Customer Reviews

Educational

I havent read it much, but it appears to have a lot of interesting techniques and explains in good detail.

Good Book for the Average Person

This is the kind of book you find at Home Depot and Lowe's. Lots of big pictures and good instructions. If you are interested in concrete, forms of masonry and how to do it yourself, get it.

Includes A Variety Of Materials

I really like this book. It lists materials and techniques that I had not really considered before. Although it did not answer all my questions it gave me a really good preview of what is out there and what it takes to use it. I think this will be a good book to have around for years to come. I am glad I bought it.

I use this as a masonry reference book

This book covers all aspects of masonry work, from new construction through repair. As a carpenter, I have previous experience with some of the basics of the topics covered, and I would feel confident following the procedures in the book to complete any of the projects listed. As with any work of this nature, there's a reason why some people do this professionally -- there's a lot that takes experience to learn. But, if you know a few basics you'll probably be glad to have this book as a reference.
