DESC: Every stage of construction receives careful, clear instructions, whether it's the foundation, walls, floors, windows, doors, or roof. Hundreds of photos, diagrams, and illustrations cover flaming materials and systems, floor framing, wall and partition framing, the ceiling, and the roof. A variety of door and window styles is offered, and so is your choice of exteriors, including solid wood, hardboard, plywood, wood shingles, aluminum steel, vinyl, and masonry. Bonus: special tips on interior trims, stairs, porches and decks. There's even a detailed section on the power tools you'll need, how to set up your on-site shop, and how to be your own full-time safety supervisor.
