INDEX

Note.—In this volume, each Section is complete in itself and has a number. This number is printed at the top of every page of the Section in the headline opposite the page number, and to distinguish the Section number from the page number, the Section number is preceded by a section mark (§). In order to find a reference, glance along the inside edges of the headlines until the desired Section number is found, then along the page numbers of that Section until the desired page is found. Thus, to find the reference “Anchors, Screw, §55, p16,” turn to the Section marked §55, and then to page 16 of that Section.

Footnotes:

[1] In place of the mortise turnbuckle any of the following hardware can be used: Casement fasts or locks; Cremorne bolts, locking top, bottom, and center; or, Espagnolette bars, either rim or mortise.

[2] The block F is taken as a triangle. The block G is a semicircle, and its area is found, as will be noticed, by finding the area of a circle and dividing it by 2.

[3] The block F is taken as a triangle. The block G is a semicircle, and its area is found, as will be noticed, by finding the area of a circle and dividing it by 2.

[4] Lengths scaled along center line of walls.

[5] Lengths scaled along center line of walls.

[6] External measurements with no deduction for openings.

[7] Although these are made continuous, to carry the base, or ground sill, independent piers, under the porch columns might be substituted, at a somewhat less cost.

[8] Although these are made continuous, to carry the base, or ground sill, independent piers, under the porch columns might be substituted, at a somewhat less cost.

[9] The walls between the base sill and the water-table are faced with ashlar, which extends around the main walls to the porches, and all porch piers are built of ashlar.

[10] One joist will be left over here, but this cannot easily be helped.

[11] In the attic plan, which shows the lines of the roof, the lines of the dormers are omitted so as to make the important hips and valleys more prominent.

[12] Where studs over 20 feet are required, it is sometimes more economical to use two short studs, inserting a plate over the first-story studs and resting the feet of the second-story studs thereon.

[13] This value would appear high if compared with [Table VI], Estimating and Calculating Quantities, Part 1, but this table represents ideal conditions, where there are no delays, mistakes, legitimate office expenses, nor foreman's time included.

[14] Usually a man can lay more than 700 shingles per day, but the roof under consideration is very much cut up.

[15] The cost of this hemlock is $1 cheaper per thousand than that used in the framing, since shorter lengths may be employed.

[16] The prices given include the cost of labor.

[17] The prices of doors do not include hardware, which item will be found in the hardware bill, but they include putting on the hardware.

[18] This door opens to the balcony.
