MATERIALS. 



All structure! material should conform as closely 

 as possible to the specifications given in the builder's 

 list and lumber order list. That minor deviations must 

 sometimes be made is recognized as unavoidable. 



SILLS, 



Should preferably be of cedar or redwood. Douglas 

 fir may be used as a second choice. 



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. BTC. 



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 bow 

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

 of each joist. 



Floor joists shall be placed under cooler and porch. 

 The woodshed section shall be without floor. 



Corner studs should be 3 - 2" x 4" spiked together. 

 The plan indicates methods of placing studs. Make the corner 

 post of 2" x 4" spiked together. Assemble the posts before 

 installing them. 





Toe nail the studs to the sill and spike the floor 

 joist to the studs or vice versa.
