Uprights — Boards
at right angles
to the weather —
-boarding lining
connecting them together
dove-tailed into
them
Beams similar
to the uprights
mortising
into them
Rafters — none —
the repetition of
the Beams answering
the purpose
To the lower edge
of the beams,
Battens dovetailed
across
parallel to the
flooring, serving
for strengthening
the beams, and
for stowing.
Roofs — front, house
fashion continued
as the sides of the
houses — projecting
beyond to keep out
wet
Difference in
magnitude of
the whole to be
made rather
by repetition than
by encreased magnitude
of the parts
Copper hood
over the whole
— hanging not
standing.
Between the
outside and inside
Walls, stuffing of
the cheapest vegetables
— grass
leaves, heath, &c.
Columns
Barrels — whole
length of the wood
—hooped
Hollow
for
1. Coal-holes
2. Water-pipes
3. Necessaries
The bottom of the
inter-partition space
should not be closed
with a board but
with bars so as
to leave room for the
air that any wet
that gets between
the partitions may
drawn out
Probably nothing
would be better than
Sand for the intrapartion filling
Heath would hardly
close enough
as it could not
be rammed.
If the weight of the
whole column of
Sand would be too
great it might be
distributed by
partitions.
