To Stop Rattling of Windows
Annoyance from the rattling of windows may be overcome by attaching a small block to the side of the window casing so that it will engage the sash and hold it firmly. The block should be of ¹⁄₂-in. wood, about 3 in. long, 1 in. wide, and have one end rounded off. A screw is fixed through the block near the rounded end and driven into the window casing at such a point that when the block is turned upward on its pivot the rounded end will act like a cam and force the sash firmly against its grooves.
Practical Bracket for Garden Hose
Care in the storage of a garden hose will pay the owner in the longer life of it, and the homemade bracket shown in the sketch suggests a convenient method of caring for the hose. A portion of a barrel was sawed off at one of the hoops, and after reinforcing it by nailing the hoops and inserting shelves, it was nailed to the wall. The hose may be coiled over it in shape to be easily carried to the lawn or garden, for use. The shelves provide space for an oilcan for the lawn mower, and other accessories.
