Exactly what I expected. I like the book. Well made and informative. Thank you. A ok A ok A ok A ok A ok.

My husband wants to build a circular drive, and though he has some concrete experience, felt he needed a bit of guidance. I found this book in the local library, and he asked if we could buy it so he'd have one to refer to. Count on Amazon to have it!
Good ideas for outdoor projects such as patios, driveways, sidewalks, etc. Good instructions and pictures and diagrams.

This book i chose to read speaks about masonry and concrete. Masonry is a part of construction that i was always interested in because it has somthing to do with building. This book helped me out alot because it spoked about the aspects of masonry and concrete. This book will tell you about how to mix mortar and is also known as concrete. Concrete is mixed with water and sand and dry cement. This mixer has to be at a cetain amout of ingredients to be a well mix.When the mix is done then the laying brick proccess can be done. Masons should be able to lay the bricks to the line that they use to keep the bricks straight and leveled.When they are done laying to the line they have to use the modular ruler to make sure that it is levled and that the joints are at a 3/8'.
