THE BIG QUESTIONWhat kind of lumber shall J. select fo r the several repair jobs around the house?

First thing to be considered is yOU?' budget.Second, do you ~ Q a n t to make a tempomry?'epai1' or pm'manent one?Third, can you wait indefinitely, or do you~ ( ) a n t to start immediately?It's a rather mistaken idea that a board mustbe clear of knots to prolong its life, Quite theopposite is often true: In White Pine, for example,you may get a board that is pract ical ly all cut out of the sap part o f the tree, and it will rot quicklyThe heart boards maybe full of knots, but the last-

ing quali ty is there , and , if properly painted, theknots will be obscured, There is quite a differencein the cost of these, and you ar e getting th e longerl ife out of the cheaper board.
