Its time to tackle children's rooms ? ire you among the many people who've been tempted to try their hand at remodeling, but have been afraid of "botch ing up the works?" It's time to give vent to your creativity! Where to start? There's no better place than your child's room-- a spot that doesn't demand a masterpiece of carpentry and where small mistakes are not critical. You can work awhile, put your tools away until next weekend, then start where you left off. And you'll never find a more appreciative audience--nor a more helping hand--than from a youngster who's going to occupy the "new" room. A child's room can be located in an unused attic, part-time garage, or in a new addition; and it's likely his present room can be equipped for more efficient use and better storage. In any case, here are five pages of playful but sound ideas from home owners just like yourself. They've had satisfying results from remodeling youth rooms. Rewards have been numerous. At the top of the list: children who live in these rooms gained good housekeeping habits that'll follow them through life. If your talents are limited, you may want professional design help, and perhaps a contractor. But the place to start is your lumber dealer's counter--his name is on the covers. He's ready to help you with the job from start to finish--with the best advice and materials available.

The Joseph Stiflers, Detroit, did more than dream-they built. Their hand some summer house (left) in Glen Lake, Mich., contains all the fea tures they wanted. A local builder took their simple sketch, devel oped it into a delightful hideaway. BUILDER: JOHN HATLEM DECORATOR: MARY MUELLER PHOTOGRAPHY: HBDR1CH-BLESSING FAMILY-TESTED 18 2HOME NO.

House sleeps eleven comfortably. Wood deck and siding are redwood for care-free maintenance. No wasted steps to spoil vacation fun. Divider with pass-through (left) simplifies serving from kitchen; opposite side stores table equipment. Large fireplace --it takes chill off Michigan's cool nights--and exposed beams add feeling of spaciousness. Insulating sheath ing was used to winterize exterior walls. As result, Stiflers use their house from Easter to Thanksgiving and on occasional midwinter weekends. new kind of life emerges as work hours shorten and bet A ter roads lessen travel time to resort areas. Many families are "getting away from it all" at least two days a week. Last year, more than 75,000 "second homes" were built to meet the growing demands for more relaxation. But vacation houses are no longer just summer weekend homes. Modern insulating materials and heating systems make summer houses comfortable during the cooler months, too. And up-to-date building methods have made it possible to erect simple vacation houses in as little as two weeks. Other ways to increase their use: some owners rent their summer homes for part of the season, or provide them for relatives' use. Still others build them with an eye to the future--as a place to retire. Whatever your motive, you'll look a long time to find a cot tage plan with convenience, space and flexibility equal to that of the Year-round Relaxer. It's small, yet lives so lug. An un usual feature is the optional bunkhouse and second hath wludi can be added to the rear to house a small army of guests.

Ask your dealer to show you other plans. He'll be glad to help you along every step of planning and building. counter talk I'm glad you asked that question about grades of lumber. So many people come in. all confused about what grade lumber they should buy. Actually, grading is a system we use when we order lumber, and construc tion companies use it when they order from us There is no such thing as good or bad lumber. It's only bad when it's used where it wasn't intended. For instance, you should never use unseasoned lumber for joists or studs. On the other hand, there's no need to use clear lumber when a No. 2 or 3 dimension lumber will do just as well. Or, the lumber that's fine for cabinet work is far too expensive for general construc tion. Buying a better grade than the job calls for is just money down the drain. Are the lower grades of lumber just as strong as better grades? Again, that depends. There may or may not be some loss of strength in lower grades of lumber, depending on where you're going to use it. But mostly it's a matter of appearance. Lumber with certain types of knots or checks certainly doesn't look good where it's exposed, but is "just as good" for framing. What's the difference in cost between grades? Well, that depends a lot on geographical location A good rule of thumb is that clear lumber costs about twice as much as the lowest construction grade. We got into quite a discussion, didn't we? But to answer your first question about what grade of lumber to buy, my best advice is to leave that up to us. You tell us what you're going to use the lumber for, and we will sell you the right lumber for the job. You see, our reputation is at stake. We'd like you to come back again, so that's why we give you the best advice we know on all types of building materials. 10 GIVE YOU QUICK, FINISHED WALLS The job is qu;C- , v 1 .iciently done when skilled hands go to work in your home improve"'-- ..''-mer the hands of a professional craftsman or a quali fied homeowner - . . durable walls are one of the better-living benefits that result frc-- ? : ation of versatile gypsum wallboard and proper ap plication.

