Family room (front of addition) is informal eating area and music and TV room. Note how new addition blends with the existing house. SPACE PROBLEMS? add A ROOM ... OR TWO ... OR THREE Come in for your free booklet on ROOM ADDITIONS hen you have enough space on your lot, there's one big advan Wtage to getting extra space inside by building an addition. You aren't hampered by existing walls and framing. Your only limitations are what to add, how much to add and where to add. The needs of your particular family answer the first two questions. But before you decide where to put on an addition, you have to know whether: 1. It meets local lot line restrictions. Your local building commissioner can tell you over the telephone how close to your lot lines you can build. 2. You can extend your existing heating system or will need separate space heaters. Your home improvement dealer can help you here, if you give him the dimensions of your house and the planned addition, plus the information off the name plate on your furnace or boiler. 3. Your new space is easily accessible from other areas in the house, and will not create traffic patterns that cause new problems. In the early stages of planning, the place to go for help and advice is your lumber dealer. He's seen problems like yours before, and can help you avoid the pitfalls and uncertainty that go with the lack of knowledge and fear with which most homeowners face the prospect of remodeling. Your dealer can stimulate your thinking on planning, steer you to a re liable builder and guide your selection of the best building materials for a successful room addition. a-- 4 Family room part of the addition makes use of the original brick and redwood ex terior of house. Pass-through was formerly a kitchen window. Walls of new addition are all Sheetrock gypsum wallboard. Acoustical ceiling tile covers top half of high wall and all of ceiling to improve the tonal quality of music. New dining room below features ceil ing of Sheetrock gypsum wallboard and recessed lighting for candlelit effect. Mar ble wall is made of chips imported from Italy, set in 4Kx9)i-in. blocks, then attached to metal lath. With proper planning and building products, your addition can be as interesting and practical as this one. HOME or MR. * MRS. KENNETH HAMLIN ARCHITECT: CHARLES C.

The structure is there, ready to finish, and your project can usually be completed economically and at any time of the year. But basement space for living must be dry. If you have a water problem, take care of that first by applying DuraStop compound to control penetration of water through cracks and holes in masonry. Or, with Texolite Dura-Dri compound, protect and decorate walls at the same time. Foundation walls can be finished in other ways, too. The simplest method is to apply furring strips to the walls, then apply wallboard direct to furring. For added insulation, Thermafibeh insulating wool batts can be stapled between furring strips before wallboard is applied. Before ceiling can be finished, light framing (called fur ring) must be built around pipes, ducts and other obstructions that protrude below the underside of joists (see sketch). Once this is done, ceilings may be faced with ceiling tile, with Sheetrock gypsum wallboard, or a combination of wallboard and tile. If your basement room is going to be noisy, you can keep the upstairs quieter by using Baxbord gypsum backing board on the basement ceiling as a base for either Sheetrock or USC ceiling tiles. A smooth concrete floor can be economically glamorized with Texolite floor paint. If you want pattern, you can lay floor tile that is recommended by the manufacturer for below ground use. If your basement floor is uneven, see your build ing materials dealer for advice on how to level it. He is the best-equipped man in your neighborhood to help you with any phase of any home improvement project you might have in mind. His name is on the covers of Popular Home Ideas.

Vinyl flooring is laid in 18-inch checkerboard pattern. Multi-purpose room (right) has home office with desk, file cabinets and storage closet. Large windows give plenty of light, glass doors lead to barbecue patio. It's ideal to have an outside entrance to your basement room. As in this case, excavating may be necessary, but the results are well worth it. HOME OF MR. & MRS.

