 PREFACE. 
 
 The Author does not claim any invention or new discovery ; 
 there is nothing contained in the work that should not be famil- 
 iar to all experienced builders. But to such, as a book of refer- 
 ence, it will be of great convenience, saving them much time and 
 labor in making estimates. Many builders have long experienc- 
 ed the need of such a work, that would greatly lessen the time 
 and labor in estimating the cost of building, and at the same 
 time teach the workman the art of calculating the cost of build- 
 ings. The special object of which is to show the proper meth- 
 od of obtaining the cost of any contract, large or small, and to 
 greatly lessen the time and labor in making the calculations. 
 The greater part of the book is unlike any other work, with so 
 great a variety of full bills of timber giving the number of feet 
 of frame lumber, boarding, clapboarding, shingles &c., in over 
 two hundred buildings of various dimensions, commencing with 
 the size of 8 by 10 and gradually increasing to 100 feet in length 
 with proportionate width. With such a variety one can hardly 
 fail of finding the desired size with the number of feet annexed 
 The rules tor measuring dimension lumber, wood and bark, will 
 here be found the shortest and best methods for making such 
 measurements, giving such examples and explanations as cannot 
 be found in any Arithmetic. These rules and examples are so 
 thoroughly explained in their several different ways that they 
 should be in the hands of every man and every schoolboy. 
 
 Winchendon, Mass., Oct. 1878. L. E. BROWS.
 
 EXPLANATION OF THE 
 
 BILLS O.F TIMBER 
 
 There is one general rule that builders use alike in all parts 
 of the couutry for framing buildings of ordinary sizes. Hence, 
 in estimating the amount of frame lumber contained in a build- 
 ing, this rule is applied: All studding and floor joists are placed 
 16 inches from centre to centre and all rafters 24 inches from 
 centers for a shingled roof; if a roof is to be slated, place the 
 rafters 16 inches apart, same distance as floor joists and stud- 
 ding. Every bill of lumber contained in this book is estimated 
 by this rule : All studding and floor joists are placed 16 inches 
 from centre to centre, and all rafters 24 inches from centers. 
 In making out a full bill of lumber for buildings of so great a 
 variety and dimensions the author does not claim that all cross 
 timbers in each bill of timber is placed to correspond with the 
 wants of every building of such dimensions, as such timbers va- 
 ry in their places as the rooms may vary in size. But it must 
 be borne in mind that such alterations of cross timbers does not 
 vary the number of feet of lumber in the building, unless the 
 rooms are made unusually small as to require an extra stick, 
 which I do not think will occur in one instance. The variations 
 of such cross timbers simply alters the length of some of the 
 floor timber, floor joists, girts, &c. when the number feet of lum- 
 ber remains the same ; but in many cases you will find the ex- 
 act bill without any such alterations. 
 
 In making out a bill of timber for a building of much size, 
 there are no two men that would make the same allowance for
 
 10 
 
 breakage and waste of studding and joists. No practical man 
 will deny this fact; in a building 25 feet square, it will take 75 
 studs to go round it, making no allowance for the posts, and 19 
 studs for one end of the gable in length to reach to the peak of 
 the roof from the centre of the building; it is not safe to al- 
 low that these 19 gable studs will stud both gable ends, as 
 there is more waste in cutting; and there is studding wanted 
 for shoring and furrowing, for jetting for gables &c.. as I will 
 explain more fully in another place; hence it cannot be expeted 
 that any two practical men will make precisely the same allow- 
 ance. 
 
 In making out the bills of timber contained in this book, each 
 having been carefully estimated, and in all cases great care has 
 been taken to make all proper allowance for waste. <fcc., that 
 there should be no deficiencqs. 
 
 WHAT IS IXCLUDKD IN THE BILLS OF LUMBER. 
 
 The bills explain ; nothing is included that is not billed. All 
 rough lumber is included except the inside partition studs, stair 
 brackets and furrowing. These three items could not be in- 
 cluded and be practical, as buildings of the same dimensions 
 may require three times the number of partition studs as anoth- 
 er building of the same size, varvinsr according to the number 
 
 o * o o 
 
 of partitions. Hence, by omitting these three items, a practi- 
 cal estimate can be given, as according to the rules of framing 
 alike in all parts of the country for buildings of ordinary dimen- 
 sions, studding and floor joists being placed a given distance 
 apart, 1G inches from centers; therefore being governed by this 
 rule it must take a certain amount of lumber and no more, to 
 'frame and raise a building of a given size; the size of lumber 
 being given in each estimate. 
 
