Garden Planning Time Is Now. Ijtndscape Architect Advises

Garden planning believe II or not. lx • popular'wintertime sport : tbroughoul moot of lb* nation, llanAscapr gartfonrrs rain Ind la the winter. house bound families start thinking of spring, warm w slhcr and the outdoor* and that Its just what the landscape e*pert* I wan! them to do We like to work on landscaping problem*, one leading west roait landscape architect advise*, when | the family ha» <i<>nr a lot of preliminary planning and when localions of major <>utd*«>r structure* tuch »s garden plot*, fences and ‘deck* have been pretty much agreed upon It makes our basic design problems much easier, he I said. Where does a family start, the Isnd'captng architect was asked’ Start with basics, he said, like fences, patio and deck Installations and gardener’s tool houses Then smaller garden plots, play areas and use areas can be more easily I located. Fence planning is most important. he stak'd Find out what style of fence will fit with your home There are \o many styles: high, j solid board, estate-type fences for maximum privacy: board-on-board or louvered screens for an air-con-ditioned yard: picket; basket weave; or designs with offsetting panels equipped with shelves for potted plants. i Next to deciding on fencing style, he said, settling on the kind of wood is most important. Western red cedar is a favorite wood with most landscape architects, although they sometimes use DougI las fir and redwood. Cedar is resistive to weather and need not be I stained, for it weathers to a beautiful silvery gray, as do the other woods mentioned. Patio deck planning is the next major steap. the architect pointed i out. Locate your deck adjoining the I living room and kitchen, if practical. to save steps when serving food or when moving from Inside to outdoors. Decks come in many sizes, shapes, he said. The most popular deck adjoins the home, is generally an extension of the living room, is comfortably equipped with lounging chairs, and possibly has a fire-place or built-in Jbarbecue,. It is generally built of wood. Because it is tough, durable and resistive to wear, Douglas fir dimension lumber, either 2x4s or |2x6s. make an ideal deck floor, he i said. They should be laid on a solid foundation of heavier fir timbers and the timbers should set on a concrete block to prevent decay. Deck boards can be laid the narrow side up when 2x4s are used and spaced slightly to allow runoff of water, but not far enough apart so a woman's heel will get caught. Some architects build permanent

We hope in this way to keep the children from continually messing up the living room. Can you suggest how to create a main-tenance-free recreation room at low cost? A. The first step is to provide a ' separate entrance from the outI doors to the basement. With this : entrance, your youngsters can come and go without disturbing anyone or anything upstairs. For easy maintenance, cover the steps from the basement to the yard with a steel hatchway. Materials ih the playroom itself should be durable, washable and able to withstand wear and tear. Wood walls < plywood. knotty pine* and a washable tile floor will take a great deal of punishment. Q. The stairs in my home from the first floor to the basement are worn and warped. I am afraid that someone may fall on them and suffer a serious injury. Is there an inexpensive way to replace these stairs, or must I have new ones custom-built? A. A new product available at building supply yards enables any home handyman to build a perfectly accurate set of stairs. This product, called Stairgides and developed by the Bilco Co. of New Haven, Consists of metal forms which can be nailed to the stringers, the sides of the stairs. The forms have regular steps. You simply saw the long wood sides along the steps, and then nail in the steps and you have a product that cannot be improved upon.

