A masterpiece

I purchased this book to learn the details of quality home construction. I do not plan on building a home myself, but I am interested in how my home is constructed. This book is extremely well-written, and explains the entire process from digging the hole for the foundation to interior trim. Sticky points are discussed, as are tricks for speed, efficiency, and build quality. Quite simply, this is nothing short of a home construction encyclopedia. Armed with tools, inginuity, and a good strong back, one could use this book as a primary reference for home construction. Highly recommended.