 In giving the length of the rafters a proper allowance has 
 been made for the projection. All rafters are estimated nine 
 inches riso to the foot; therefore all shingles in the bills of esti- 
 mate, are estimated at that pitch of roof. When any other pitch 
 of a roof may be required, the length of the rafters may be found
 
 11 
 
 in the rafter table, in such cases strike out the amount of lumber 
 in the roof and make a new estimate of the same, which will re- 
 quire but a few moments work. 
 
 In estimating the number of feet of enclosing, lining and top 
 floor boards to cover the buildings that are estimated in this 
 book, each one has been estimated solid as if there were to be 
 no doors and windows and that number of feet set down ; if 
 square edge boards are used, add 10 per cent. ; if matched add 
 20 to 30 per cent., according te the width used. 
 
 Clapboards also are estimated the same as the boarding, pay- 
 ing no regard to doors and windows. Add one-fourth to that 
 number of fret for buildings of ordinary number of doors and 
 windows, and the estimate will be very near correct for spruce 
 clapboards, which require a little more than one-fourth lap to 
 make good work. The extra lap- and waist will about make up 
 for the doors and windows. Mention will be made of clap- 
 boards in another place. 
 
 The special object of the bills of lumber is to greatly lessen 
 the time and labor for young or old contractors in making an 
 estimate of the amount of lumber in a building of such dimen- 
 sions as may be found in this booli ; the variety being so great 
 and the increase in size so gradual, that one can hardly fail of 
 finding the desired size. The author for many years a practical 
 builder and contractor, has often felt the need of a work that 
 would save the labor of many calculations. Hoping that the 
 work will prove of practical value to others besides the author 
 it is submitted to the judgement of the carpenters and builders 
 of the country.

 In the preceding bills of lumber for buildings of so great a 
 variety, it is not to be expected that the size of* the lumber in 
 in every bill will correspond with the wants of every building 
 required to be built of such dimensions. But for houses, barns 
 and any building required to hold an ordinary amount of weight 
 the timber as billed (for the different size building that are bill- 
 ed in this book,) are of proper size and dimensions. Neither is 
 it to be expected that the author, in all cases, has made the 
 same allowance for waste, extra studding, <fec., as to exactly 
 agree with the ideas of every builder in the land ; but the dif- 
 ference must be very slight. 
 
 The object of these bills to old contractors are to greatly lessen 
 the time and labor in making an estimate, as the variety being so 
 great, one can hardly fail of finding the desired size. For 
 young contractors and workmen, its assistance will be of still 
 greater value. For farmers, mechanics and any one who may 
 wish to know the amount of frame lumber required for build- 
 ings of various dimensions, can, by referring to this book, find 
 the desired information and in connection with other tables it is 
 hoped the book will be of great value to all.

 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 
 
 There is but one true method by which to calculate the cos\ 
 of building, work and material wjiich is practical, safe and correct, 
 lu all the practical works of Architecture and builder's books ev- 
 er published, all of which abound in valuable information, not me 
 of them treat on or give but little, if any, information to the 
 workman the art of calculating the cost of work and material; 
 neither is it ever taught by the master workman, at the bench ; 
 therefore it leaves the workman entirely in the dark in regard 
 to this important part of carpentry. Workmen, by habit, ac- 
 quire the knowledge of doing work, but there are few men who 
 can calculate the cost of work and material readily and correct- 
 ly. This of necessity must be true of every man who has not 
 had experience, as it requires many years practical experience 
 to become familiar with all the secrets connected with this part 
 of the trade. There are many men who have worked at the 
 trade all the'r days and are good workmen, that have little idea 
 as to the cost of erecting buildings, or the proper method of cal- 
 culating the cost. 
 
 There are many contractors also who have done business for 
 years that have no practical system by which to get at the cost 
 of building, Such men labor under great disadvantage and in- 
 convenience often losing money on jobs. Therefore the neces- 
 sity that every man should as far as possible understand all the 
 important points connected with the business he intends to fol- 
 low, thoroughly understand all its its details that fce can rely
 
 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 115 
 
 upon his own judgment.lt will not answer to half know yofci; 
 business and rely upon others for the other half, if you wish to 
 succeed ; this proves true in all kinds of business. 
 
