is making his initial attempt at
building.
Where house of considerable
size is contemplated, the builder
may find it necessary to install
additional foundation posts or
piers through the center of the
building, and the sill construction
should then be duplicated to fur
nish a supporting girder.
= When this is done, the girder
should be. fitted with ledger strips
as described above. and the joists
set in between sill and girder.
Most of the detail for joist setting
and spacing will be found in the
blueprints covering the house.

Simple Methods Found
Best in Construction
OF Small Frame House
By W. Wodsworth Wood

Much of the owner-building
going on throughout the country
suffers from the attempts of the
builder to 60 into complicated
methods of construction. when the
best results can be obtained by
following out the most simple
Of all methods.
After the post or pier founda.
tions of small house have been
set. the first part of the build
ing is the sill. This should be
made UP of two 2 by 8 inch timbers
set on edge. Tapped at the ends,
spiked together solidly with 90
penny nails and then spiked to the
top of the posts with the same size
nails.
II the foundation posts or piers
are properly set and aligned, the
result is basically sound start
for the house. This is a simple
job.
The next step in light frame
house construction is to set the
floor beams or joists inside the
sill. The method is very simple.
A tWo-inch square strip known
as the ledger strip, is nailed along
the lower edge inside of the sill,
and the 2 by 6 floor beams or joists
are laid on edge on the strip and
nailed through into the strip.
Heavy nails are also spiked
through the sill into the ends of
the floor joists. This brings the
top edge of the joists level with
the sill, and the rough floor is
ready to be nailed in place. There
