We commence with the ground plan, {Jig. 23.) 



a a, Stone posts, 

 about six feet long 

 and ten inches 

 square ; these are 

 set into the ground 

 about three feet 

 three inches, leav- 

 ing them two feet 

 nine inches above. 

 They are eight feet 

 apart from centre 

 to centre. On these 

 are placed the sill, 

 b, as shown in fig. 

 24, and the sides 

 are planked to the 

 ground, with the 

 exception of the 

 ventilators, as seen 

 in the same plan,g'. 

 The sills for sup- 

 porting the ends 

 are formed of six 

 inch timbers, and 

 fastened at each 

 end by irons drill- 

 ed into the stone 

 posts. 



b, Posts for sup- 

 porting the cen- 

 tre of the house ; 

 these are fourteen 

 feet high, (placed 

 upon a large flat 

 stone, just beneath 

 the ground,) and 

 are made of plank 

 two inches thick 

 and four inches 

 wide, rounded on 



the edges, and are placed just eight feet apart : on the sides of these are 

 nailed strips of plank, also rounded on the edges, so as to form handsome 

 columns, as well as to afford additional strength,
