Drop Siding Used Without Sheothing

Portland-In warmer areas where use of sheathing is not required or customary in house building, drop siding can now be used without sheathing on studs spaced 24,, on center, the Western Pine association research laboratory announces. FHA recently accepted this use on a local basis, and will have it written into the 4ext revision of Minimum Property Standards, which already lists this kind of drop siding use on 16. o.c. studs.

Requirements for 24,, o.c. use are: Each siding piece must span at least three stud spaces; siding must be nailed to each stud with at least two corrosion-resistant nails, and nail has to be long enough to penetrate stud at least 1r/2".

These requirements are in addition to those already published for 16" o.c. stud placing, namely: Minimum siding thickness y4,,; maximum width, 8"; minimum headlap Y+,, for tongue and g'roove edge, /s" for shiplap edge; all butt joints of siding to be over studs and joints in adjacent pieces staggered.

Unired Lumber Ncrmes Bill Crews Moncrger of Nevodo Lumber Co.

Appointment of W. J. (Bill) Crews as manager of the Nevada Lumber Company of Tahoe Valley has been announced by the United Lumber company of Modesto, Calif.

The new marager comes to the Lake Tahoe area with his family from Atwater, Calif., where he was manager of United's lumber yard there. Forty years old, Crews has been in the lumber business for the past 20 years, getting his start years ago in his native Nebraska.

He and his family are no strangers to the Lake Tahoe area. During the years they lived in Atwater, they were frequent summer visitors at the famed Sierra Nevada vacationland.

"Actually," he said, "we've been vacationing in this area for the past eight years and we've always liked it. We now are looking forward to living here the year around."

The family is settled in a home in Tahoe Valley and their son, Gary, 14, is a freshman in South Tahoe high school. Crews very likely will take active part in community life once he grows accustomed to his present job. In Atwater he was president of the Rotary club, secretary of the fire department and a member of the chamber of commerce. And his wife, Irene, was active in local afrairs, too, being secretary of the school department in Atwater.

Under his management, Nevada Lumber will maintain a winter schedule of being open Monday through Saturday noon. No other changes are planned for the immediate future.

Nevada Lumber company was sold to United Lumber in October of 1958. The company operates 25 lumber yards extending from Lake Tahoe south to Porterville below Tulare.