 The art of calculating the <x>st of building being a part of car- 
 pentry all instructions being omitted, there seems to be a 
 demand that this want should be supplied, in view of which the 
 author endeavors to supply in part. 
 
 This part of the work is especially designed for the young con- 
 tractor or workman, that he may become familiar with all the 
 little things connected with this art, which are especially the 
 most important. It is impossible for a man to become a succssful 
 contractor without first becoming familiar with the minor rules 
 connected with the business. 
 
 The deficiencies of all works on carpentry is, they are only 
 available by professional archit ects or by men who have had 
 great experience ; they seem to lake it for granted that all men un- 
 derstand the business ; hence the young contractor cannot find the 
 assistance which he most needs. The author speaks from expe- 
 rience, having realized the difficulties every young contractor 
 must encounter the first two or three years, in order to compete 
 with those who have had more experience. 
 
 CLOSE ESTIMATE. 
 
 For making a close estimate, it is necessary to make a care- 
 ful estimate of each and every article that is connected with the 
 building or job to be done. Figure each item separately is the 
 motto of the most practical builders of the country. No young 
 or old contractor cun be too careful upon this point, which is the 
 secret of making close calculations, as by this method any man 
 of ordinary judgement cannot make any serious mistakes. For 
 example, in making a close estimate, first find the number of 
 feet of frame lumber, cost per thousand feet; second find the 
 number feet enclosing and lining floor boards, cost per thousand. 
 Top floors, clapboards, shingles or slate. Number of window
 
 116 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE 
 
 frames and cost of each ; window sash, window blinds ; num- 
 ber of door frames, or lumber in each ; number of feet of lum- 
 ber for outside finish ; number feet of lumber for inside finish ; 
 cost of sinks, wood or iron; cost of pumps and pipe; number of 
 chimneys, cost of each per foot ; number thousand lath ; num- 
 ber yards of plastering, cost per yard ; number pounds of nails, 
 tin and zinc; window weights or springs; locks, knobs, buttsr 
 latches a-nd screws; number Ibs. of felt paper, (if used;) stairs 
 and railings; mantles and brackets; painting; carpenter work 
 &c., &c. 
 
 It is a good plan to estimate the cost of Piazzas, Bay windows^ 
 Porches, Dormer windows and all such outside finish separate ; 
 
 there being so many different styles and finish they need spec- 
 ial attention. 
 
 The object in separating or making so many items in making 
 a close estimate is especially necessary for unexperienced men, 
 as by this method it is hardly possible to make ary great mistake. 
 There is no other sure method for young or old contractors to 
 estimate the cost of any job large or small, high or low co&t, on- 
 ly as by long experience you can sometimes compare one job to 
 another ; but as a general rule this is a bad plan to adopt, as 
 there are hardly two jobs alike. 
 
 CARPENTER WORK. 
 
 There is no rule, or process of figures which can be applied 
 to different jobs that is practical, safe and correct, as no two 
 men or gang of men will perform a job of work at just the 
 same cost ; neither will any one man perform the same job of 
 work for different men or, at a more unfavorable time in the 
 year at just the same cost. Therefore figures will not give the 
 exact cost, 
 
 Work being the most important item in estimating the cost of 
 building, every workman or young contractor should use great
 
 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE, 117 
 
 care and judgment, giving this item special attention. There is 
 but one method that new beginners can safely adopt, and that 
 is to calculate the cost of each part separately, as in the bill of 
 estimate for material, &c. ; first calculate the time for framing 
 the building, whatever it is, large or small, and so on separat- 
 ing the work and the time for each part. For example : 
 
 ESTIMATE OF WORK. 
 
 Time for framing, raising, boarding, coving and other out- 
 side finish, shingling, clapboarding, making, setting and casing 
 window frames, making and setting door frames, setting parti- 
 tion stud?, casing doors, putting down base boards, laying floor 
 fitting, hanging and trimming doors, casing sink, casing pantry 
 shelving, casing stairs, stair railings, <fcc. 
 
