There is a full basement con- taining space for storage, utility, heating and recreation room. A noteworthy feature for the man of the house is the well -ligh=ted work area which forms part of the garage.• The total floor area is 1,582- - square feet and the exterior dimen- sions are 42 feet. by 32 feet, Six inches.

BEDROOM Is GARAGE ESL Agow SKILL AND EXPERIENCE — The mason plays an important part in providing a Com- fortable house. Putting up a good brick wall, that is, a wall with level, uniformly. spaced bricks and fully mortarred joints, requires considerable skill. ADVENTURE IN BUILDING Good Masonry Wall Depends On Proper Masonry Joints' This is the sixteenth in a series of articles by Central Mortgage and Housing Cor- - poration, Federal housing ag- ency, on building a house, Masonry unfits can be used'either as an exterior finish, such as brick veneer on a wooden frame, or in the construction of solid masonry outside walls. Formerly, when people spoke of masonry walls they meant walls built of quarried or field stone or walls of solid brick. In modern houses, masonry walls are usually built of hollow concrete or cinder blocks. This type of construction should not be confused with cav- ity wall construction which con- sists of a double wall with an in- tervening air space. Newer types of bricks which span the full thick- ness of the walls are also employ- ed. Conventional solid brick or stone masonry walls are now de- cidedly rare. But basically, all masonry walls, whether of stone, brick or blocks, are still assembled in the same way. Each block or brick is set in a frame of mortar which acts as a binding and sealing agent. A masonry wall Is as good as. its mortar joints. If a wall leaks when exposed to driving rains, poor mortar is often to blame. Brick manufacturers maintain that iii many cases where a masohry wall fails to act as an adequate weathering surface, the trouble can bb ,traced to poor mortar joints. Special care must be taken if mix. After water has been added to quicklime it should be allowed to stand in the wet condition for at least seven days before being mixed with other ingredients that make the mortar. When hydrated lime is used instead of quicklime, 12 hours in the wet stage is suf- ficient before preparing the mortar mix. Probably the greatest number of failures in masonry construction are due to frost damage. At one time nd masonry work was done in winter. Present day heating methods have altered this, but if masonry is put up during the cold season certain precautions are es- sential. These are outlined in the book, "Housing Standards," in the section dealing with masonry and mortar. Moisture Proofing Some masonry walls, such as those built of brick or stone, pro- vide a satisfactory finish without further treatment. Walls made of cement blocks or cinder blocks require some sort of surface coat- irig, unless prefinished blocks are used. Stucco is a common method of finishing block walls but facing in stone or brick is also popular. The interior of masonry walls is parged with a cement mixture, then covered with a layer of build- ing paper. Furring, which consists of strips of wood fixed to the wall, is then applied. It is used as a nailing base for the interior finish, Damp-proof courses are employ- ed to ,check the -travel of moisture quicklime is used in the mortar ,in masonry construction. The ma- terial most frequently used for this purpose is heavy felt paper. But other rust -proof materials, such as sheet lead, or copper will do eq- ually well. Damp-proof courses are required under stone sills, unless the sill is of a single piece. This is to prevent melting snow from filtering through joints and dam- aging the woodwork ,or insulation. Masonry units on which door or window lintels rest should be either solid or .solid -filled. Lintels are the structural members which ex- tend across the top of an open- ing. They usually support some part of the roof or the floor above and for this reason a good bearing surface is required. Masonry walls must be tied to the wooden part of the structure, such as the floor. framing or in- terior partitions. The ties provide a wall-to-wall bond, permitting the building to act as a single unit un- der stress. Ties which bind the frame to the masonry are also re- quired when masonry crosswalls are built within the building. These requirements are explained in detail in "Housing Standards." A strip of galvanized sheet metal underlaid with bituminous felt paper is installed above and be- low doors and windows in mas- onry walls. Known as flashing, it can be omitted when the head of the opening is sufficiently well pro- tected against the weather by the roof overhang. Flashing is also re- quired at other points such as the junction of the roof and chim ey, or where wood construction mdets masonry. MR. AND MRS.

This is a steep escarpment, fac- ing toward the east, that rises be- tween 500 and 1,000 feet above the Manitoba lowland and runs for about 350 miles from the interna- tional boundary in the Pembina River region northwesterly to just south of the Carrot River in Sas- katchewan. Looked at from the east, this . escarpment appears as a group of hills known, from south to north, as the Pembina Hills, the Riding, Duck and Porcupine Moun- tains, and the Pasquia Hills. This cuesta is a distinct topographic feature, representing a steplike rise between the Manitoba and Sas- katchewan prairie levels.
