Books On Home Building
If you're a do it yourself or or a homeowner who every
once in a while, once to tackle a small or large project but doesn't
know where to begin, can gather useful information from home building
books. I have been using these books for years and may have been worth
their weight in gold.
I started my career working for my father and my father worked for his
father as a Carpenter. Our job was to frame the house and we built a Lot
of homes. I learned how to frame and developed some great carpentry
skills from my father and working with other skilled carpenters. Over
the years, if you're paying attention, even a monkey can figure out, how
to assemble almost anything.
The only problem that I faced, was learning how to build the rest of the
home. I would often ask questions to other building trades like
plumbers, electricians, roofers and construction superintendents. Some
of these people were helpful and others were not. When I was in my early
30s, I purchased my first book on home building. This book lead to other
books and soon I found myself with more home building knowledge that my
father.
I had about 50 books on home building and soon found myself doing large
home remodels, with no formal education. I would attribute almost
everything that I learned outside of house framing to books. These books
have proven invaluable to me over the years and with a relatively small
investment. I couldn't have spent over $200 purchasing these books but
have used the knowledge from them to save myself thousands of dollars.
