NEW BUILDING MATERIAL which has gained widespread popularity since the war is the awning window, fea- tured in this design. These windows point out instead of up and down or sideways as in traditional double-hung and sliding windows, and they swing from the bottom up rather than on the sides as do casement windows. You can leave awning windows open even in a heavy rainstorm. They form a "shelf," prevent entry of water.
The Oakwood is a rectangular-shaped house, designed without expensive offsets to keep building costs down. It has large livable rooms-a separate dining room, three bedrooms, one bath. Appliances and cabinets are lined up on the four walls of the kitchen so there's room for all the new kitchen work-savers such as dishwasher and freezer. Rear door makes the terrace accessible to both kitchen and dining room.
Exterior of the Oakwood is horizontal siding with a deep shadow line that gives it a custom-styled look. The roof is of the hip type and has an asphalt shingle surface. The large overhang of the roof at the front entrance provides all-season protection from the weather.
More and more families are recognizing the value of the garage as a play space for their youngsters when the weather is bad outside. You can easily cover the garage floor with durable paint that re- sists grease and keeps it clean and suitable for play. This garage is 14 feet wide and 25 feet long, four feet wider and five feet longer than most. If you did not care to store your car indoors, you could use windows in place of the garage door and you would have a fine family room
