A Few Don'ts for the Home Builder

as a whole are honest and capable, in
fact 1 find a greater percentage of honest
men among them than among most trades
or professions. Their living depends upon
their reputation for those who seek the
better class OF work; there reputation de-
Ponds upon their standing with the archi-
tect and their standing with the architect
depends on the kind OF work they have
done for previous clients. An architect is
too Jealous Of his reputation to recon-
mend a contractor who will not correctly
interpret his plans and specifications and
give his clients what they have a right to
expect. Workmen will never work as hard
for an inexperienced house builder as they
will for a regular empower or contractor.
For example: / noticed IL carpenter on a
day labor Job rur by the owner of the
building go nearly across IEC house three
times in quick succession to pick up nails
that had slipped away under his hammer.
No foreman or contractor would allow
this for the time he consumed was worth
more than the nails. IT. :he first place,
If he was as attentive to his work as he
ought to have teen, this slipping away Of
nails could no. occur so often. A mason
on the same lob was carrying his own
bricks and sometimes the mortar. 1t
would nave been tar cheaper 10 nave had
a common laborer at 81 20 a day to do this
work instead of paying a man IS a day to
do it. Add to this the fact that no man,
notsa regular contractor, can get the low
est prices on material and you can see why
the average house built by its owner could
have been built better, quicker and at
lower cost by a contractor.
The average house builder does not know
that there is between 100 and 200 different
kinds OF materials. the qualities of which
must be figured up and ordered during the
construction OF the house. Neither does
he know just when these different mater
ials should be ordered in order to have
them delivered when they are needed at
the building. 1t is poor policy to have a
great quantity of material on the premises
at one time. 1t binders the work and the
material suffers the exposure. II you
want to neglect your business. your family
and stay awake nights for six months,
build your own house, but for your own
sake, and for the sake Of your architects
reputation, knowing that you will nave a
better house, l advise you to put all your
eggs in one basket, and have a capable
contractor build your house from properly
drawn plans at an agreed contract price.

The endeavor to maintain a clean tile
floor is a useless waste Of time and energy
II 1t is presumed that such a floor can
be kept clean by an Indifferent application
Of cold water used frequently from a
single bucketful in which the mop is
repeatedly dipped and wrung out.
A good stiff securing brush. plenty Of
hot water, and a liberal supply of scour-
ing soap constitute the essential materials,
and when applied energetically will re-
nov the accumulated dirt from the sur
face of the tiles.

der and scattered literally over a section
OF the floor to be cleaned. Do not take too
large a space at one time. Then with the
brush and clean, boiling hot water, Wig

are apparent. Remove the accumulated dirt
and soapy water and rinse the cleaned
surface with clean, hot water. Never allow
the dirty accumulation to be used over
and over again in applying It to other
portions Of the. floor.
Each time the floor is washed It is not
necessary to resort to the thorough scour-
ing outlined above, but it is absolutely
essential to displace the daily hopping at
frequent intervals with these thorough
scourings il you wish to enjoy the bright

Building Notes

]. S. Stephenson began roofing the Loose
Eviles factory at Twelfth and Davenport
streets last week.
]. II. Stevenson is putting a roof on the
Haarmann Bros. warehouse at Twentieth
and Pierce streets.
For a truly sanitary kitchen four things
are necessary; light, ventilation, open
plumbing, and last, but most important,
because most frequently lacking, nom
absorbent washable floors and walls.
Many hodses in which anything but a tiled
bath room would be regarded as quite out
OF place, still retains kitchens with wooden
floors and walls which are thoroughly
permeated with decaying vegetable and
animal matter; yet as a matter Of santa
ton, It is far more essential to tile the
floors and walls of the kitchen than those
of the bath room. OF course. many people
fail to realize this. because without giving
the matter serious attention. they imagine
that tiles are used on the floor and walls
Of the bath room chiefly because they are
attractive.

with the existing demand for flats and

for the best class, it is strange that no

ment hotels, and while the elevator costs
something to operat,e 1t adds inestimably
to the value because the rents then in
crease the higher the renter goes, whereas
in the three or four story flat buildings
that now obtain exclusively here, the upper
apartments where stairs must be climbed
command a lower rental. On the other
hand, the cost of adding more stories de-
creaseS in proportion. A tall apartment
hotel can therefor be built on a compare
lively small piece of ground.
