SPANISH PATIO HOUSE 
The Spanish settlers contributed the Patio house to Ameri¬ 
can architecture. Many of their houses were what we now 
call * ‘bungalows. ” The Spanish Patio House is another of 
the 16 architectural styles illustrated and discussed in ‘ *Good 
Houses. ” a book for home-builders interested in good de¬ 
sign, efficient planning and thorough construction. “Good 
Houses ’' interpret the architectural styles on which A meri- 
can building tradition rests, and which are adaptable to 
wood construction today. Send for your copy now. 
T HIS is a familiar sight in the thaw¬ 
ing season. A close-up of the house 
would reveal muddy streaks under the 
cornice and on the wall below. Inside 
the water is probably dripping through 
the ceiling or coming in around the 
windows. All due to faulty gutter 
construction. 
The outer edge of the gutter protrudes 
above the extension of the roof line and 
so catches the sliding snow. The thaw 
water backs up under the shingles and 
forces its way into the house. 
The illustration below shows proper 
gutter construction. Note that the 
outer edge of the gutter is below the 
line B, which is the extension of the 
roof line. 
This is one of the many points of 
house construction discussed in detail 
in the Weyerhaeuser book, “The High 
Cost of Cheap Construction,’’ sent free 
on request.

You Can Build 
As Good a Home Today 
As Ever Was Built— 
Find the Contractor who’ll do it 
F ROM the day that a young 
couple marries, the instinct 
to build a home for themselves 
will persist. 
Well-built homes require 
only good materials and intel¬ 
ligent use of them. 
Why, then, in this advanced 
20th Century are there so many 
disappointments—and in conse¬ 
quence so many families stick¬ 
ing to rented compromises? 
What is the cause of constant 
repair bills, excessive heating 
costs, drafts, squeaks and other 
annoyances, little and big? 
Ask any first-class contrac¬ 
tor, any competent authority on 
building, and he will tell you im¬ 
mediately— poor construction. 
Go with him through a home 
that is a disappointment and he 
will explain the skimping hid¬ 
den between walls, between 
floors and ceilings, under foun¬ 
dations. 
G OOD workmen, perhaps, 
will state the casein another 
way—the willingness of owners 
to listen to contractors who 
boast only low figures and with 
a disposition to use methods 
that every honest craftsman 
condemns. 
Every well-built house owes 
its integrity to the honest inten¬ 
tions of a contractor experi¬ 
enced in the principles and 
standards of right construction. 
That is why we say, go to a 
legitimate contractor—one who 
takes pride in his craft and 
would rather deliver a good job 
at a fair profit, than a poor job 
at an unfair profit. 
You will find these men more 
and more using lumber of the 
Weyerhaeuser standard of qual¬ 
ity— trade-marked with the 
manufacturers’ pledge of per¬ 
sonal responsibility. 
T N “The High Cost of Cheap Con- 
-I- struction,” a book which will be 
mailed you on request, you will find 
the essentials of good construction 
necessary to successful house build¬ 
ing; the basis for judging the manner 
in which your house is built; and the 
means of making the lumber you use 
in the construction of your house of 
the greatest possible service. Ask 
also for “Good Houses.” 
Weyerhaeuser Forest Products 
are distributed through the estab¬ 
lished trade channels (to contractors 
and home builders through the re¬ 
tail lumber yards) by the Weyer¬ 
haeuser Sales Company, Spokane*, 
Washington, with branch offices 
and representatives throughout the 
country. 
Each year you will find an in¬ 
creasing number of retail lumber 
dealers recommending Weyerhaeu¬ 
ser lumber for house building—men 
who know the relation to correct 
building practice of properly dried 
lumber, of uniform grades and the 
kinds best suited to your needs.
