Review: Worth getting - If you are a builder, remodeler, or repair handyman, it is a very well written book with good tips and tricks. Obviously the title is BUILDING a house, not installing wires or HVAC systems, etc. so its really a carpentry book. Even for non carpentes working on houses it is a good reference if you need to know how buildings are laid out, where studs and blocking are behind the walls and floors, etc. Definitely will come in handy, plus the neat tricks and tips like using a string. Just a few sentences with good illustration made me get it right away when I used to struggle with it.
Review: An Excellent Resource - This book not only spells out each of the major steps in building a house, but includes quite good illustrations. I wish there had been a section on steel roofing, but I’m sure there will always be /something/ missing unless the book is an exhaustive description of all methods of construction. That would take several volumes and this is just a single, albeit thick book. I’ve had some experience on almost all phases of construction, and this is a good reminder of some of the things I had forgotten. The tips also provide helpful tricks. At 520+ pages with great illustrations and descriptions, this book is an excellent reference. It doesn’t cover absolutely everything, but it does address the vast majority of what one would encounter while building a house.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good info
*by M***. on February 28, 2024*

Not a 100% definitive of where to ‘place every screw’ for example but barebones basics of how houses are assembled with good details and descriptions, I like it a lot. I would recommend if you know nothing about houses but want to build a house one day!
