because it wastes materials and
labor time"
THE anly true economy in
home building" he observes, "is
to use a plan that will produce
more house for less money. Such
a plan is so carefully figured and
detailed that stock sizes of mate
rials can be used with a mini
mum of cutting and fitting and
waste ends; and plumbing, heat
ing. lighting and appliances can
be moved in and erected without
delays or alterations"
The authors practices COM
mand attention. His specifica-
tions of joists in length as they
come from the mill result in
many room widths 11'4", 13'4",
ETC., instead Of arbitrary even
number measurements. Such
room widths allow for wall bear
ings on each end of IL or ii
foot standard-length joists.
And this brings up the prob
lem of judging room sizes on
floor plans. Read room sizes
on plans very carefully and then
compare them with something
you are familiar with-a 9-by-
IL rug, or the size of an equiva-
lent room you are using now.
\ \ X X
The number of bedrooms can
be even more important than
their size. Great space is not
needed for sleeping, but the
value Of your house will be de-
termined on how it appeals to,
others-to average families.
A two-bedroom house looks
f1ne as a honeymoon cottage, or
is fine for retirement cottage,
Evening star., 1953-06-06

but growing families of boys and
girls are sure to need more than
two bedrooms.
Since World War II, some four
million families bought two-bed-
room houses. Their problem is
now so great that the National
Association of Home Builders is
studying ways and means for
trade-in arrangements to make
it easier for those families to
buy larger homes.
An expansion attic can be
economical. To add a wing to
a one-story house, involving
foundation, roof and three out

economical operation.
So keep this in mind when
judging your blueprint.
