By DouaIos Tuomey

Among the small items which
are sometimes left out of houses
that are under construction to-
day, we find the essential foun-
dation bolts.
One does not have to be a
building expert, engineer or arch
itect. to realize that there should
be some provision for fastening
the house to the ground upon
which it is built. Nevertheless.
more than so per cent of the
small frame houses being built
do not have these bolts.
A recent inspection of areas,
which have been devastated by
a hurricane, showed that the
houses suffering the greatest
amount of damage were those
which were built without ties
to the foundation. Those which
were properly fitted weathered
the storm.
Firm Tie Needed.
No matter how small a house
or other structure may be, it
should have bolts set in the
foundation and coming up
through the sill. When this is
done, the sill is tied to the foun-
dation in a solid manner and the
! frame of the house which is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1955-03-26

spiked to the sill has a firm con-
nection with the ground.
Bolts should be q half-inch
thick and eight inches long,
and an iron washer dropped over
the end after the sill is set
over them. Then a nut turned
down hard over the washer.
The bolts should be spaced
about two feet from corners
and then at intervals of eight
feet for the average house.
Aside from actually securing
a house to the ground, these
bolts prevent a house shaking
or moving during severe gales.