What can I do wto make it more livable, more attractive, more valuable now and later if I want to sell? Where do I get improvement ideas? Where can I start? Who can help me? How much can I do myself? These are only a few of the questions homeowners ask themselves when they begin to realize that improvements to their home are badly needed. It's wise to first look objectively at your house to see where it fails its duty in providing an attractive, comfortable home for all your family. Remodeling can be practical, stimulating and hard work. If planned properly, it can give you greater satisfaction than most anything you'll ever accomplish. And it can be done economically and without a vast knowledge of construction. Begin with a general budget in mind (see dis cussion on financing, page 19), and a clear idea of what your family needs. Your reasons for remodel ing can usually be boiled down to these: 1. To get more living space of a specific kind 2. To get more storage space 3. To get more use out of existing space 4. To modernize. Consider all the ways these improvements can be made to your house: More living space by add ing a family room, utility room, bedrooms? Build ing a larger living room or kitchen and putting the old space to better use? More storage by building wall-to-wall wardrobes? New walls and ceilings and built-ins to upgrade rooms not nice enough to use to the maximum? Raising an old house to today's comfort standards with new roofing, siding, insula tion, wallboard, paint, windows, doors? Let your imagination soar. Dream and scheme as if you could have what you want regardless of cost. Get all your ideas down on paper. While you dream, search for ideas everywhere that will make your dreams come true. As you think of each specific need, imagine where it will fit into or onto your present house. Look at other houses that have been improved. Thumb through dozens of magazines, even though you think you know exactly what you want. Per haps you won't waver from your original solution, but exposing your mind and eyes and desires to numerous visual experiences will open up new avenues to solving your problems. As you see photographs and plans of favorite rooms or houses in magazines, clip them. Keep a ready reference file--perhaps a folder for different subjects, such as exteriors, interiors, kitchens, at tics, etc., depending on the improvements you need. One suggestion that experienced "home remod elers" have found helpful: include in your pro posed improvement plans some dreams you would like to have come true, even though you don't think you can afford them. You can always elimi nate them if preliminary costs run too high. But you might be pleasantly surprised at how much you can do for just a few dollars extra. a t this point you can follow one of three paths. % You can go to an architect, talk to a building In, contractor or visit your lumber dealer. In You will spend more money if you em ploy an architect, but you'll also get your money's worth, especially if you have a major remodeling in mind. You can hire him to handle the entire job from planning through supervision of construction, usually at a fee based on the final cost of the proj ect. Or you can hire him on an hourly basis for planning help or simply for consultation. He can provide the assurance that your finished remodel ing will be as wonderful as you want it to be. A contractor is an expert at construction, and ^ 14 Ti _ . . 1 . rr/> .................... -C tT. . ___________7 ... *7., O O A A "T A .i is worth his weight in gold as an organizer of the work to be done and coordinator of the men who do it. By looking over your home-drawn plans and the areas you plan to improve, he can tell you what problems he might run into that you hadn't fore seen. He may be able to offer a suggestion or two. But except in rare instances he is not a designer and should not be counted on for planning help. And while he knows building materials, he may push for the materials he prefers to use, rather than those that best satisfy vour tastes and desires. ot too long ago many lumber dealers sold materials primarily to builders, and weren't N particularly interested in your business. Not any more. Your dealer will look out for your interests because he wants your business, not for just one job, but far into the future. After look ing over your plans, he can tell you whether you should see an architect, and can recommend sev eral to choose from. He can tell you the proper time to talk to a contractor, and again can recom mend good men. And no one knows materials better than he does. If you will need financing help, preliminary plans are perhaps all you need at this stage. From them your lumber dealer can make a quick, accu rate estimate of costs and help you arrange a con venient time-payment loan. It is usually easier to get a remodeling loan if improvements increase the desirability of the house in the eyes of other families, too. In other words, adding improvements most people like is the best type of remodeling investment. Eventually you will need final cost estimates and complete remodeling plans that specify by brand name the materials you want to use. These can be made by the man you select to handle the remodeling. Unless your dealer handles the labor, the stand ard procedure is to ask for bids from three reputa ble contractors, and accept the lowest bid that meets your specifications. From here on, the efficiency and quality of the modernization to be done will be in direct relation to the care with which you have selected those supervising the job. Remember that your building materials dealer can be of inestimable help through out the job. Consult him whenever needed. continued 1 You're bubbling over with home ideas, but before you get started you develop fears about cost. . . labor ... where to begin .. . well, perk up!

