HUBBARD Home Economics Extension Agent If room redecorating includes changing from wallpaper to paint, it is best to remove the paper first. Painting over wallpaper can loosen it and colors in some papers tend to bleed through. Start the task by spreading' drop cloths to protect carpeting, floors and furniture. Use a sturdy ladder or stepstool. Before attempting to remove the paper, it has to be scored. This is done by slitting the paper in a criss-cross pattern with a sharp knife. 'There are three ways to then loosen wallpaper: 1) sponge soak with hot water; 2) sponge soak with a commercial wallpaper removing solution; 3) use a rented steamer. A steamer is particularly helpful if there is more than one layer of wallpaper to remove. After paper is loosened it can be peeled off. Stubborn patches may have to be retreated. Then patch cracks, fill holes and sand the wall smooth. The final step before applying paint is to wash the wall with detergent or soap suds to remove any dirt and paste residue. Rinse and let dry thoroughly. Worth the time and effort, these procedures will help insure a longer-lasting and more attractive paint job.

A little advance planning can go a long way toward eliminating or at least re ducing that worry, say special ists with the North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service. Long before the vacation begins you can make plans to keep your home safe, they say. Burglars see piles of news papers, mail and an overgrown lawn as a sure sign your house is empty. So, before you go, arrange to have your newspa per delivery stopped tempo rarily, your mail picked up by a neighbor and your lawn mowed regularly. Leave a key with a neighbor so they can inspect your house regularly. Give them a list of places where they can reach you quickly. If you will have bills or insurance premiums due while you’re away make sure they’re paid in advance. Don’t wait until the last minute to have your car tuned up. Be sure to have a spare tire and the proper jack and lug wrench along with a flash light, flares, fire extinguisher and first aid kit in the car with Hardened paint brushes can often be made as good as new by simmering them in boiling vinegar for a few minutes and , then washing them in soapy water. you. You may also want to take along duplicate car keys and your insurance information card.
