Reader Review
This book is my favorite resource for, well, frame
construction. I've used it for as a reference for
doing detail drawings and as a reference for doing
actual construction. I'm adding on to my house,
doing most of the work myself. Whenever I hit a
snag or need to do something I only vaguely know
how to do (which is more often than I'd like), this
is the first book I turn to. The drawings are of
excellent quality, the text is extremely clear,
and the layout like a fine set of blueprints. Its
indexed well enough that you can find what you need
quickly. The spiral binding is perfect for taking
it to the job site and letting it stay open on the
page you need. I'd highly recommend this book to
apprentice carpenters, general contractors, architectural
students, architects, and do-it-yourselfers. |
