Modernizing the home does not nec- essarily mean remodeling the entire dwelling. Many home owners have adopted the plan of remodeling or re-| i finishing one room each year. Others start modernizing their homes first by making the changes most needed and ;hen doing less vital alteration work ater. Perhaps the first year the front porch can be rebuilt, the second year the attic ean be made into an extra room or two, the third year new floors can be laid in the first-floor rooms and so on until :ihe dwelling has been brought up to ate. By spreading the cost of improve- ments over a period of time mapy householders have been able to pay for modernizing operations out of income, In this manner many old homes have been gradually improved until they compare favorably with many newer structures without putting the owner to great immediate expense.
