This book has a lot of great information and detail. Unfortunately, it needs a good editor to clean it up. There were full pages repeated in the text and a lot of distracting mechanical errors throughout. I'm not even a grammar snob and have my fair share of flubs. If it stood-out to me then it was bad :).

[Jordan Stoeger]

I have to echo other posters and point out that while the information in this book is good, great even, the delivery is far sub par. Sections of text are repeated in multiple places -- how did that get past the editor?!

[Joseph Roach]

Really informative book for owner-builders.

[Kent Lester]

Best version of this book ever. In full color with an additional 120 pages of detail added.

[Nick Woodall]

I read this book and built two homes and an office. Superb source, especially the checklists and forms.
