Perhaps the best construction for
an ice house is one with a stucco
finish, as shown in the accompanying
Illustration. This stucco is simply two
coats Of Portland cement plaster,
over wood or metal lath. Native lum.
ber may be used. and the studding
covered with rough lumber. over
which is placed the stucco finish.
The sand and gravel for cement work
are usually found on the farm, or
close at hand, which makes the ce-
ment work cheaper than wood. This
house has a composition roof. and a
ventilator built of boards one by two
feet square. The spaces between the
rafters are left open for ventilation.
and the walls are plastered down to
grade line. The dirt should be SO
graded that all water will drain away
from the house.
