TO BUILD OWN HOME
SPRINGFIELD FAMILY Lack of housing facilities may have discouraged a lot of people, but it isn’t beating Mrs Laura M. Vance of Springfield, America. Deciding to act, she designed a one-room house for her family and has obtained a permit from the Building Department to put it up. The cost of the self-designed structure will be 330 dollars, according to her estimate.
She plans to use scrap lumber, with a cinder block foundation, and members of the family will do the work. Mrs Vance feels the one-room structure will do nicely until conditions permit her to build a more substantial home.
