Practical House Building: A Manual for the Self-builder

I've only had chance to flick through but so far it's the only proper own-hands building book I have managed to find - and it looks truly excellent.

Ok

Great thanks

This book is ideal if you are building your own house or having one built.It explains all of the stages in close detail.Postage was quick but not fast.

this book goes through all areas from foundation to finish carpentry and has lots of little tips. These tips are a lot more valuable than perfect scenario instruction manuals.

Very clear description on all procedures of house construction

If you are a practical person and don't want to let any tradesmen loose on your self build project then this is the book for you! A very practical guide for anyone who is competant. Why buy a book that tells you how to manage builders and tradesmen? Buy this book and you wont regret it. I am now on my 2nd new house build and still keep refering back to it

This book is just what I was hoping for. Lots of practical information not just page after page of pictures that don't really tell you anything. I will be keeping this with me on site when I start my own self build.
