SPECIFICATIONS 



FOR 



BARKS 

 PLAN NO. 2-C 



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 instructions 

 as appear necessary to give the builder a general idea of 

 the plan. Variations due to different locations and access- 

 ibility of lumber markets have been considered end 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 plnns and spscifica- 

 tions has first been 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. V/hen necessary to 

 grade into unlevel ground for the purpose of providing a 

 level building site, the slopes of the excavations result- 

 ing must clear the sides of the building by at least 3 feel 

 If necessary, provision should be made to prevent earth cr\ 

 ing from the embankment from contacting with the sills. If 

 foundation posts are of wood, they too should be protected. 



FOUNDATION. 



Do not place foundation blocks or underpinning 

 further apart than 7 feet on center. Where snow loads are 

 excessive or the ground is not firm, place foundation blocks 

 or underpinning on 4 foot center under all outside sills, on 



-7-
