Plans for many different
types and sizes of houses are
illustrated in a new publication
of the Texas Agricultural Ex-
tern-ion Serv ice.
Careful, thoughtful plann-
ing prior to building is im-
portant to prevent costly and
inconvenient mistakes, says
M P-663, "House Plans For
Texas'." The booklet outlines
the proper steps in this plann-
ing as determining the family’s
needs, selecting the site, col-
lecting ideas and information
and getting the desired (dans
on paper.
The 44 separate plans in
MP-663 may satisfy the home-
builder as they are or they may-
be used a-- ideas for other
schemes. Th publication ex-
plains that size of the house,
the materials for its construc-
tion, and the proper installa-
tion of utilities is important in
planning the house.
Important points in fitting a
plan to the family's needs arc
given in th, publication. When
selecting the plan, consider
space, the traffic pattern,
equipment, space, and flexibili-
ty, as well a< economy and out-
door planning, it savs.
