Sawteii, of Vancouver. 01' frame construction, the house is divided into three fairly distinct divisions with the kitchen, all-pur- pose room and living room on the left separated from the bedrooms on the right by a central portion. The ceilings are level in the central portion which contains the heating equipment and the toilet and bath facilities. All other ceil- ings follow the roof slope, but raf- ters and beams are not exposed. The total floor area is 1,368 square feet and the exterior dimen- sions'42 feet, six inches, by 32 feet, - two inches, excluding carport.

WHERE QUALITY COUNTS -Good quality lumber is needed for floor joists.. ,The rough flooring, whether boards or plywood, must be adequately naile d to provide a firm floor. ADVENTURE IN -BUILDING Lumber for FIoorJoists Must Be of Good Quality This is the fourteenth in a series of articles by 'Central Mortgage and Housing Corpor- ation, Federal housing agency, on building a house. "'- Joists are the members which extend from the beam to the out- side utside walls of the house and give direct support to the floor; in an unfinish d basement they are plain- ly visible. Their role is as im- portant as that of the beam be- cause both form an essential part o e flour assembly; Ii..house building, wood joists are still used almost exclusively. 11 steel joists age used, installation should be made according to en- gineering specifications. A good grade of structural lum- ber is required, since oversize kpots or other major 'defects in the joists will materially affect their bearing capacity. Joists should be as straight as possible. This is essential to ob- in level floors. Lumber used for joists is usually of two-inch stock and ,8 to 12 inches wide; serious warpage in these heavy,planks is difficult to correct. At the center of the joist span, cross bridging — either wood or metal -c,. acts as a stiffener, by distributing the floor load over a greater number of joists. Cross bridging links the bottom of one joist with the top of the next. As an alternative to cross bridging, a strip,of wood can be nailed across the bottom of the .joists. The size of joists and their spac- ing depend on the span to be cov- ered. Floor joist tables showing requirements for NHA - financed houses are given in the book, "Housing Standards", provided by CMHC..These are minimum re- quirements only. Sometimes it is more practical to increase the size of the joists, rather than narrow their spacing, by installing addi- tional joists. The aim is to make the floor assembly as sturdy as possible. There are a number of ways of supporting the joists. At the foundation end, joists can be embedded in the concrete or rest on the sill plate on top of the wall. ce the top of the foundation is 'seldom perfectly level, the sill is aligned on a bed of mortar when - it is bolted in place. At the beam end, joists can rest directly on top of the beam or on a Iedger board nailed to the side of the beam. Ledger boards should be made of 2x4 lumber and should be nailed to the side of the beetle using at least two four -inch nails Of ead t foist supported, Foist' can also be attached to the beam by means' -of joist bangers. With steel beams, joists' may rest on the beam's lower flange, provided they are additionally secured. When ledger boards, are used as end supports the joiss should not be notched but placed directly on top of the ledger board. Notching reduces their strength to that of their narrowest part and often causes them to split. Many --builders insert blocks be- tel the joists where the rest on the beam. Joist ends whit are hot made fast in this manner have a tendency to warp and bow, which leads to irregularities in the floor. If distortion is severe, cracks may eventually appear in the plaster. Blocks should preferably be of the same width and thickness as the joists. Usually, there are enough odds and ends of number left over for this purpose. A house with a basement norm- ally has one oremore floor open- ings Joists framing such openings are called either trimmers or head- ers. Trimmers run parallel to the opening, while headers box in the ends of the opening. Both trim- mers and headers are Melly doubled. Not all joists rest on beams or foundation walls. If a joist is sup- ported at one end by a header it is called -a tail joist. Metal joist hangers are needed in most cases to give extra. support at these Wets. However, for short spans, they can be omitted. Floor joists runnirig under parti- tion walls and parallel to them should also be doubled, except in the case of short non-bearing par- titions. Doubling of joists is some- times overlooked. It is a good idea to cheek the floor framework against the floor plan before the subflooring is nailed on. Joists are also used in the ceil- ing -assembly. In a two-storey house, the ceiling joists of the first storey become the floor joists for the floor above and are there- fore considered as floor joists, as far hs size and spacing are con- cerned- - , Sub•FIooring Nailing down the sub -flooring completes the rough floor assem- bly. The sub -flooring is made either of nominal one -inch' Lumber. or plywood. The term "nominal" re - fern to the size of the lumber be- fore it goes through, the planer. TEus, etMlible1 1.x6 boards, a size frequently 11Sed for sub -flooring, Is aboitt t free••quairteiC's of ee itich thick 'and five and three-quarter inches wide after the lumber has been planed down. Boards used for sub -flooring should ,not be more than six inch- es wide, if possible. Larger widths have a tendency to curl at the edges as they dry out. The ends of all sub -floor boards should rest on a joist or other sup- port and should be adequately nailed. It is preferable to have the sub -flooring' laid ,diagonally, with boards over four 'inches in wl. cu .a an .le so ends may be -fully supported. Lay- ing the sub -flooring diagonally makes it possible to nail finished flooring along either direction, parallel to the front or the side of the house. At least two nails are required for each floor board where it crosses ,a support. • When plywood panels are used for the sub -flooring they are laid engthwise across the joists. They should be nailed every six inches at the ends and at 12 -inch inter- vals where the panel crosses the intervening joists. The use of ply- wood sub -flooring has certain ad- vantages when tile or wall to wall carpeting is to be used in place of hardwood finish flooring. No fur- ther underlay is required if the plywood is half an inch thick or more, and supported under all its edges. Nailing of the sub-flooris usual- ly done in the open am unless MEDITORIAL.r; I have written of Poison Control Centres and the part they play in the treatment and prevention of poisonings. A recent report of the experience of one such large -center will illus- trate their value. Between March, 1955, and De- cember, 1e58, this center handled 23,662 accidental poisonings. Chil- dren under five accounted for 46 per cent of them, reflecting.a lack of adequate supervision, caution and experience and the careless handling and storage ofdangerous materials. Although there were many items responsible for the poisonings, it was found that aspirin was the cause in 16 per cent. Next in fre- quency were bleaches, lye, lead, sleeping pills, The results of the study also shows that nearly all poisonings are preventable This is -irnportantefor--if euery_ one .tire informed about the dangers of Var- ious drugs and household items and their proper handling there would be no need for the Poison Control Center. * * * (Q): "What causes a tumor or large mass yellow matter to form deep in the brain?"— Mrs. B. C. (A): This could be due either to an . infection (abscess) or a growth. In either case the patient would probably need surgery, al- though there are some growths which can be treated with X-rays alone. Antibiotics, in addition • to surgery, are used for brain infec- tions. (Q): "Is halitosis a chronic disorder, and can it be clewed by medication?"—R. B. (A): Halitosis (bad breath) is a symptom dnd not a disease. It can be due to many things and the cause determines the treatment.
