Home of Your Own PROTECTION BY BY-LAW Are you aware that building by-laws vary from one muni- cipality to another? Although they are based on the same principles everywhere, the same situations do not necessarily arise in all towns or cities. Take the question of set- back, for instance. Some municipalities require a house to be a minimum of twenty feet from the street line. In others, twelve feet is thought to be enough. Citizens themselves may be instrumental in the adoption of a by-law that will affect only that section of the city concern- ing them directly. For instance, a building by-law may be adopted preventing use of cer- tain exterior finishes because they are said to detract from the value of other houses in the vic- inity. ic- inity. 0--0--0 LOCAL BUILDING BY-LAWS We all know that building by-laws are enacted to protect the community. How, you may ask? They are usually drafted to raise the standard of housing accommodation, to provide for the safety of buildings and thus prevent hazards to life and limb and to establish some sort of uniformity and harmony in the general development of an area. The building by-laws rule on such things as where the house should be built on the lot, the distance between buildings and fire regulations for the area. In short, all that governs the building of a house, except the actual construction. 0--0--0 BUILDING SPECIFICATIONS Are you aware that building specifications are just about as important to the builder as the building plans? Specifications are the in- structions to the builder, tell- ing him what sort of materials you want in the house. He will have to know this before he can even quote a price. Without specifications the builder would hardly know whether to put in hardwood floors or a tile cover- ing, or whether to use a flat or glossy paint for the interior walls and ceiling. Specifications, when made part of the building contract, constitute a legal agreement between the builder and the future home owner. That is why as much attention should be given to their preparation as to the plans themselves. If you are not sure, it is always wise to have someone who knows something about building ma- terials and prices go over the specifications before commit- ting yourself. 0--0--0 WINTER CONSTRUCTION Winter construction is not the problem it used to be. More and more builders every year keep up building opera- tions throughout the winter months, even in our coldest climates. However, this is possible only when the proper conditions are met. Special measures are needed when excavating in winter. Power machinery can normally dig through eight or nine inches of frozen ground but if frost has penetrated to a greater depth it may be neces- sary to blast, which naturally raises the cost of construction, One way to keep the ground from freezing too deeply is not to trample down the snow be- Ifore excavating. Loose snow is a good insulator and slows down the loss of heat stored in the ground. Frost penetrates much more rapidly where the snow has been packed. Fresh Berries In November Now, if someone told you he had picked strawberries and thimbleberries on November 5th, you probably wouldn't be- lieve him. Perhaps Clarence Rath, R. R. 1, Belgrave thought we wouldn't believe him either, so he brought in a sample — three luscious strawberries and a sprig with nine large thimble - berries on it. The berries were all about the size you would expect when they are in season -- and they were good! We realize we should have put them on display so thatpeo- ple would believe us, but we couldn't resist just a nibble and then we were hooked and they soon disappeared. The Raths picked their first strawberry of this late crop on Thanksgiving Day and have been picking them ever since. WORN WHEEL ALIGNMENT THREATENS YOUR DRIVING SAFETY !
