Widtsoe's .... 42 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten 64 VERGESSEN SIE NICHT: In dem Haus, an dem Sie bauen, müssen Sie SELBST wohnen! Jeder Mensch baut irgendwie. Sie auch! Frage: Wissen Sie, daß Sie in dem Haus, an dem Sie unaus- gesetzt bauen, auch selbst wohnen müssen? Also nicht einfach drauf- los bauen. Auch nicht wahllos und unbedacht zum Material greifen. Die Korrektur von Baufehlern erfordert doppelte Zeit, doppelte , : »'•' *l^'ii'ii'f'l'iilill" 'i'i'll'l'|-V Arbeit, doppeltes Material und doppelte Kosten. Zuerst planen, mit Vorsicht und Bedacht planen. Dann ebenso vorsichtig und mit Bedacht handeln, bauen, Stein um Stein in harmonischer Folge aufeinanderlegen. Vergessen Sie dabei nie, daß Sie für sich bauen. Wählen Sie schlechtes Material, haben Sie ein schlechtes Haus. Verlieren Sie viel Zeit beim Bauen, laufen Sie Gefahr, nicht rechtzeitig fertig zu werden. Es kommt also einzig und allein auf Sie an. Machen Sie keine andern Menschen für Ihre baulichen Mangel verantwortlich.
