Dampness And Bad
Odors Eliminated
?i?
Proper Ventilation in Bane
inent Will l)o Away With
Sueh Inconveniences
Dampness in the basement and un
desirable odors resulting from damp
ness normally can be eliminated
through proper ventilation.
Basement windows often must be
placed partially or almost entirely
below the ground level and outside
areaways used to obtain the desir
ed natural night and ventilation.
Areaways for basement windows
are often made too small. To pro
vide effective light and ventilation,
the width of the area should be at
least equal to its depth Its length
should not be less than the width of
the masonry opening of the window.
The bottom of the area should be
about six inches below the top of the
masonry sill of the window. The use
of deep areas from which leaves and
snow cannot be readily removed
should he avoided.'
Brick, poured concrete, concrete
blocks and corrugated galvanized
iron sheets may be used for area
way walls. When built of masonry,
-area-walls should be eight inches
thick. When concrete is used, the
walls may be six inches thick. The \
walls should rest on firm ground,
and to prevent damage due to frost
action the bottom of the walls should
be carried below the frost 4evd ex
perienced in the locality.
Efficient drainage of the areaway
is important. Good drainage may be
obtained by covering the area bot
tom with a layer of cinders, broken
stone or gravel, or with brick laid in ;
ifend and with open joints. When the |
soil is porous no other special pro
vision for drainage will bo needed.
If the soil is of a type that does not
permit rapid drainage, it is advis
able to provide for positive drainage
of the areaway by use of a pipe in
stalled to carry water away from the
building r.
Good Designing Ls
Also Necessary In
Low-Cost Building
Good designing in home construe
tion should not be limited to dwell
ings of the expensive type but
sfeould play a substantial part in the
development of the low-cost field
as well.
Since elements of deterioration
are more likely to get a foothold in
less expensive homes, increased care
should be exercised in construction
of homes in the lower-priced classes.
Principles of plan efficiency, judi
cious use of materials, and proper
equipment, important in any class
of dwellings, become of paramount
importance-m the design and crea
tion of the modern small home. On
these features, to a large extent, rests
the market-ability of the property.
Fundamental choice of materials
and the determination of structural
design of homes should be made
with a view to produce a house which
is structurally sound, durable and
reasonably resistant to use and wea
ther.
No dwelling, no matter how large
or small, can make a satisfactory
home which provides merely for the
mechanics of living In any house
there must exist a sense of comfort
in \t< appointments and a feeling nf
charm in its appearance and setting.
The designing, the planning, and
the building of a home by a family
becomes a special art.
?Constant watchfulness nn the part
of the home owner will aid in large
measure the protection of his in
vestment. Consistent vigilance will
also safeguard him against the
dauger of accidents occurring on
his premises. -..; -?? _
Adequate inspections .should be
made periodically to prevent casual
ties that may result through falling
of bricks, stone trimmings, and oth- I
er materials loosened through age j
and weathering.
Reasonable precautions, in the na
ture of repair work, will aid in the
maintenance of property in a satis
factory condition. ?.