 The object of this is that workmen may become familiar with 
 each part ; every new beginner should adopt this plan until he 
 is well posted, whatever system he may use after years of ex- 
 perience; but it is safe to say however, that you will not adopt 
 a more sure method as it is hardly possible for a man of ordi- 
 nary judgment to make any great blunders by this method.

 You will notice in all cases the plancher and frieze are of the 
 same width; this of course is riot always the case in building; 
 this jet table is designed more particularly to show the shortest 
 method of calculating the number of feet of lumber in any jet 
 or coving, of whatever width it may be, by putting the plancher 
 frieze and cornice fascia together, no matter what each of their 
 width may be it is a much easier and shorter method. If iu a 
 jet the plancer is '20 in. wide, the frieze 24 in. wide, the cornice 
 fascia is 5 in. wide, 4 1-12 feet, one foot in length. In case 
 you wish to use cheap spring cornice and spring the same your 
 self, bed mould also add 6 in. for cornice and 3 in. for bed 
 moulding. For example: in jet plancia 18 in. wide, frieze 20 
 ia. wide, cornice 6 in. wide, cornice fascia 5 in. wide, bed mould 
 3 in. wide add these together will give 52 in. equal to 4 feet 
 one foot in length, and so on in whatever width jet you wish to 
 use you will find this method much shorter and quicker done.

 SHEATHING AND FLOORING. 
 
 In estimating the number feet of matched lumber, altaheath- 
 ing and matched flooring of ordinary width, add 25 per cent 
 after getting the sq. feet you wish to cover j if sheathing is very 
 narrow, eay 2 or 2 l-2in. wide add 40 per cent, as all matched 
 lumber is measured before it is sawed and matched. 
 
 BOARDING BOARDS, 
 
 All square edge boards for enclosing buildings, lining floors 5 
 <tc., calculate the number of sq. feet to be covered and make no 
 allowance for openings. Add 10 per cent. 
 
 TOP FLOORS, 
 
 Unmatched require from 8 to 12 per cent, allowance for 
 \vaste. Matched from 20 to 30 per cent ; very narrow matched 
 2 or 2i in. wide, 40 per cent. 
 
 CLAPBOARDS, LATH AND SHINGLES, 
 
 One thousand feet of spruce clapboards with a large lap,
 
 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 123 
 
 will lay 750 feet; or, the better way is to get the number sq. 
 feet to be covered, pay no regard whatever to openings, then 
 add | to the surface ; for houses with ordinary number of win- 
 dows and doors it is very near correct and a much shorter 
 method. 
 
 One thousand feet of pine clapboards will lay more, as the 
 thin edge is thicker and does not require so great a lap. 
 
 SHINGLES. 
 
 Good 18 in. shingle will average to lay 130 feet per thousand 
 laid 5f in. to the weather, . they will sometimes overrun, but 
 130 feet is a safe estimate.

 Allowances made by plasterers for doors and windows. 
 For doors and windows, one-half the surface of each is to be

 FURRING. 
 
 A short method to estimate the number of feet of furring 
 that may be required to furrow any given number of feet, the 
 same being placed 16 inches from centers. For 1x3 fur- 
 ring it takes 1-5 of the number of surface feet. 
 
 In a ceiling 24 feet square it takes 115 feet or 38 furring 
 12 feet long, 3 feet in each, 3 times 38 equal to 114 feet. For 
 1x2 furring divide by 7 will be a close estimate. If the 
 partitions are set before the building is furrowed, it will take a 
 few more feet; always add 10 or 15 per cent, for waste. 
 
 PARTITION STUDS AND WALL STUDDING. 
 
 The shortest method to ascertain the number of studs required 
 to ytud any building, or any number of feet stud- 
 ding being placed 16 iu. from centre to centre; first find the 
 number of feet in length to be studded and divide by three- 
 fourths, that is it takes three-fourths the number of studding 
 there is number of feet adding one to start with; use the same 
 rule for furring and floor joists when placed 16 inches from 
 centers. 
 
 For inside partition apply the same rule adding about 20
 
 126 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE, 
 
 per cent, for corners, door headers, &c. 
 
 Studding joists and furring that are placed 18 inches from 
 
 centers, two-thirds the number of studding there is number of 
 feet, (allowances made as above.)

 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 
 
 EXPLANATION OF THE RAFTER TABLE. 
 
