Show T!w Hercld-Joum- Pioneer Progress Centennial Edition al FT Want To Build A Home? These are the day when many are thinking seriously about building a home, or considering the possibilities of remodeling. Even though shortages of building material and labor are holding things up, they're going ahead, planning what they'll do eventually, figuring that theres bound to be a time when those plans can become reality. Important Factor Several, Important factors must be considered In any such plans the value to the the cost family . . . planning the location and interior layout . . . when to do the work, etc. It may seem elementary to point out that a careful advance estimate of ail costs should be made. The fact remains, though, that many people whove built a house, or done some remodeling, have .been unhappily surprised at the final total cost. It's well to ask advice from neighbors whove had such work done recently, and, of course, lumber dealers and contractors can help In reaching a fair estimate. Just to oover and developchanges ments, its a good idea to add a small percentage to the final estimate reached. Estimate Your Income As to the amount any family should Invest in building, this naturally varies with individual groups. The economists suggest that an estimate be made of what the net income is likely to be during the next several yeai s , . . possibly from 7 to 10 years. An approximate figure can be reached by estimating the total income, deducting from It the expected expenses, and adding the savings on hand. Incidentally, allowance should be made for the necessary Increase in the cost of Insurance and taxes which will result fiom the building contemplated Another important question to be decided is this: will the money invested In a new or better home contribute mote to the welfare and happiness of the family than If It were spent n eome other way? Such items as clothing, a new car, househald equipment, education, travel and entertainment should be balanced against the building program. people i ... i i f 4 J t t The landscaping of a home wiLl be impioved if garbage cans are kept out of sight.

In most cases this native stone is combined with wood and bra k. a possible increase in the family inoome resulting from this also should be taken into consideration. If you have a home that doesrtt satisfy you, but find that building costs are completely beyond your financial possibilities, youll do well to give serious consideration to renovating or remodeling In this way you ran, perhaps, budge the gap between what you have and what you want Iliin Location Carefully And this brings up the matter of location and anangement.
