Partitions are removed to create spacious living areas and porches are added for the housekeeper’s convenience.

A Department of Labor report notes farm product prices rose 100 percent while building materials increased only 35 percent, the smallest rise among commodity groups. This implies builders may face higher input costs relative to product pricing.
