RAFTERS
2 in. × 4 in. or 2 in. × 6 in. depending on size of house and pitch of roof, No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides, spaced 24 in. on centers. The rafters are all carefully laid out and cut in our mill, ready to erect on the job.
STUDDING
2 in. × 4 in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides, all cut to fit; spaced 16 in. on centers. Trebled at corners of outside walls and doubled at sides of door and window openings where extra strength is required. Top plates of all partitions and outside walls are double; single plates at bottom. Side wall plates are notched to receive the studding, a celebrated Bennett feature. It is impossible to set the studding wrong. This is an improvement over the ordinary method of framing. See illustration on opposite page.
WALL SHEATHING
Dressed and matched and cut to fit. This is another important item of Bennett quality. No. 1 Hemlock.
ROOF SHEATHING
1 in. × 4 in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced one side, cut to fit. We furnish this material in quantities to allow for 2-1/4 in. spacing, as is common practice, when shingles are used. In case you decide to use Asphalt Slate Surfaced Roofing, or Asphalt S. S. Shingles, it is necessary to lay the sheathing tightly together. We furnish dressed and matched sheathing for this purpose at a slight additional cost.
PORCH FLOOR JOISTS
2 in. × 6 in. No. 1 Hemlock, surfaced four sides and cut to fit. Spaced 16 in. on centers.
