That was the kind of ground rule Bill Banks applied in creating his moun tain home developments , and he has succeeded with his aims thus far, using a remarkable tal ent for daring the unusual with great results. The homes Creek Village, on scenic Indian Creek in western Yancey County; and the Buzzard Rock Ranchettes in South Toe, are each nestled in a secluded woodland setting with a lovely view should a buyer prefer to cut down some trees for this purpose. An external feature of each home is a deck or porch, ustnl ly made of rough-sawn boards and using locust limbs, bark still on, for necessary and or Autumn Color Peaks In October Vivid traces of the autumn color spectacle are beginning to glisten in the highlands, and all signs are pointing to an ex ceptionally beautiful Fall co lor splash during s he next three weeks. Rather warm September wea ther has delayed the turning of the leaves, but below freezing temperatures over the past weekend at Grandfather Moun tain, North Carolina have giv en promise to bringing on Mo ther Nature's greatest show pretty much on schedule in that area. F9.1l color begins each year at the higher elevations, so towering peaks such as offered at Grandfather Mountain are the first to witness the brilliant rads and golds. The peak view ing times should be from Octo ber 7 to October 25. I HOME REMODELING by Joyce Harlwe |<f, Piet., Lady Carpenter Enterprise, Inc. TO CONVERT AN OFEN PORCH into a beautiful year around outdoor room and plant conservatory, cloae it in with walla of glass on all open sides. Use horizontally-sliding glass windows —the kind that come with detachable storm windows and screens—to pro vide ventilation in summer, and install new heating to keep it warm during the cold months. * * * UNUSED SPACE between walls can be put to excellent use by breaking through one side and installing 5 or 6 inch shelves for paperback books, jars or bric-a-brac. namental railings and support posts. Along wiffo redwood, green and brown stains and paints used for the exterior of the dwelling, the result is a rustic woodland mountain home which blends beautifully with the surroundirg landscape. The interior of the ho mes carry out this theme, with the use of wormy chestnut for pan eling on some areas, simple, rough-sawn lumber on others. Large fireplaces are construct®! of native stone —sometimes free standing double sided fireplaces with the native stone extending up through the middle of a larg; room, separating the kitchen dining area from the livingroom. The cathedral ceilings with exposed beams add to the spa cious interior look, and large windows, including an occa The color is more evident this week at the high elevatiors where Maples and other hard woods present an interesting contrast to the dark evergreens and rocky cliffs. As the maith passes, the rainbow of color will descend into the valleys and foothills below.

One of Bill Banks' favorites of these mountain homes is the remodeled 2-story farmhouse in which he took out a wall to add a huge native stone fire place, used bark-covered lo cust poles for interior bannisters, used bright red shag carpet throughout the living area,and otherwise transformed the place into a cheerful rustic- looking home to suit the taste of any vacationer or year-round resi dent who likes the country-liv ing atmosphere.
