There's scarcely q room in
the house, as versatile as .
recreation room.
With polished tile floor it's
ideal for teen-age dances and
parties. Record fans can play
rock II roll to their hearts
content without disturbing
the rest Of the family.
It's great, too. as a tele-
vision room, away from the
rest of the house where
others would rather talk or
read. When Nom and Dad
want to entertain a few cou-
piles for cards or cocktails.
it's also useful.
Finished recreation rooms
or family rooms are provided
in may new homes. Builders
of others thoughtfully lay
out the basement, or install
fireplaces to simplify future
expansion.

How About Wirinq?

First, look ahead. Is your
house adequately wired-for
extra kitchen or laundry
room equipment? 1t might
be necessary to run addi-
tional cable across that base
ment ceiling you wish to
cover and wouldn't want to
disturb.
You will want adequate
outlets in your recreation
room and perhaps recessed
ceiling lights, as we did. Get
a licensed electrician unless
you are in a county which
permits a home owner to do
his own wiring. Then you
must submit a diagram, OBJ
tain a permit and have the
work inspected.
Now start with the ceiling.
We used plain white fiber
tile-not acoustic tile. The
latter costs nearly twice as
much. The difference is in
creased soundproofing.
First step is to string by
2 firing strips across the
ceiling. The tile is secured
to these with wire fasteners
fired into the edges by a de-
vice you can rent where you
buy the tile. Start spacing

Express Yourself

Many contractors are eager
and ready to quote you a
price on q recreation room.
But II there's a do-it-your-
seller in the family, he'll find
it a great medium for self
expression.
For those with a minimum
Of experience, the job need
not be too elaborate. Tiled
floor and ceiling, with the
cinter block walls merely
painted, will serve the pur-
pose.
But a well-f1nished recrea-
ton room may add $1,000 to
the value of your property.
And it can be built for less
than half of that. Still less,
If the owner makes a wise
choice Of materials and
watches the sales.

You Can Build a Recreation Room

a little machine sanding. the
bargain paneling worked fine.
On the fireplace wall we
used a solid paneling, with
benches on each side. Hinged
lids provide storage space.
We made a framework of
2x4s to bring our fireplace
far enough from the chimney
to allow for brickwork. The
bricks we bought used and,
with a little mortar and a
Intel from an iron foundry,
created the right effect.
The mantel itself came
from a junk yard. 1t cost SIS.
With some paint remover and
sanding, it was as good as
new. The pine-paneled walls
were fastened over 1x2 firing
strips nailed to the cinder
block with case-hardened
nails. The joints resulting
from the short lengths on

Ducts Exposed

Since we had plans for a
fireplace, we left the ducts
exposed to furnish radiation.
Our basement was divided by
a cinder block partition, with
an opening to the laundry
and furnace room. A center
chimney projected into the
room we wished to finish.
1t would have been out of
the question to try to install
a real fireplace. So we decided
on an imitation one, with gas
logs for heat.
1t might be wise to men,
ton here that some counties,
like Arlington. require such
devices to be vented. Others
do not. A plumber installed
our gas logs, running a line
through the cinder block par
tition before the walls were
finished.
Pine paneling now runs
from 16 cents a board foot
up. depending on quantity
and quality. We found 500
feet that had weathered in a
yard and bought it for 9
cents a board foot.
The lengths were short.
But we only planned a VAIN
scoting on three walls. With

The question Of heat is
always a problem in a base
ment. Many homes have
furnaces only adequate to
heat the existing space in
the house. You could upset
the whole balance of your
heating system by tapping
into the basement ducts.
Better consult an expert.

we used ours in building our
own recreation room. Here is
how we went about it.
