The foundation OF both the icehouse
and dairy is of concrete made into one
solid wall extending all the way
around. Above the wall both houses
are built of wood, using studding,
matched boards and drop siding. Next
to the studding is one thickness of
building paper, then matched ceiling
boards are blind-nailed on the inside
and drop-siding is used for the out
side boarding, leaving a hollow dead
air space between. 1t is a mistake to
pack this space with sawdust, be-
cause the sawdust rots down at the
bottom and settles in spots, leaving
holes.
To preserve the ice from melting,
the first attention should be given to
drainage. It is absolutely necessary
that the water should get away from
the bottom. If ice stands in water it
melts away rapidly.
The section drawing shows the man
ner in which the house is constructed
in regard to drainage. The space
