What reading level is Our Homes And How to Make the Best of Them book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Guy Dawber have to say about England's historic half-timber homes, so stal- wart and so patterned in Lancashire and Cheshire, but becoming more delicate in niceties of technique as we journey through the rich sweet pastures of the midlands, onward to the home counties around London, the brain centre of progress. Kentish woodwork has long been noted for its refinement, and some critics speak of French influence ; but I am ready to hold, against aU-comers, that English craftsmanship at its finest... is unmatched elsewhere in Europe.
For the rest, the timbering outside was usually tarred or painted black, as a protection against wet and decay ; and the contrast between this dark colour and the white plaster was, and is now, cheery and hospitable, more so, perhaps, than the tener red used on the framework of German timber-houses. In England the plaster was sometimes impressed with patterns ; * S. O. Addy's " Evolution of the English House, " pp. 29, 30.
123 OUR HOMES usually it was whitewashed, but gayer tints were not unknown.
