Low Cost Wood Homes Plqnned

A group of unusual "breakthrough" houses for low-income families has been developed by the Forest Service. The houses are engineered for volume lactory man* facture and to make the most efficient use of wood or wood in comhination with other materials.

Construction systems are unique; one of the houses is tubular, another circular. One design can be built as a single home or could be combined into two sineles on one foundation to form a duplex. Because o[ its unique framing method, which makes maximum use of lower grades of lumber, another innovation has been named the "Nuframe" construction system.
