AFTER OFFICE HOURS Please Call Ralph Britt 884-4521 Jimmy Gaither 883-M7* Hot fuel-saving tip: insulate the attic Most homeowners know that insulating the attic is a project even the un handiest of handymen can accomplish in an after noon, armed with a tape measure, some batts of six-inch fiber glass insu lation, a large breadknife, and the sure knowledge that the heating and cool ing savings will be great. But, the Home Institute of Certain-teed Products Corporation, Valley Forge, Pa„ reports that today’s homeowner often has questions about the proj ect when he encounters attic obstructions, exposed wiring, enclosed lighting fixtures, and the like. To help answer some of these “what-do-I-do-now” queries, they’ve developed a baker’s dozen insulating checklist .... . one which even the professional in sulators often use to make sure the job is completed effectively and correctly: Unused attic? 1. If your attic is to bs used for storage, rather than living space, don’t insulate the rafters over head ... insulate the attic floor. It’s expensive to heat an attic that's never used. 2. Use six inches of fiber glass insulation with a vapor barrier (either kraft paper or foil faced) when insulating an uninsulat ed attic. The vapor barrier faces down, right on top of the ceiling material. 3. If your attic already has some insulation use unfaced insulation. The easiest product to handle is rigid-flt “batts” — insu lation pre-cut to 48" lengths. This material comes in 15' and 23" widths to fit snugly between the floor joists. When adding insulation with vapor-bar rier to existing insulation (assuming you can’t find unfaced insulation) slash the vapor barrier on the new Insulation batts and install the slashed barrier face down. Do not remove the old insulation... it all helps. Overlooked areas 4. Stuff insulation snug ly around all vents and pipes which pass from the living areas, through the ceiling into or through the attic. These often over looked areas around chim neys, exhaust fan vents, etc., are "heat leaks.’’ 5. Don’t insulate over built-in ceiling lighting enclosures. These often re quire a vertical heat re lease to avoid overheating, "bum out” or electrical shorts. 6. Don’t Ignore floor ar eas under attic walkways. Often, the batts of Insu lation can be pushed or pulled through these openings between the flooring and the ceiling below it by using an iron garden rake. Under the wiring 7. Where possible, place batts of Insulation under attic wiring. That way, you can always locate the wiring easily in the future. 8. Wherever there are "X” members or other cross members between the joists, cut the insula tion to fit underneath or around them. For "X” members, cut the insula tion at 90° angles. In ei ther case snugly butt the ends of each batt ... to prevent heat leaks. 9. Insulate the attic ac cess panel by stapling pieces of fiber glass Insu lation, cut to the same di mensions, into the top face of the panel. 10. Be sure to leave at tic vents open during the winter. Properly Insulated with 0" of fiber glass in sulation, the living area will have little heat loss .. and proper ventilation will keep the moisture lev el low in the attic. What to insulate 11. If you’re converting unused attic space to liv ing area, insulate only that area which is to be heated. Insulate across collar beams (the new ceil ing level), down rafters and vertical knee walls, then horizontally out to the eaves. Make sure there is some space between roof sheathing overhead and the outer face of the insulation if eave vents exist, to assure proper ventilation. 12. Open insulation bun dles only when and where you plan to use them. You’ll find they mush room to more than 4 times the original package size. 13. Use leftover scraps to wrap hot water pipes or heat ducts or stuff them in openings under drafty kitchen cabinets, etc. Waste not, want not!

How to finance fixing «/» The homeowner who wants to make home im provements has a num ber of sources for financ ing, according to the Na tional Home Improvement Council. Here’s what’s available: Passbook loans: Most banks, savings institu tions, and credit unions will allow a depositor to borrow up to 90 per cent on his savings. Life Insurance loans: When the homeowner has built up some cash value on his life Insurance, it is possible for him to bor row most of that amount. FHA Title 1: Special home improvement loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration are available from many banks and savings insti tutions. Conventional loans: In terest rates on conven tional, unsecured loans vary, but usually range from 10V4 to 12V4 per cent Contractor loans: These differ from the conven tional loan only in that the contractor arranges the loan. It will cost more, but the convenience may be worth it. Bank-based credit card: Although not recommend ed for larger projects, it Is possible to charge home improvements projects to a bank-based credit card for up to 18 per cent In terest per year. Finance company loan*: If the homeowner’s credit Is marginal or is notori ously "slow pay,” he find it easier to secure loan through a finance company. However, credit -' is often as much as 20 and 22 per cent. _ MIKE MEANY & ASSOCIATES : m REALTOR* Excellent building lot at Glen Cannon.
