Fix-It Tip If you hear a banging or hammering in water pipes whenever you turn off a fau cet, don’t ignore it and hope it will go away. (No problem involving home maintenance will ever go away until it is fixed.) It is caused by excess vibration, and has been known to split pipes wide open. Don’t call the plumber until you’ve checked the ex posed lengths of pipe and their metal straps and mounting brackets. If a pipe is loose or sags, firmer sup port may arrest both vibra tion and noise. Needle Arts By NANCY SEWELL Cobweb Lace Lovely flower centerpiece in cobweb lace!
