BUILDING A HOME
Sir,-Being in the position of hundreds of returned servicemen, who are finding it impossible to buy, or have built, homes of their, own, at to-day’s costs, I was very interested to read the article in a recent Listener on "Building Your Own Home in Sweden." The average New Zealand chap of my own age is quite capable of using a saw, hammer, a level, and, if building a place for himself, willing to do plenty of hard work. But the average chap, like myself, is a bit hazy on how to go about building a house, and the usual regulations. 5 With the building situation the way it is at present, and the prospects for the future not so bright, it would be a great thing if someone in the position to do so, could give us some advice on
the subject.
