as directed. Two or 3-ply composition roofing is used 

 with a layer of tarred felt under the roofing to protect it 

 against the spraying materials. Both the felt and the 

 roofing is run lengthwise of the building. A 1x6 cornice 

 board is run along the front edge of the rafters. 



Water Shed 



The water shed is 5x8 feet, extending outward from 

 the main building between studs at 20-28 feet. The floor 

 is of concrete and two bolts are set in the outer edge of 

 the concrete 18 inches from each outer end to make the 

 front rigid; 2x3 sills are used, 1x3 girths, and three 2x3-6 

 rafters, the rafters being used for the side plates. A piece 

 of 1x3-8 is nailed crosswise of studs 20-28 to support the 

 upper end of the rafters. Four studs, 2x3-6 are used in 

 front, set at 0, 2, 6 and 8 feet, capped with a 2x3-8 plate 

 on which the lower end of the rafters rests. Two doors 

 are swung between studs 2-6, opening outward, an old 

 fashioned bar and socket barn door fastener being used on 

 the outside to hold' the doors closed. The entire front 

 of the water shed, doors and all, is but 5 feet high, leav- 

 ing an opening of 12 inches, to admit light and air, which 

 is covered with 2-inch mesh netting. To catch the wire, 

 the outer boards on each of the doors is left 6 feet 

 long. Two sliding doors, 18x24 inches are used in the 

 sides of the shed close to the front edge. The purpose of 

 these smaller openings is to allow the front doors to b'e 

 kept closed during hot weather, shading the water pots. 

 The sheathing may be either of siding or of tongue and 

 groove stuff. 



JSio door is used between the water shed and the mam 

 building, but a piece of 1x8 is nailed flat against the studs.
