    The owner should require the architect to furnish details of the trim (by which is meant the wood finish, window-frames, door-frames, wash- or base-boards, panels under windows, wainscoting, etc.) promptly,—in fact, simultaneously with the plans and other specifications,—in order that the builder may have no excuse for not having all of the trim kiln-dried in time for finishing the building.
