Working on it

I have a labor of love that I may never finish but this book set me off on the right path. For novice this book really gives good insight in plain language.

Good general review of siding installation principles with excellent details of special projects

Good review of general principles for installation of many different exterior siding materials, with associated trim moldings to add the professional touch to your project. Very fine examples of specialty work by excellent craftman provides good examples of specific regional methods and styles. Although the publishers promote the theme of "By Pros For Pros" as an amateur who came to the book looking for some specific guidance and clues on better ways to build a mousetrap (so-to-speak) I was not disapointed. Some projects are a bit esoteric and are fine examples of very specific exterior craftsmanship better left as a magaizine article with a reference in a periodic index instead of a chapter in a survey book on exterior finish work. Still, for my money and time, this publisher and series gets my attention first time everytime.
