5. "SHOULD I STUCCO MY HOUSE" IN
TAGALOG -- THIS TIME IN THE RIGHT ORDER
Sorry about that. Thanks again to Fides Navera for her translation -- we
somehow messed it up. Here it is so that it makes sense:
"Should I stucco my house?"
"Kailangan ko bang ipa-stucco ang aking bahay?"
A stuccoed house looks modern.
Ang bahay na ipa-stucco mukhang modern.
The old wood bungalows in Highland Park were designed with excellent materials
and craftsmanship. Their beauty lies in their historic character.
AN old house that has been stuccoed does not look modern- it merely looks
like an old hose whose beautiful features have been hidden. It does not
look right.
Mga lumang bahay sa Highland Park ay gawa ng mga mahusay na material at
carpintero. Ang ganda ay makikita mo sa historia ng carpintero. Mga
lumang bahay hindi mag mumukhang moderno- magmumukang luma na hindi
maintindihan dahil sa modernong style ng stucco.
If I stucco my house, I will never have to paint my house again.
Kung ipa-stucco ko bahay ko, hindi ko na dapat papapinturahan.
Stucco must be painted nearly as frequently as wood, in addition to the cost of
applying the stucco. Cracks develop in stucco walls and must be sealed.
The maintenance of a wood exterior is not necessarily more expensive nor
difficult over the years than maintenance of a stucco exterior.
Ang stucco ay kailangang pinturahan malimit gaya ng kahoy pagkatapos ng
malaking halaga sa paglalagay nito. Ang pagaalagan ng bahay gawa sa kahoy
ay mas mura at hindi mahirap gaya ng stucco.
Stuccoing is an inexpensive and effective way to insulate my house.
Stuccoing ay mas mura at mas mahalaga para ipa-insulate ang aking bahay.
A stucco exterior is not an effective insulator. It is cheaper and more
effective to insulate your attic in order to keep the house cool in the summer
and warm in the winter.
Ang stucco ay hindi nakakatulong sa insulasyon ng bahay. Mas mabuting
lagyan ng insulasyon ang bubungan para maging mainit sa taglaming at malamig sa
taginit.
The wood of my old house will rot unless I cover it with stucco:
Ang kahoy nang aking lumang bahay ay bubulok kaya dapat tungtungan nang stucco.
The most effective preservative is a new coat of paint or stain.
Individual boards of shingles in poor condition can be easily replaced.
In fact, stuccoing can hasten deterioration of the wood underneath by
preventing it from breathing. The wood of most old houses in Highland Park
is still in good condition.
Ang pinaka mabisang pang patibay nang bahay ay bagong pintura. Ang bawat isang
peraso ng kahoy ay madaling palitan. Sa kototohanan, ang paglagay ng
stucco ay lalong makapapagbulok ng kahoy sa dahilang hindi ito nahahanginan.
Karamihan sa mga bahay sa Highland Park ay yari sa mahuhusay na kahoy at
tunay na nagtatagal pa.
Stuccoing my house can increase it resale value.
Kung ipa-stucco ko bahay ko tataas ang halaga.
Stuccoing of a wood house can actually decrease the value of the home, since it
loses the historic character that gives it its charm. In addition, the
quality of the original craftsmanship usually cannot be duplicated today.
Ang pagpa stucco ng isang bahay ay lalong maka-kapagbaba ng halaga ng isang
bahay sa dahilang mawawala ang angking katangian at ganda, atang pagkaorihinal
ng pagkagawa ng ganitong bahay ay hindi na matutularan sa panahon ngayon.
"About Aluminum Windows"
"Tungkol sa mga bintana na alumino"
Old wood windows are hard to open, and aluminum windows are better.
Mga lumang bintana na kahoy ay mahirap buksan, kaya mga bintana na alumino ay
mas mahusay.
With proper care, old wood windows can operate flawlessly. Windows not
functioning properly can usually be easily repaired at less cost than replacing
them.
Sa mabuting pagaalaga, ang mga lumang bintana ay magagamit pa ng maayos.
Ang mga bintanang hindi na naisasara ay mas murang ayusin kaysa palitan
ng bago.
Aluminum windows are more secure against entry than wood windows.
Mga bintana na alumino ay mas matibay para huwag papasukin kesa say bintana na
kahoy.
Mechanisms to prevent entry are easily attached to wood windows. Aluminum
windows can easily be lifted and pushed in. Wood windows are also better
insulators.
Maraming pantranka ang mailalagay sa lumang bintana para hindi madaling
pasuking ng magnanakaw. Ang bintanang "alumino" ay madaling
pasukin- itaas at itulak. Ang bintanang kahoy ay nagsisilbi ring mabuting
insulasyon, laban sa lamig.

8. LETTERS AND E.MAILS
"Great story about the remaining CEO's 'making a break for it.' Very
creative and funny. I hope it gets widely distributed and reaches some of
the crooks it parodies."
-- Mitch O'Farrell,, Glassell Park resident
"It is great having artists move to our great corner. I think I was
blessed to be able to see some of the latest changes (that I love).
Thanks for always keeping this community in the loop and making us aware
of local political people who are worthless.
I always appreciate all the time and effort you put forth for our wonderful
community. You keep us up on everything. And, it was nice meeting
you again on the house tour and discussing your great house."
-- Janice Silvernail, Eagle Rock resident and TERA member
9. QUOTE OF THE
WEEK
"Another element in the drive to encourage human
movement by means other than the automobile is the interconnection of uses.
Based on the foolishness of post World War II planning and development
patterns, uses have been sharply separated. Historic neighborhoods were
built from the beginning with a mix of uses in close proximity. Cities
with the foresight to readjust their zoning ordinances to encourage integration
of uses are seeing that interconnectivity reemerging in historic areas.
That's Smart Growth."
