Io% in Labor
5% in Waste writes experienced contractor.
"ln figuring closely on a residence joFas must be done if the job is to be secured-l know I can count on saving 10/6 in labor provided the owner uses Redwood," writes a Santa Cruz, California, contractor of long experience.
"Redwood saves an additional 5%:' he adds, "because it works up with less waste material."
The contractor reports that a single wheelbarrow held every bit of waste from l6xl76 foot poultry house of Redwood (lx4" T. & G. No. 3), built on the Christie Ranch at Delhi, Merced County, California.
Additional evidence on workability also comes from the U. S. Forest
