SPECIFICATIONS 



FOR 

 BARM AND WAGON SHED 



18 '0" x 40'0 IT - 12' Walls 

 1/8 Pitch Roof 



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 accessibility of lumber markets have been 

 considered and estimates prepared accordingly. 



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 

 specifications has first been secured from the District 

 Forester. Deviations of minor consequence, however, to 

 take care of unforeseen local conditions and circum- 

 stances may be made by the builder. 



EXCAVATION. 



Excavation for the foundation of the building 

 shall be carried do\vn to solid earth. If practicable, 

 the surface of the excavation shall be level and smooth. 

 When necessary to grade into anlevel ground for the 

 purpose of providing a level biiilding 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 embank- 

 ment 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. \Vhere snow loads are 

 excessive, or the ground is not firm, place foundation
