      "A great book that takes you through every step of building a house"

      This book gives you in-depth details about carpentry that are missing in most other books that I've seen on the subject. The only thing I wish it had, was more information about print reading. Other than that, I would recommend getting the book and companion DVDs together.

    • Great carpentry pro tips.

      Larry Haun really did a great job with this book. The companion videos tie everything together very well. I highly recommend this to anyone that is intimidated by this kind of work. It is well within the scope of reasonable active and healthy humans to do some of your own work.
