Graphic Guide to Frame Construction (For Pros By Pros)

>>> BlackFriday Graphic Guide to Frame Construction (For Pros By Pros)

This book is my favorite resource for well frame construction. I've used it for as a reference for doing detail drawings and as a reference for doing actual construction. I'm adding on to my house doing most of the work myself. Whenever I hit a snag or need to do something I only vaguely know how to do (which is more often than I'd like) this is the first book I turn to. The drawings are of excellent quality the text is extremely clear and the layout like a fine set of blueprints. Its indexed well enough that you can find what you need quickly. The spiral binding is perfect for taking it to the job site and letting it stay open on the page you need.

For Pros by Pros Exterior Sidi

>>> BlackFriday For Pros by Pros Exterior Sidi

I gave this book three stars because it is basically a rehash of articles that have appeared in Fine Homebuilding in the past. No wait it's not a rehash it's exact copies of articles that have appeared in Fine Homebuilding in the past. Maybe they said that in the description and I just missed it but as a religious reader of FHB I felt a little cheated. If you don't read FHB on a regular basis bump the review up to 4 1/2 stars.

The articles are well written but if you're looking for a step by step primer on how to start with a bare exterior wall and put up siding this is not the book for you. What it does do is give you several different contractors thoughts and ideas on how to put up siding.

Some of the information is transferable from one siding type to another some is not and only applies to the siding being discussed in the article.

In the future I will only buy Taunton books specifically the By Pros for Pros series that are written by a specific author not one that lists editors.
