DETAILED SCHEDULE OF INSTRUCTIONS- continued.
31.—Cellar entrance to w.c. in yard.
Description—The house is without
proper water-closet accommodation,
the access to the closet being through
a dark, badly-ventilated cellar.
(a) Close the collar entrance to the
yard, and construct a passage
through the house on the ground
floor, so as to afford free access to
the water-closet.
(b) Excavate the ground in the collar
so as to allow a space of 7ft. between
floor and coiling, properly pave the
floor with impervious material, and
drain the same by providing an
efficient syphon gully and stoneware
pipe drain communicating with the
sewer. Provide openings for ventilation
and lighting.
32.—Flooring of lower rooms laid on
earth.
Take up floors, excavate ground, and
provide and lay floor joints and new
floors, with sufficient air space
beneath for proper ventilation. Provide
and fix air bricks in external
walls.
