[Elecraft] K3 Speaker, Season finale

[David Christ]

I would disagree on the size.  I have a book Weyrhauser put out in the early 1950s for people to choose plans from to build a house.  The sizes ranged from 600 to 1100 square feet.  Try to find houses that small being built today.  Two to three thousand are common and four to five are not unusual.  I will admit that houses built in the 1900 to 1920 era may have been larger.  But they were built for large families and quite likely a hired girl.

In 1934 Sears offered material bundles for homes.  I just saw an advertisement for two.  Three bedrooms - 960 and 1050 square feet.
