However, if your base- ment has an entrance through an upstairs hall- way, a second exit to the outdoors and lots of air cir- culation, it may be a good place to locate your family or recreation room. The Attic The atticis another pos- sible location. However, first make sure your attic can support the weight of a family room. The loca- tion of the stairs to the at- tic is also an important factor. For example, if the stairs are located in a bed- room, it may not be very convenient. The stairs should be quiet and strong enough to handle traffic to and from the new room. The Garage An attached garage is one of the best locations for a family room. It usual- ly has a couple of entranc- es -- one from the drive- way and another that leads directly into the home. And since it is prob- ably isolated from the bed- rooms and other quiet are- as, it won't be as distracting as it would be inother locations. Who is the Room For? When designing a room that will be used by both children and adults, it's best to design it specifical- ly for adults; children tend to adapt more easily than adults. However, if the room will be used primarily by children, don't forget that most youngsters get bored or into trouble if they are left on their own to keep themselves busy. The room should be in a loca- tion where they can be easily supervised. If the room is only meant for members of the family, it should be locat- ed where it can be ac- cessed from main rooms in the house. However, if there is no available space within your home, you might want to consider building a separate pavil- ion. This is often the most preferred type of family room and can cost no more than renovating the base- ment. A separate pavilion should also add value to your home and will be less noisy than having a recre- ational room within your home. However, a pavilion might not be practical if you have small children, because it will be more dif- ficult to supervise their activities, unless you're with them at all times. Getting Started Once you have decided on the location and design of the new room, it's time to think about how to get the job done. If you're con- verting existing space into a family room, there are many things you can do to improve the room. For instance, you may want to add a new window or an extra door, or hide pipes and heating ducts. Unless you're familiar with construction, it's a good idea to get some as- sistance with the structu- ral work. Ideally, you should be able to handle the panel- ling, trim, sanding, paint- ing and varnishing. It's the simplest and least de- manding work to do your- self. In addition, you will not need many tools or much experience. However, if you're going to build a family room ad- dition or a pavilion, you'll probably want profession- als to handle the job. Get quotes from at least three contractors and make sure you choose someone who you feel comfortable dealing with. Either way, before any work begins, make sure you look into the deed re- strictions, zoning ordi- nances and building codes in your area. If all lights are green, your family room should be well worth the time and money you invest in it. After all, it's a room that can be enjoyed by the whole family and should be one of the most comfortable places to spend time during the cooler season. Don't waste this space. Small ads pay!
