Customer Reviews

Text and graphics are crisp, clear & easy to understand.

From paging through this book and reading some of the Table of Contents, one may easily ascertain that this book will guide them through almost all phases of single family dwelling constuction. The graphics in the plumbing chapter, for example, gave color coded drawings of how the various pipe types should be routed through a home and what size they should be. Also included before each chapter, or phase, is a list of tools and materials requisite to completing a given project such as roofing.
