The document is a building section that details the materials and construction of the various elements of the structure from footing to roof. It shows a concrete foundation wall and slab, wood framed walls with batt insulation and vapor barrier, an asphalt shingle roof with plywood sheathing and rafters, and wood floors above a concrete slab on grade with a drainage system. Dimensions are provided for floor heights and overall building height.

AFTER INSTALLATION OR IT MAY BE FACTORY
FINISHED.
2. MAPLE WOOD FLOORING TO BE USED, WIDTH
AND THICKNESS TO BE DETERMINED LATER
3. WOOD STRIP FLOORING SHOULD NOT BE
BROUGHT INTO A HOUSE UNTIL THE CONCRETE IN
BASEMENTS HAS CURED (SHED MOISTURE) AND
THE GYPSUM BOARD FINISHING HAS BEEN
COMPLETED SO THAT THE HOUSE HUMIDITY
LEVEL HAS MODERATED. THE FLOORING SHOULD
BE KEPT IN A WARM, DRY PLACE UNTIL IT IS
INSTALLED.
STAIRS

DEPTH AS THE STAIR IT SERVES WITH MINIMUM
DIMENSIONS OF 36 "
2. MINIMUM HEADROOM CLEARANCE MEASURED
VERTICALLY FROM THE PLANE OF THE CEILING
FINISH TANGENT TO THE TREAD NOSING AT THE
STAIRWELL: 6'-5"
3. MAXIMUM VARIATION IN HEIGHTS OF RISERS OR
WIDTH OF TREADS IN ANY GIVEN FLIGHT ; 1/4"
4. ALL TREADS SURFACES ARE TO BE SLIP RESISTENT
5. ALL STAIRS ARE TO BE CONSTRUCTED WITH (3)
2X12, (OR EQUIVALENT), STAIR STRINGERS,
(TYPICAL). ALL TREADS ARE 91/4" MIN., ALL
RISERS ARE 8" MAX.
6. ALL STAIR NOSING PROFILES ARE TO BE 3/4"
MIN. TO 1 1/4" MAX.
7. HANDRAIL SIZE TO BE 1 1/4" TO 2 5/8". ALL
HANDRAILS SHALL TERMINATE IN NEWEL POSTS
OR WALLS.
8. MAX 4" SPACING BETWEEN BALUSTERS.
