Gedar's many uses

IMENSIONAL stability and inherent decay-resisting properties make Western red cedar framing lumber an ideal choice for exposed situations such as decking and fencing.

With the same aesthetic qualities as the cedar products used for siding and paneling, the framing and board materials add dramatic interest to modern homes. Heavy material for use as posts, timbers, beams, stringers, joists, and planks are available as well as the lighter materials for decking, fencing, flooring and ceilings.

Available in a wide range of grades and a smooth or "saw texture finish," cedar adapts well to most finishing techniques, including paints and stains. Left natural, the wood turns to a beautiful silver-grey which is harmonious with the outdoors. While builders and homeowners may tend to think of cedar as useful in only limited applications, it is possible to expand the market with other cedar products. Equal in function and design appeal, the light framing, boards, and heavier materials fill a definite need in todaY's marketplace.

(Continued from page 16) radiator pressure cap pressurizes the entire cooling system to 7 psi. By pressurizing the system, the normal boiling point of clean water, 212 F. at sea level, is raised approximately 3 F for every 1 psi. Consequently, coolant in the system at sea level will not boil until a temperature of 212 F plus 2l F, or a total of 233 F, is reached.

The boiling point above sea level decreases llz F for everv l0O0 feet.

A leaking pressure caf will reduce the engineered boiling point of the cooling water and can cause overheating. A good service station can check cap opening pressure. If the cap is leaking or sticking, it should be replaced.

If all checks discussed so far haven't solved the problem, it may be that the engine isn't overheating. It is possible to have a faulty gauge or faulty temperature sending unit. This system can be tested by removing the temperature sending unit located in the thermostat housing and placing it in the pot of water. Compare the thermometer reading versus gauge reading and replace the faulty component.

Should the problem persist, the water pump might be faulty or rusty. Scale build up in the cooling system interior may be affecting heat transfer. When rust or scale is apparent in the cooling water, the cooling system should be cleaned. There are many good cooling water system cleaning solvents on the market; follow the instructions accordingly.

If your cooling system has a coolant filter, the inlet and the outlet valves should be closed before cleanine the system. The radiator can be reierse flushed by removing upper and lower radiator hoses and forcing water, not more than 6 psi, in a direction opposite to normal water flow.

Following this troubleshooting procedure should identify the problem. When further information is required, contact a good service station or your dealer.

Cooling system problems can be virtually eliminated by several preventative maintenance operations. Always use an anti-freeze water solution in the cooling system. Adding anti-freeze to the water lowers the freezing point, increases the boiling point, and lubricates the water pump seal. Use anti-freeze as required to prevent freezing; do not over con- centrate with anti-freeze.

Anti-freeze water solution should be changed when its color changes to a brown, rusty appearance. The engine and radiator should also be flushed at this time. The accumulation of rust and scale can be reduced by using a coolant filter.

Periodic checks of water level, fan belt tension, and radiator restriction should provide trouble free operation tor manv vears.

If you are thinking about opening a new business. it is advisable to check official data for background information. Demosraphic information can mean the dilferbnce between survival and failure.

For example, there is the fellow who opened a new hardware store in the suburbs without doing any research. He couldn't believe it when a True Value hardware opened nearby. The bigger and better capitalized store soon forced him to close.

If he had checked the records, he would have discovered that the competition had filed for construction permits months before he opened.
