Model Home It was a beehive of activity this week at the Orem-Geneva r . .Times Model Home. The foot- ings for the basement had been poured last week and this week the double forms for the base-! ment walls were being built. Surprising how small a house looks when it is just begun. This one is to have 806 square feet not the largest home in the world, but certainly not thej smallest. I ; The frames for the three-foot basement windows are being built today, and if all goes well the basement . walls will - be poured Friday. i With all the construction underway at the present time it seems that brick is hard to get that is the kind of red brick planned for this house. Inquiries at Provo, Salt i-,ake City and even Ogden are met with the answer, "We have it, but you'll have to wait 60 to 90 days." Something may yet develop de-velop to get brick sooner. However, How-ever, there's still quite -a bit of work to do before the brick is needed. More next week about the progress on the house.
