A while ago you and 1 talked about the way we frame the sides of our Number One Iron Frame Houses. If agreeable to you, this chat together will be about putting up the rafter and tru^s from the eaves to the column. After which we will start dropping the two rafters and truss in place to form the backbone of the roof. First, we'll lay the eave-to-column short part of the rafter on the ground, and bolt on the strut of the truss. Then with a simple gin-pole we'll raise the rafter up, and while one man standing on a horse scaffold, guides it into place be- tween the column cap; another man will see that the other end drops in between the gusset plates attached to posts on side of house. Then in go the bolts. After which the trusses are bolted to the post and column cap, and to the strut in the middle. Next comes the gable with its one piece rafters running from ridge to cave; and the necessary gable posts with their angle iron purlins. Now with the two rafters and truss extending from columns to ridge, assembled and laid out on the ground, we will again use the gin-pole and hoist them up and bolt to the malleable iron column cap fitting and ridge plate. Next we bolt on the purlins, and before you know it, we have our gable and three complete sections each I 2 feet 6 inches long all framed. So suppose we stop at this point and call it a day's work. What do you say if next time we have a talk it is about the connect- ing passages and how they are framed? ord & Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the origin
