Carpentry and Construction - Softcover

Revised to include the latest home construction methods, materials, and equipment, this volume is designed as both a vocational education text and an on-site reference for carpentry projects. Instructions and photos and illustrations guide readers through each step in building or remodelling a home, from initial planning and site preparation to interior finishing and porch completion. Topics of particular interest to practising contractors and homeowners include remodelling kitchens and bathrooms, installing decks and patios, working with treated lumber, building for solar heating, and preventing termite damage.
