Place girts of the seme size as the 

 studding for backing for the outside skirt parts. 

 (See plan). 



At elevations of 3000 feat and over "brace 

 the studs with 3":<:6 ? ' piece cut into the studs, to 

 such a depth that the outside faces of the "braces are 

 flush with the outside face of the studs. (See Cut 

 No. B. M.-9) 



Place ceiling Joists directly over plates. 

 Kail them "securely to the rafters and nail them to 

 the plate. If the building will be subject to snow 

 load for ceiling joists, give particular care to the 

 selection of good straight grain sticks free frcm 

 knots larger than 1 inch in dic.rr.etor and ct.hei.' imper- 

 fections that V7ould weaken the Ltick. Use fi\rc 20d., 

 v/ire nails for nailing the ceiling joisfc to the raf- 

 ters and two 20d. wire nails to toe nail them to the 

 plate .
