Show Houses Built in Day Modern four-room dwellings, built of nonburning materials covered with a thin veneer of metal, are being erected erect-ed completely in 24 hours by builders of Budapest, Hungary. Although the homes are inexpensive, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, it Is claimed they have the advantage of being protected against fire and will last over a long period of time without the need of repair. The parts of the structures are all designed and prepared before construction Is started so that the pieces may be quickly slipped into place and fastened without further fitting fit-ting or cutting. The method is reported report-ed to have been copied from that em- i ployed in the manufacture of toy I houses made from sheet metal. |