Sounds great! But our economy would soon come to a disastrous halt if people stopped investing in the future. Remodeling a home is an investment--sometimes a considerable one--but always a safe one. Its dividends: comfort, convenience, room to stretch out and relax or entertain. And when it comes time to sell, there's another dividend--this time in cold cash. Hugh and Marion Cripe, Los Angeles, were like many parents with growing families--they shopped for a new home. Then they took a second look at their present house. True, their old home was "outnumbered" by the five Cripes, but it had tremendous possibilities. They en joyed their pleasant street and neighbors, and Mr. Cripe had no desire to commute to a distant subdivision. After a careful inventory of the shortcomings of their house--tiny baths, too-small dining room, no place to sew, very little storage--they called in Architect Marvin Beck. Soon, remodeling was underway. Did their investment pay off? Well, count the Cripes' dividends on this and next three pages, then decide for yourself! Your Popular Home dealer can start similar dividends coming your way. Before . . . major drawback of former living room was hardto-arrange floor plan for furniture.

Well, Where tile is used hardly, medical bills being what they are. So let's trap the noise! But how? You can buy all kinds of traps, but who ever saw a "noise trap" advertised? You can buy one. It's called an acoustical ceiling. What carpets do for your floors, acoustical materials can do for Acoustical tile is primarily applied to ceilings in homes and commercial establishments. Sometimes it is applied to walls, as in radio stations. But ceiling application is usually adequate in the home. (You might want to use it in a niche around a home office or work center.) your ceilings. There are two common methods for the home handy man to apply acoustical tile. One is by stapling or nail How sound is controlled Before we try to control sound, we must know what it is. Sound, and the motion of water when acted upon by other objects, are quite similar. Who hasn't thrown a pebble into a quiet pool and watched its waves go in ever-widening circles until they touched shore? Watch a bit longer and you see them bounce back. Their size and direction will vary according to the type of shoreline they hit. Sound acts much the same way. If it strikes a smooth, hard surface, much will bounce back. If the sur face is soft and irregular, less sound will bounce back. ing it to wood furring strips nailed to existing ceiling, or by attaching directly to joists. Furring strips should be 12 in. on center. As a rule, the Twin-Tile type is applied at right angles to furring strips. Another way to apply USG Acoustical Tile is by using ad hesive. Butt Bevel tile--12x12in., without flanges--is applied directly to existing ceiling or a base layer of gypsum backing board with mastic cement. That's the principle of an acoustical ceiling, which traps up to 70? of the sound which strikes it. But don't expect miracles. Acoustical materials are de signed to trap noise within a room. Noise that comes from outside the room, through the walls, is only par tially trapped by acoustical ceilings. And people in other rooms benefit only as noise lev el within a room is reduced. Sound transmission through walls is another story. Two U.S.G. products qualify as noise traps-- acoustical ceiling tile and acous tical plaster. First, here's the story on acoustical tile . . . Acoustical plasters The second type of "noise trap" is acoustical plaster. This one requires a plastering contractor. A wide variety of finishes are adaptable for low-cost ceiling treatment. United States Gypsum makes two kinds of acoustical plaster--Red Top Hi-Lite (for hand application) and Audicote (machine or hand applied). Their uniformly textured surfaces add beauty without introducing geo metric patterns. They are particularly adaptable to coves or arches, and the plastering contractor can tint these plasters at time of application.
