HOME IMPROVEMENT

ARCHITECTURAL flaws can be
masked by distracting the eye.

Wallcoverings are an_ excellent
way to do it. Overall patterns or
textures can smooth out ir-
regularities in walls.

Strong vertical stripes in a shade
darker than the ceiling can add
height to a room; a dark
wallcovering on the ceiling with
light-colored walls can lower a
high ceiling.

How to

prepare

a basic tool kit

EVERY HOUSE or apartment
that serves as a home for a family,
roommates or a single person re-
quires. a basic tool kit because
there is always something that will
require repair as the result of day-
to-day use.

Whether it is a loose screw or a
picture to be hung, an: electrical
repair or a piece of knock-down
furniture to be assembled, tools
ate a necessity,

While it is not essential to have a
vast collection of expensive tools,
there are several basic tools every
household should have.

‘Let's start with the hammer: For
basic use, the 16-ounce claw ham-
mer is probably the most versatile.
The claws allow you to pull nails
and the weight is easy to handle.

like picture framing or
re-upholstery, a tack hammer is
also a good idea. .

Next in importance is a set of
screwdrivers, This should include a
large and small standard slot
driver, a red-handied, green-
handied and black-handled
Robertson (square head)
screwdriver and a large and small
Phillips (cross head). Remember,
however, that screwdrivers are for
driving screws. If you want to pry
things apart buy a pry bar.

Pliers are next on the list. There
are two types that should be in the
kit. One is a slip joint plier that
can be adjusted to grip a large or
small surface, while the other is an
electrician’s side cutters, which
combines a flat jaw and wire cut-
