By Helen Sellie Home Extension Agent | Need any help in building or ' remodeling your home? If so, ' let us know at once and there is a strong possibility that we can ; plan for a visit at your home with John Campbell, OSC housing spe cialist. to discuss any construction problems you might be having. In building a new home, Jonn recomm, nds that an adequate foundation and structural mem bers of ample strength are an important consideration. Often times the concrete footings that support the center s.ction of the house are und >rsize and therefore overloaded. The average pi.r be- neath the house should be from 2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches squai ■ Schedule for the Coming Week The Chapman home extension unit will meet at the hum? of Mrs. W.

A greater span requires 2 by 10's. There are many reasons for wanting to remodel a horn?. Al though at one time it might have been very satisfactory for you or your parents or even grand-par ents, it might now seem tuc large or too small for your pr . ent family. Probably it was nut well- planned to begin with and now finally you feel that you want to invest in changes that would make it both more attractive as well as more livable and conven ient for you. Even before any planning is begun, important questions must be answered. It will not pay, of course, to make over any luuse that is not sound. Carrying out a thorough remodeling job gen erally takes less mat. rial but more labor than new construction. Usually it is cheaper to build a new house than to completely iv- build an old one. What will ne.ded repairs cost? Look the house over carefully. Check it over from foundation to roof. The foundation may need repairs or joists may need replac ing. If the chimney is in bad condition, it may have to be re built. Holes in the flashings— the metal where sloping roofs join, around chimneys, oi uth« r places where a watertight seal 1« needed—may cause leak . Niw shingles or other roofing mav be needed. Check also the condition of siding, window and door tr-mes and downspouts to see whether they need to be replaced. Is the building in a good loca tion? Th? site my be poorly drained. Can this fault be cor- rected? What will it cost? The house should be on ground high enough not to be under water during heavy rams. The wat.r table should not be so high as to make sewage disposal difficult. Exposure to the full sweet) of THE 1 , i ' I , | | EAGLE, VERNONIA, ORE.

YESTERDAYS FIVE YEARS AGO From The Eagle, Jan. 27, 1949 Action in line with that being carried out on a national scale was taken here early last week by the Vernonia PT A when the group again talked of the cam paign against objectionable com ics, movies and radio programs and took steps to carry on the drive locally.
