                    3.    Install  an  underground  drainage  system  at  south  and  west
                    sides--sides  nearest  hill.            A  gutter  could  be  installed  on
                    the  south  (back)  side--not  historically  there,  but  would  not
                    be  obvious  on  that  side  and  is  important  to  protect  the
                    walls.

                    4.    The  concrete  footing  and  its  vertical  and  horizontal
                    reinforcement,  and  the  vertical  reinforcement  in  the  chimney
                    should  be  installed  as  per  current  Uniform  Building  Code
                    requirements.

                    5.    Document  your  reconstruction  process  with  black-and-white
                    photographs  and  notes.          Describe  historic  fabric  and  what  you
                    did  to  it  as  you  put  it  in  place.         These  notes  will  become
                    important  documentation  for  anyone  later  studying  the
                    building.       Save  construction  drawings.            Date  everything. ·

                    Your  historical  society  and  your  builder  Tom  Mason  are  to  be
                    congratulated  for  salvaging  this  little  adobe  which  is
                    important  to  your  area's  history.             Good  luck  on  your
                    reconstruction.

                    Sincerely,














                    Daryl  Allen,  Associate
