SPECIFICATIONS 



FOR 



PRIMARY LOOKOUT BUILDING 

 Standard for District 5. 



These specifications are intended to embrace all 

 material necessary in the erection and furnishing of the 

 building in all its parts and to- furnish such instructions 

 as appear necessary to give the builder a general idea o'f 

 the plan. The plan is standardized and must be followed 

 unless the District Forester's permission to deviate from 

 it is secured. 



LOCATION. 



The house should be set square with the cardinal 

 directions, that is, squarely north and south and east and 

 west.

Excavation for the foundation of the building shall 

 be cerried down to solid earth. If practicable, to make 

 the site level it is best to do so. If impracticable, at 

 least provide a level footing 2 r x 2 1 for each foundation 

 block or underpinning footing. 



UNDERPINNING AND FOUNDATION BLOCKS. 

 ~TSee Sheet bT" 



Heights of underpinning needed v.ill depend upon 

 circumstances and conditions at given building site. It 

 is understood that! in many instance to use the mud con- 

 struction as shov;n on Sheet 6 will be impracticable. If 

 so, set underpinning on separate supports or footings.
