Architects
Use Modern
Church Lines
f Many architects and builders
have taken a tip from church de
sign in giving the "cathedral ef
fect" to living rooms in new homes,
: According to a report in a recent
issue of a national trade magazine
for builders. ,
The "cathedral effect" refers to
wo-story or stoiy-and-a-half- living
rooms, usually paneled In choice
hardwood plywoods. Whether the
celling Js slanted or level, the
broad overhead expanse is remi
niscent of a church, as is the nat
ural beauty and dignity of the
hardwood. Often used in larger
split-level homes, the "tali" living
rooms may have a balcony along
one wall for access to bedrooms on
the second level.
The trend is indicative of the
wide variety of effects that can be
achieved with hardwood plywood
wall paneling. Another example is
the accent wall, a- decorative tech
nique that has proven immensely
popular in the past year. At low
cost, a single wall In a living room
or den can be paneled in genuine
hardwood plywood, serving to set
the decorative motif for the entire
room.
Builders have taken to the accent
Wall as a quality feature which
lends individuality to the home in
terior. A typical wall can be pan
eled for anywhere from $35 to $75,
depending on the choice of hard
, wood species. The initial cost is
amortized by the durability and
easy maintenance of the paneling.
; The light-toned woods, often fa
;vored for smaller rooms, are birch,
j maple, natural gum, oak, limba,
ash and elm. The medium and
- darker toned woods, preferred by
i many for larger areas such as
t "cathedral effect" living rooms,
are red oak, walnut, mahogany,
red gum and cherry. .
Wall paneling usually is applied
in 2x4, 3x4 or 4x8 foot panels, one
quarter inch thick. It is available
either unfinished or factory pre
finlshed. Panels can be obtained
which are routed vertically at in
tervals for a random-plank effect.
PLYWOOD PLANK EFFECT
If you want to finish walls with
wood planking, the easiest and
most economical way to achieve
that effect is to install 16-inch wide
hardwood plywood "planks"
4x8 foot panels which are routed
vertically at intervals to simulate
planking.

Patios Should Be Built To
Conform With Lay Of Land
No home should be without one
one patio, at least, that is. No I
matter what section of the country
you live in, there is always some
time during the year when out
door living and entertaining is
pleasant, relaxing and almost a
must."
The section of the country In
which you live and the situation
of your bouse depends a great
deal upon where you should build
a patio. If you want to take ad
vantage of the sun in a cooler
climate the patio should be- in
stalled where it will pick up sun
pockets and stay warm into the
evening hours.
The shady side of the house is
ideal for a patio in a warm, long
summer season. Put your patio
where it will take advantage of
refreshing breezes and be most
comfortable and cool.
In any kind of weather it be
rainy, cool, hot or Just right, It's
hard to beat a raised Douglas fir
deck patio for beauty, economy
and ease of maintenance.
Fir 2x8s may be purchased in
inexpensive grades and laid hori
zontally over the entire patio floor
area, or may be placed in a check
erooard pattern, eight or ten
boards laid perpendicularly to
another series of eight or ten.
The deck is built by laying foun
dation timbers on cement caps or
rocks, making sure that the wood
does not touch the ground. On the
timbers are placed joists or string
ers four feet on center, with the
decking nailed to these. Space the
2x&s a quarter of an inch apart
so, narrow enough so nign
heels do not ca:h, but wide
enough that water may run
through. This way, you neea nev
er sweep your patio a quick
hOFiner will clean it quicKJy ana
circulating air will dry it In a
wink.
Problem sites will lend them
selves to deck patios better than
to any other patio construction
material. A hilly or rocky site
where landscaping is difficult will
be concealed by a deck patio, and
workable wood is easier to use in
this case then anything else.
You can embellish your outdoor
living area with benches built onto
banisters for lounging or reading.
Be sure to slant the backs of the
benches so they will be comfort
able. These, and picnic tables and
benches may be built of fir to
match the decking, but are parti
cularly good If constructed of the
naturally weainer-resisiam west
ern red cedar.
You may choose to stain benches
and banisters to match siding ol
the house, or leave it natural to
weather to soft rustic gray. In
any- ewnt. this patio will take
years of hard wear and blend
beautifully with other materials
used in home construction, and
wood construction gives it an in
door living room graciousness.
