Description:Price 65 cents (printed on title page)The purpose of this publication is to present sound principles for wood-frame house construction and suggestions for selecting suitable materials in a manner that will greatly assist in the construction of a good house even by those without previous construction experience. The three primary essentials for the building of a satisfactory house are (1) an efficient plan, (2) suitable materials, and (3) sound construction. The house may be large or small, elaborate or unpretentious, modern or traditional, yet without all three of these essentials it may be neither permanent nor satisfactory. While designing and planning are beyond the scope of this publication, the information on materials and building practices is intended to guide builders and prospective homeowners in erecting a good house. It can be used as a training aid for apprentices or as a standard by which to judge the quality of the construction of a house. This publication is devoted exclusively to wood-frame construc- tion, and sets forth what are considered to be acceptable practices in assembling and arranging the parts of a well-designed house. While details of construction may vary in different localities, the fundamental principles are the same. This publication deals essentially with established methods of construction, and it does not attempt to show new types that are constantly appearing in various parts of the country. Construction details for houses are given in a series of drawings. These drawings, with accompanying text, show the methods used in assembling the various parts. Additional information on painting, fire protection, and decay prevention is given near the end of this Handbook. All construction requirements as well as species and grades of lumber specified conform as nearly as practicable to Federal Housing Administration minimum property requirements.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
