Complete guidance,
By A Customer
This review is from: House Framing (Paperback)
This book is a complete, detailed, and accurate guide to professional house framing, leaving nothing to guesswork or doubt. Gives complete coverage and provides sketches, drawings, and photos of details. On a scale of 1 to 10, I rate this a hefty 10. As a builder, this book is a must for my how-to shelf. John D.

This review is from: House Framing (Paperback)
Do not waste your money on this book! The computer generated photo's are pathetic at best. This is a poor example of text on such an important topic.
