Q&A


Q: We have turbine ventilators on the back side of our house roof to keep the attic cool in the summer. But what should I do with the ventilators in the winter? Some people tell me to close them up, while others say to let them spin.

—Rick Bakies, Seymour, Conn.

Tips


"If you have more wall space than floor space in the kitchen, opt for shallow, to-the-ceiling cabinets. You'll get plenty of storage with no need for costly interior pullouts."
— Eric Ryterski, Louisville, Colorado
