Build Your Dream Home for Less

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book!!! Very straight forward.
Review: I lost the first copy after reading the entire book and I have bought it again. This is an excellent book for those who want a book that lists by chapter, everything you need to build your own home. This book is for you if you have a basic knowledge of construction techniques and need a book that doesnt try to go so in depth that it just wastes space. I have read 2 other books and they were filled with useless info. The author gives personal accounts of errors he has made while building, and how to avoid them. The book is straight forward and concise. I highly recomend it.

Summary: Just do what the man says
Review: Very good advice throughout from an experienced builder, written in a relaxed and straightforward way. Offers his opinion on the myriad choices--crawlspace vs. basement, ashphalt vs. wood roof, fiberglass vs. steel bathtub--that are usually just provided without guidance by other authors. Knows which choices will return your investment on appraisal.
