=26.= The following figures are average prices for =ashlar facing= when the transportation charges are not excessive, and are not given as fixed values, but more to show the relative costs. They include nothing but plain ashlar, and in estimating, the extra cost of sills, lintels, water-tables, belt courses, coping, etc. must be added. These prices are based on quarrymen’s wages of $2.50 per day, and stone-cutters’ wages of $4 per day. Good rock-face bluestone ashlar, with from 6- to 10-inch beds, dressed about 3 inches from face, will cost, ready for laying, from 30 to 40 cents per square foot, face measure; while a higher grade of work will cost from 40 to 55 cents per square foot. Regular course bluestone ashlar, from 12 to 18 inches high and with from 8- to 12-inch beds, will cost about 50 cents per square foot. To this (and the previous figures) must be added the cost of hauling, which, on an average, will be about 3 cents per square foot. To the preceding figures must also be added the cost of setting the ashlar. In estimating the cost of ashlar walls backed with brick, the wall is considered as solid brick, the cost of setting the ashlar being offset by the saving in cost of the brick and mortar and the labor resulting from making part of the thickness of the wall of stone. The cost of raking out the joints and pointing, which amounts to about 10 cents per square foot, must also be added. =27.= The following figures show the approximate cost of cut bluestone for various uses: Flagstone, 5-inch, size 8' × 10', edges and top bush-hammered, per sq. ft., face measure $ .75 Flagstone, 4-inch, size 5' × 5', select stock, edges clean cut, natural top, per sq. ft. .45 Door sills, 8" × 12", clean cut, per lin. ft. 1.35 Window sills, 5" × 12", clean cut, per lin. ft. .80 Window sills, 4" × 8", clean cut, per lin. ft. .45 Window sills, 5" × 8", clean cut, per lin. ft. .60 Lintels, 4" × 10", clean cut, per lin. ft. .65 Lintels, 8" × 12", clean cut, per lin. ft. 1.25 Steps, sawed stock, 7" × 14", per lin. ft. 1.10 Water-table, 8" × 12", clean cut, per lin. ft. 1.25 Coping, 4" × 21", clean cut, per lin. ft. 1.20 Coping, 4" × 21", rock-face edges and top, per lin. ft. .50 Coping, 3" × 15", rock-face edges and top, per lin. ft. .35 Coping, 3" × 18", rock-face edges and top, per lin. ft. .40 Platform, 6 inches thick, per sq. ft. .50
