WCLA Infroduces Do-lt-Yourself Plans For Vacation Cabin and Fallout Shelter
In time for the annual summer exodus to the mouutains and beaches. West Coast Lumbermen's Association has published complete do-it yourself plans for a low-cost Starter Vacation Cabin.
Another new item in WCLA's spring promotion program is a do-it-yourself plan for an Atomic Fallout Shelter.
The architecturally-designed Vacation Cabin is built of a series of 3-foot panels, constructed on jigs, for the floor, walls and ceilings. The starter unit is 9'xl2', plus an extended front deck of any size desirecl. There is space in the starter unit for two double bunks, a small closet; cookiug area, cabinet for food storage and sPace for a lavatory.
Retailers can use the plans in three ways:
(1) They can build the comPonents in their yard and erect the cabin on site for tl-reir customers.
(2) They can build and sell the panels only, letting the customer erect the cabir-r himself.
(3) They can sell the materials o11ly, and let the customer do the building and erecting himself'
All three methods Provide an excellent way for the retailer to use his short oieces of lumber and odd-sized doors-and windows, and still make a orofit on these hard-to-move items.
- \\rith the addition of identical cabin units, the structure can be built to as large a size as desired.
Plans for the Atomic Fallout Shelter call for Utility grade West Coast lumber for the walls and Standard grade for the ceiling. The shelter is designed to meet the recommended standards of the Offrce of Civil and Defense Mobilization.
The shelter is of crib-type construction and can be built in a basement corner, using the house foundation for fallout protection, plus a one-foot layer of sand in the ceiling ar-rd the double r.ron-foundation walls.
Depending on the size, the shelter can double as a game room, photo dark room, den or storage room for offseason sports equipment. Its sounddeadening properties make it useful for a study or a hi-fi listening room.
Plans for the Starter Vacation Cabin and the Atomic Fallout Shelter (botli fold down to 8f" x 11") are available in quantity without cost from West Coast I.umbermen's Association, l+10 S.W. Morrison Street. Portland 5, Oregon.
