Before proceeding with
plans for remodeling, how-
ever, the homeowner should
review his basement with a
contractor, architect or
building material dealer to
see if it has the room and
flexibility that is needed.
Changing Exterior
Another point worth con-
sidering is the advisability of
expanding the home im-
provement project to include
some exterior changes along
with the basement remodel-
ing job. This has the advan-
tage of coordinating the ap-
pearance of a basement and
a basement entryway.
Once started, rejuvenat-
ing the appearance of the
basement becomes an easy
accomplishment with the
help of the many vrefinished
building materials available.
Interior paneling and ex-
terior siding in a wide range
of choices can help to create
an individual look and a
family room suitable for ev-
ery purpose and need.
Space-stretching tech-
niques vary with the size and
condition of the basement. In
one old house with a roomy
~a~emevtt, the natural field-
stone stalrwa~ and i~eplace
provided the nucleus for the
"new look."
New Living Areas
Wormy chestnut paneling

hardboard was installed
throughout the room. Vinyl
flooring, posts and beams to
conceal built-in lighting and
a few pieces of Early Ameri-
can furniture completed the
modernization of a now-com-
fortable living area.
Newer homes, while they
lack the rambling basements
of yesteryear, are candidates

Shed Wins Race
For Outer Space
Now that basements have be-
come recreation rooms,and
even two-car garages have no
leit-over space for storage, the
man of the house faces the
problem of where to stow his
carpentry tools and lawn and
garden equipment.
Building Supply News sug-
gests an assembled tool shed
which fits handily in a back
yard area. It's painted, roomy
enough for large bags of fertil-
izer and barbecue stands, and
the inside wails can be lined
with perforated panels which
make a sizable storage wall..
And here's the most versatile, quiet and compact heat
pump ever! Install it in the attic, crawl space or on a slab
outdoors. Automatic coil defroster, suction-cooled
hermetic compressor and special rippled fin construction
add up to efficient operation and long, trouble-free life.
