MODERN GARAGES
TONE WITH GENERAL PLAN A year or two ago, we "were content to house our cars in any kind of a shed. In those days 90 per cent, of cars “retired” to what was nothing more than a shelter. Now it is the fashion either to have your garage attached to your home or semi-detached (says an English -writer). If a lean-to, see that your garage is designed along the lines of your house. If your home shows timber construction, the garage should match it in style, even to the diamond-paned windows. The architectural style of your home need not dictate where your garage goes, however. The contour of your ground, the space available, the amount of money you wish to expend on construction, are the points that decide where the garage should be placed. Remember, though, when planning your new garage, that your oar will be more accessible, easier to heat, and easier to guard, if under the same root as your house, but that you will not be disturbed by noise or petrol fumes if it is quite detached. No matter where your garage is, give it sliding doors, good locks, and two windows, or one -window and a skylight. One word more, the smoother the garage floor, the easier it is to keep clean.
