Much of tbs lumber In old houses
Is as sound as the day it was install
ed, and, in fact, frequently w ill be
found to be a better construction
m aterial than when it was first used.
This is because of its years of sea
soning. Many architects and build-
era prefer this old lumber to new un
seasoned material aud use it for the
most exacting purposes in
apart
ments and other buildings.
Owners of old houses, therefore,
have an assured value In th eir homes
which it w ill pay them to make the
most of.
Homes of this type de
mand only the assistance of compe
tent designers and mechanics to alter
them and transform them into mod
ern, livable homes, and thia can be
accomplished a t a cost that w ill more
than repay the investment made.
Many times a simple change in the
root line w ill completely alter the
exterior appearance. The lines can
be changed and new western red
shingles put rig h t on over the old
roof w ithout additional Insulation re
sulting. W ith the old roof s till in
place work of this kind can be car
rled on w ithout possibility of a
sudden shower damaging the inter
ior.
Space now occupied by large porch
es, which are little used In this day,
could well be torn away or trans
formed Into auq parlors, dens, lib
raries, nooks or other rooms. In te r
ior partitions can be arranged to per
m it of greater conveniences, ceil
ings lowered, windows changed and
the untintshed attic transformed Into
rooms. Many large, old fashioned
kitchens have ample room for a
breakfast nook or dining
alcove.
There are numerous m inor changes
th at skilled architects and builders
can suggest in both exterior and In
terlor, that w ill add to the attract
Iveness and convenience of a home.
Local lumber dealers can supply
helpful suggestions to owners of old
homes and recommend home design
ers and builders to do the modern
izing work.
