They transported 17 tons of material from New York, assembled the structure in five days in December 1963, finished interiors by May and added handmade furniture. Total cost reached 8500 dollars with foundation and stone fireplace boosting the price.

Carpeting Used To Sell New Homes Says Survey

About half offer a fixed carpet allowance, while some include it as a standard item or as an optional extra.
