All frills and extras have been eliminated but the de- sign provides good basic living accommodation. Of frame and brick veneer con- struction, the house is particularly suited to a narrow lot with the gable end facing the street. The entrande hall is ample and provides access to the kitchen . and base- ment .stairs as well as the living room. Conveniently divided, ' the basement has a large area suitable for a future recreation room. There is plenty of cupboard and counter space in the kitchen which also contains a dining area, The total floor area is 852 square feet and the exterior dimension% are 35 feet by 24 feet, four inches.

CUP Ki7CHLN DINING a'.$o' r a. lo" i REF D HALL s ADVENTURE IN BUILDING Foundation Should Be Treated To Prevent Water Infiltration This is the tenth in a series • of articles by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Fed- eral housingagency, on build- ing a house. • If 'the four,}datioit is to enclose ,a cellar or basyment its exterior su- face must either be waterproofed or damp -proofed below ground lev- el. This is necessary both for•pour- ed foundationsand concrete block foundations. To damp-proof, one or two coats • of tar or other acceptable material is applied to the walls. A single heavy coating will be sufficient in many cases, but if the first coat fails to mask the concrete com- ',pietely a second coat should be _.-applied. An over -generous appli- cation of damp -proofing is better than too little. Waterproofing is a more elabor- ate process and is recommended in areas and locations where flood- ing is liable to occur. Where the water level is only a few feet be- Iow the surface it may be, inad- visable to build a foundation, Where hydrostatic .pressure oc- curs waterproofing becomes essen- tial. Hydrostatic `pressure happens when the soil surrounding the foundation is saturated. The treat- ment required for waterproofing involves the building of a double concrete floor with two separate layers. .Between these two pour- ings of -concrete a thick coating of tar or asphalt preparation is ap- plied. This coating is extended to the exterior between the footing and the foundation wall. It should form a tight seal with the coating applied to the exterior of the foun- dation wall. Where the water lev- el or "table" is close•to the sur- ' face, it may be advisable to re- inforce the foundation walls and basement floor with steel rods. Weeping Tiles Drain tiles or "weeping" tiles are placed around the footings of the house to prevent water accum- ' ulating about the foundations. They I, can be dispensed with in isolated `r cases where the natural drainage Is snchbthat the danger of water . accumulating at the footing level is negligible. In most instances,. however, drain tiles are required either to take care of normal run- off or to cope with spring that's • or unusually heavy downpours. The drainage system should work efficiently throughout the life of the house if it is properly in- stalled. Every tile should be check- ed, becadse a single bad joint or break can result in loose soil- ae- FRESH BAKED For '''abty; Eating • MOPPING OPERATIONS—Damp-proofing the foundation walls with` tar on the outside helps to keep the basement of a new house dry. The -drain tiles at the base of the ° wall are covered with crushed stone before the earth is replaced around the foun- dation. cumulating inside the tiles -and lead to rapid clogging of the whole system. Special corner tiles are available and their use is recom- mended. There should be a slight separation between tiles and these should 'be' covered with strips of asphalt felt. Crushed stone is then spread over the tiles to a depth, of about six inches. If gravel is used it should` contain as little fine ag- gregate as possible. Tiles can be well laid and yet be ineffective, if they are not con- nected to an adequate outlet. The normal method is to hook the tile drainage system to the municipal storm sewer. But this is not al- ways possible. For example,when the footings are lower than the sewer outlet gravity cannot carry excess water away from the tile drainage bed. In some areas mun- icipal regulations do not allow con- nection of the drain tiles to sewers. In such cases other methods of draining the tile' system, such as a dry well or sum pump, or a com- bination of both, can be used to draw away the excess water. SpringIs ComingSoon!
