The roof boards can now be put on and covered with tar paper and then the whole building covered with two feet of earth. A frame for the door is made by sawing two pieces 2x4, six feet long and one piece 4 feet and nailing together and to the building as shown in Figure I. Saw the eight-inch flooring the right length and nail to two-inch boards six inches wide; this will form a bulk- head door for the entrance.
