Using common sense born of experience and talking right to you instead of over your head, author Bob Syvanen explains concise methods for building a house's exterior shell. Relying on numerous supporting illustrations, this book conveys the accumulated wisdom of master carpenters. Be you novice, journeyman, or would-be master, you will be able to avoid bewildering complications, shoddy construction, and frustrating delays by following the tips revealed in this book. You will also wind up with the house you want, not the on your contractor built.
Step-by-step procedures are presented in the order in which a house's exterior components are actually built. Learn first how to select the correct species of lumber, how to move it, and how to stack it. Then, from girders and beams to joists and sills, from siding and framing to roofing and exterior trim, discover the best way to get the job done while overcoming potential problems. Also included are instructions for interior partitions as well as a number of miscellaneous tips and advice on the care and feeding of tools.
Bob Syvanen has been a professional builder for nearly four decades. He acquired his extensive knowledge about construction by working for numerous builders and contractors. He also learned much from his own mistakes. So will you.
