THE CONTRARY SINK

    Got leaky sinks? You're not alone. If you want the job done right, call a man who wears his trousers below his spinal column. If you don't mind taking the risk of drowning all the rats that live under your floor, read this article.

THE HOME OFFICE

 
    Every man wants a private office where he doesn't have to catch a bus or call a cab to reach it. You have a room suitable for that office, but you'll have to fight your wife for it since she's claimed it for the crib or for her sewing room, and she won't give it up except over your dead body. Never fear, I might just have the solution for you.

HOME SECURITY

    Looking for a way to protect that junk nobody in their right mind wants? Or do you, like me, have bears that have cast their claim on your property? That phony camera and sign you put up has done no good at all since thieves and bears can't read. Here's some tricks that just might work for you.

MODERN HOUSE AND LIVING

    Modern homes have modern problems. I don't have a modern home (see it to your left) so you'll have to go elsewhere for modern ideas. If you have a house about ready to fall around your knees, then read on.

MORE HOUSE PROBLEMS

 
    The picture to your left has nothing whatever to do with what I have on this page. But if you like toilets I'll try to find a problem with one of mine so I can fix it and tell you about it. I do have a toilet story to share. Once I tried to fix the toilet of a lady I was interested in. It continued to dribble into the bowl. When I was finished with it the tank was split down the middle and ran water all over the floor and into the apartment below hers. I don't understand it, but as ungrateful as she is she never called me for help thereafter. Nor did I get that date I was after.
