Hints on Homebuilding with
Sound Construction
Planning a Home is Popular
Pastime—Anywhere—
Anytime.
Flanning'a home is a popular
pastime. People of every age and
occupation are apt to indulge in
it, and the results of plannng are
seldom the same. Preferences in
architectural style differ, require
ments for living and entertaning
differ, expenditures differ. Never
theless, certain principles under
lyng good construction should al
ways be observed, regardless of
cost limits or personal preference
as to style and decoration. These
princples extend through the
tire process of planning and build
ing. and are briefly outlined here.
It’s safe to plan your home your
self ... as long as you call in a
competent architect before actual
construction begins! But don’t re
j on r own jud g ment to see
*>»
Be perfectly frank with your ar
chitect and your builder let
them know exactly what the to
tal amount you can spend amounts
to. And be willing to accept some
safe bet that all of the features
you want will not be available
within the price limit you set for
yourself. After construction has
| started, do not attempt workmen to give
instructions to the on
the job. Discuss any changes you
• may wish to make with the ar-
THE COVINGTON NEWS
chitect or builder, and let them
handle the details. You’ll find
that the most effective means of
getting the result you want.
In almost any construction to
W00(d plays an important
P arF Frame construction, finished
clapboards, shingles or stuc
co, or veneered with brick or
stone, is popular. Points that
should be watched in frame con
struction include “bridging” be
tween floor joists and wall studs.

In painting, certain principles
j should be observed. Where knots
| occur in the wood, they should be
I shellacked before they are paint
ed, for the resin will continue to
Cf T. through and rta.n he paint
lf thls Pf pp ™hon * not taken. In
| pre P aratl °" for P alnt > ng ’ nails
j ,,sed m outs,dp instruction should
be countersunk, and the holes put
tied. And in every case, a prim
ing coat should be used on all new
wood. Beams and floor joists that
may come in contact with moist
tire should be treated before being
! used.
1 Where wood shingles are used,
they should be nailed only over
wood sheathing. “Edge grain”
I (those rut across the annual rings
of the wood) are the best selec
j tion for long life.
Do not attempt to “cheat” on the
hidden features of your home. It’s
better, ultimately, to do without
j an extra room or a finer wall fin
ish than to depend on poor plumb
ing or wiring. The choice of pipe
material should be determined bv
the experience of local builders
and plumbers. Different types of
water and soil have different ef
fect® on metal, and a choice should
not be made until the facts about
local conditions have been deter
mined.
When plumbing fixtures are
being installed the elimination

ers, These fixtures, according
their design and use, can be
vitreous china, enameled iron.
monel metal or stainless steel.
Provision for hanging fixtures
should be made when the frame
work of the house in constructed.
Electric wiring in the home has
! undergone many changes in re
cent years. The wider use of elec
trical appliances of all kinds has
made provision for adequate out
lets important; planning place
ment of the large pieces of fur
niture before wiring facilitates a
good arrangement of these con
veniences. New types of non-me
tallic sheathed cable make for
greater safety in interior wiring
and the use of a circuit breaker
instead of a fuse box makes this
safety devise more convenient.
Wiring supplies should bear tags
or imprints signifying the ap
prova! of the Underwriting Lab
oratories, to assure the best op
eration .. and , greater , safety. , , ,

Twenty years of Oldsmobile progress is portrayed above. The 1920 44-horsepower Oldsmobile
four-door sedan at the left, a style-leader and a big value in its day, lacked many of the comfort and
safety features taken for granted with owners today. However it sold for $1995 at the factory and
the price did not include even bumpers, spare wheel or tire, they were $50.00 extra. Today’s modern
and streamlined successor, the 1940 Oldsmobile 95-horsepower, Series Sixty four-door sedan with
safety glass, chrome window reveals, bumpers, spare wheel, tire and tube, dual trumpet horns, dual
windshield wipers, vacuum booster pump and two sun visors plus many other modern features sells

Sandhill Cranes Fly
Over Jackson Lake
A flock of approximately forty
^* ve sandhill cranes, successor to
the virtually extinct whooping
C1 ane as largest bird in this
family ’ was reported in Atlanta
Saturday by C. H. Wharton, young
Atlanta taxidermist.’’
Wharton said he saw the birds
after ,, , being attracted , , , by loud, ,
a
re . sonan t series of calls. They ap
parentiy were coming into the
lake for the night, he said.
“They were headed north,”
said, “and could be heard at least
two miles.”
Such a flight of these cranes is
considered a wild life rarity. The
birds have a wing spread of over
six feet and when erect the male’s
height is nearly that of an average
man.
For the Sun Room
A summery air may be given to
a sun room or even a bedroom by
adding a dado made .of wood
i trellis nailed to the wall. The trel
! lis begins at the top of the base
board and extends approximately
. thirty inches above the floor. It
ig constructed in sections, paint
| ed, and then placed in position.
It costs just as much to man
j age a sparsely stocked stand of
I trees of low quality as it does to
; handle a fully stocked stand.
