With help from two men and starting at 9 a. m Saturday. I figure the house should lie ready to have into before nightfall. And 1 would like to have a couple of Gls help me make the test." Setvenson estimates his build ing costs as: foundation, $125, heating $100; exterior, roof and partitions. $1350; plumbing $500: wiring $125 and interior finish of plaster board $125; for a to tal of $2325. Contractors’ esti mates for the identical structure range from $4000 to $6000 plus fee. Secret for such unusually low building cost, according to Ste venson is in the method of con struction as well as the type of material used. The unit will come to the A l oha building site precut in four by eight foot panels, the ex terior materials coming from Co- quille. Oregon. Panels are <>f kiln-dried lumber, sized two b\ six and eight feet in length. Boards are double-grooved with a two-inch tongue known to the lumber trade as “ Spllnecraft." Windows and doors are fitted, hung and mortised for locks. Entire structure is dipped in a special sealing liquid that serves as a prime coat. Stevenson invites the public to come and kihitz at the house- raising and particularly urges GI’s with housing headaches to come out to Aloha and watch this important housing test.
