It should not be necessary to resort to such extreme measures as this. Adding insulation to the house will make your bed rooms, even those up under the roof, bearable in Summer. The amount of money it costs to force rock wool between the inner and outer walls of the house by means of a pneumatic hose is less than that you'd spend for a new family car—and it will last more years. There is a company that will come at the drop of a hat, estimate what it would cost to fill in the air spaces in your walls with ffuffy, fire-resistant and permanent threads spun from rock, and within & week you can have an indoor change of temperature, no matter what the thermometer does outdoors.

It fills the bill on another count: It's quiet. Cork absorbs the sound of foot- steps, you see, and feels comfortable to the foot at the same time. It has the added advantage that when things are dropped on the floor, they do not break—which magkes cork tife a good material for bath rooms and kitchens. Select Wall Colors First. In selecting a color scheme for a Toom, the wall colors should be s lected first, followed by a choice of harmonizing floor and ceiling colors.
