(b) Rustic, drop or bevel siding of "C' r Grade Cali- 

 fornia material or No. & Grade Oregon. Nail siding with 

 2 - 8d. wire nails at each stud. 



(c) Star A Star red cedar shingles placed 5 inches to 

 weather on 1" x 4"' sheeting on 8" centers. Nail shingles 

 with 3d. fine galvanized nails. 



In placing sheeting for shingle walls cut back 

 the sheeting the width of the door and window casing. Be- 

 fore placing sheeting study the Detail 6-D showing door and 

 window frames where shingles are used. 



Before placing siding above the water table insert 

 30 gauge galvanized iron flashing over the water table and 

 against the studs. Place the siding over the flashing. 

 Also flash over each window frame and exposed doorf frame". 



PORCH AND STEP'S. 



The size of the porch is limited by the statutory 

 cost limitation of $650.- For good reasons living quarters 

 were planned so as to get the maximum of the essentials of 

 housing within the $650 limit. In some localities where 

 lumber is cheaper then $25 per thousand for common material 

 and $35 for finished material, and where hauling charges 

 will be less than $75, a porch of greater dimensions than 

 that of the plan may be constructed. The builder, after 

 applying prices to the material list, and after taking into 

 account the cost of hauling, will be in a position to know 

 how far he can go in way of providing porch space and style 

 of porch. In every case the estimate of material for 

 porches not shown in plan will have to be prepared by the 

 builder. If a new estimate is prepared do not order the 

 material for porches that is included in the material lists , 

 Where sfcowfall is heavy porches with flat roofs must not be 

 constructed. Wh-ere sAiowfall is a factor of danger, a wide 

 porch with simple overhead beams of 4" x 6" on 3 1 centers 

 are most appropriate. In no case make.ya roof flatter than 

 1/4 pitch or a slope of 3 inches in every foot of horizontal 

 run. Do not use rafters smaller than 2" x 4". To assure 

 proper drainage in all cases give porch floors a slope of 

 1/4" per foot of run.
