That is, it- will be 10 when they finish the one they're working on at 1901 8. Lyndhurst dr. ? But don’t dash around there to § gop about it. ' “My goodness,” said | Mrs, Wooten the other day as she nailed on. amother lathe, “it's so bad that when I took my “curtains down at home a few weeks ago to wash them I had all kinds of interruptions from people who wanted to know if the house was to rent or sell.” If you need a roof over your heads, here's how you get started. In 1086 they were “paying an enormous rent for two rooms” in ‘Peoria, TI, where Mr, Wooten had gone to work. So they decided they'd build two rooms of their own. They'd had some practice working on their home here in Indianapolis so it was easy. “I was working nights and it gave me something to do with my spare time,” Mr. Wooten explained. With two rooms built, they added another. After that it was no trick at all to run up a four room house.

Don’t Do Plastering

Mrs. Wooten, who has lathed all ten houses, got her start when they remodelled their home “in Indi- 3 anapolis in 1930. They replaced’ : wallboard with plaster and she wanted to try lathing. “There's really nothing to it,” she explained the other day as she deftly sawed a lath to the proper length.

PS |

I do,” admitted Mr. W. ‘When she gets the lathing dohe she goes on with the painting. “I don't leave brush marks,” she sald with a grin at Mr. W. She's mixed cement for a couple of houses, too and helps put on siding. This summer, though, she’s had “quite a lot of company” so Mr. Wooten did this one alone. Plastering 1s the only part of the job they won't do. “I guess you've just got to grow up with that job,” they said. “But we've never had anyone lay a brick or a cement block for us.” “We've never had one of our| houses finariced or gone into debt | ~ for them,” Mr. Wooten continued. : , “Every pay I've always bought a ‘little lJumber—before the war.
