Sills at corner should be halved together. When 

 two or more pieces are necessary to form the total length 

 of sill a splice should be made on the foundation supports, 

 as indicated on the plan (see Cut No. B.M.-9). 



Two or more joints should not occur on the same 

 line of foundation posts. Arrange to have the splices made 

 over foundation posts of different sets. 



FLOOR JOISTS. STUDDING. BRIDGING. ETC. 



Floor joists should be of selected sticks, straight 

 grain and free from all knots larger than 1 inch in diameter; 

 1st choice being Douglas fir, 2nd choice white fir, 3rd 

 choice yellow pine. Studding, headers, trimmers, plates, 

 etc., may be of any straight grain material free from loose 

 knots and knots which materially weaken the stick. Lay 

 floor joists directly upon the sills. Where two joists form 

 the span, use the lap joint; in all cases place the bw of 

 the joists up. Place solid 2" x 6" bridging at the ends of 

 each joist. 



Corner studs should be 4" x 4", The plan indicates 

 methods of placing studs. 



Headers over window openings and door openings 

 should be double. If shingle siding is use* double trimmers 

 als. 



Girts of 2" x 4" scantling should be placed hori- 

 zontally in all outside walls midway between the top and 

 bottom plates 



Place upper floor jtist on a 1" x 6" ribbon set 

 into the studs at the elevation shown in the plan. The out- 

 side of the ribbsn should be flush with the edge of the studi 

 Spike the joists to the studs with 3 - 20d. wire nails. 



ROOF. 



Materials for roofs of different pitches are pro- 

 vided in the list. Use within the respective ranges of 

 elevations the roofs of stated pitches.
