MORE THAN $2 BILLION is expected to be speitt this year by homeowners on add-a-room projects. At -tin average cost of $2,400, it's still cheaper than moving. Whether you plan to do-it-yourself or hire a professional contractor, using Mod 24 construction methods, which call for spacing the studs at 24 inches on center instead of 16 inches, can substantially reduce labor and material costs.

Put your money in hot water Many . people are un-aware that the water heat-. er is the second or third largest user Of energy in the home, after the fur-nace and kitchen range, or gas incinerator, if there is one. The homeowner con-templating installation of a new water heater would be well advised to consider one that has its own en-ergy 'source, according to the, 'National Home Im-provement Council, be-cause it is more economi-cal since the main furnace can be turned off in sum-mer. It is also more effi-cient in terms of fuel con-sumption. Where utilities have es-tablished special rates for off-hour heating, electrie water heaters have begun to enjoy a certain popu-larity. Water is heated during off-peak hours and stored for later use in in-sulated tanks. • "
Gas water heaters come
in a wide range of sizes
and types, and are built to
resist water corrosion. All
types feature the fast "re-
covery" of gas which per-
mits them to serve sever-
al bathroon as well as
kitchen app 'antes:
Some models have con-
trols which automatically
vary'the heating 'flame to
the household demands
for hot water.

"Spacing" needed
Mod 24 calls for spacing
the 2 x 4 floOr joists, wall
studs and roof tiusses
that comprise the wood
• framing at 24 inches on
center instead of the time-
honored 16 inches. With
Mod 24, less labor, time
and lumber are used. Bpt
the framing is entirely
adequate in strength.
Another point to con-
About one million Amer-ican families are expected to add rooms to their
homes this year at a cost
in excess of $2 billion. s.
Adding a room costs
$2,400 on the average. If
you are one of those mil-
lion considering such, a
project, remember that it
will probably cost a good
deal more to have the
work done by a' profes-
sional. On the other hand,
a do-it-yourselfer can
shave quite a bit from the
average price — in the
cost of labor alone.
Whichever route you
choose, plan the project
carefully. The Western
Wood Products Association
suggests you consider Mod
24 construction techniques,
whether you plan to hire
a contractor or to do the
work yourself.

skier is the grade of fram-ing lumber that will be used. Since the framing is
going to be inside the walls
where no one can see it,
appearance isn't a faCtor.
Look into the possibility
of using less expensive
2 x 4s of western wood
that wil1 still. -produce,
structurally sound fram-
ing acceptable to the FHA
and VA when used in ac-
cordance with the FHA's
Minimum Property Stand-
ards.
Cutting costs
The Mod 24 system has
other cost-cutting advan-
tages. When windows are
designed to fit the modules
of the system, use of jack
studs and cripples is re-
duced..To facilitate insu-
lating, the industry has
devised '24-inch wide 'in-
sulation buttS that 'fit
snugly between the fram-
ing members. Or if you
use blown-in insulation,
there are less cavities to
fill.
Whether' you decide to
do-it-yourself or hire a
contractor, using the var-
ious grades of western
framing lumber in con-
' junction with Mod 24 will
assure you of a room add!-
, ton that is 'well built at
a lower cost.
