Repair Promptly It is important that even minor i repairs be promptly attended to. Failure to do ao may result inj more serious trouble and a muchi bigger repair bill later on.

Pay particular atten-' tion to flashings and to coatings I around vent pipes, chimneys and! other projections H> Check gutters and down- 1 spouts. Make sure that they are not clogged with leaves and other debris. Coat the insides of wooden

guilors with wood preservative and metal gutters with black a»t>halturn. ■3> Inspect the gktoriur wall* of the bouse carefully, If the siding is Uapbnard or shingles wal<-h fi>< cracks or rutted place* Repair promptly to prevent moisture from entering and to keep damage from spreading Replace rutted shin glra <or ionglh of clapboard• with new pieces Check Masonry Walla *4* If the house has brick, stucco or other masonry walls, check for minor cracks, which should immediately be repaired and filled, using either caulking compound or a patching cement 'S' Clwck ar <>und doors and windows to see if repeated freezing and thaw have caused caulking to crack out. Do this as soon as the temperature climbs above SO degree*. Reapply caulking wheri ever nrci-ssary. i®' Check the condition of all cxti'rior painted surfaces Repaint 1 whenever the old coating looks l worn Never let an old paint job I wear ao thin that the surface is no ; longer protected. <7> Give the home heating system its annual tune-up and adjustment. A competent serviceman should be called in to attend to this job. <8» Look so r signs of termite * activity around all foundation | walls, crawl spaces and basement areas. Eliminate all possible connections between the ground and the wooden parts ■ MAN AIDS NATI - RE Man-made lakes are creating thousands of vacation cabin - sites every year.

You Can Move Into This Cabin For S2OOO

Lots of families have hopes of someday building a second home, where they can spend week ends and leisure hours during the warm months. It's the prospect of havmg to lay out a lot of money all at once that holds many of them bock.

Architect Henrik Bull of San Francisco has produced the plan shown here, which takes full advantage of the appearance and design potential of fir plywood, a material that makes building the cabin comparatively simple. And this roomy cabin is plenty livable for only about S2OOO Some of the surfaces are rough and finishing touches can improve the structure a lot. but it's possible to live in and enjoy this house without going to all the expense required to move into a conventionally-built home. 960 Square Feet The design is based on the idea that nothing is easier or more economical to build than a plywood box. Since most people object to the appearance of a box. Bull has designed two rectangular units which are connected with a canvas-covered gable and sun deck. This preserves the economy of the box but eliminates the boxy appearance. The two 16x20-foot shelters face each other across a 16x20-foqot covered deck, providing 960 square feet of indoor and outdoor living space. One of the covered areas is designed for living, the other for early - to - bed fisherman and children to get away from the chatter of late-risers. ~__ _ The house is designed for twostage development. The first stage is a livable, unpainted shelter complete with wiring and plumbing. It was built in the Pacific Northwest for $3239, lus land and septic tank costs. This figure includes labor for the whole job, although much of the work can be done by the owner. Labor came to a|x>ut SI2OO -< Exposure No. PreWem In its unpainted first stage, the house has minimum facilities and furnishings, but includes a frigerator, sink and small count-

er. Most families could use the house this way for years. The unpainted plywood surfaces are exterior type panels and can stand indefinite exposure to the weather. TTus material has a fully waterproof glue line and will not delaminate, but the wood surface, like all wood, is likely to "face check ’ if exposed for many months. The second stage improvements, which totaled SIO6O on the prototype cabin, agaiq including all labor, can be added as the budget permits. Finishing, according to the architect's plans, includes paint, a fireplace, floor tile, deck canvas and sunshades. The plans also take into consideration owners who will want to live in the cabin all year round and use it as a hunting lodge, for instance. Insulation can be easily added to wall and roof construction, but a heat source other than the fireplace must also be installed for maximum comfort. Expandable Design The design is expandable and when built on a properly-chosen site the cabin can grow to the front and back, as your family size and budget indicate. The simple construction method makes addition of a wing an easy task. Studs for all the walls are spaced four feet on center, a system made possible by the wide use of full-size sheets of fir plywood. Thus only one side of the walls needs covering and the interior, when finished, provides an attractive visual pattern. A single Layler of %-inch plywood over the floor framing provides both subfloor and underlayment. Plans Available The enly surface that requires any type of finishing in the first stage is the roof, where 90-pound

Roomy interior offers plenty of living and sleeping space. roll roofing is recommended because of the difficulty in making joints between panels water tight. Complete, easy to follow construction plans for this cabin, including a detailed materials list, are available from the Douglas Fir Plywoood Association, Tacoma 2. Wash. Include 25 cents to cover mailing and handling. Ask for the Parade Second House. A catalog showing other cabin plans is available for 10 cents from the same address. BIG BUSINESS More than 1200 vacation cabins were built in Wisconsin in the first nine months of 1959. a state ■university survey revealed.
