An -old-fashioned Suri porch up -dates 'home for one family There's something to be said for the good old days, even when you're modern - One family, for example; decided to update its home by adding an old-fashioned sun porch. The decision wasn't based on nostalgia, but on the need for a bright, sunny room with multiple year-round uses. First step was to find the right place for expansion.

Next carne -creation of an attractively - updated ver- - sion of a sten parlor. Here. a series of large, sliding, wood sash windows gave just the right effect. Eight 6 -foot -high stock units of ponderosa pine were used to surround the newly - formed "ell." Theo window choice was based on a number of prac- tical reasons. The wide ex- panse of sliding windows provides maximum sunlight, views and excellent ventila- tion. The natural insulation of wood sash, combined with insulating glass and tight weatherstripping, cut heat loss and help keep the -room comfortable in all seasons. Use of insulating glass also eliminates the need for botherorne storm sash. Existing windows in the original exterior wall were replaced with a double door entrance to the new addi- tion. Finally, a new pitched roof was designed to tie in with the existing roof. Finishing touches were added inside. Walls feature - vertical moulding strips, and the, floor is "done" in mat- ", tinsquares. The total im- pression is soft, natural and sunny. Closed against the winter cold, or open to fresh air and sunshine, the new porch is used for dining, enter- taining, reading, studying, and watching TV. Not such an old-fashioned idea after all.
