Dependability, washability, capacity, and appearance were the critical considerations used in developing a new line of six washers and six dryers, three electric and three gas.

Projects that increase the value of homes are fresh paint jobs inside and out. Don't forget to scrape the gutters and downspouts and give them a new coat of paint. Use neutral or earth tones-don't go off the deep end on way- out colors. Third bedrooms, second baths, family rooms, fireplaces, garages and new kitchens all add value to a home. Usually you'll recover these costs when you sell. Central A/C, fences, swim­ ming pools, rock gardens, heated driveways and walks are costs that are hard to recover. Aluminum storms and screens for windows and doors are a must for the energy conscious public. Also, calking around these areas is helpful i showing lower heating bills. Remember a home is an in­ vestment! If it's going to take a lot to bring it up to what you want, maybe you'd be better off trading up to a larger home.
