than three-sixteenths of an inch wide. 

 Wide laps are objectionable. Use either 

 putty or Mastica, as you please; the one 

 you can work easiest. I prefer l^^-inch 

 or 2-inch pipe supports under ridge, but 

 1%-inch is large enough for most purlin 

 posts. The size of the pipe for purlins 

 must vary according to the wind press- 

 ure, the distance between the supporting 

 posts and the size and length of the 

 sashbars. For 2^ -inch sashbars and 

 'posts eight feet apart, 114-ioch purlins 

 are usually heavy enough. I use double 

 pointed glazing staples almost exclu- 

 sively; brads are next best in my juig- 

 ment. 



My preference is for continuous ven- 

 tilators, although I believe that for prac- 

 tical purposes those with one row of 

 glass between are equally good and 

 more easily placed. I would not use two 

 TOWS of glass between the ventilators. 

 There is a decided advantage in setting

Mention The Review when you wnte- 



both wood and iron posts in grout. If 

 the hole is entirely filled and the concrete 

 can entirely surround the post, it is ef- 

 fectively protected from decay, is more 

 substantially anchored and better able to 

 do its work. My preference would be for 

 the well seasoned locust set in grout.
