Hints

GET YOUR OUTDOOR LIVING
room ready for summer -~
It’s a good idea to start planning
tor the activities that summer will
bring. Tnis. for the most part,
means getting ready for outdoor
living.
If last year's chairs and tables
seem shabby and run-down, a lit
tle imagination, energy and a can
r,f paint will make them look like
new. Color outdoors contributes to
the over-ail mood and atmosphere
just as it doe* indoors in the family
or recreation room.
H is a good idee te itemize
the various things which nerd
repairing and repainting. 14
might he the breeseway, re
tainer wall# or fences, lawn
decorations, chair#, tables and
benches, flower pots and flow
er boxen. If the list look# ex
tensive. you’d be wise to rely
tm an experienced painter.
However, if only a few items
need painting voa and your
family could do it.
YOUR PAINT JOB The first
step in any paint job is to clean
the surface. If old paint is in a
powdery condition, use a wire
brush on the surface.
An oasy way to paint metal fur
niture is to use a spray enamel
packaged in its own spray can.
Such s spray enamel can be ap
plied to ■wood, wrought iron, and
sve*» winker and straw furfuture.
