The concréte blecks are thea put together in e corners by dovetailing. The roof and the sidewalls are joined in the sawe way. ©One outstanding advantage in this methed Is that houses ean be bullt by | akgost unskilled labérers, as most of the cast eoncrete blecks are made to fit exactly where they belong before heing erected. Another feature is the easy way a damaged building can be repaired, the sefective hlock omly being replaced by a new eme. Wall paper and paint are easlly applied.