 It is understood that the length of a rafter is to be measured from the two 
 extreme points from outside of the plate to the extreme peak of roof; but in 
 this rafter table no allowance has been made for the projection of rafters be- 
 yond the plate, or for the ridge board (if such is used.) Hence the length of 
 a common ratter is the distance from the top and outer corner of the plate to 
 the extreme peak of the roof. The table gives the length of any rafter in any

 BRACES. 
 
 To get the length of braces by a short and easy method, where 
 the perpendicular and horizontal runs are equal which is most 
 always the case, multiply the run of brace by 17 and it will 
 giye you the exact length required the length to be 
 measured from the extreme points from shoulders, or longest 
 corners. 
 
 The length of braces as given OD the square or by the rule of 
 extracting the square root makes a brace a little too short ; a 
 small allowance shbuld always be made, Hence to get tin. 1 
 length of braces for regular runs, there is no other way that will 
 give the exact length required. For example : the common run 
 for a brace is three feet; 3 times 17 is 51 inches, the exact 
 length ;every close framer will cut the length of the brace from 
 longest corners of shoulders; when by extracting the square 
 root it will give for the length 50 inches and 91-100 of an inch, 
 nearly one-eighth of an inch too short. If the runs arc 5 feet; 
 5 times 17 is 85 inches, extract the square root and it will give 
 for the length 84 inches and 85-100 of an inch, which is more 
 than one-eigth of an inch too short. This rule can be safely us- 
 ed to obtain the length of any brace that may be required for 
 any building. 
 
 The same rule can be applied to obtain the length of rafters 
 that are to be on a mitre pitch, or 12 inches rise to one foot; a 
 building 24 feet wide, one-half the width is 12 feet; 12 times 
 17 is 204 inches, equal to 17 feet, the length of ralter, from out 
 side of the plate to the extreme peakof the roof, both bevels of 
 course being alike; in rafters or braces the runs must be equal 
 to apply this rule. 
 
 BOARD MEASURE. 
 
 Surface measure has length and breadth only, without regard 
 to thickness.
 
 134 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 
 
 If a board is 12 inches long and 12 inches wide it contains 
 144 square inches or one square foot. Rule; multiply the length 
 by the breadth and divide the product by 12. 
 
 If a board is 16 feet long and 14 inches wide. Example: 
 16 If aboardis 19 1-2 feet long and 1 6 1 -2 
 
 14 inches wide; 19 1-2 multiplied by 16 1-2 
 
 equals 322, reduced to feet by dividing 
 64 by 12, 26 10-12 sq. feet

 RULES AND DIRECTIONS FOR MEASURING WOOD 
 AND BARK. 
 
 SUGGESTIONS TO SURVEYORS. 
 
 Examine the pile or load of wood carefully before taking the 
 measurements, and if crooked sticks are in the pile, or the wood 
 is crossed in piling, or in any way arranged as to make a larger 
 pile than would be obtained by piling straight wood in as com- 
 pact a manner as possible, make such deduction as in your judg- 
 ment would make it sold measure of well packed straight wooil. 
 
 If the pile of wood is in a curve, or part circle, always take 
 the length on the inside of the circle. 
 
 Where wood is designed to be cut 4 feet in length, it should 
 be that length from the point of -one end to the commencement 
 of the kerf of the other end. The same rule, where \vood is cut 
 any other length, is applicable, as regards those lengths. 
 
 In measuring a load of wood where chains arc used to secure 
 the stakes between the Avood, a proprr deduction from the height 
 should be made for the space occupied by such chains. 
 
 In measuring a load of wood when the stakes are farther
 
 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 137 
 
 - 
 apart at the top than at the bottom, the width of the load should 
 
 be taken half way between the bottom and the top of the load. 
 
 In measuring a pile of wood which has a hutment at either 
 or both ends, deduct one foot from the length of each butment. 
 
 In measuring bark that is curled, or warped up, make such 
 deduction as would make it a pile or load of straight bark. 
 
 RULE FOR SURVEYING WOOD BY A MEASURE OF FEET AND 
 TENTHS OF FEET. 
 
 Multiply decimally the length, breadth and heighth together, 
 and you will have the amount in feet and decimals of a foot 
 which can be reduced to cords by dividing by 128. 
 
