Alex Buildi Hii Own
It i.i building time now s well
8 growing time, and rare is the
man without the itch to take out
o( the house and go for one chore
or the other. In tune with the
season. I'm trying to use this
soace for a spell to provide aid
and comfort for build-itchy read
ers. So we come to young Alex El
lenbacher, Hungarian born, now
a factory hand in New Jersey,
and his new house with living
room, kitchen, dinette, bnth, two
bedrooms, full basement and a
larce attic in which more bed
rooms can be made.
Reader's Digest tells that the
house was all built by Alex and
his wife with their own hands,
except for Installation of plumb
ing, heating, wiring and appli
cation of plaster, They spent
$8,600, and have i house ap
praised at $14,000.
Mr, Elienbacher was a build
ing greenhorn at the start. How,
then, did he even begin?
Drtii-Pattern Houia
Several times in this column
news notes have been given on
the fact that most retail lumber
dealers keep In stock a pile of
patterns for the building of all
sorts of useful and ornamental
objects of wood. These patterns
serve the amateur woodworker
and builder much as clothing
patterns serve the home dress
maker. Moat retail lumber deal
ers sell the patterns. One, No.
910, is for a two-bedroom home.
The Ellenbachers knew where
and how to begin after securing
Pattern 910, because it told what
tools to get, and what materials,
with directions on the position
of every piece of lumber In the
house and on marking and cut
ting each one. No question of the
kind was left unanswered. The
amateur was even told how to
buy materials as needed, a pack
age each week or so.
Two yean seems to be the av
erage time that such "build
yourself" project takes. In terms
of man-hours' cost, the savings
over employing contractors and
carpenters are no great shakes.
The thing is that with Alex, as
with other cases I can name, the
financial situation was such that
it was build themselves in spare
time or have no new home at all.
Thus, self-building does not
lose Jobs and wages for people
of the building trades but makes
more jobs and wages. Such proj

lost of us must be content
with the remodeling of an old
house, doing rough work our
selves and employing crafts men
for the fine work, in amateur
home building. I've done much
of this with book guidance. A
neighbor has done as well In
making a modern home out of
an old house as any amateur may
hope to do in building an en
tirely new home. The cost was
considerable, of course, but the
results are a house incomparably
better than It was when new, 25
years ago.
But there are many patterns on
my retail lumber dealer's rack
that are Just my size. One that I
know I can manage is No. 51,
for a tool and garden house.
With my new basement. I don't
want any more tracking dirty
tools and garden stuff Inside.
And a modern bookcase, No.

are a pleasure to dream with
and fool on. I'll probably butcher
the Jobs. If so, I'll let you know.
