Case Hardware Company TRENTON, GEORGIA New Home of Crisps on Sand Mountain Is Monument to Self-Determination When the do-it-yourself began sweeping the country few years back it hit to some degree. Others it 'harder and some it engulfed. And at least one Sand tain couple was caught up the trend and for about years have been busy with ido-it-yiurself project. Their ward: A lovely new home. The Boyd Crisps of Route Trenton, just east of the Gap, have a modern thoihe, perched on a two plot just above a rock overlooking the valley. A n d while they’re finishing touches to some now, the living room is still a hull and the den and are not even started. Mrs. Crisp has become expert with a paint brush, laying and '‘bossing” ition. Mr. Crisp and his j. D. Crisp, have done neavy work | First the house was built | oak timbers, including j so that the walls are a good thicker than average and I ,for a stronger house, 'soundproofing and better insul- I atom Then the outside i covered with aluminum, ; the appearance of broad wooden ' clapboards. Inside, the rough j lumber was covered with sheet- jrock. There are three bedrooms, a big living area, two baths and a i kitchen. In addition there are t hree walk-in closets, smaller ones. Why all the closet space? Crisp says for years they lived in apartments and with cubbyhole closets and to hang clothes behind All her closets are cedar-lined. In the kitchen, she has vinyl floor covering, which installed. The same type of ering is in the halls and bedroom. The other have hardwood floors and living room also will have hard¬ wood. Tiie kitchen sink is a stainless model, surrounded oirch cabinets. The house is heated with butane floor furnace. Out back of the house is yard area and [split-level terrace where Crisps will enjoy cook-outs ‘just sitting. From that 'there is a sweeping view of valley and Lookout Mountain Hr. Crisp works in Chattan¬ ooga 40 hous a week—but puts in a good deal more than that in the house. Mrs. Crisp says many and relatives discouraged her from building at that location, but she was strong-willed and went right on planning. “This location is just wonder- iui, she says, “We’ve got fine roads, a fine school, fine neigh¬ bors. We are just delighted to be up here.” “ OUR SOIL ★ OUR STRENGTH = Now is a good time to begin thinking about building water¬ ways and terracing. This work must be done before planting time, so the sooner started the better. Almost every upland iield needs terraces If it is to be cultivated without damage. Sometimes it is hard to see that any damage is being done until too late to save much topsoil. Until water stops running down- 'nill, any untreated cultivated field is going to lose Its most valuable part. Parallel terraces have been often discussed in farm maga¬ zines and are being widely used m South and Middle Georgia, and i see no reason why they wouldn't work on most of our f ields. Col. Morrison plans to try some on Lookut Mountain. Per- naps you would like to try a ,ew, too? Mi. b. R. Davidson, New Home, tmioned a nice pond a few days ago. With a few more good rains ne will be ready for some fish— /vnich should be in any day now. be and Mr. J. D. Crisp have done -v very good job of getting grass started on their new dams. They Lave touna that this is much better done as soon as con¬ struction is finished, and the re¬ sults have proved them right. For the finest in ... .
