A square built house plastered on
the outside is shown in this design.
In some sections of the country these
houses are becoming very popular
The idea is not new, in fact 1t dates
back hundreds of years, but 1t has
been recently revived because we have
found out how to use cement to adj
vantage in construction work Of this
kind. The modern outside cement
plaster coat bears no relation to the
old English rough-cast, which used to
peel off in irregular patches and spoil
the appearance of the house for
ever.
Another invention that has a great
deal to do with modern cement plas-
ter work is the different kinds Of ex-
pansion metal lath. Until cement
mortar was troweled onto, and into
sheet metal lath it was impossible to
provide against expansion and con-
traction. 1t is difficult even now to
explain why cement plaster on good
metal lath will dry and hang free OF
cracks when the same mixture spread
on wooden lath will spider-leg in
every direction. But probably the
why is not so important as the fact
that we are only just beginning to UNI
derstand the use Of cement. Human
knowledge comes very slowly. We
often hear some one say that the
Romans knew as much about cement
as we do, but that is nonsense. They
knew how to make a cistern or a
tank and a few other simple things,
but we know more about the general
application OF cement to more kinds
Of important work than the Romans
ever dreamed Of Still we find 1t nee.
essary to hammer out each improve
ment slowly and laboriously with the
