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.
