The material in this building, inciuding lumber and cement, cost only $206.75. 



The building is 18 ft. high to eaves from 

 cellar floor, and 25 ft. to peak. The chim- 

 ney is 29 ft. Jiigh, with 9 x 13-inch flue 

 opening at the cellar floor. I built this build- 

 ing myself, so I cannot give you the cost of 

 labor, as it was done at odd times when I 

 was not busy at beework. The total cost of 

 material was $206.75, as follows: 



Lumber and shingles $103.38 



Cement 64.81 



Nails 3.92 



Gravel 4.95 



Bolts 2.26 



Locks and hinges 1.60 



Hooks 16 



Cedar sticks for overlays 4.75 



Sash, windows 9.08 



Brick 7.40 



Tile 4.50 



Total $206.75 



The walls are six inches thick. Concrete 

 was made by mixing one part of cement to 

 six parts of gravel. _As many stones were 

 put into the forms as possible without hav- 

 ing the stones touch each other or come 

 closer than I/2 inch to the surface of the 

 wall. This accounts for the small amount 

 of cement used. 



The door and window frames in the cel- 

 lar were made of 2 x 6 oak plank, and hem- 

 lock was used for those above the ground. 



The cellar ceiling joists were put in 6^ 

 ft. from the floor, and covered with cheap 

 lumber, one foot of dry sawdust placed on 

 top, then an air space of about one foot, 

 then another set of joists covered with 

 matched flooring. The shop ceiling is 7I/2 

 ft. from the main floor with matched floor- 

 ing above. The hip roof gives a large 

 roomy upstairs for storeroom. The ceiling
