Construction Features
For Alaskan Homes
Shown at Valley Fair
An interesting display at the
13th annual Matanuska Valley
Fair this past week end was a
model house that illustrated con
struction features recommended
for Alaskan homes hy the agri
cultural engineering section of
the Alaska Agricultural Experi
ment Station in Palmer.
Structural features of the
model were about one-quarter as
large as those in an actual small
house. Different stages of con
struction were shown from saw
dust insulation to the finished
painted siding. Low cost housing
as applied to this recommended
construction includes heating and
maintenance costs over a period
of years as well as building ex
pense. Insulation which adds to
the cost will result in lower fuel
bills and more comfortable living
over the years, the engineers
said.
