 SIX HORSE BARM

(Mansard Roof) 

 16 '0" x 24 '0" - 12' Walls 



These specifications are intended to embrace 

 all material necessary in the erection and completion of 

 the building in all its parts, and to furnish such instruct- 

 ions as appear necessary to give the builder a general idea 

 of the plan. Variations due to different locations 

 and accessibility of lumber markets have been considered 

 and estimates prepared. 



The general plan as regards construction of frame 

 and other vital parts of the structures is to be followed 

 unless permission to deviate from the plans and specificat- 

 ions has been first secured from the District Forester. 

 Deviations of minor consequence, however, to take care 

 of unforeseen local conditions and circumstances may be 

 made by the builder. 



EXCAVATION. 



Excavation for the foundation of the building 

 shall be carried down to solid earth. The bottom of the 

 excavation shall be level and smooth. When necessary to 

 grc.de into unlevel ground for the purpose of providing 

 a level building site, the slopes of the excavations 

 resulting must clear the sides of the building by at 

 least 3 feet. If necessary, provision should be made 

 to prevent earth caving from the embankment from contact- 

 ing with the sills. If foundation posts are of wood, 

 they too should be protected. 



FOUNDATION. 



Do not place foundation blocks or underpinning-
