to tackle the job of building their
own homes. They usually have to
handle the job of building their own)
homes, They usually have to have}
advice from their carpenter friends,
or their material dealer as to pro-,
cedure and probably help in framing
the structure.
and the experienced carpenters and
contractors usually are willing .to
give them advice. :
It is a pleasure to see these homes
usually small, $0 up and the ‘‘kick”’
that the owners get out of the task
of erecting them. And the finished
structure is sunprisingly well built
in most cases although now .and
then something happens to tie up the
job. In these cases the real estate
man is usually on the job to help
the owners dispose of the property
to someone else with as small a loss
as possible to the original builder.
Regarding alterations and repairs
not much can be said. Each. job is
an individual. problem. There is no
structed home.
Why not consult him today about the home you are planning to build or remodel? Be secure this winter in a home
built at reasonable cost.

is comfort, convenience and
over time and space. It is a
question but that most of the old
, homes of these mountain communities can be much improved with the
expenditure of modest sums. The
writer’s own home comes to mind
and a new porch on the sunny side
of the house, new front door, new
and modern, bath, and many other
improvements limited usually only
by finances could well be installed.
Among the perennial and regular
replacements in a good home the
roof is the largest item of expense.
Qur roofs here seem to run more .-to
weod shingles, cedar and redwood,
end to split sugar pine shakes which
are a product of our own nearby
sugar mine forests. No mistake can
be made in using either of these as
exmerience has shown that they have
no equal for long life and freedom
from trouble when properly applied
and when one does not expect a 60
year old roof to give the same service
as a new one. And there are many
roofs in the community that have
already well served their owners
past the 30 year mark and are still
good. Shingles being made at the
present time are better’ selected,
thicker and better manufactured
than were the shingles of thirty
years ago.
