Page THE HALTON HILLS HOMESTYLE Saturday September I Storage areas are often overlooked Almost every home some unused area that can with a little- thought be utlized for storage Take for instance the area in the garage over the hood of your car By building a simple floor standing or hanging shelf you can create a good storage area for garden tools and supplies Another area in many garages that is not usually utilized is the area under the pitch of the roof Many people have built very successful storage lofts in their garages and created a sizeable amount of usable square footage However if you do build something yourself be sure to use good solid construction procedures as it is very easy for a great amount of weight to accumulate on a shelf of this type You certainly want it to collapse on the hood of the car Inside the house there are many comers that lend themselves to con version to storage areas In two- storey houses there is often an area under the sloping roof that con be opened up to offer storage for bulky items that are not used on a day to day basis In most cases there is no access to these areas and you will have to cut a small door through from the bedroom Another thing to remember is that in most cases the bedroom walls are insulated and is unhealed Another area in most houses that is wasted is the area under the base ment stairs Although this area is usually only up to high and slopes down to the basement floor it can again provide several valuable square feet of storage area This area can be insulated and made into an excellent wine cellar Because the area is usually situated on an outside wall the insulation will exclude the heat from the basement and keep the area at an even low temperature that is so important in the storage of wine For those who have young children this is an excellent toy storage area with the low headroom no problem to the little people Built in shelves and bins could almost make the area neat Another area that is often overlooked is the space over washers dryers and chest freezers This is an ideal spot to hang dard kitchen cupboard upper units that can be bought at building supply outlets and are easily installed They offer ideal storage areas for hobby and craft items Over the washer the soaps and cleaning products are easily accessible Storage area is where you find it A tour of your home with this in mind may turn up more area than you thought possible RECYCLING It only If we all da our pari Please Remember to Recycle This Newspaper You can take your chances or you can take our guarantee If you like taking chances take a spin with some other real estate companyi At Royal we don take chances with your biggest investment We give you a guarantee in writing Our unique Personal Service Guarantee spells out exactly how we develop a sales plan market your home through our exclusive Home Marketing Its you that counts the most Royal Real Eju Semen Lid Broker Program negotiate the sale and follow up with your legal advisors And if we don live up to our guarantee you have an option to cancel your listing That s the only chance we take But since our people are second to none it s hardly taking a chance at all 170 GUELPH STREET GEORGETOWN Toronto Line 1800 8770173 HOME OF THE WEEK BOB MORROW S0N CARPENTRY LTD KITCHENS BATHROOMS Decks Cciamics Dry wall Additions Doors and Windows CUSTOM CARPENTRY Lie No ARMSTRONG AVE GEORGETOWN Bus 0690 Res KINGSWAY CONTRACTING Commercial Industrial Residential New Construction Renovations Country Loll Available 8785222 For Early Spring Booking AUTO PROPANE RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL GUARANTEED SUPPLY GUARANTEED HOUR SERVICE 8782318 guelph 8227780 I Us To Place Your Ad CALL tmffAM
