See It On Our Soles Floor Last Word Goes to the Womaa t When Family Boys a House The woman has the last word when a family ouys a house, ac cording to American, Builder,—most - widely read maga2ine of the building industry. “Tlie housewife makes a discerning inspection. Then she weighs all the advantages and disadvantages and delivers rf final ultimatum. wiuai usually means saie or no^ sale,”’ American Builder’s editors say. For this reason, the magazine notes, builders are making kitch ens as desiraible as possible, fre quently including full kitchen equipment in the purchase price of a house. No Big Cash Outlay Advantage of the “packaged kitchen,” the editors explain is that "the cost of kitchen appli ances becomes part of the mort gage and payments are spread out over a number of years. An initial, large, cash outlay is not required. American Builder has figured that a $4.48 increase in the month ly mortgage payment usually is sufficient to buy complete kitchen equipment. This would include a $245 refrigerator, a $180 range, a $350 combination dishwasher-sink, a $125 waste disposal unit and cabinets and counter top valued at $300. This compares to the ordinary "bare” kitchen which includes only a sink without dishwasher and less expensive cabinets and counter. Financing Easier American Builder says, “By systematically planning and in stalling equipment as construc tion progresses, much in value and appearance can be added to the average home. “There is always a host of minor items to .purchase when moving into a new house aftd frequently there are major pieces of fumi- < ture as well. If major kitchen ap pliances also must be bought, the family budget is very apt to be stretched to an unsound degree. The packaged kitchen is expressly intended to avoid this difficulty.” o Test Color Ideas On Photos First .Thinking of remodeling a house or • ftaiMinif' the . exterior? Here’s a suggestion which might make planning easier. t HaOe several big enlargements | made from a clear sharp photo | graph of the house. Then test ' your color ideas by coloring the photographs with crayens or water I colors, using a different combina tion of colors on each photograph. The color will be easier to apply of the prints are made on matt surfaced paper, rather than glossy. Remember that the present trend in home styling is to vise color freely and imaginatively. Sidewalls must not always Be white. For the roof, an exception ally wide range of solid and blend ed asphalt shingle colors is avail able. Don’t neglect the color pos sibilities of doors, -window; sash, shutters, trim, flower boxes and chimneys. •' Science Foretells Termites, Fungi; * Wood Lasts Longer Termites and wood-destroying fungi cause damage estimated at more than S50,000,000 a year, but science is now making it rela tively- easy to protect a home against these forces, says Ameri can Builder magazine. One .^common methbd of con trolling termites is to place metal shields between the foundation masonry and the wood resting on the foundation. These shields Frame construction is used throughout, with wide siding for exterior finish and asphalt roof shingles. Lattice work supports the front entrance hood. There are two bedrooms, bath, combin ation dinette and kitchen, and a large living room. A corrugated glass partition shields the front entrance door and coat closet in- the living room and a wood-burning fireplace with book shelves is opposite the double glazed window; Cabinets in- the galley-type kitchen are on opposite walls, leav ing a dinette in one end of the kitchen. Range and refrigerator are Ion the inside wall and sink un der the window. Linen cabinet and two closets, one a large storage closet, are located in the small bedroom hall, wardrobe closets in tre bedrooms and closets for both front and rear entrances. The attached garage has over head door and concrete floor. There is a full basement under garage. Dimensions are 49’ 6” x 26’. The floor area, exclusive of garage, is 988 sq. ft. and the garage is 19, 266 cu. ft. I are not intended to kill termites tout to force them out in the open where they can be seen and de stroyed. Another way of controling ter mites is to use chemical preserva tives. Wood treated with the better kinds of commercial preservatives also is resistant to fungi, Ameri can Builder explains. Fungi and the most destructive varieties of termites require mois ture in order to exist. American Builder consequently recommends using only well-seasoned lumber and providing adequate ventilation as means of preventing excessive moisture condensation.
