The side truss member run- 

 ning between column and post, 

 is double bolted to the Kuss«t 

 plate. 



This truss joininf? plate holds 

 he four truss members rigidly 

 in exact place. The two bolts 

 prevent any twisting or turn- 

 ing.

The gable purlins are fastened 

 to the gable rafters by double 

 angle knees with double pur- 

 lin bolts. 









"■\riBRATION"; "Give-and-take"; "Come-and-go"; call it what you 

 ' will; its the very thing you don't want in your greenhouse. 



With it, your glass loosens. 



Without it, it doesn't. 



We build the house that doesn't. 



The 2 bolt method is one reason why. You can't make a framing 

 joint of two or more members, and make that joint rigid by using only 

 one bolt on each side of the joint. No matter how tight you screw 

 it up, there will be some "give." 



"Gives" never grow less. 



We are dead against "Gives." 



Every important framing joint or connection in our Iron Frame 

 house, has two bolts on at least one side — sometimes on both. 



Making twice the number of bolt holes costs money. 



Using twice the number of bolts costs more money. 



Which would you rather do: pay less money for less bolt holes 

 and bolts, and have loosened glass? Or pay more and have your glass 

 stay tight? 



Our stay tight way, may cost a bit more to start with; but a lot 

 less to end with. 



The cost of a house is not just what it costs to buy. But what it 

 costs to buy, in addition to what it costs to keep it bought. 



Ever think of it, just that way? 



When you are ready to talk building, say when and where, and 

 we'll be there.
