Consumer Reviews

Soon after contracted builders let me down and stole my deposit, I decided to build an extension to my property myself. Having never built anything much more than a youngsters playhouse, I went in seach of books to aid. I'd taken out countless from my nearby library, but they only gave brief explanations on several items--absolutely nothing from the ground-up. Then I bought this Housebuilding book--it is definitely terrific! It covers every thing from footings and foundations, walls and sheathing, to the cupola on the rooftop in clear, concise grammer and especially simple and easy-to-follow illustrations. It gave me enough self-confidence to go ahead with my project and it turned out lovely! Even although my extension is carried out, I've kept the book handy to aid me with my next project--a new shed/workshop. Bottomline--if you want an all-in-1 guide and straight forward instruction in excellent creating, this is definitely the perfect reference manual you could get.

This was a especially instructional book for a person like me who doesn't know a entire lot about construction. I was searching at undertaking an addition, but this book was additional for new construction. Though it did aid a lot in some places, I had to locate further resources to help me in creating positive my addition was completed currectly and to code. Quite fantastic illustrations, even though.
