CONTRACT BUILDING
is SAFEST METHOD
Knowing What House Will Cost
Is Best for Small

When ii comes to the actual build.
ing of home. there are three ways
open for YOU to proceed:
First, by employing d general con-
tractor who assumes entire responsi-
bility for the entire job at a fixed
and aGrecd-upon price. Alterations
and changes cost extra.
Second, by employing day labor
which means employing IA contractor
to supervise the work and supply the
materials and labor. He makes you
a cost charge plus Il percentage or
lump sum for profit If you can af-
ford it this is an excellent way to
build. There is no disposition on the
part of Your builder TO neglect OF
slight any of the details called for
in your plans and specifications. One
disadvantage in day Dor is that YOU
are never sure what your total cost
will be. You can estimate it in a
general way, but nine times out of
ten il viii be larger than you en-
pect- Under such conditions there
is d tendency on the part of owners
to change and alter their plans.
Changes cost money
If you are building u small home
the contract method is perhaps the
best to employ. You know what you
are expected to pay before the work
begins. If you select a reliable build
or you Will get what you pay for.
Third, if your home is small and
consists only of three, four or five
rooms, you may decide that with the
help of a carpenter or two you can
do most of the work yourself. In
this event you will be on the job to
supervise the work and see that your
home is being built to meet your
satisfaction. A surprisingly large num-
ber OF small homes are built in
this way. 1t is what is called the

The cost for installing a heating
system varies in different locations.
but in a general way you will find
hot-air and pipeless furnaces the least
expensive. Steam heating comes next.
Hot-water and the vapor systems cost
the most.
AS an example of comparative cost,
suppose a pipless furnace costs $3.50,
a hot-air system would approximate
$3.50. A steam plant would cost $3.50.
and hot-water or vapor system $475.
These figures suggest proportionate
costs-they do not represent selling
figures.
The upkeep or maintenance cost of
the different kinds of heat varies ac-
cording to climatic conditions. In q
general way, however, a hot-air fur
mace Will burn from a fifth to two
t1thS more fuel than a steam system.
Hot-water should save from tenth
to fifth. while a vapor system
should consume at least quarter
less fuel than steam.
According to these stimates 1t Is
easy to see that though vapor heat
ing systems may cost more to begin
with, they can be maintained at less
fuel cost. or course. you must count
upon the way in which the heating
