a considerable amount of mortaring must be done. After mixing the mortar, how long can it stand around before it is unworkable? Or doesn t it make any difference? A. It makes a big difference. If newly mixed mortar is not used within a couple of hours less in warm weather forget it. You will find it difficult or impossible to use and it will have lost much of its strength. Try to mix only as much mortar as you can use in less than an hour. Within two hours, you probably will be able to use it if you add some water to bring it back to its original consistency.
