set, and have nailed the arms in place before 

 raising them. The amateur, however, will 

 find it best to put them in place after the 

 posts are up, or at least to put up a trial post 

 and then make the others after it as a pattern. 



The next step is to nail on the purlin, and 

 then it is ready for the sash bars, which are 

 spaced carefully so that the distance from 

 rabbet to rabbet is about one-eight-inch 

 greater than the width of the glass. This 

 can best be accomplished by using a board 

 about one-eight-inch wider than the glass, 

 and nailing the bars so that the rabbets fit 

 snugly against it along their whole length. 

 The board can then be removed and used to 

 space the next, and so on. 



The side and end posts are next boarded 

 up to the required height, using two layers 

 of matched lumber with paper between. The 

 bottom board, at least, must be of best qual- 

 ity pecky cypress to guard against decay. 

 Glazing bars may now be fitted along the 

 sides between the eave plate and the glazing 

 sill, and between the glazing sill and the 

 gable rafters. - Corner bars are placed at 

 each corner.
