Aided by over 2,000 large, clear diagrams and illustrations, CARPENTRY AND BUILDING CONSTRUCTION discusses each detail of modern building construction, beginning with the various mateials and equipment from which the contemporary builder can choose, then explaining the process step by step. The authors cover in depth materials, tools and machines, laying a foundation, building frames for each part of building, details of interior and exterior work, painting, and finishing.
Related topics include reading plans, scheduling, building chimneys and fireplaces, protecting against termites and decay, and ensuring adequate ventilation. Present standards in construction are discussed, as are methods of construction used in modular units, prefabricated houses, and mobile homes.—Jacket
