But now they know that painting a house is like eating a steak When you divide the whole thing into bite-size sections, the under taking is simple. If your house is overly large or terrifying tall, you may still feel hesitant. If this is the case, you'll be interested to know that it's usu ally possible to find a painting con tractor who will take the "high road" while you take the "low one." Such cooperative contractors will give you pointers on procedure while you work as a member of the team. Cheek for Repairs To begin with, it's important to check over all exterior areas of your house to see where repair work is needed. Boards may have rotted and should be replaced. Peeling paint is a warning that destructive moisture has forced an entrance. Its source needs to be traced so the devilment may be stopped. Rusted metal also needs careful attention. All rust must be taken off with sandpaper, steel wool or wire brush. Prime New Surface Where new wood is added ? or old coatings are completely re moved ? the surface must be primed. Nail head indentations should then be leveled with putty. Where rust is removed, the bare metal should be coated with a primer devised for the purpose. It goes without saying that all rough areas should be sanded smooth and that all cracks should be filled with either putty or caulking compound. Loose dirt should also be whisked off with a dusting brush. Gather Materials After your surface preparation is complete, it's highly important to round up all the tools and ma terials you'll need so you'll have them within reach, ooce you begin the actual painting. Check to see that you have stir ring paddles, solvent for cleaning brushes, wiping rags, drop cloths to protect the shrubbery, strainers ?If the paint has been previously opened, a paint can opener, neces sary ladders and brushes of the proper sizes. For siding, you'U need a 4-inch brush; for trim, 2- or 3-inch one and, for window sash, one of the | brushes designed for the purpose. Palat Trim First On upper sections of the house where a ladder is needed, paint the trim before you paint the body of the house. In this way you'll avoid marring newly painted areas with the top of your ladder. When you're working near the ground, however, you can reverse the pro cedure, If you wish, and paint the trim last. A favored way of painting the siding on a clapboard house ia to paint first the under edge at the board where it overlaps its ad Joiiiaf neighbor. Next, with a full brush, unload spots of paint along a single width within the area in i) which you are painting These Jalousies Do th? Job Today's jalousie windows make It easy to add a room mr enclose a porch. Controlled ventilation and beauty are two features of this type of window. Tar Heel SPA Considers Markley Grain Elevator The P. R Markley Grain Corp. of Philadelphia is interested in putting a grain elevator at one of North Carolina's ports. A grain elevator means storage facilities for grain and the mechan ism for loading and unloading the grain. At present there is a grade-load ing mechanism at the Morehead City p,,v"t that is without the ele vator-type storage unit. John H. Frazier Jr., represent ing the Markley firm, told the State Ports Authority last week that he is interested in having a grain elevator at either Morehead City or Wilmington, or at both places. He outlined advantages of a grain elevator at a North Caro lina port as follows: 1. North Carolina producers would be benefited Immensely, due to a competitive export market for their products and because of lower transportation costs from the North Carolina area to a North Carolina Port rather than to Nor folk. We think it is possible that this could easily mean a million dollars a year or more return to the producers. 2. Construction of the elevator itself would cost in the neighbor hood of $700,000 to $1,000,000. This construction would mean imme diate activity to give employment locally. 3. Longshoremen's payroll and spots should be quite close U getlftr. Finally, draw your brush through the spots, merging the paint and completely covering the board with the fresh coating. Dry Weather Needed The best time to paint a house U during a dry spell when the hu midity's low. Don't start In the morning until the dew his dried from the surface. Then follow the shade, if possible. When painting the side of a house, start at the highest point and apply paint in horizontal strips about three feet wide. Never stop in the middle of a strip for any great length of time. You'll have fun with your paint ing. Furthermore, you'll enjoy the fruits of your industry for a long time to come. Tour newly painted house will delight your eye and re new your pride in your home. The new coat of paint will also give you the satisfaction of know ing that it's standing guard aver the important investment your home represents. elevator payroll would be assets to the community. 4. Increased commercial activity because of the handling of grain. Almost all commercial elements of the Port would benefit, includ ing banks, stores, insurance com panies, power companies, etc. 5. Additional vessels act as a wheel within a wheel. They stimu late greatly imports and exports. More ship sailings mean greater opportunity to book cargo. More lines will make regular calls. 6. Eventual tonnage aim would be 450,000 tons per year. Minimum normal export requirements for a break-even basis would be 180,000 tons. This would really put More head City on the map as a Port if such business should be accom plished. 7. If elevator is at Morehead City, State of North Carolina will receive 4% of Southern Railway revenue applied to North Carolina haul. 8. At the end of the 25-year per iod, the ports authority would own the grain elevator. Mr. Frazier said that before his firm would build an elevator here, the SPA would have to set a policy of no wharfage fee or charge for moving cargo over the state port docks. The grain firm would pay $1,000 a year for exclusive rental of the transit shed located along the "old dock". Mr. Frazier pointed out ihat, fctL firm might be able to buy a grai? elevator property at another port for a reasonable price If the SPA felt it could not meet his requests in North Carolina. He pointed out that concessions to his firm are necessary because other grain firms have free use of elevators owned by railroads, or free use of privately-owned elevators operated by railroads. The SPA is considering the pro posals by the ? Markley firm and has been asked by Mr. Frazier to make a decision in the imme diate future.
