1. Savings
A quick way to find out if your house needs extra insulation is to take a look outside. On a dull day, is the snow melting on the roof? If so, you don't have enough insulation in the attic.

2. Cultivated Flowers And Vegetables To Dry
Dry in container, adding a little water occasionally to prevent too quick dehydration. Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea, many other varieties).

3. Landscaping
This idea will give the effect of a larger piece of ground, and lend added interest to the plants since they will not all be in view around the sides of a lawn in one quick glance.

4. Considering Natural Gas
In terms of quick pay back, purchasing a conventional gas furnace and then paying $400 extra for a vent damper and electronic ignition system is more cost effective.

5. Solar Power
It's easy to see why solar heating's cost and practicality problems haven't yielded to any quick fixes. You need only look at what's involved in a standard solar panel home-heating system to understand why the pay-back period is still in excess of 25 years.

7. Setting Up A Hydroponic Unit
For the kitchen, tiers of troughs for vegetables and quick maturing salads are quite practicable. Outside beds can be established on any open space, in existing gardens, or on waste ground.

8. Bench - Type Continuity Checker
Although this checker is limited in that it cannot give resistance readings and must be connected to a 110V outlet, it serves to give a quick yes / no circuit test without the need of setting dials and often without the need of handling probes.

9. Go / No - Go Battery Checker
Low-voltage flashlight and transistor-radio batteries accumulate in the workshop and often the temptation is to discard them all rather than go through the time-consuming task of checking them with a voltmeter and then deciding which have sufficient life left to make keeping them worthwhile. Often voltmeter circuitry is inadequate to render an accurate reading. But to avoid throwing away still useful batteries, try constructing this handy go/no-go battery checker. The battery checker has simple circuitry and inexpensive components. Test leads are connected to terminals 1 and 2 of the 4-terminal barrier strip. When the leads are touched momentarily to the terminals of the battery, the secondary winding of transformer T (a standard doorbell transformer) loads down the battery. When the leads are released, the primary winding experiences an inductive kick which travels through terminals 3 and 4 to the attached neon lamp I. If the battery is still good, the lamp will briefly flick on. Quick, inexpensive, and a lot less trouble than a VOM, wouldn't you say?

10. Hand - Held Dryer
If the motor does not run, a quick reading must be taken as the safety thermostat will open. A voltage test on the output terminals of the rectifier should read 7—10V dc.
