STATE COLLEGE HINTS TO FARM HOMEMAKER By"VEH1SIA STANTON Assistant State Agent A big question in the minds o!' many farm families these days whether or not to remodel the old farmhouse. Before getting deep into plans for making an old house more comfortable, efficient and attractive, first make sure that the house was well built and is still sound, housing experts of the U. S. Department of Agriculture advise. Thorough remodeling generally tuke$ Iojc moterial but more lnbur than building a new structure, say these specialists. If an old hou>e needs complete rebuilding, this usually costs more than putting up a new house. Before deciding to remodel, they advise: (1) Examine the house from foundation to roof and esti mate the needed repairs and their cost. (2) Look at the location, thinking of good drainage, protec tion from cold winds which make a house hard to heat, protection from flooding during heavy rains, good sewage disposal, convenience to the highway. (3) The water supply is important._ Water should be plentiful and tested for safety. If the house and its site stand inspection, and remodeling seems like a wise investment, give as much thought to remodeling plans as you would to planning a new house, say the experts. They sug gest checking the following points carefully. Have you planned for enough rooms for your family's needs? Traffic lanes-house entrances con venient to the drive; kitchen and work areas arranged to save steps; dining space convenient to kitchen serving area; living space; sleeping space; utilities; appearance; and cost.
