In the interests of sound and better small home construction, each design in this book was engineered by architects and technicians experienced in specialized fields of home planning. All blueprint working drawings include the following: basement or foundation plan; floor plans; front, rear and side elevations; complete framing plans; wall sections and all necessary details. REVERSED PLANS Perhaps your home should face the opposite direc­tion. Obviously, a plan designed for a lot facing east will not result in the best exposure when your lot fronts the west. Therefore, plans of homes as illus­trated in this book are available either as shown or reversed, as may be required. SPECIFICATIONS are statements of particulars which tell you what you are going to receive in materials and workmanship. Blank specification forms and contract forms are in­cluded with blueprint plans. See Us For Blueprint Plans And Other Information
