Their QUESTION: After driving or prolonged rums the antique brick veneer finish of my home , becomes saturated and water suns behind the i veneer to the sill and eventually into the basement. Should I apply a sealer to the brick, or provide drip holes at the sill line? -A. W. N., West Englewood, N. J. I ANSWER: Using a sealer on the brick is ■ good practice to preserve them against deteri oration. Also, “weep holes'* are a good idea ito prevent rot of the sill. These may ba drilled through the brick at the sill line, equated off with a cold chisel. Air admitted | through these holes wilt help dry up the dampened wood. QUESTION: Can you tell me of a prepara tion to clean a discolored bath tub? The stains •re apparently just on the surface, but mild abrasive cleansing powders do not seem to remove the stains. —S. L., Gardner, Mass. ANSWER: First try some of the bleaching liquids such as ammonia used straight, chlor ine solutions, lemon-juice-with-salt, trisodium phosphate, or sodium citrate. Wet a cloth with these, press over the stains, let stand a white, then rinse. A poultire of any one of these mixed with whiting and glycerine and spread over the stains and let stand until dry may do the trick. Finally, try powdered pum ice scrubbed over the area with a few drop! I of water as a lubricant. These should work on porcelain tubs—but may wear through the enamel-on-metal style tubs. QUESTION: I wish to replace a rotted sill in an attic window. Can this be done without removing the whole frame? -C. J., Garfield Heights, Ohic ANSWER: It is possible to do the job thii way, but since sill and frame are usually nailed together at several points, removal ol the frame and starting over is the quickest nod best way.