 SHORT RULE FOR DECIMAL MEASURE WHEN THE >VOOD IS FOUR 
 FEET IN LENGTH. 
 
 Multiply the length by the heighth and divide by 32 and 
 you will have the amount in cords and fraction of a cord. 
 
 In measuring unpacked stove wood, defluct one-third of the gross 
 measure to give solid measure, 
 
 RULE FOR SYRVEYING WOOD BY A MEASURE OF FEET AND INCHES- 
 
 Multiply duodecimally the length by the heighth and that prod- 
 uct by the width and divide by 128 and you have the amount 
 in cords and parts of a cord, as by the following example j 
 
 Find the solid contents of a pile of wood 9 ft. 5 in. long, 3 ft. 
 and 7 in. high and 4 ft. 2 in. wide.

 NOTE. It is usually considered of sufficient exactness to re- 
 ject the parts of a foot if they are less than a half, or if they ex- 
 ceed half, to add a foot in which case, by the above example we 
 have 1 13-128 cord.
 
 CONTRACRORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE. 139 
 
 To measure a load OP pile of wood 12 ft. long and 4 ft. wide, 
 call every 4 inches in height 1-8 of a cord, every 2 inches 1-16 
 and every inch 1-32. 
 
 To measure a load or pile ot wood 8 tt. long and 4 ft. wide, 
 calLevery inch in height 1-48 of a cord, every 2 in. 1-24, every 
 3- in. 1-16, every 4 inches 1-12 of a cord. Sixteen solid feet 
 make 1 cord foot and a pile of wood 4 ft. long,4 ft. wide and 1 foot 
 high contains 1 cord foot and it is usually very convenient in 
 measuring wood to take the amouut in cord feet, which are re- 
 duced to cords by dividing by 8. 
 
 HIP RAFTERS. 
 
 A simple and easy method to obtain the exact length and 
 bevels of hip rafters for any pitch roof; (see diagram above,) 
 A B and A C represents the main rafters, line D E the plate. 
 The line F is drawn on a right angle, of main rafter AB. The 
 line F must be in length of one-half the width of the building 
 at point G. 
 
 The line from G to H gives the length of the hip-rafters 
 required. The line 1 J is the same length as the line G H, the 
 same as to let end G fall to 1 to top of plate H, remaining on 
 its position at the peak of the roof. The line 1 J is to obtain 
 the bevels at each end. Apply the same rule for any pitch 
 roof. First draw the main rafter lines, then draw line F in 
 a right angle with the pitch of the main rafter, in length of one- 
 half the width of the building as described in the diagram, above 
 from point G to H, will always give tht length of any hip raft- 
 er of any pitch roof, with the greatest exactness.
 
 140 
 
 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE 
 
 EXAMPLE. 
 
 Suppose a building to be 24 feet wide, one-half the width is 12 
 feet, the rise of the main rafteris 6 inches to one foot; the length 
 6f the main rafter is 13 feet and 5 inches; in this case the right 
 angle line F from main rafter will be 12 feet to point G; the 
 line from G to H is 18 feet, the length of the hip-rafter re- 
 quired. The line 1 Jalso is 18 feet long, or the same line end 
 G drops to the line of plate, as explained before, to give the bev- 
 els at each end. 
 
 OCTAGON. 
 
 To obtain the equal si4es of an octagon by a square. The 
 plate above represents a building 50 feet sq. First make the 
 square lines AB and CD ; the line E. is drawn on a line from 
 corner to corner of the square in length to correspond with the 
 sides of the building which is 50 feet to point S. 
 
 To get the lines F and G, place the blade of the square on 
 the outer lines at a point that the tongue of the square will 
 strike the end of line E at S; then draw the line H, as shown 
 in the plate. The line H will be the equal length of the eight 
 square or sides of the octagon.
 
 CONTRACTORS' AND BUILDERS' ESTIMATE 141 
 
 The same rule will apply to any size building or square to be 
 octagoned, always remember that the line E must be in length 
 to correspond with the width or sides of the building. If a 
 building is 24 feet square the line E will be 24 feet long to 
 point S ; if 10 feet square, line E will be 10 feet. If a block is 10 
 inches square line E, will be 10 inches long to point S. The 
 line H will always give the equal length .of the sides. 
 
