Abstract
Abstract A method of and prefabricated panel for the construction of a building exterior in which one or more layers of a plurality of facing material is secured to a sheathing with a blank space on each end thereof. At one end of the sheathing is a full blank space and at the other end of the sheathing is a partial blank space. The full blank space is equal to the width of a facing material and the partial blank space is equal to one-half the width of a facing material. A plurality of such panels are placed end to end to form a building exterior with the full blank space of one sheathing adjacent to the partial blank space of the adjacent sheathing. A facing material substantially equal to the partial blank space, which may be temporarily secured to either one of the panels, is fixedly secured to the sheathing of one panel in the full blank space and adjacent to a facing material on the said one panel adjoining the full blank space. Another facing material, which also may be secured temporarily to either one of the panels, is fixedly secured to the sheathings of both adjacent panels over the contiguous ends thereof to occupy the remaining two partial blank spaces.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
389 words
In a building construction method making use of a plurality of elongated panels assembled together to form a building exterior, the steps of: fixedly and permanently securing units of facing material to one side of sheathing or base strips, distributing the facing units along the length of the base strips whereby at one first end of each panel the facing units are spaced from the end of the sheathing strip a distance approximately equal to the full width of a normal facing unit, and whereby at the other second end of the panel the facing material is spaced from the corresponding end of the base strip a distance approximately equal to one-half of the width of a normal facing unit, temporarily and removably securing a normal full width facing unit to the base strip adjacent the first end thereof, temporarily and removably securing a one-half width facing unit to the base strip adjacent the second end thereof, thereafter abutting two panels end to end so that the first end of the sheathing of one panel abuts the second end of the sheathing of the other panel, removing the temporarily and removably secured full width unit of facing material adjacent the first end of the one panel sheathing, removing the one half width unit of facing material temporarily and removably secured to the sheathing of the one panel adjacent the second end thereof and fixedly and permanently securing the thus removed one half width unit of facing material adjacent the units of facing material fixedly secured to the sheathing of the one panel near the first end thereof so that the one half width unit of facing material is spaced from the first end by a distance equal to approximateLy one half of the width of a unit of facing material, removing the one half width unit of facing material temporarily and removably secured to the second end of the other panel sheathing, and fixedly and permanently securing the full width unit of facing material which was removed from the first end of the one panel sheathing to the first end of the sheathing of the one panel and to the second end of the sheathing of the other panel whereby the full width unit of facing material overlies the abutment of the sheathing of the first and second panels.
