SURVEYING LOT All local authorities require a "plan of survey" certified by a| provincial surveyor street, lane, house and prop- erty lines surrounding the prop- ert by means of stakes, and sufficiently referenced and dimensioned to ensure re- establishment if lost or dis- turbed, With a normal size building lot, the local bylaw ensures that the house is sited correctly on the lot, but with an extra large lot the home- owner must give thotght to the siting of the house on the lot: as snow shovelling on walks and driveways can be an irk- some task. In National Housing Act fi- nanced homes internal lots in any block must contain at leas' 4,000 square feet for a detached house and 3,000 square feet for each half of a semi-detached house. Corner lots must be 1,000 square feet larger than internal lots in both cases. In addition certain minimum distances are required between showing} the house and the property| ation stage in CMHC offices. After the municipal building permit is issued and the mort- gage money arranged, the ac- tual construction underway. It is very important to make all financial arrangements be- fore a building start is made, as in the case of an NHA loan, money cannot be made avail- able if construction has passed the excavation stage. LOT CLEARANCE Clearing the lot and ex- cavating or digging the hole is not the backbreaking job it used to be. Power machinery now available to the building trade has made these tasks compara- tively easy. The home buyer must be careful at this early stage as at any other. For example, before excava- tion begins, an understanding should be reached with the builder on two points; where the topsoil is to be deposited, and which trees, if any, are to be spared. It is too late to make these decisions after excavation has been done. It is more eco- nomical to conserve the topsoil than to replace it afterwards and if there is good topsoil on the lot, the builder should be asked to stockpile it on the site. Preserving trees is important could get) DELIVERS IT RIGHT TO YOUR DOOR lines. These dimensions arejas they can make quite a dif- house. Trees can be saved by| erecting a protective fence around them and advising the builder to make certain no ex- cavated material is deposited) around the tree trunks. EXCAVATION Stockpile the excavated ma- terials in two separate focations one for top soil, the other fer sub-soil. The locations chosen should offer the least nuisance value to the workmen on the site.. Whenever possible exca- vate trenches for the services at the same time as the base- ment excavation in order to use the power machinery for this phase of the work as well. This, of course, depends on the tpe of equipment on site for the base- ment excavation. Foundation work should com-) mence soon after the excavation) is dug as adverse weather can cause expensive cave-ins. Care must be taken not to place foot- ings on disturbed soil for this could cause foundation prob- lems at a later date. It is there- fore very important not to over excavate, because man cannot replace the excavated material to the same densit that has taken nature ears to consoli- date. FOOTING WHAT'S IN A HOUSE tion at the bottom of the base- ment wall or at the base of sup- porting columns designed to sup- port all of the superimposed load without settlement. The size of the footings is deter- mined by the weight of the house with its live and dead loads and the bearing capacity of the sub-soil. A danger lies in footings that are incorrectly in- stalled, for example, sections of footings on shale with sections on soft ground, weak concrete, sloping footings. Footings should not slope, the should be step- ped in accordance with the method outlined in Residential Standards, Depending on the type of sub- soil it may be possible to install the footing without using side forms. This method saves time and money. The excavation is taken out to the bottom of the basement floor depth and then the footings are neatly exca- vated by hand to the correct di- mensions shown on the plans, Keys or steel dowels are insert- ed along the centre line of the footings to bond them to the foundation wall or columns. No concrete footings should be placed on frozen ground. Should there be a danger of night frost protect the concrete with straw or sacking. The placing of concrete in the toot- ing trench should be continnons in order to eliminate construc SETTING THE PACE FOR OSHAWA .«..
