See that the boards match tight, and
your floor Is smooth and tight. You are
now ready for your roof, and this is the
most difficult part of the house, unless
you are a carpenter.
How to Put on Roof end Fix Ventilation.
On each box in front and near top Is an
opening, and this Is covered by a door
with cleats made to come off In one whole
piece. On one of your boxes take off
these cleats, but securely nail the boards
to your box. This will make the first
••hip” of your* roof from upper front to
top of your box. Don’t nail any boards
to top of either box—you will have to
make a ridge roof from this flnit hip up
to ridge. To get the pitch of the roof. 1
used this plan: First. I found the center
between my two. boxes, and by measuring
found it came almost exactly in the cen
ter of the two-foot space between them
that 1 left on ends for a door and window,
and when I put new floor in. Mark your
center on each end on the tie pieces you
nailed to top of your boxes. To this mark
I nailed an upright piece of one of my
cleats about ten or twelve inches long
securely to the tie piece on bottom end,
and then, by ’laying a straight piece of
edging from top of this uptight piece to
the top of my box at the top of the front
where the hip of my roof would join. I
got the length of my rafter for the upper
roof, and also the “pitch" of my roof. 1
placed the edging half way across the top
of my upright piece and marked the bevel
for my rafter. By doing this for the four
pieces (two on each side at each end) you
can get a good (It on your rafters, and
when nailed in place will have a solid
tight foundation for your upper roof.
under your door you can cover with good
muslin to keep hens in. and give good
ventilation and light by leaving the door
raised in warm weather.
When this completes your roof you
should have plenty of lumber left to make
a door In the two-foot opening between
two or J kind ready built sell for. Various .other
ways can be used to build a colony house
from two piano boxes, about 225 feet of
lumber; $nd they will all be matched stuff.