 The bevels of an Octagon. Place the blade of the square 
 at 8 1-2 inches, the tongue at 20 1-2 inches will give the pro- 
 per bevels. 
 
 PAINTING. 
 
 For estimating the cost of painting no general rule can be 
 given. It is customary to charge for each coat of paint put on, 
 and eevry part should be measured that is painted and allowances 
 made for covering deep quirks in mouldings, carved surfaces, 
 difficult mouldings, railings of iron &c 
 
 The condition of the surface to be painted governs the price 
 per yard. It takes from 4 to 6 gallons of oil for 100 pounds of 
 white lead, depending somewhat upon the heat or cold. 
 
 FRENCH OR MANSARD ROOF. 
 
 In estimating the amount of frame lumber contained in a 
 building which requires a Irench or mansard roof. Add one- 
 third to the amount of lumber contained in the pitch roof, that 
 is the frame lumber above the plate. Take the number of feet 
 of lumber contained in the rafters, colfer girts and gable studs 
 adding for a french roof. The diffreuce cannot be stated ex- 
 act as the pitch of the straight roof size of lumber &c. \vill vary 
 but to assist in making an estimate of buildings of an ordinary 
 size, this estimate will be practically correct.

 MEASUREMENT OF LOGS 
 
 WITH THE USE OF CALIPERS. 
 
 CORD MEASURE. 
 
 TABLE 1 Gives the contents of logs in cord measure. This 
 table is based upon the following rule viz : Square the 
 diameter in inches, multiply by the length of the log in feet, 
 divide the product by 144; result obtained in feet. Calipers 
 applied in centre of log when of ordinary length. If logs are 
 over 12 or 14 feet long the place of application of calipers 
 should he moved towards large end of log. Logs 20 feet and 
 over in length should be calipered in sections of 10 or 12 feet. 
 In the use of this rule the diameter is usually taken over the 
 bark. The place of application of calipers is however some- 
 times varied by contract between parties. This rule gives the 
 entire contents of the log in cord measure without reference to 
 its imperfections (always excepting rotten and worthless logs) 
 or to what it may finally be sawed into. The chopper, the 
 drawer, the buyer .and seller receive full measure. The ques- 
 tion of quality and discount to be considered when the price is 
 fixed for the logs.

 MEASUREMENT OF LOGS, 
 
 WITH THE USE OF CALIPERS. 
 
 INCH DOARD MEASURE. 
 
 The object in this measurement, as claimed by the authors of 
 tables, is to show the number of feet in one inch boards that 
 may be obtained from a log of given dimensions. 
 
 In examining the many different rules and tables used for this 
 purpose, I find myself confronted by figures as contradictory, as 
 they are numerous. Selecting thirteen inch measure tables and 
 rules, which have been used in New England, and taking as a 
 basis, a log 12 feet long and 12 inches in diameter, I obtain the 
 following results, viz : 
 
 Doyle's Rule gives 48 feet. 
 
 Scribner's Table, 59 
 
 State Law of New Hampshire, " 67 " 
 
 Younglove's Table, " 68 " 
 
 Partridge's & Table, (reduced to inch) " 70 
 
 Humphrey's Rule. " 72 " 
 
 Wilson's Table, 75 
 
 Bangor Rule. ' 75 " 
 
 A pair of Calipers, (author unknown, " 77 " 
 
 Holland's Rule, 78 
 
 Rule from ButtVBusiness Man's Assistant, " 81 " 
 
 Cook's Table, 81 ' 
 
 Derby's Table, 81 
 
 The entire contents of a log 12 feet long and 12 inches in di- 
 ameter at centre, (or to be precise with a mean diameter of 12 
 inches,) is in inch measure, 113 feet. 
 
 Making the usual deduction of 25 per cont. fqr saw 
 
 kerf, we have, , 85 " 
 
 Deducting 20 per cent, (instead of 25) which approach- 
 es nearer mathematical accuracy, even though the 
 saw make a cut of J inch, we have 90 " 
 
 as the contents of the log in inch measure, making NO ALLOW- 
 ANCE for slabs or straightening of edges.

