Defense housing, Erie, Pennsylvania. The entire framework, including sections for doors and windows, is fabricated horizontally. The crew working here will later move to another site and repeat the procedure. This circulation of crews who are experienced in one type of construction adds to the speed with which defense homes are being built. Two crews of forty men each are used to raise the stud frames of a four-unit defense home. On the project shown here, one crew started the framework at 8:30am, fabricating it horizontally, and finished it at noon. The other crew moved in shortly after, erected the stud frame, ends, and floor joists, and finished the entire framework by 4:30pm the same day

Defense housing, Erie, Pennsylvania. Pre-fabricated sheets of asbestos reinforced with gypsum serve as an economical base for plaster walls and ceilings. These sheets, nailed directly to studs, also afford protection against heat and cold. A crew of fourteen men (ten lathers and four laborers) can lathe a four-unit building in a few hours. A crew of plasters moves in as the crew of lathers moves out.

Defense housing, Erie, Pennsylvania. This excavator can dig foundation for two four-unit buildings in eight hours, an operation that would require several days by hand. Foundations go down five feet for cement support blocks. The ground between the foundation blocks is later forked preparatory to receiving a cinder filling. Since there is no basement, the cinders afford a solid base for concrete flooring

Government inspectors keep a rigid check to see that all construction materials live up to government standards
