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.