 In the above extracts, some of the tables which give the same 
 measurement on a 1 2 inch log, differ widely on logs having a 
 greater diameter. Such is the disagreement that it may be 
 claimed that uo two authors have arrived at the same results. In 
 the brief space at our disposal it will be impossible to explain in 
 detail the cause of these variations. I can only speak of the 
 more important. 
 
 Some tables give the contents of the log when sawed into 
 boards all square edge, with parallel sides. By this rule the di- 
 ameter is taken at the small end of the log ; in which case all 
 the swell of the lo<r and also the contents of the slabs, however 
 thick, is not included in the measurement. 
 
 Another author works from the same basis, but allows a cer- 
 tain number of wany edge boards to be sawed ; which number 
 varies according to the size of the log. Others allow the boards 
 to be sawed tapering, to conform to the shape of the tree, squar- 
 ing the edges of most of the boards. Another makes the boards 
 all round edge. 
 
 Some authors openly avow that they make allowance for 
 
 " CONCEALED DEFECTS," &C., &C. 
 
 Now while the authors of these tables differ thus widely the- 
 oretically, in reference to the manner in which these same inch 
 boards should be sawed, still other elements come in, in prac- 
 tice, which tend to add additional complications. 
 
 First of all, the timber itself has much to do*with its produc- 
 tion, especially when sawed into boards. The size, age, shape 
 and kind, all affected greatly by the nature of the soil on which 
 it grows, produces ever varying results. It is not an easy mat- 
 ter to find two sawyers who will obtain the same number of 
 feet of boards from a given quantity of logs. A. saws his 
 boards so thick and gives such width in measuring that they 
 will hold out measure when thoroughly seasoned. B. finds it 
 difficult LO set his guage so that the boards ever come out quite 
 uiie inch thick even before they are seasoned. C, (representing 
 no small number,) meets with many difficulties, and his boards 
 frequently leave the saw in the form of clapboards, or shinglea.
 
 51 
 
 All of these sawyers (especia^v the latter.) will talk knowingly 
 of measurements. 
 
 If the authors of these tables were dealing with the question 
 of the measurement or solidity of the log itself, they should 
 come to the same conclusions ; for only one mathematical rule 
 could be used in the solution. But these inch "measure tables" 
 so called, seek not the measurement of the log, but a measure- 
 ment of the product of the log in inch boards. 
 
 With equal propriety tables might be made giving the sup- 
 posed contents of logs when manufactured into shingles, clap- 
 boards, joist, pail staves, chair stretchers, broom handles, &c. j 
 all of which would be convenient for the manufacturer as ta- 
 bles of reference, but could not consistently be used for the pur- 
 poses of general measurement. Whatever might have been the 
 fact thirty or forty years ago, it is unquestionably true today, 
 that not one log in ten that is measured by these same tables, is 
 ever sawed into one inch boards : hence in their use there is at 
 least a misapplication. 
 
 It makes but little difference which table or method of meas- 
 urement is adopted ; you may use Doyle's rule, giving 48 feet 
 in a 12 inch log. or Derby's giving 81 feet; no injustice is done 
 if the facts are all made known to the parties interested. 
 
 The man who draws thj logs at a stipulated price, with the 
 understanding that a table is to be used giving him 81 feet, would 
 not be willing to draw them at the same rate if they were to be 
 computed by a table giving him only 48 feet. The purchaser in 
 giving $10 per M for logs by Doyle's rule, would not be satisfied 
 to pay the same price if they were measured by Derby's. 
 
 While the purchasers of logs have generally some knowledge 
 of tables, and may be trusted to guard their own interests ; it is 
 not unreasonable to assert that not one man in a hundred en- 
 gaged in lumbering (including the laborer,) has any knowledge 
 of these said inch measure tables. 
 
 In exposing the inconsistencies of these tables, I desire to 
 throw no obstacles in the way of the purchaser of lumber, tend- 
 ing to lessen his legitimate profits. I have, however, endeavor-
 
 52 
 
 ed to present a few facts, hoping that all persons interested in 
 lumbering may be induced, to either accept "cord measure'' as 
 heretofore explained, as the standard of measurement or some inch 
 measure table, which is based upon the solidity of the log and 
 which gives its contents. 
 
 It must be evident to all that for the purposes of measurement 
 alone, the proper question for consideration is, the number of 
 feet and inches a log contains of sound timber ; all other mat- 
 ters should be settled in the adjustment of prices.
