Book Description:
The claims made about building your own home sometimes sound like an infomercial: "Yes, you, too, can save as much as 35 percent or more on the construction of your new home.
Reviews:
Just OK: This book is strong on charm but weak on expertise. For example I think whenever your explain there are two styles of wood framing, balloon (as in light as a ...) and platform, you should point out the former, requiring studs two stories long, was replaced by the latter a hundred years ago, and is virtually unused today. On the other hand he recommends having a portable toilet on site so as not to "upset your new neighbors". Best as an introduction for beginners. You'll need to read others.
