Every automobile should be kept in a firesafe garage. This one is concrete.

Plate 24 shows details of forms for bird bath. This is built up of the three pieces a, b, and c, which are turned in a lathe to obtain the required exterior shape for the bath. They are then nailed together and the resulting ring is cut into three segments that are held together by blocks d, which are nailed to the workbench. The core is made in one piece. It is held in position on the workbench by dowel pins e. The bath is cast bottom side up. When concrete has been brought to within 1 inch of the surface, light wire mesh or expanded metal reinforcement may be pressed into the concrete and the remainder of the concrete placed. Ordinarily reinforcement will be required only for basins or bowls of large diameter.

Plate 25 shows details of a form for building a combined basin and pedestal. Pedestal and basin are cast separately. Form for the pedestal is composed of the pieces a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and ;'. Pieces b and g may be of stock molding. Ornament h is formed by carving or cutting out the inner face of piece d. When the component parts of the exterior form are properly assembled by nailing or screwing together, mitered joint is made. The core is built as shown in Plate 2. Outer corner may be beveled or rounded. Pedestal may be cast right side up or vice versa. Forms are held in position and properly assembled by means of clamps, metal bands, or other devices as previously described.

Concrete swimming pools can be very plain and simple, or quite elaborate.

Plate 26 shows details of form for a vase. This consists of parts k, I, m, n, and q nailed together after the surfaces of parts I, m, and n have been properly shaped or fashioned. Parts l and m are made rigid so as to withstand frequent handling of forms by screwing pieces of angle iron to them as shown. These parts having been properly assembled, mitered joint is made. Ornament p is formed by cutting out parts of pieces q and k and nailing to k the piece marked r. Core is made in one piece and held in position by dowel pins s set up on workbench. Reinforcing for the vase is placed as shown in Plate 43. For ordinary conditions the pedestal will require no reinforcement.

On many farms stock are fed on concrete feeding floors, which can readily be kept clean, and prevent waste of grain.

Plate 27 offers additional suggestions for combined vase and pedestal. The form for the pedestal is the same as that described in the preceding plate with the exception of ornament a which, however, is formed in a manner very similar to that used in forming ornament p on Plate 26. In other respects the vase is similar except for the variations in ornamentation.
