CONSTRUCTION OUTLINE

Foundation: Piers made of 8-by-8-by-16-inch block. Top block poured solid and bolts put into place to receive sill.

Flooring: Sills drilled to take bolts and then placed on pier foundation. Tighten bolts. Spike inner width of header to sill. Lay out floor joists and spike them to inner width. Nail down flooring. Install door and window sills and lay sole around outer edge and under partitions.

Wall Framing: Lay out wall sections A and C on the floor. When completed, tip into place and use temporary bracing to hold in vertical position. Frame walls B and D.

Roof: Place roof joists in place and lay roofing boards. Coat roofing boards with asphalt cement. Place a layer of 15-pound roofing felt over. Use cold type of roof mastic and brush over felt. Start laying selvage edge of roofing material at end A. Follow directions on the roll.

Side-wall Finish: Use l-by-6- or l-by-8-inch tongue-and-groove siding nailed at top, bottom, and at herringbone bridging.

Vents, Doors, and Other Openings: Follow details on preceding pages or in special details.

Insulation: Medium- or full-thickness Fiberglas or equivalent stapled between roof joists. Use medium thickness in side walls. Finish interior to suit. Install mechanical and electrical equipment as desired.
