3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, November 4, 2007

J. Sayer (NC, USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Framing: Floors, Walls, and Ceilings (For Pros By Pros) (Paperback)

I was looking for a book on framing and flipped through this quickly at a local big-box store and purchased it. I should have looked more closely. It is a just a collection of articles from a magazine that are about framing. While they go into great detail on a few chosen topics - they do not discuss framing soup to nuts as I would have expected from the title (or even the quick once-through). If you are interested in some advanced techniques, this might be a valuable resource, but if you want the basics - or at least something comprehensive - look elsewhere.

This review is from: Framing Floors, Walls and Ceilings (For Pros by Pros) (Paperback)

First Sentence:
Like many carpenters in the Northeast, I was taught to frame window and door headers by creating a plywood-and-lumber sandwich, held together with generous globs of construction adhesive and the tight rows of nails that only a nail gun could deliver. Read the first page