Type of improvements needed 2. Size of the project 3. Materials selected 4. Time job must be completed. The first two factors will determine to a great extent how much help you will need in the begin ning, or planning, stage. If your project is major, you will need professional help from start to finish --unless you're more experienced than most. The last two factors--selection of materials and the job deadline--will greatly influence how much you can do in the finishing stage of the project. If you're in no hurry to finish and if you select the doit-yourself type of materials, you can save a great deal of expense in home modernization. Here is a list of materials that you may want to consider applying yourself. If you don't have the proper tools, you can rent them at minimum cost from most dealers: Simplest (require minimum knowledge and instruction) USG insulating sheathing--super strength, cor ner-brace or regular--all types require only a ham mer and saw. Thermafiber pouring wool--no tools required, although a small rake will help to level off the layer of wool. Thermafiber insulating batts -- applied with a stapling gun or hammer and nails. You will also need a serrated knife (a bread knife will do) for cutting. Baxbord backing board for double wall construc tion--you'll need only a hammer and a wallboard cutting tool. Duron hardboard and underlayment -- can be sawed and nailed just like wood. Woodgrained Sheetrock gypsum wallboard -- you'll need a wallboard knife and a plastic-headed hammer. Colored nails that match the color of wallboard are available from your lumber dealer. USG insulating tile and Quietone acoustical tile --if applied with adhesive, you will need a sharp utility knife and a putty knife; if applied with staples, you need only a stapling gun. Texolite floor paint--applied with brush or roller. Requires little preparation beyond a clean floor. More difficult (require some skill and care in application) Vinyl-coated Sheetrock gypsum wallboard -- as long as you have little fitting around such wall inter ruptions as doors and windows, this product is easy to apply with nails or adhesive. But because you have no way of covering up mistakes, its application takes considerable care. Plain Sheetrock gypsum wallboard with finished joints--wallboard itself is easy to apply; you need a hammer, wallboard nails and a cutting tool. Joint finishing is easy, too, once you develop the knack of it. But you must work carefully, because your care lessness is in plain sight when the job is done. To apply Perf-A-Tape joint reinforcement, your only tool is a broadknife with which to spread Perf-ATape joint compound. Kleentone acoustical tile--no more difficult to apply than other ceiling tile, but does require con siderable care in cutting to fit around light fixtures and around the edges of the ceiling. USG roofing shingles--a hammer and a roofer's knife are the tools needed. The work isn't com plicated, but you have to know what you're doing to assure watertightness at ridges and in valleys. Also, if your roof is steep, you will need to build scaffold ing or a platform to work from. USG louvers -- because you will have to cut through an existing wall, roof or eave (depending on the ventilating louvers you select), you need to be a fairly good carpenter to install louvers. Tools re quired are a drill, keyhole saw, crosscut saw and hammer. To install louvers in the roof, you'll need a roofer's knife and a spreader for applying Super- Tite roofing compound to seal joints against weather. Texolite vinyl exterior and Grand Prize paints. Few amateur painters are as good as they think they are. Painting looks easy, and is easy if you do it right. But a good paint job takes hours of careful preparation of existing surfaces, and considerable care in application. ISot for the amateur Red Top plaster--plastering is a job that requires special tools not readily available to the non-pro fessional, and an ability that can't be acquired over night. If you've tried to do any plastering, you'll know why it isn't a do-it-yourself project. USG roll roofing--for the flat and near-flat roof, roll roofing is applied either with hot tar mopped on or cold mastic. Tar requires special equipment. Glatex siding--goes on easily and rapidly once you get the first course in place, but that course must be absolutely straight if you are to get a good-look ing result. Your tools are a hammer and a level. If you want to know more about application of materials before you decide what you can do, ask your dealer for a copy of his free booklet, "How to Complete Your Remodeling Project." It is full of drawings and photographs showing in detail how to apply the most common home improvement mate rials. It may give you go-ahead confidence. continued 1. Gypsum wallboard of all types can be shaped to fit simply by scoring the surface and snapping the board. It breaks cleanly. 2. Ceiling tile goes up quickly with either staples or adhesive. You can improve a room's comfort and appearance between breakfast and lunch. 3. Paint can dress up a room more quickly than anything else. But without proper preparation the effect won't last very long. BQ007 0734 17 _*,.=it ~`-- >>*_ --*; _ ' .&**" ~'**i . f;; ;\vyf~U-w-s-*****^^ ,` 'Jji'y'* ?

The sooner your modernization is com pleted, the sooner you'll be able to enjoy its benefits. And the younger you'll be when the loan is repaid. Money invested wisely in im provements that appreciate is worth more than dollars that may lose purchasing value. Credit is a wonderful tool, as any business man will testify. And you, as the homeowner, are a businessman, too, with varied management re sponsibilities. Credit not only helps you buy the things you need but helps business In gen eral, which helps you, too. Where can you get a loan? Lots of places. You may have to look no further than the lumber dealer named on the covers of this magazine. He can help you ar range financing--just one more service he offers as home improvement headquarters. Here nr>' other possibilities: FHA-insured home improvement loans are available under both Title I and Section 203K. Under Title I, maximum loan is $3,500, maxi mum term 5 years. Section 203K extends both these maximums, but availability is limited and other limitations are rather stringent. Federal Savings ir Loan Associations can make home improvement loans insured by FHA under its home improvement program without the loans being secured by first liens. National Banks are authorized to make home improvement loans insured by FHA under its new home improvement loan program. Farmers Home Administration is authorized to make 100% home-purchase and fix-up loans directly to residents of rural areas and towns with populations of 2,500 or less at 4% interest. Eligibility rates are liberal. Applicants need not be farmers. In addition, liberalized rural hous ing loans are available for construction, repair and remodeling of dwellings and farm buildings. Unless yours is a major home improvement project, it may take less time and trouble to get a personal loan from a loan company. However, the high interest rate for a short-term personal loan may cost you more in the long run. It may be to your advantage as a homeowner to obtain an "open-end" loan, if your mortgage has a clause which lets you reborrow any sum up to the amount of your paid-up principal. Such a loan is at the same interest rate as your original mortgage and has no large closing cost. You can repay the money either by increasing your payments or by extending your present payments. You may be able to convert your mortgage to include the open-end provision if it does not already include it. There are many good sources of credit in your area. But discuss your financing problems with your Home Ideas lumber dealer first. He may be able to offer you the best deal of all.
