Farm Kitchens And Utility Rooms Continuing last weeks article on farm kit ens etc we now turn to planning standards and locations for refrigerator sink and range This material was prepared un der the auspices of the Prairie Rural Housing Committee spon sored by the governments of the provinces of Manitoba Saskatche wan and Alberta and by Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation Planning Standards The aim of this section is to pre sent set of dimensions for stor age units work surfaces prepar ation centres and the overall work area so that the utmost con venience can be achieved in plan Iung IDEA KITCHEN SIZES Smallllle 132 sq ft Mediumllxll 154 sq ft liargellx16 176 sq ft Minimum width is ft the floor area should coincide with the above sizes regardless of width or length UTILITY ROOM SIZES SmallSXIZ 108 sq ft MediLImIZXIT 144 sq ft Large12x16 192 sq ft The kitchen and utility areas may be rectangular square or shaped The rectangular room is the most convenient and efficient for it allows the best work counter arrangement Back Entrance and Basement Stairs Although the rear entrance and the basement stairs are not actual ly part of the wprk core their relationship to it is important In order to avoid accidents the rear entrance area including landing should be quite large door should be wide enough ft Between sink and range to Between range and refrigerator to wvrw nu nan Sufficient space must be provld ed in front of cabinets and appli CORRECT MAILING TECHNIQUE Continued from page ten Proper Grip Important In the actual driving of nails there are several points to be con sidered First you should have proper grip on your hammer Hammers should be held at the end of the handle The best hold for tack hammer is with the in dex finger along the handle Car penters hammers should be grip ped as in shaking hands or the traditional blacksmiths grip thumb along the handlemay be used In striking the trick Is to have the axis of the hammer head in line with the nail at the instant of impact Sometimes nail bends because the rcsiStance to penetra tion is too great but much more ottenthe bend results because the nail was struck at an angle To faciutate controt atroid wrist motion Hammer hand and fore arm should swing from the elbow It is as important to keep your eye and attention on the nail head as it is in golf to keep your eye on the ball In close quarters you may find it easier to start nail with the flat of the head instead of the striking face It you want to avoid leaving hammer dents in wood use nail set and be careful to strike the last blow accurately In the ab sence of nail set the edge of the head OI common nail can be used The rule of thumb for the pro per length of nail subject to modi fication Is that it should be three times as long as the thickness of the first board through which it is driven National Housing Act building standards require nails to be of such length that when join ng one timber to another the penetration of the nail into the second or farther timber shall not bcless than onehalf the length of the nail few common nailing terms you should know are FACE NAILING Nailing perpendicular to the planes of the pieces being joined together with head exposed TOE NAILENG Joining pieces abutting at right angles as when studs are nailiedto plates from the upper side SKEWING Counteracting the weak holding power of nails In end grain by driving at slight an Um Irclv ances for easy passage minimum clearance of ft should be allowed between appliances which are op posite each other plan This distance is sufficient for two work CIS Clearance between cabinets at right angles to each other but separated by door should be at least plan appliance and cabinet angles to one another should be ft to permit the opening of appli ance doors plan to allow easy passage when large articles are brought into the house wide stairway ill will make it easier to carry groceries canned goods and fuel to the basement Stairs with risers not greater than and treads not less than 10 require much less energy to climb than stairs of steeper pitch Doors and Windows wi 1P mi in Most kitchens require two doors one leading to the dining area and one to the rear entrance through utility room or by way of hall If the kitchen is proper ly related to the rest of the house third door is seldom required Unessential doors waste valuable space break up the assembly of equipment and decrease the possi bility for workable traffic pat tern Door openings should be lo cated 28 to 30 from corners to allow space for the depth of base cabinet on adjacent walls Windows either The window area should equal 10 to 15 per cent of ilhe floor area of the room Atleast one centre should be directly lighted by win dow Forareasons of safety and ease of cleaning windows above the stove are not recommended Windows should be 16 from the corners of the room to provide space for overhead wall cabinets on adjacent walls and should be 42 to 50 from the floor to per mit the placement Of equipment under the window sill Location of Refrigerator Sink and Range The direct path between the re frigerator sink and range forms work triangle which serves as measure of the efificiencyof the kitchen arrangement The sum of the distance between these units should not be less than 12 ft and not greater than 22 ft Experi ments have shown that when the distance betwen these units is less than 12 fit counter surface and storage space is insufficient when the distance is greater than 22 ft the housewife has to take extra steps during the preparation of meal Tradin through this Work triangle should be avoided as it interferes with meal preparation Ilhere should be enough space between these appliances to per mit the housewife to move freely Listed below are the recommended distances as measured from the fronts of each appliance See plans and Botween refrigerator and sink t0 STRUCTURAL STEEL Angles Beams Plates
