Engineer Builds 3-Bedroom,
3-Bath Home FOR Himself

: Antther electronics engineer built
his own home in Key Wst at q
considerable saving.
Joseph M. Bringman, Field sta
tion manager for Pennsylvania
State University, is in the process
of completing a 1000 square foot
home on the corner of Florida and
Johnson Streets.
This is the third home Bringman
has built for himself in recent
years.
The present building is or con-
ditioned and has three bedrooms
and three tile baths. One of the
bathrooms has a sunken bath tub.
Bringman designed the house
himself and has constructed all
phases Of the home including the
laying of the IS inch-square type
tile floor.
He stated that he originally laid
out the house so that it could be,
if desired, two family dwelling.
The original plans called for his
mother to have a portion Of the
home. She has since decided not to
come to Key West.
The building permit was for $1s,-
500 which is the minimum price is
sued by the city on their present
policy of average square foot coast
of construction. However, the cost
to Bringman is less than the per-
nit price including the cost of the
land, because he did not count his
labor.
Bringman said that the building
inspectors were most cooperative
during the construction.
The home is built in a lot "a
feet by 88. Construction was de-
layed somewhat when Bringman's
job. took him on an expedition to
Greenland. He works in conjunc-
ton with the Navy's anti-subma-
rine development program.
The home contains two living
rooms, three bedrooms, three
baths, a dining room, a kitchen.
a carport, and a utility room.
1t is constructed of cement block.
Indirect lighting is used through
out the home and all the doors are
OF the sliding type. By closing one
door the home can be separated
into two complete units.
Because the house is built on a
corner, each portion has an en-
trance on a different street.
Bringman has purchased bricks
that were from the old city hall
towern. He intends to use them
to make a patio in the rear of his
new home where he hopes to con-
struct a barbecue pit.
The ceiling of the home is of jun
iper wood with the rafters open.
The inside walls are plastered.
Bringman made all the cabinets.
in the kitchen he even has vent
above the stove to take cooking
doors from the room to the out
side.
The front porch has q cement
poured cantilevered type roof.
Bringman said that he purchased
all his lumber from the Cheeley
Lumber company.
The home is presently about nine
Ity per cent complete. Bringman
said that he viii finish the home
as he gets around to it.
