In compliance with your request I am sending you a photo- graph and plan of our cement house. The size of the house is 28x34 feet; contains eight rooms and bath room; cost $1,800, in- cluding hot water heater and system; cellar 20x28 feet; built of solid concrete, one part cement and nine parts sand and gravel. We put a good many rock in the cellar walls. Thickness of walls: Footing, 15 inches; up to first floor, 12 inches; above first floor, 9 inches. Cost of excavating cellar, cement, hauling sand and gravel,. and labor for putting up walls, $230. In putting up the cellar walls we boxed up in the usual way to the first floor. In building the upper walls we followed instructions given in your "Cement Work- ers' Handbook," page 37, except that we put box all around the building, as we found this method decidedly the best. Would have boxing not less than 12 inches; 13 inches is better. Use for the boxing or frames the best of lumber one and one-fourth inches thick,.
