Page "hobbies" Paragraph 517

The wall panels are constructed of a framework of standard Af and Af of a good grade, free from structural faults.

They should be as straight as possible, as this will effect their ability to mesh properly when the walls are erected.

The outside surface of the solid units shall be of an exterior grade of panel board such as plywood, plastic coated panel board, high density particle board, asbestos-cement board, or any other product locally obtainable upon recommendation of your building supply dealer.

The inner panels do not have to be weatherproof, and the choice will depend on the quality of finish desired.

All panel board comes in standard Af foot size.

It is recommended that panels be both glued as well as nailed to the frame.

The fixed window panels with louvers should have a good grade of 1/8-inch double-strength glass set in a mastic glazing compound.

The louvers are constructed as shown in the detail, with a drop door for ventilation.

There are standard sliding glass windows in wood or aluminum frames for those panels requiring them.

The door panels are designed to accommodate standard doors which should be of exterior grade.

The filler panels for the gable ends are cut from full Af sheets as shown, leaving no wastage.

The battens covering the joints are of Af stock and are applied after the walls are erected.

All nails should be rustproof, and aluminum is highly recommended.

Note: If 1/2-inch panel board is used inside and out, or 5/8-inch one side and 3/8-inch the other, and 1/8-inch glass is used, stock lumber in Af, Af, and Af can be used in making the glass panels.

Other thicknesses may necessitate ripping a special size lumber for the glass trim.

In any case, there is no special milling or rabbeting required for the panels.
