Wood-Frame House Construction
Bought this book to make repairs to an old house in the country. Couldn't afford a contractor. There are lots of pictures that show you what to do. The overall information is good, except for in some cases where two walls are joined. I figured it out after screwing it up. . .I guess you learn from mistakes! With the help of this book, I saved a lot of money and learned something in the process.
