Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This may have been a fine book years ago, but now it is just out of date. Newer, better material have replaced some of the concept in this book and I tried calling the company that does hatch roofs to find out they no longer exist. Some web site links do not work and in the end, I used none of the techniques or materials mentioned. So, for me, it was a waste of money.
If the authors would update the book, I think it could be useful but as it is written, it is old info.

New building products are coming out almost every week. Some of them may become new standards, as sheetrock replaced lath and plaster some years ago. Others are little more than a gimmick. To write this manual, the author researched hundreds of products that have come on the market in recent years. The ones he describes in this book will do the job better, creating a superior, longer-lasting finished product, and in many cases also save you time and money. Some are made with recycled products a good selling point with many customers. But most of all, they give you choices, so you can give your customers choices.In this book, you'll find materials for almost all areas of constructing a house, from the ground up. For each product described, you'll learn where you can get it, where to use it, what benefits it provides, any disadvantages, and how to install it -- including tips from the author. And to help you price your jobs, each description ends with manhours for both the first time you install it, and after you've done it a few times.
