Complete Visual Guide to Building a House, The Hardcover – Illustrated, 7 April 2014

VERY GOOD BOOKS AT A GOOD PRICE

This book not only spells out each of the major steps in building a house, but includes quite good illustrations.I wish there had been a section on steel roofing, but I’m sure there will always be /something/ missing unless the book is an exhaustive description of all methods of construction. That would take several volumes and this is just a single, albeit thick book. I’ve had some experience on almost all phases of construction, and this is a good reminder of some of the things I had forgotten. The tips also provide helpful tricks.At 520+ pages with great illustrations and descriptions, this book is an excellent reference. It doesn’t cover absolutely everything, but it does address the vast majority of what one would encounter while building a house.

Spot on. Actually explains things and gets into the detail

Not a 100% definitive of where to ‘place every screw’ for example but barebones basics of how houses are assembled with good details and descriptions, I like it a lot. I would recommend if you know nothing about houses but want to build a house one day!

Good introductory text for a decent price. Fast shipping.
