Be sure to consider your stor-
age needs in any basement re«
modeling project. This is a good
time to provide added storage
as a means of taking the pres-
sure ‘off overcrowded closets in
the house.

A full-size closet, of course,
ig the {deal answer to any stor-
age problem,. However, storage
can take other forms as well,

One, for example, is the con-
sttuetion of a storage bench as
part of a wall-paneling instalta=
tlon, Designed properly, it will
increase your storage facilities
and, at the same time, provide
additional seating capacity.

Working off the vertical 2 x4
studs which support the paneling,
you can frame out your storage
bench with 2 x2 or 2 x4 lumber,
Be sure that its sturdy enough

to hold the weight of two or three: -

persons,

Your storage bench can be al.
most any length, Suggested height
ig 18 Inches, If you bulld the
storage bench along an entire
wall—say, 9 feet—it is best to
divide it {n three 3-foot sections,
with a hinged top of 4" plywood
on each section,

To make the bench even more
funetional,. line the inside with
aromatic red cedar, This wi
enable you to store your house-
hold woolens ‘where they will be.
safe from moth attack,

Cedar lning fs nafled directly
to the storage bench framing. The
lumber material is tongue-and-
grooved for ease of Installation.
Apply it to the three sides,along
the bottom. of the storage bench,
and on the underside of the hing-
ed top,

In applying the. cedar to the
plywood top, ba sure to allow
clearance ta permit proper clos. .

One additional suggestion:
Angle the front of the bench back
slightly, toward the wall to pro-
vide a Ilttle extra foot space.
