ICE HOUSES AND 



The cover is made of a 2x4-inch frame to both sides of 

 which waterproof paper and matched lumber are nailed. On 

 the under side a frame of ix4-inch material is nailed, and 

 in the space on the inside of it a i-inch sheet of waterproof 

 insulating material is fastened. The entire lower surface 

 of the door, as well as the inside of the box, is covered with 

 galvanized iron or zinc. This cover is quite heavy and 

 should be provided with a counterweight. Three heavy 5- 

 inch hinges should be used and some good clamp provided 

 to seal the cover. 



The ice bunker is made up of 2 x 45 with 2x2 inch 

 cleats for the ice to rest upon and I x 2-inch cleats at the 

 sides beveled so that water will drain off of them readily. 

 A galvanized iron pan is placed below the ice bunker to catch 

 the water from the melting ice. This pan should be pro- 

 vided with a drain pipe on the outer end of which an "L" is 

 placed with its opening upward so that the drain will be 

 sealed at all times.