Good Lighting Makes Home More Livable Km (tap to think bow N?h *u«f ■<«! light to . and muit-'tout lighting which mak*-» And torn see bow you answer tbe»r key question*: I. Do your rooms have strong tight and dark contrast to them' Bright lights and deep shadows I are districting and hard on the ryes, This subtle discomfort can cause you to become nervous and I ill at ease, even though you arent a*are of tt The remedy’ Plan enough genera) lighting to give pleasant over-all Illumination I You can accomplish it tn a number of ways—one popular way is to use cornices coves, and valances to direct light up or down over broad surface* such as walls or draperies Or you can use luminous ceilings. To have comfortable over-all lighting for all occasions, you can use light brightness controls. 2 Do you have light for specific seeing tasks, like reading and sewing? Be sure you have the right light at the right place for good vision. Lamps are usually best for this, so make sure they’re toll enough and with big light shades to give plenty of light over the whole visual work area —you don't wait to slouch to see. nor do you want distracting shadows in the work areas. 3 Do your lights glare? Wherever possible you should not be aware of the source of the light naked glaring bulbs are uncomfortable: this also applies to cornice, cove, and valance lighting. 4 Can you adjust your lighting to any occasion or mood? Flexibility is the key to interesting lighting - light brightness controls let you vary the light to suit your needs and personality. .For instance, when you have a few guests in your living room, low soft lights provide pleasant comfortable atmosphere: when you re entertaining a larger group, brighter lights—well-distributed — help keep things moving. 5 Do you have all the light you need in the bathroom for applying makeup — can your husbandj easily see to get a good clean shave? Then oan you adjust these lights comfortably low for night time’ , , . 6. Is your lighting planned to bring out the beauty of yottf home? In addition to lighting for mood and comfort, you can do much with decorative lighting — from lighting gardens to highlighting unusual features in your house like prize paintings. T Plywood Popular In Home Workshops Plywood has become the most popular type of material used by home workshop hobbyists, reports the Institute of Home Designers. Unfortunately, not all workshop enthusiasts are able to use this material because they can t get the big pieces into their workshop. If you have an outside entrance to your baesment, however, you will have no difficulty bringing in pieces as large as 4’ wide and 12’ long. Pencil Lubricant The graphite in a lead pencil, rubbed on squeeking parts, will allow freer action, eliminates noises.

In fact, with the latest de- | vclopments in bathroom and proI duct designs, it probably can be | had quite easily in your present home. It’s not out of the question even if you live in an old. one1 bathroom house The trick lies in making full used of all available space. An area under the stairs may be I perfect for an extra powder room on the first floor. A roomy. ! old- fashioned closet upstairs might yield the necessary foot- | age for an extra lavatory, powder room or complete bathroom. I A back hall 'off the kitchen could house -a "mud room" for washing up after work or play in the yard. And. lavatory-dressing tables can be installed right in toe bedrooms. Space Utilisation Don’t forget your present bathroom, either. .Even if it measures as little as 9 x 12 feet, you can transform the area into a one-and-a-half bathroom arrangement or two complete bathrooms. 1 If your bathroom is still smaller, you may increase its usefulness’by adding a fixture or two. The installation of twin lavatories or the small home dental lavatory can go a long way to solving morning and evening bottlenecks in this all-important room. And. by building partitions, you can in- . sure complete privacy, as well as | multiple use of all your bathroom fixtures. If available space measures 10’ x 12’4”, you can install .two complete bathrooms in the most economical of all arrangements—with the toilet, lavatory and bathtub in each room installed against a common wall. This places all six fixtures close to waste and supply pipes, thus lessening the amount of costly piping needed. New Compact Tub If your present bathroom measures 9' x 12’, you may transform it into two complete bathrooms by using the American-Standard Restal in one bathroom. This compact tub, measuring only 38’’ x 39 ” takes no more space than most shower stalls, yet provides combined bath and shower facilities. You may choose a batn-ana-a-half arrangement. Suggested layouts of this type include the partitioning of one tub m a room of its own easily accessible from two powder room areas.

You can buWd these of lumber painted a bright shade to match or contrast with the closet’s interior. Be sure you have a good over-head light though, or you’ll have trouble finding things Storage walls also do yeoman s duty in a bedroom and especially in a child’s room where toys can be thrown into cupboards and drawers that blanket a wall. A wardrobe type closet with shelves and drawers also can help teach a youngster to keep things neat. | and give some though to building a desk into the wall unit. ' Bathrooms are another likely' spot for built-ins. Even in limited space you can usually box in the area under your basin and this will give you a spot to store towels, soap, tissue and brushes and, cleanser. Perhaps you can also put cabinets overhead. This Is a good spot for medicines since children will be less likely to get at them there, but don’t set the cabinets so high that an adult will have trouble reaching them. Os course virtually every room in the house can benefit from builtins. The living room will take on a new attractive personality if you house your radio-phonograph and television set in a storage wall made just for them or built big enough for general storage, books, records and bric-a-brac. The same goes for family room, den or library.
