A Big House 0: a "rials One Did you know "-cit it is harder to design :, .mall house than a big one? M6 less space you have the ha-,vr it is to fit everything in satisfactorily. One of the most .Important things—according, to architects --is to get a prop,: relation- ship between tilt .: ing, sleep- ing and working .:rc•c:s of the house.

Why? Be- cause lumber is a plentiful com- modity in this cc :::try, and building with this :material is largely a question of economics But there are otter advantages apart from cost, The skeleton of a frame house can be put up very quickly wir': a minimum tabor. The exterior can be finished in a variety of mater- ials. Shingles, siding, stucco, wood panelling or masonry ven- eer. If well -braced and treated against moisturelumber frame construction is sturdy and dur- able. Within the past decade more and more frame houses have been either prefabricated or pre-cut read:: for assembly on the building site. It looks as if our most popular method of house building will remain so for a long time to come. 0--0--0 TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION What do you know about houses? Can you tell the dif- ference between a masonry house and masonry veneer con- „truction? The masonry house has walls built entirely of masonry units such as brick or stone, while masonry veneer consists of a single row of bricks over a frame of lumber. Open lumber framing is probably the most common type of construct- ion onstruction in Canada. It is built of vertical studs with plates at top and bottom. One of its ad- vantages is the open space be- tween the studs which can be padded with insulating material Plank frame construction with walls of solid wood is common in Quebec. Post and beam construction, one of the oldest and also one of the most attrat^- tive types of construction, is popular in the coastal sections ,of British Columbia, 0--0--0 LEARN THE BASIC BUILDING TERMS Building or buying a house can be a fascinating adventure. Everyone expects his new home to be attractive, comfortable and durable, but this is not attained without some effort on your part. You should be able to discuss matters intelligently with the lender, the lawyer who draws up the papers and particu- larly your builder. For ex- ample, can you tell a stud from a joist? When the builder mentions the rafters do you know what part of the structure he is referring to? Have you ever seen workmen floating a basement floor? Before you can talk shop with the builder you must learn the basic terms of the trade. Knowing what goes into the building of your house will make you a more discriminating home owner. 0--0-0 HOUSING STANDARDS What are they? They are standards of construction and a contractor must build in reason- able conformity with them when he is building a house under the National Housing Act. These standards were originally established by Central Mort- gage and Housing Corporation. Now they are prepared by the National Research Council. Their purpose is to set forth minimum requirements of planning, construction and materials for housing of all types. Housing standards are not determined by one group but by a special housing com- mittee made up of people from industry, trade unions, consum' er groups and professional or- ganizations concerned with housing. As a result of their work, better housing is being built all across Canada, The quality of construction has im- proved noticeably since the standards were introduced to guide both the builder and the buyer.
