Unfolded, there’s a table, stove, counter, food chest and storage shelves for canned goods. The whole project requires only one panel of %-inch exterior type fir plywood and a half panel %-inch thick. Exterior plywood is required because the waterproof glue used in its manufacture protects the kitchen under any moisture conditions. The letters EXT-DFPA stamped or branded on the panel identify ex-» terior plywood. Hand tools will handle every 1 part of the job. - No complicated joinery is called for and the materials list wjth the plans ’ incUides every item needed to e complete the project. i •'?_ * i * New Grilles " Simplify. , Cleaning Keeping windows in top shape is a snap when they are equipped with the new snap-in grilles now available. When windows need washing or painting, these special grilles can be removed from the sash in a few seconds without tools. If the grilles themselves are to be painted, the job can be done with either spray or brush without fear of splattering the glass. This eliminates tedious clean up work. These decorative, work-saving grilles are available pre-installed in windows made of durable ponderosa pine. Wood windows with removable grilles can be obtained in a wide range of stock sizes and styles, including doublehung, casement and sliding. To add variety, rectangular and diamond grille patterns are available. Often, both patterns are used for different windows in the same house. Families who have windows with single panes of glass and who want to achieve the Colonial multi-pane look can buy these grilles separately in either pattern and install them in a few minutes. You’re out of luck, however, if you don’t have wood windows. They’re not made for windows made of other materials.

Dairy roods Make Dandy Dinners w- Hie jolly month of June, with all its brides, graduates, and perfect days so rare, offers a bonus. It Is also Dairy Month-« time to revel in delicious, nutritious food, to try new dairy products and to collect and experiment With new recipes using milk, cheese, yoghurt, cream, sour cream, butter and buttermilk. To take full advantage of the wealth of dairy products available in supermarkets all over the country, you need ample storage space for both fresh and frozen food. That means you probably need one of the new electric re-frigerator-freezers-if you don’t already have one. Although the new combination refrigerator - freezers generally don’t look larger or take up more floor space than the older ones, they hold, far more food, both fresh and frozen, and keep it at top quality much longer. With so much fresh food storage space, plus a generous zerozone freezer section, you can limit your shopping to just once a week. There’ll be plenty of space for half-gallon milk bottles and gallon containers of ice cream. Cheese and butter will be kept at just the right temperature for serving as well as preserving them. And there’ll be room to spare, not only for other dairy products and the rest of your family foods, but for your own home-made dairy-food dishes — main dishes such as macaroni and cheese, cheese and onion pie, and ham and potato chowder, and desserts such as Bavarian cream pie, cheese cake, and custard. If you’re counting calories, you can get lots of nourishment and enjoyment from the low-fat dairy products such as fortified skimmed milk, cottage cheese and the other skimmed milk cheeses, yoghurt, ice milk, and sherbet. If calories don’t count too much, have fun experimenting with heavy cream,ice cream, butler, sour cream and the unlimited varieties of whole milk cheeses. Practical Idea Will Rejuvenate Unused Attic Here’s a fresh attic, remodeling idea—build a dressing roombath adjacent to a bedroom which could be used by older children or guests. Use sliding doors or a folding screen to separate the bathroom area from the bedroom. Include a vanity on one wall of the bathrooom so that the area can actually serve as a dressing room. You might be able to include an attractive skylight in the bathroom area. To continue this “open” feeling in the bathroom decor, alternate white and blue Marlite planks on the walls. These 16”x8’ plastic-finished hardboard planks can be installed ove rold wall or studs. No finishing is necessary. They can be damp-wiped clean. Blue also could be used as the dominant color in the bedroom section. The accent wall here could be finished with Marlite woodgrain planks in One of six high-fidelity wood tones. This attic area would provide a separate living area for a member of the family, visiting relative, or guest. BUTTER SPREADS Butter kept in the special butter conditioner of a new electric refrigerator-freezer stays at spreading softness.

More Insulation Pays Off In Lower Bills Many new homes today are not insulated well enough to provide either optimum comfort or heating and cooling economy. Fortunately, this can be remedied after occupancy. Mineral wool insulation can be blown into exterior walls and attics by a contractor who uses pneumatic equipment. Many families find that savings on heating often pay for the cost of the additional insulation in a few years. Insulating to recom.mended standards also adds to the resale value of the house. An insulating formula established by the National Mineral "Wool Insulation Association calls for home owners to use mineral wool with an installed resistance to heat loss of R-19 in ceilings, R-U ( in walls and R-13 in floors above unheated spaces.

Canned Goods Easy To Store I

Keeping a reasonable supply of canned goods on hand is complicated in some homes because of' , the shortage of suitable cupboard space. Even where room is available, shelves sometimes just aren’t suitable for storing canned goods. A cabinet that makes canned goods as accessible as books in a library has been designed by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association, Tacoma 2, Wash. A free’ plan is available" trom that address. Becuse available space will Touch off Grandeur Given Fireplace Does your fireplace wall need a shot of adrenalin? One Architect decided that a change of depth and pattern was needed to put new life into such a wall. So he designed an interesting hood and, of all things, had it built in wood. The hood was planned in west coast hemlock tongue-and-groove flooring. It extended from mantel line to ceiling, gave a rich elegance to the wall, and it appears to hang suspended, which gives it a special effect. The wood has been finished with clear plastic which accents its rich champagne tones, a natural beauty feature of this wood. Needless to say, the new wall is so unique that it is a constant attraction for guests and is most pleasing to the regular members of the family.
