This Old House Guide to Building and Remodeling Materials

Rating:
Summary: Excellent information on home construction materials.
Review: This book provides lots of information on common and lesscommon tools, materials, and supplies for doing anythingto or around your home. It was an invaluable reference as I was planning a large addition to my home. Anybody who owns a home should have this book. Not only does he give tons of illustrations, but he also provide text on a lot of home subjects giving hints about how to do many tasks and tradeoffs between using one thing over another. I hope he has a new one in the works.
