Patio into Outdoors Living Room is Easy REMOVES ODOR A new toilet has been pro­ duced which completely re­ moves bathroom odor. Built- in device exhausts odors directly into the standard waste-pipe system. No special connections are needed. The trend toward outdoor living has led to development of a prefabricated screen room that makes it possible for a homeowner to trans­ form a patio into an outdoor living room in one day. The unit has an aluminum frame with aqua fiber glass screening and incorporates features designed to simplify Installation. A newly designed scissors- type gable system allows the homeowner to compensate for variance in the pitch of the patio roof. Top and bot­ tom U-channel expanders, used to fasten the screen's panels to the patio roof and floor, also are designed to accommodate variances of up to three inches of patio floor pitch. Roof panels on the room slide together and interlock without nuts, bolts or clips. The roof also includes built- in gutter and reinforcing corner supports. All materials necessary for assembling the screen room -- hardware, base channels for attachment to the patio and roof rail for mounting against the wall of the house -- are included In the kit. Aluminum-framed vinyl storm panels may be used on the screen room for year- round use. Designed for homeowners who desire the pleasures of outdoor living plus the pro­ tection of being indoors, the screen room is available at most Sears, Roebuck and Co. stores and through the com­ pany's home improvement catalog. PERSONAL LUXURY An authentic Turkish steam bath in your own home is now possible. This steam- bath generator is about the size of a medicine cabinet. NewKitchens Wanted By Most Women It is true that kitchen plan­ ning has in recent years de­ veloped into a sophisticated science, but the basic ingre­ dient is common sense. How often have you seen a refrigerator placed next to the range? Even with today's improved refrigerator insula­ tion, that close proximity to a heat source will tax the re­ frigerator's performance. Equally wrong is placement of the refrigerator directly across from the range, es­ pecially where only a narrow corridor of working area exists. Counter Space How many times have you seen kitchens without any counter space provided to the immediate right or left of the ovens? The unfortunate homemaker who cooks a roast In that kitchen has to carry it at least several feet before she can put it down. Remember, the eye level oven doesn't provide the pull down door of the free standing range. If you are remodeling an older kitchen of the spacious variety, you may want to con­ sider butcher-block working islands for the center of your kitchen floor. Combined with over-head displays of kitchen utensils and knives, they pro­ vide attractive focal points. Recent surveys show that most families start improving their homes by modernizing their kitchens. This is only natural because the kitchen is where most of the home work and a lot of the home living is done. Asked what they want most in a kitchen, It's always a good Idea to keep a few extra tiles on hand for replacement purposes lat­ er on. However, if you end up with more tiles than you need, don't throw them away. Self-adhering floor tile is wonderful for resurfacing shelves, countertops, and small tables.
