Book in good shape, and delivered as expected. Happy.:
Received the book in good shape as stated. The delivery time was also as expected. Happy and will buy again.
Highly Recommended.:
I struck gold on this one. Just an absolutely fantastic, practical introduction to framing. Mr. Thallon does a great job on the material, and the illustrations are well-done. While my purchase was done more out of pure curiosity than a pending project, I did pass it on to a friend who was building an addition to his house. He was impressed, and used the book extensively during his build with great success resulting in a solidly built addition that he can have confidence in.
Great reference:
A great reference for the DIY homeowner. Lots of drawings to show you the right way to do things from foundations to framing.
pretty good:
This book has a lot of good framing scenarios interesting tidbits. Both a good reference and interesting to page through.
