about this book: This Volume 3 represents 18-20 years of basic field research observing and recording problems in housing construction...working as a superintendent, bank construction inspector, and project manager.

The topics covered include interior doors, windows, finish carpentry, cabinets, electrical, light fixtures, HVAC, plumbing, tile, stairs, and stair handrail.

At a glance...conveys the idea of a picture being worth a thousand words. The over 400 drawings and images in this book, with a bare minimum of required explanatory text, provides the reader with a quick yet exhaustive boost up a level into the savvy information database of identifying and preventing housing design and construction "bugs."

The theme of this book is the pursuit of excellence...the quest for information that will help everyone working in the housing construction industry to move closer to the ideal of perfection in design and construction, thereby increasing confidence, competence, and performance.

Because every topic is illustrated...builders, architects, and interior designers can translate applicable illustrations into new details on the plans, insert information into the specifications or construction notes on the plans, and include these topics as items on construction checklists.

I thoroughly enjoyed writing and illustrating this 3-book series...and hope they have an beneficial impact for the building construction industry.
