Stylish three bedrooms

Plan No. P4-3-170

This three-bedroom plan
for a split-level has tradi-
Uonal styling and good basic
design for a comfortable
family home.

xterior is covered
with horizontal bevelled ce
dar siding in the illustration,
plus brick facing in the cov.
ered front walkway area,
Naturally, aluminum or vinyl
siding could be used with
equal effect.

The windows are flanked :
by ornamental shutters, and
a fancy sereened vent has
been added both for design
and for air circulation in the
roof space.

The singte-door ground
level entry is well lit by glass
panels on both sides of the

door, to take advantage of
natural light. There isa guest
coat closet, and the entry is
closed off from the rest of the
basement area by a door.
On this ground level is
the family room, and a large
unfinished area for future
development, as well as a
washroom and utility area.

The kitchen and nook is
adjacent to the dining room,

Your condensation may have
one of two causes:
1) Leaky Window
If the condensation is between
the panes of glass in double-
glazed units the problem is air
leakage. This can be reduced by
caulking the fixed joints and
weatherstripping all = moving
joints around the inside pane of

completely corrected by replace-

2) Humidity Levels Too High
The moisture or humidity level
in your house may be too high.
Homes today are being insulated
and tightened, which in some
cases, is causing condensation
