Part 1

, using 1-3 Portland cement mortar, is $5.23 per perch.

_Summary_

From the foregoing calculation, the quantity of rubble masonry is 3,209.2 cu. ft. Taking 25 cu. ft. to 1 perch, 3,209.2 ÷ 25 = 128.4 perches, which at $5.23 per perch makes the total cost of rubble masonry $671.53.

ASHLAR[9] _Quantities_ SQUARE FEET Facing for cellar walls, 79' 10" × 2' 2" 173.0 Porch piers, 29' 6" × 1' 6" 43.9 ------- Total ashlar 216.9

[9] The walls between the base sill and the water-table are faced with ashlar, which extends around the main walls to the porches, and all porch piers are built of ashlar.

_Cost_

The estimated cost of ashlar is based on the following analysis of the cost of 1 square foot of ashlar:

Cost of stone, bluestone facing $.40 Hauling stone .03 Mortar .01

Labor, estimating 64 square feet per day of 8 hours, for two masons and one laborer:

Two masons, at $3.20 per day .10 One laborer at $2 per day .03 ----- Cost per square foot $.57

_Summary_

From the foregoing quantities, the ashlar amounts to 216.9 square feet, which, at 57 cents per square foot, will make the total cost of ashlar $123.63.
