Increase Value, Attractiveness With Fireplace
. One of the best ways today to increase the value and attractiveness of your home, the experts say, is to build a-backyard fireplace. For $30 or $40 you can have a ot of fun, make your home worth $200 or $300 more, and boy, do those grilled steaks taste good. “I've never enjoyed anything so much in my life,” admits George Fry, who has a stone fireplace in his yard,.built to complement his attractive brick home at 5919
Evanston Ave.
The Frys have an outdoor steakfest about three times a month. And their backyard fire-
place patio is one of the most _
popular places in the neighborhood. “The thing to do is buy a grill unit and then build the fireplace around it,” Mr. Fry said. Grills and ovens are available at most building supply companies.
“The fireplaces are easy to
build and a lot of fun for the entire family—we hate to come in the house,” Mr. Fry laughed. “These backyard fireplaces are a wonderful way to get acquainted with the new neighbors. We fre-
quently invite neighbors over,” he
added. Building supply firms here sell both the grill units and necessary ingredients for the fireplaces, and! will recommend a contractor to do the job for you, if you prefer, not to build it yourself, | With construction of numerous ranch type homes and large pie-| ture windows looking into the rear yard, the patio and fireplace
OUTDOOR COOKS Gearge G. Fry, 5919 Evanston Ave. house guest, George O'Day, can almost taste that steak.

A room created from a front porch should be given the same decorative treatment as the livingroom, to avoid a tacked-on appearance. . A back porch opening off the Kitchen can be converted into’a breakfast room, utility room or other adjunct to kitchen activity bv ‘enclosing the- porch, flooring tile to match the kitchen floor, and finishing it as a complete room. If the porch is enclosed with glass sashes that can be replacéd with screens of the same size in'summer, it will serve admirably as a dining terrace. With the screens, provide awnings or weatherproof shades to protect the interior from the elements.
Wax Your “Shelves, Save Time, Work
Shelf space is a cherished item in the home--until house-clean-ing time arrives. To eliminate extra hours of toil with soap and water, give your shelves a waxing. Such precaution will keep dishes from sticking to oilcloth-covered cupboard shelves, and will prevent staining from spillings of jelly, sugar and syrup. The cupboard, breakfront or china closet in the dining room also will look much brighter for such application. Treasured figurines, china and glassware in living room wall shelves will reflect additional luster, and so will the bookcases. Toy shelves in the nursery will be protected from crayon and water color marks, sticky Tingers and greasy smudges. Medicine cabinet shelves in the | bathroom also need such protection against spilled medicines —— cosmetics.
